character survey ❚ in progress
body&appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Average with broad shoulders, a bit boxy otherwise. He used to exercise more than he does nowadays, but he goes back to it when he needs to keep himself occupied for whatever reason. He's about 5'10" (1.75m). His hair helps.
2. How old is he?
Thirty-three years old. Turning thirty-four on December 14th.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Slouches slightly when he walks and prefers to keep his hands to himself, either in his pockets or crossed, sometimes even tucked under his arms. He doesn't like to have them unoccupied or exposed. He hunches more when he sits down and usually leans his arms on something. He'll hug himself if there are no armchairs or tables to rest them on.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
It's his mental health that causes more concern, but he does pretty well in the physical front. He has a scar or two from his childhood, nothing glaring or traumatic.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Like any normal man with an ounce of confidence, but sometimes it falters. Lewis' eyes are fixed on the ground when he's absentminded and looking everywhere when he's more alert.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Pretty attractive! People usually comment on how they want to ruffle his hair and on his precious little blue eyes that kind of contrast with his strong jawline. Lewis does put some care into his appearance -- more than he used too, anyway.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Light, slightly tanned because he spends most of his days outside. He makes sure he doesn't lock himself up in his apartment too much. His skin isn't terribly smooth.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Dirty blond, short and rebellious. As for style: he runs his hand through it, gives it a bit of a ruffle and calls it a day.
9. What color are his eyes?
Something close to light blue. They stand out.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Non.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
Shoulders and feet. He'll wake up with hideous cramps sometimes.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Semi-casual, sticking to dark tones and blue. Jeans and semi-tight jackets are the way to go
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
He used to be a fan of baggy clothes. It made him look careless and helped him blend in, or so he thought. He still looks for comfort but with more sophistication.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Just about the same when he had a job here or there. Currently unemployed and living off his parents' money.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Briefs.
