meme: more than meets the eye

[unburnt-queen.livejournal.com]

Holy CRAP I have internet, and I'm naturally bored within twenty-four hours of such, so I require a meme. We did this one back in May, but what with the BDE leaving some scarring and two batches of newbies since, I thought we might want an update!

There are certain characteristics about the people we play that *we* know, but we get tired of repeating in every introductory ping. There's also stuff that players wouldn't really be able to figure out just looking at an icon--how tall someone is, if they have an accent, what kind of clothes they are wearing...and in some cases, if their eyes/hair/whatever are different than
the PB we've picked.

Comments

Luke Castellan

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Yay for copypaste.

→ Luke has a long white scar running down the right side of his face. Very noticeable and, because of it, he tends to look menacing when he smiles.
→ He has pretty, pretty blue eyes. When he's being used as Kronos's vessel in the future, his eyes will turn gold when Kronos is in control. idek what it is with evil people and yellow eyes.
→ He has blonde hair that looks white in the sunlight and it's short, but unruly.
→ Has terrible taste in clothes. Like, jorts in the summer and t-shirts that are bright orange. Ugh. Chuck would not approve. The only good thing about Kronos taking over is that he finally puts Luke in flattering clothes.
→ In the summer he'll wear sandals but if it's cooler or if he thinks there might be a fight he'll wear black Converse that will have wings pop out the sides once he says his grandmother's name.
→ Speaking of wings, he's got wings tattooed on each side of his ankles.
→ Luke's very muscular from all the sword fighting. I have no shirtless icons so you will take my word for this.
→ 6'1". Mmm. Tall guys.
→ Luke's got a bad case of Batman voice (http://youtu.be/vGOMN9hX7Fs).
→ Thanks to his ADHD, he is almost always moving. He'll shift from foot to foot when he's standing, or bounce his leg up and down when he's sitting, but will otherwise move gracefully, like a trained fighter would.
→ Hermes kids always look like they're about to steal your wallet. He is completely incapable of looking innocent.
→ Canonically most people find Luke to be extremely handsome (and will say so even after he goes all evil) and he is good looking, but lately he hasn't been sleeping or eating due to being nervous about the whole Kronos suit thing so he's gotten a lot paler, looks tired and is losing quite a bit of weight so all in all he looks kind of sickly at the moment.

Buuuuuuut the sickly thing will only matter for a few more weeks but that's for another OOC post.

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

Tyrion Lannister...

• Is, as you may have figured out, a dwarf. ("Little person," if you'd prefer, but dwarf is exclusively used in canon and it is the medical term.) Peter Dinklage is considered tall for a dwarf -- he's 4'5". I'm saying Tyrion's a few inches shorter, since the books and the camera angles used on the show suggest as much.
  
• Has strawberry blondish hair, cut in a sort of Prince Valiant style that generally looks a little messy. Blue eyes. (Unlike in the books, yes.)
  
• Speaks in a relatively deep voice with a Westeros English accent.
  
• Dresses like he's a rich man from ye olde times. Well-made tunics, doublets, breeches, high boots, etc.
  
• Have some clips: slapping Joffrey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0qjl9PfbSw) and confessing his crimes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHx-kita75Y&feature=related).
  

[not_in_the_book]

I will never, ever get tired of Tyrion slapping Joffrey. Never ever. :D

Raven

[trigons_child]

- Loooooooong jet black hair, usually straight, goes down past her waist.
- Pale blue eyes, unless I retcon canonize them to purple (oh, DC).
- Has a red gem stuck to her forehead (the wonderful artists of DC constantly move it around, resize it, change it from teardrop to diamond to oval and back again, and change it from smooth to faceted, wtf). It's not glued on, it's part of her, but it can be forcibly removed. Or bitten off, as the case may be. Thank you, canon.
- Is usually wearing a pair of gold earrings that glow faintly
- Tends to dress in lots of black, but has had other (dark!) colors forcibly added to her wardrobe. Unless it's wicked hot out, she's usually wearing her cloak, too. AND NEVER PANTS. RAVEN NEEDS NO PANTS.
- She's tall, 5'9" or so, slender, but with a typical comic book improbable rack.
- Tends to speak formally (i.e., no contractions), very softly, and with a trace of an accent you just can't place.

