The handsome pageant was broken up into three categories, and with each category would come a question which the individual was suppose to answer. While the audience was not yet aware of what these questions would be, everyone understood the three categories. These categories were as follows; Beach Attire, Bad Boy, and Sweet Theme. The three seemed fairly straight forward, all things considered, but that was part of what made them so easy to break the norm. After all, anyone who saw the three would plan for the same type of apparel. It was only natural, as the three usually came with a certain mindset, but Jove was a different sort person. He didn't look at common things and arrive at a common sense solution. Sadly, he was much more complicated than that. It wasn't necessarily a good nor a bad thing, and there was no guarantee it would help him in any given situation, but it was how things were.
The beach attire, for example, would usually draw one to think of a swim suit. However, that's not all there was to beaches. People would often go for grilling, for relaxation or to tan. As a businessman himself, he often found himself at the beach to enjoy vacation. A break from friends and family, a step away from monotony, an ability to embrace the finer desires and whatever impulse may pop into his mind. It was something he enjoyed when he had been working in finance, but had yet to find an opportunity for since becoming a Rune Knight.
For bad boy, many would expect the stereotypes. However, to defy generalized cultural norms and embrace whatever pop culture was at the time was the simple solution. Counter culture went well beyond the broad stratum of fashion, and one could achieve the bad boy attire in an entirely unique approach. It was how Jove himself planned to approach this problem, at least.
And finally, there was the Sweet theme. This one was much more difficult to parse. It seemed to imply just that; To make one come across as sweet. This one was the hardest, as there was no real cultural establishment of what made a man sweet. Being an entirely subjective topic, this would be the most difficult of the three for Jove to broach. Still, it was time for the categories to begin, and Jove planned to win it all.
