A special avatar as a result of Gaia Online's "April Fools' Day 2004" YGS box event.

Your avatar's face became covered with soot, and it remained for the entire day.

A Sootface will revert to its previous condition after saving changes to the avatar, but some users liked the look and decided to keep it.

This status was intended to be temporary, and therefore CANNOT be recovered after it is gone.

...See also Invisibob, as they are directly related to the Sootface.

A pubic hair piece. A toupee for the pubic area/genitals. In the 1700’s when mercury was used to treat sexually transmitted diseases (Gonorrhea or Syphilis) one of the side effects was the loss of pubic hair. To disguise this condition, that was not cured by mercury, a Merkin was employed.