Raven's Soul-Self
- Looks like a giant bird, only more two-dimensional than not.
- Is black, black like my soul, and shadowy.
- It's solid when it wants to be, intangible when it doesn't. Oh, writers. Really, look at the scan. Goes through walls AND able to wrap around you.
- The outline of her Soul-Self has a golden glow.
- Except when she's evil. Then it glows red.

Raven's Demon Form
- Her skin turns red. Or pink or orange, depending on who's coloring her.
- She gets another pair of eyes above the ones she always has, and all four glow red.
- She loses clothing. Seriously.
- She grows fangs and her fingers get all claw-y.
- Her ears get pointy. She's a demonic elf.

Angelica Jones

[whitequeensfire.livejournal.com]

- About 5'8" tall
- Verrrrry slender
- Long red hair, just past the middle of her back, usually worn down
- Green eyes
- Very pale skin
- Tends to dress very casually and doesn't wear much makeup
- Tends to be rather shy and awkward and standoffish due to being afraid of hurting people with her powers
- When she's on the job she's wearing yellow and red spandex. And a mask over her eyes that CUNNINGLY hides her identity.

Hercules

[olympian-herc.livejournal.com]

→ Tall. 6'5" tall, and built like a bodybuilder.
→ Greek. Though he speaks unaccented English (and no longer speaks Ye Olde Englishe)
→ Does not Manscape (which is visible when he's in the not-long-for-this-world battle-toga)
→ Speaking of, he's normally in pretty casual clothes (jeans, polo shirts), with a tendency towards green things.
→ If there's danger or adventure, out comes the battle-toga (aka, the skirt, sash, and sandals number visible in many of his icons.
→ Medium length brown hair, beard, and mustache.
→ He's pretty. I have no PB icons yet cause I've yet to find one I'm happy with (I'm oddly leaning towards Alcide from TB right now), but he is a hunk of studmuffin.
→ He talks with his hands a lot.

Cassel Sharpe

[cursedconman.livejournal.com]

→ Cassel's 17 years old but can look older or younger thanks to his training as a conman
→ Has very dark eyes and thanks to Ezra Miller for a PB, he kind of looks like he can suck out your soul through them
→ Around 6' tall and lanky
→ Has a very good poker face and only shows the emotions he wants you to see unless you take him by surprise
→ Has a foreign look about him so he can often pretend to be from different places and people'll tend to believe him
→ Has a slight Jersey accent but is not a full-blown Pauly D and The Situation thing
→ Floppy black hair that is always in his eyes
→ Constantly wearing gloves unless he's asleep or in the shower. He usually picks black ones 'cause it goes with his wardrobe but he has all different colors
→ Of course, thanks to his powers, he can make himself look like a completely different person if he wants to

Re: Cassel Sharpe

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

Gloves like this (http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrao2t7qNd1qc3fkjo1_r1_500.jpg) only not that attractive orange color? Black is back, baby!

Toby Logan

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

-- Is about 5'7" (the actor is 5'9", so I'm giving him a bit more room to grow)
-- Pale blue eyes and dark hair that's short, with a tendency to be kind of sticky-uppy at times.
-- Speaks with a fairly standard Ontario accent (http://youtu.be/RSrMhXlzGV8).
-- Tends to dress in clothes that are a bit on the shabby side, and don't quite fit. Not to mention that while he is *slowly* building up more of a wardrobe, he doesn't actually have that *many* clothes, so he probably wears the same thing several days in a row just out of habit.
-- Skinny, though not the dangerously-close-to-malnourished skinny he was when he first arrived.
-- Often looks spaced out/distracted due to the telepathy.
-- Conversely, if he's reading *your* thoughts during a conversation, may look like he's staring at you.
-- Isn't particularly *good* at blocking out thoughts, so while he's not intentionally eavesdropping (well, most of the time), he'll occasionally pick up on people's thoughts during normal conversations- though I am always, always willing to edit a ping if you'd rather him not have 'overheard' something in particular.
-- Has a line of grey patchy skin going up his spine thanks to the BDE.

