A meme from a fellow RPer:
Nobody wants paragraphs and paragraphs of purple prose, but I'm really curious about the physical details of people's characters. Here are some questions/prompts/things; pick one or fifteen characters, answer, and post for the edification of your RP partners. ^.^
Typical outfit, or sense of style?
Height?
Hair color?
Eye color?
Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)?
Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc?
Typical expressions and/or gestures?
Posture and movement?
What does their voice sound like?
Hygiene routine, if any?
Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)?
Any physical insecurities?
Tess
Typical outfit, or sense of style? Dresses well, in tailored pants or pencil skirts, high heels and silk blouses.
Height? 5'9"
Hair color? Auburn/red.
Eye color? Blue.
Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? Athletic, but more on the skinny side. Long legs, average chest.
Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Pierced ears. She's been the subject of a lot of physical abuse, so she likely has scars, though I can't specifically say where other than to say they're generally covered by her clothes.
Typical expressions and/or gestures? Rolls her eyes a lot. Crosses her arms a lot. Tries to keep her expression fairly neutral, but amusement, anger, or disbelief at the stupidity of her company tends to shine through.
Posture and movement? Fairly relaxed posture, unless she's stressed and then she's more rigid. She moves carefully and with purpose.
What does their voice sound like? Low, husky.
Hygiene routine, if any? She loves a good bubble bath to relax in. It's not really touched on in canon, but I suspect she's very meticulous about her hygiene.
Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? She wears perfume, likely something simple and/or classic, like Chanel No. 5 or somesuch.
Any physical insecurities? She knows she's not drop dead gorgeous, but she's also very good at making what she's got work for her.
Clark
Typical outfit, or sense of style? Jeans, workboots and a plaid shirt when at home, dress pants, shirt and tie when at work. Jeans, a blue t-shirt and an awesome red jacket.
Height? 6'4"
Hair color? Dark brown.
Eye color? Green.
Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? Built, not like a bodybuilder, but the boy has muscles to spare. Tall and stocky. He looks bigger than he is.
Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Nada. Yay, yellow sun!
Typical expressions and/or gestures? Generally appears serious or apologetic. Sometimes both at the same time!
Posture and movement? When he was younger he'd slouch to not appear as big as he is. Now that he has more confidence, he carries himself with much better posture. He moves very carefully. Obsessively so.
What does their voice sound like? Not as deep as you'd think! Unless he's angry or being Very Serious.
Hygiene routine, if any? He works a farm, so he's pretty conscious about showering daily, sometimes more, so he doesn't smell like a barn.
Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? Hopefully, not like a barn. Otherwise, he doesn't usually wear aftershave or anything similar. Word has it he smells like clean grass and sunshine, though.
Any physical insecurities? Oddly, he was spared this particular insecurity. Not that he thinks he's amazing looking, but he figures he's pretty average and he's okay with that.
Alice
Typical outfit, or sense of style? Doesn't care about clothes for the most part. Jeans and a t-shirt are cool.
Height? 5'7"ish.
Hair color? Red.
Eye color? Blue.
Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? Tall and skinny. She has a dancer's body.
Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Pierced ears.
Typical expressions and/or gestures? Most of her expression comes through in her eyes, likely because she has a massive amount of unruly hair that tends to mask her face from time to time. She's generally very serious, but once she's comfortable with someone, she can be a bit of a goof and smiles a lot.
Posture and movement? Excellent posture and graceful movements. She is a classically trained dancer.
What does their voice sound like? A little husky, but higher pitched than her mother.
Hygiene routine, if any? She makes sure she's clean, but she's not super concerned about it unless she's just had a practice. Her hair is a pain to take care of, so she can be a bit lazy in dealing with it.
Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? I... have no idea. Probably whatever soap is in her shower, occasionally mixed in with bunny.
Any physical insecurities? She's a stick figure which is awesome for dancing, but she's often jealous of her older sister's curves. She'd like to have boobs.
Shere
Typical outfit, or sense of style? A black leather catsuit. Otherwise, comfortable dress pants and a blouse. Or, a barely-there dress if she's partying.
Height? 5'8"
Hair color? Dark brown.
Eye color? Green.
Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? She's got a bit of muscle, but not overly so. Long and lean. Athletic.
Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Pierced ears, belly button. A small tattoo on her right ankle. Lots of scars, mostly on her back and arms.
Typical expressions and/or gestures? Amusement and/or smugness.
Posture and movement? She moves like she's stalking prey. Which she is.
What does their voice sound like? Low, seductive.
Hygiene routine, if any? Takes very good care of herself. Leather is hot and sweaty and that's not fun.
Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? Something musky, but not overpoweringly so.
Any physical insecurities? She thinks her lips are too big. Otherwise? God damn she's hot.