Ronan Nolan

[not_in_the_book]

Scars! Ronan has them. The major one I try to remember to mention when it comes up, since it's, uh, on his chest and thus usually only something you see if he's about to sleep with you (a fairly messy one where the Spear of Light came v.close to killing him), but he's also got one bisecting his left eyebrow -- about a third of the way in from the outside -- and three straight, parallel ones on the heel of his left palm, the middle one longer than the other two and also a little thicker.

-is about 5'10"
-has an Irish accent that intensifies when he's tired. Or when he's flirting.
-is 21, so actually younger-looking than in his icons, but younger JRM photoshoots are, quite honestly, just plain odd, the lot of them. ;) Also his hair was too long.
-tends to darker clothing a) as a remnant of his teenaged goth phase and b) because he just likes the way it looks on him
-decently built, if not bulky or outright muscular -- definitely more toned than anything
-is probably checking you out, yes. yes, you. and you. and you, too.

Simon Bellamy

[forhisfriends.livejournal.com]

-- Is around 5'8"/5'9", average build though he's been building up some muscle and is broad-shouldered by nature.
-- Has meticulously cut and combed dark hair (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/QueenCCC/fh/chars/simon/bluepalejaw.jpg), big blue eyes, lantern jaw of great justice.
-- Is pale. Paler than Nathan, possibly even paler than Bod. Seriously, the guy's literally white in some scenes.
-- Unlike many of his icons indicate, is not ever wearing an orange jumpsuit.
-- Is seriously inspired by the late Ian Curtis of Joy Divison fame. Generally wears dark jeans, a dark shirt (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/QueenCCC/fh/chars/simon/darkdenim.jpg) buttoned all the way up, and a dark denim jacket (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/QueenCCC/fh/chars/simon/darkdenim2.jpg), though occasionally he can also be seen wearing – gasp! – a lighter colored shirt (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v424/QueenCCC/fh/chars/simon/occasionallyhoodie.jpg) and black hoodie. Under the jacket.
-- Acts a bit shy and a bit awkward because he is. Doesn't smile if he doesn't have a reason to; ditto for talking, though he doesn't need a huge reason. Just be nice to him.
-- Is English (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx_gtkBIPwY) and sort of quiet and soft-spoken. And yes, that's a fairly accurate representation of how little he speaks, often enough.

Daenerys Targaryen

[unburnt-queen.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR NEWNESS.

Has long, long silver-blonde hair, usually either down with a few little braids, or braided back entirely.

Large green eyes -- no, we're not going with what's in the books, wtf purple.

Speaks in a Westerosi English accent.

Generally wears long, loose-flowing gowns, or rough-woven pants and tube tops. LOOK I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO CALL THAT THING. WRAP-TOPS?

Tiny. Like, Jaina Solo-tiny. I have no idea how tall Emilia is, but in book-canon Dany is wee, and they certainly paired her with a lot of real tall dudes on the show to emphasize it. See icon.

That being said, while she's generally on the slender side, right now she's a little curvy -- her hips and thighs'll probably slim down, but her bust is a little bigger. And if you've got an eye for it, she's had a baby and breastfed (...but not the baby. I know, it's weird/gross to think about.)


And speaking of: the dragons

All of them are around the size of an iguana or so now.

All of them can breathe fire.

All of them treat Dany like a mommy like a total weirdo.

Drogon: Black and red
Viserion: Cream and gold
Rhaegal: Green and gold

Nathan Young

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

→ Tall. He's 6'0 at least and probably seems taller than that because of his hair.
→ Has got a mop of curly brown hair. It gives the girls something to hold onto (that's his reasoning).
→ Skinny. Lanky. Gangly. All those terms apply because the boy's seriously lean.
→ Has light green eyes and thick eyebrows.
→ Has a heavy Irish accent. He's definitely not incomprehensible, though. That would be Kelly, if you're looking for a hard to understand accent of the Misfits crew.
→ Has three tattoos: one star on the top of one wrist, some kind of swirly thing on the inside of another wrist (I've seen some people say it might be a fleur de lis and some just say it's a squiggly bunch of lines) and three stars arcing in a curve near his waist.
→ He's very animated when he talks. Very, very animated. He uses his hands, his eyebrows, everything he can.
→ He's often smoking. He probably smells like smoke too.
→ Tends to wear jeans, t-shirts, flannel shirts, hoodies and low top Chuck Taylors. Again, not a fancy a dresser but he also thinks he looks good in anything.
→ Very, very vulgar. He's an unflinchingly vulgar twat. His speech is littered with curse words, derogatory terms, and insults.
→ Immortal but that's not really something that shows up in his appearance unless you happen to kill him and he comes back to life healed up and ready to go.
→ Pale. Pasty. Whatever, he gives no fucks, he thinks he's beautiful.

Andrew Wiggin

[endsthegame]

Copypasta!

- Has grey-green eyes, as I've determined after visiting too many fansites for his PB. (So does Valentine.)
- Hitting six foot something. Is probably going to end up at about 6'2'' or so. (And now I might actually stick by this, too. Shush. Canon describes adult him as tallish.)
- Is a lot less scrawny than his PB - he's built up more than his fair share of muscle, and he's well on his way to growing into it. This image from comic canon shows it nicely.
- No longer hides said physique - he wears nice, reasonably fashionable clothes, though they never stray too far from military utilitarian.
- Has light scars on his knuckles from where he used to gnaw them open, but they're only there if you know where to look, and a tiny scar on the back of his neck from the monitor he had on as a kid.
- Has an accent so neutral it takes Midwest and laughs in its face.
- Carries himself as a soldier - but only to the point where it's noticable if, again, you know where to look.
- Tends to swing between the clean-cut soldier and the hair-down-to-the-neck looks.
- Generally radiates compassionate-but-closed-off, and will very quietly draw himself towards the background a lot of the time unless he sees reason not to.
- That being said, if he sees a reason not to, he can go from 'not here' to 'very present and naturally in control' in .5 seconds, which will hopefully be obvious from dialogue and narrative.
- Never, ever finishes everything that's on his plate when he's eating. (No seriously, that's canon.)
- Doesn't really own socks.

Warren Worthington III

[wwiii]

- 6'0" and 150 lbs. He's got a very well-toned upper torso, to account for, you know, flying. Why is he so light? Hollow bones. Awww yeah.
- Now that he's come out with it, his wings will be pretty much always visible while he's on the island, unless narrative states otherwise. Not all of my icons show them, because the movieverse hates me, but they're white, feathered, and they span sixteen feet.
- He's got blue eyes and short blond hair, which he almost always wears styled like this icon, here.
- And he doesn't need a shave no matter what the icon says. The icons liiiie but Ben Foster is pretty and I can't say no.
- He's fairly soft-spoken, even when he's angry. He just gets quieter when he's angry. And he sounds like, obviously, Ben Foster.
- And even when he's wearing blue jeans, they're not cheap blue jeans. It's not necessarily that Warren is flaunting his money about with his wardrobe. It's more that he doesn't entirely grasp that Gucci is what most people consider expensive.
- The claws! They're new! They were his 'scar' from the BDE. Black, hooked, tiger-like claws, non-retractable. He doesn't hide them as much as he did when they were new, but more often than not he's got his hands half-closed to obscure the sight of them a little anyhow.

Jonothon Starsmore

[furnaceface]

- 5'9" tall, and ridiculously slim- he weighs 140 lbs. We're assuming that this is his weight with or without the gaping hole in him, and that the psionic energy that's billowing from him makes up the difference. Or something.
- Brown hair that looks almost red-tinted in certain light, and chestnut eyes. Which occasionally flicker to solid white, generally when he's feeling particularly moody.
- When he's on the island, he will always be wearing a combination of black trousers, black bandages that serve in the place of a shirt and go right up to just under his nose, and a black leather jacket (Now with gratuitous X-Logo on the shoulder). Unless the narrative states otherwise.
- He speaks with a somewhat bullshit Cockney Marvel-version of a painfully stereotypical East-end London accent. Telepathically. He's been getting practise actually using it, so it's starting to sound a bit more like a voice in the head and a bit less like a somewhat awkward echo, fortunately. And he's been easing up on the cockney some, lately. You can understand most of what he says now, after a couple of years in America.
- He smells like burning sulphur. Or burning tires. Or burning garbage. It all depends on how anti-mutant you want to come off as when you notice the smell, apparently.
- When he's wearing his bandages, which is pretty much any time that he's out in public while he's on the island, they fill out now so that you can barely tell there's nothing under there. He's gotten better with controlling his flames now, so it looks like there's a jaw in there.
- Also? Burn-scars. Just because Marvel's artists got lazy and nixed them in his character design about a dozen or so issues in doesn't mean they're not there. From under the bandages right up over his cheeks, a few reaching even up to his forehead.
- Sans-bandages, his hair tends to tousle about a bit in all directions, presumably from the heat coming off of the flames, which billow out from where his upper lip would be right on down over his chest to where his bellybutton ought to be. What skin is left around those flames is ragged and scarred. His eyes are almost always the solid white when the flames are out. Presumably for the scary factor. This is Jono, after all.
- His fire plays mood-ring, sometimes! When he's seriously mellow or at least trying to put off a soothing vibe, it shifts to blue flame. When he's angry, there are extra sparks and curls of red-orange and yellow flame. Most of the time, it's more like staring into a campfire, though it curls out in all directions from his chest.

Jessica Hamby

[redheadbabyvamp.livejournal.com]

- Red hair and blue eyes.
- 5'10" and slender.
- Extremely pale skin. Funny, that.
- Her fangs aren't visible unless she gets excited, and there's a fairly audible special effect click when they pop out.
- Fairly strong Louisiana accent.
- Will look like she's a teenager foreeeeeeeeeeeeeever.

[therewaslife]

→ He's got sober grey eyes. I'm not photoshopping that but his eyes are described as precisely that.
→ Mouse colored hair. That basically means he's a blonde and his hair's no longer really floppy. It used to be cut severely short but he's grown it back to almost floppy again. Everyone can thank Kate for that.
→ Pale. Pale pale pale. He's a very pale guy. He's had his shirt off to show just how pale.
→ English. It's never stated exactly where he's from but he's English and I've always used John Simm as a model for his voice.
→ Probably a little under six foot tall and lanky. He's got a lot of lean muscle from walking and climbing but he's not overly toned.
→ Quiet. It's not a physical characteristic, usually, but he moves quietly. He got used to doing that in the graveyard.
→ Asks a lot of questions. A LOT. It's how he learns.
→ He's gotten better about smiling but it's still not all that common.
→ Very, very smart. He had some 'I was there' tutors so he knows more about some history than textbooks will teach.
→ If he's ever got his shoes off, his feet have a lot of scarring as a result of getting stuck in Silent Hill. They don't look grotesque but he took a lot of damage and it shows.
→ Wears a banded ring on his right ring finger. He's not engaged but he's committed.
→ Has a tattoo of some Latin script on his right side
→ Casual dresser. He spent his child in a white shift so he's grown into just wearing loose jeans, button up shirts and comfortable sweaters.
→ Walks slowly. He's not poking along deliberately but he likes to take in his surroundings and soak it all up.

[vanillajello]

but he's grown it back to almost floppy again. Everyone can thank Kate for that.

Kate will very gladly take credit for that.

Peter Wiggin

[lockestheway]

- Is 5'9''-ish, and quite put out that he's shorter than his brother.
- He's also slimmer than Ender, and canon describes him as striking, though not so movie-star-handsome that he immediately jumps out. He has some obvious resemblances to Ender, but not that many.
- According to canon, has that sociopath really-I'm-totally-focused-on-you stare that charms people, though he's enough of a selfish asshole that it can only hold up for so long.
- That being said, isn't a complete sociopath - though all of the Wiggins have a smidge of it, imho. His smidge is just more obvious, especially due to all those neglect issues he's got.
- Dresses well. Which is notable, considering how little he cares for any of the other trappings of high school popularity.
- Radiates a certain sense of pride and confidence. Unless he's just fucked up something royal, in which case he really mostly just radiates 'teenage boy in a despairing snit'.
- Has mostly-grey eyes, and not really spectacularly muscular, though he's not fat. He has better things to do, omg.
- His accent probably has a hint of North Carolina in it, though it's not super-noticeable.
- Mostly comes off as incredibly annoying when he's trying to be clever and snarky. Though that might just be Bean's bias talking.
- Reacts BADLY to being touched, though he doesn't have Ender's kung-fu skills and hence won't break your arm for it. Unlike his brother.

Bobby Drake

[longislandiceme]

- Is not Shawn Ashmore.
- Is about average height at 5'9".
- Speaks with a typical New York accent.
- Has brown hair and eyes (see above re: not being Shawn Ashmore), despite what the comic artists at any given time might say.
- Has hair that matches the style in this icon, despite hairstyles present in any of the other icons (or, again, what the comic artists at any given time might say. I prefer it when it's not spiky and that's that). There just aren't enough Sky High icons out there.
- Has the build/athletic ability of someone who's spent years getting fight training. Because he has. He spends time working out in the gym when no one else is likely to be around, and goes running every morning. Doesn't talk about it.
- When he's fully iced up, looks like a moving ice sculpture! His features are obscured enough that he can't be recognized, though.
- Does not need to wear a jacket or any sort of protection from the cold, but occasionally will just for the sake of appearing normal.
- Thinks those blue sunglasses make him look cool.
- Dresses fairly casually in jeans/t-shirts, but this will start to change soon, dun dun duuuuun.

Percy Jackson

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

→ He's a short dude. He's about 5'10 and that's as tall as he's gonna get. Don't laugh, you were once that short too.
→ Jet black shaggy hair. It's floppy and not at all like a helmet, thank you very much. It does move when it gets touched. Ask Luke.
→ His eyes are sea green. They're actually pretty nice looking even if the rest of him is a little short and stocky. Whatever.
→ He's not totally buff but he's gotten a lot more muscled after three years getting chased and attacked by monsters. His arms especially are toned up after handling swords and holding onto things so he doesn't fall and die.
→ Wears casual clothes. T-shirts, jeans, sneakers. He doesn't really try to overdo it and doesn't really feel comfortable in fancy clothes.
→ He's never without a specific ballpoint pen. He keeps it in his pocket but it changes into his sword and he doesn't tend to let anyone else handle it.
→ Bratty, bratty attitude. He's short tempered and aggressive but stops just short of being mean, really. Still, he's a brat.
→ Has a tendency to stare. Just ask Luke Castellan, yeah.
→ His accent's more New Yorkish than anything else even if it's not that heavy.
→ He's got a tattoo of a Triton on the underside of his forearm.
→ Like almost all demigods, he gets restless easily. He wants to move, to be in motion, to be doing something.
→ Might be caught staring into space because his attention's been lost and his mind's already thinking of other things. It's not personal, it's a demigod thing.
→ Can speak ancient Greek but doesn't really go around using that as his primary language.

Re: Percy Jackson

[trickydemigod.livejournal.com]

Sooo short, Percy. Tiny, tiny munchkin.

Jeremy Darling

[stars_and_money]

-- 5'11" and average build; doesn't work out but doesn't have much extra on him, either.
-- Floppy medium brown hair and green eyes.
-- Always wearing a necklace with a round silver pendant, along with a bunch of other jewelry: two rings on his right hand and one on his left, a watch on his left wrist, and a silver bracelet on his right.
-- Wears expensive clothes. As far as casual clothes go, he's generally rocking dark blue jeans with a button up shirt, with or without vest and/or t-shirt. Dressing up a bit more, he likes his suits shiny (when it's not a basic black suit white shirt event), or possibly made of velvet.
-- Especially in the morning, he can be caught wearing his dorky glasses. And space-patterned pajama bottoms. Doork.
-- General American accent, uses words like 'wet' and 'maximum' to refer to things he thinks are cool. Talks with his hands and body a lot.
-- Smiles a lot, too. Especially when talking to girls. Flirty, but maybe just a touch too prone to being flaily to really be suave.

Alistair [last name redacted]

[badnewsandwit.livejournal.com]

- Reddish blond hair and brown eyes.
- Strong, muscular, and totally built for a good fight or two. Despite the fact that he moves like a complete dork.
- Is a complete dork, and has a very animated face: lots of eyebrow raises, winks, kitty faces...
- Because of the Joining, he's got a hint of demonic taint in him that's... actually under control, which is fairly strange for a taint. It also means he' got a massive appetite and a direct link to the darkspawn hive mind, though the former is probably more noticeable than the latter.
- When in doubt, opts for armor. Otherwise, loose tunics would be the general thing, though you'll see him in them less than you'd think.
- Also tends to tote around his shield (all the time) and his sword (whenever he's not on campus) wherever he goes out of habit.
- Frequently makes jokes just to mess with people, but will always cop to it when called on it. He'll generally try to be friendly to eeeveryone, in a very teenage boy kind of way, though he can also be relentlessly earnest.
- Unless you're mean. And/or Morrigan. Yeugh.
- Has a British Fereldan accent that isn't too overpowering.
- Often sounds slightly more bitter when the Chantry's involved.
- Always wears this round, wooden necklace-thing around his neck under his clothes. Maker knows why.
- Has issues with the idea of leading *anything* because of SPOILER

Firekeeper/Blysse Norwood & Blind Seer

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper/Blysse Norwood:
- Approaching 20, and still in high school yes. Blame not being sure of her exact birth date, as well as an encounter with a time difference between Fandom and home.
- Despite the age, on the underdeveloped side of things due to malnutrition during her childhood. Probably slightly over five feet.
- Almost always barefoot, except in winter.
- Dresses fairly simply, tunics and leather breeches at home, t-shirts and jeans in Fandom.
- Has hair that reaches just past her shoulders, though it's usually tied back.
- Has an accent that, in her world, would be described as "colonial Pellish". I'm going to assume the analogy is to a standard American accent.
- Carries a dagger with a cabochon-cut garnet set in the hilt at her side. The knife's craftmanship is very obviously high quality- which makes sense, since it originally belonged to a prince.
- Has arms and legs that are pretty well-scarred thanks to growing up wrestling wolves and other wild animals for fun.
- Is, unless the narrative explicitly mentions his absence, usually accompanied by Blind Seer.
- Will introduce herself as Blysse, despite the narrative saying 'Firekeeper'. She'll let you know if you can use her true name.
- Speaks the language of Beasts, which is represented typographically by italics since it's not a purely verbal language. It's not telepathy, and can be understood by anyone who'd have the means to understand animals (or even just wolves in particular), including radio squirrels :D

Blind Seer:
- Is huge. Easily two or three times the size of an average wolf.
- Can read a little. Also understands what you're saying.
- Has eyes that never changed from puppy-blue. This is incredibly unusual and when it happens is usually an indication that the wolf is blind. Blind Seer is not, so hence his name.

Sam LaCroix

[necroslacker]

→ Average height. He probably tops out at about 6'0 and that's pushing it.
→ Brown hair that's messy, floppy and in his eyes though not enough to make him look emo.
→ Average build. He's not slight or pudgy. He's got some lean muscles gained from skateboarding a lot but nothing that would make him bust out of a shirt or enter a Mr. Universe contest
→ Hesitates to take his shirt off because his back is a patchwork of scar he got from a werewolf attack. He's not scared of what people think but it's hard to think of excuses for scars that extensive.
→ Very, very rarely gets angry so if you wanna provoke him, expect to work for it.
→ Might have various gashes, scrapes and lacerations on his person at any given time because of 1) skateboarding or 2) blood being needed to raise the dead
→ Has a Pacific Northwest accent for the most part since he's from Seattle
→ Wears casual clothes but tends to go for things that are worn in and comfortable. That doesn't mean he wears ratty clothes but he much prefers a pair of old jeans to a new pair.
→ Dark eyes. It's a necromancer thing.
→ Wears a cloth pouch on a necklace sometimes. His mom made it for him to keep the ghosts and specters away from him so he wouldn't be discovered by people like Douglas Montgomery.
→ He smells like death (and blood) but that's only if you have a strong, powerful sniffer. To everyone else, he'll smell like a teenage boy.
→ He's a vegetarian so he won't be eating any meat or meat products.

Karla

Copy-pasta, yay!

--Most important: Karla is always wearing a long silver necklace with a tear-shaped Sapphire pendant. It's her Jewel and she is NEVER without it, even though it's usually tucked under her shirt. There's another, shorter loop of necklace with an hourglass pendant with the sand evenly divided between the top and bottom. It means she's a mostly-trained Black Widow. It's always there, except for the very few times the narrative specifies she's wearing a different necklace. In that case, she'll likely be wearing Sapphire earrings, or barrettes, or a ring.
--Has pale blonde hair. In the book it's short and spiky, but I've decided she's grown it out so as to not be so different from her PB. Besides, canon explicitly states she only cut it because she went home to Glacia and didn't want to seem overly feminine.
--Ice-blue eyes.
--About 5'5 and never felt short around other girls till she came here
--Very, very thin, often bordering on skinny. Small breasts ('lovely,' though also 'bee-stings'). Always looks like someone should be feeding her, even though she eats like a pubescent farmhand. Her weight can fluctuate in a matter of days, because of her sped-up metabolism.

--Slightly muscled from years of swimming and horseback riding (which is what usually keeps her from looking unhealthy-skinny). However, when she over-exerts herself magically, a lot of that tone and muscle gets stripped away (her body cannibalizes itself for energy). Then she really does start to look unhealthy-skinny to the point of skeletal. Right now, she's on the healthier side of her weight, but that's not going to last very long. *Checks calendar*
--Has a very pointy chin. And dimples. May use one or both as weapons.
--Unless the narrative says otherwise, she's not wearing makeup, no matter what the icon looks like, hair usually pulled back or down, barely styled. It's brushed, god, what more do you need?! But her nails are almost always painted (blue) so that no one can see the poisonous 'snake-tooth' that rests beneath her right hand ring-finger nail.
--Has a long, pink scar on her lower abdomen, courtesy of a nasty radscorpion attack. She didn't let it Heal perfectly as a reminder to not be stupid.

♥ Her hair is blonde and falls a few inches past her shoulders. She usually has at least part of it pulled back or up. It's dyed, and if you care enough you can probably tell.
♥ She has brown eyes.
♥ She's 5'6" or so and slender, but not in a way that's at all athletic. A softy. She can rock a girlfight if provoked, though.
♥ She dresses stylishly and expensively, and her clothes are usually a little flashy -- bare shoulders, bold colors, fur trim, big necklaces, manicures, bright red lipstick. Everything she owns is expensive.
♥ She's also just sort of a flashy, dramatic person. Speaks with italics, big bold gestures, all of that.
♥ Fairly naive and sweet, though it's easy to get distracted by the flash and not catch that part.
