meme: more than meets the eye

We haven't done this one since March and we've got new kids (and old kids!) to talk about. Consider it a warm up for the wave of info posts that are coming.

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.

So wax poetic about what your characters look/sound like, if they have tics or scars, if they have a distinct singing voice, etc!

Jaina Solo

Ooh and I have updates, too.

-Barely 5'1" and overall tiny. Probably because the writers like the idea of the tiny girl killing multiple dudes at once.
-In really good shape. She's mostly muscle.
-Dark brown hair, which is currently just above her shoulders thanks to getting it burned off in the last catchup.
-Her preferred clothes are simple, just a shirt and pants or flightsuits. She tends not to wear her Jedi robes much in Fandom, due to the fact that she's had so many clothes ruined during invasions that it's just easier to throw away t-shirts when they're covered in zombie gook or whatever.
-Dresses to fit in with the locals when she can, so when she's on the mainland it's almost always jeans.
-No accent. Despite growing up on the same planet as Ben.
-Always has her lightsaber (purple!) on her, unless otherwise stated. If she can't wear it, it's hidden in her purse. (Yes she has a purse.)
-Has little faded scars over her back from voxyn venom, but they're only really noticeable if you're for some reason staring at her bare back. Also has a slightly more noticeable puncture wound on her forearm and a scar over her ribs.
-Updates on the scars front: there are burn scars on her back and shoulders that she'll be hiding till they fade more (yay for immediate treatment). The lightsaber scar down her stomach won't be going away (boo for immediate cauterization!).
-Doesn't actually have the dimples Sophia does.
-Brown eyes. One might call them brandy brown. Ad nauseum.
-Has her phone and comlink on her at all times unless stated.
-Is 32, but I actually tried doing the math and figured out that she's physically about two years younger than her numerical age. (I get bored at work, dude.)
-When she travels via portal, she always wears her gnome necklace she got for Christmas. Because she wants to send a MESSAGE.

Since this one hasn't been in this meme before:

  • Very pale, blonde hair (probably a little longer than his PB, it's always falling in his face), blue eyes, and around 5'6".
  • He's always described as kind of girly -- mostly by his little brother, and a bit delicate-looking.
  • Actually? Not that delicate.
  • His accent is Adrianglian. So uh, English. Ish. He lived in Georgia at one point, so there's hints of that too.
  • He dresses well and looooves fashion so if you need someone to do your character's hair or whatever, he is all over that. Though his thoughts on this might not quite meet up with the norm for the modern world...
  • If you have a sense for the magical (or just super smell), George probably has a whiff of zombie... But less gross than that sounds. Also lemons.

Stiles Stilinski

[personal profile] robinonadderall 2012-08-16 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
→ 5'11" 16 year old (17 in April) with shaved brown hair and brown eyes.
→ Dresses like your average teenage boy, lots of jeans, and t-shirts. Almost never without flannel and for some reason he owns a red track suit. The Red Riding Hood jokes write themselves!
→ Clumsy as all get out. He's constantly tripping and running into things. The boy fell out of his chair and landed on another dude for no other reason than zoning out.
→ Has a pretty serious case of ADHD and therefore is a bit of a spaz, constantly moving around, speaking fast and if a conversation bores him you'll know it.
→ On the rare occasion where he's calm and quiet it probably means he's actually truly upset about something.
→ Like Luke, his ADHD manifests itself into some extreme messiness. But unlike Luke, Stiles has more of an organized mess. He knows where everything is even if it looks like a hellhole in there.
→ Has a bit of an oral fixation. If it's long and phallic it'll probably go into his mouth. I'm not kidding.
→ Is a bit of a mouth breather, won't even lie. His mouth is hanging open in about half of his icons.
→ Right handed and his handwriting is very tiny. His classroom notes start out pretty well but by the end of the page sentences are half-written and when he goes back to study he'll have no idea what the notes meant.
→ Speaks with your average Californian accent. Think the general accent you hear on almost every American TV show.

Olive Penderghast

[identity profile] dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com 2012-08-16 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Whooo new kid!

* 17 years old, because she's kinda repeating senior year. Shh it's a secret.

* On the taller side of average (about 5'7") and all skinniness and limbs. Girl is gangly.

* Biiiig green eyes.

* Wavy auburn hair that falls just a little past her shoulders, and is generally worn down or in a ponytail.

* Pale and freckly. It goes well with the tall and gangly and ginger thing and makes us all imagine that in some world, Olive is supposed to be sort of awkward.

* Despite her icons, she generally does not dress in lingerie. I mean, she still has all that stuff, so if you're really good.... But yeah, generally more of a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.

* Has a low, throaty kind of voice, though not really a smokes-two-packs-a-day kind of deal so much as just naturally that way.

* Accent-wise, she's from Southern California, so nothing too exciting there.

* More on this in the infopost I'm probably cranking out later today/tonight, but her cell phone ringtone is "Pocket Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Beddingfield. Yes.

Jace Wayland

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-08-16 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
→ 5'11" 16 year old boy (17 in May).
→ Has curly blonde/golden/honey colored hair and brown/tawny/amber/syrup colored eyes. Blonde and brown are my descriptors, the others are Cassie Clare's. And he thinks because he and [livejournal.com profile] whenshewasnice have the same coloring he can easily convince people they're really related. Because he's annoying.
→ Jace's skin is covered in rune-shaped scars all over his body and a few of the darker ones are actually tattoos, the most noticeable being an eye-shaped one on the back of his left hand.
→ It's on his left hand because he's left handed, see. It's the mark every Shadowhunter gets on their dominant hand when they're twelve.
→ He also has a star shaped birthmark on his shoulder. This is important in canon later on, so I'm mentioning it now.
→ His face is constantly being described as beautiful/angular/angelic. Barf. The only flaw on his face (barf) is that he has a chipped incisor tooth.
→ Moves very gracefully like a trained fighter would. And he's very, very speedy. All due to the extra boost of angel blood in his veins.
→ He's more of a lean muscular than a built buff dude like my other blonde boys are.
→ Dressed very neatly and expensively and usually only wears white, black or gray. He also wears the Morganstern Wayland family ring on his left hand. It's silver with a W and stars engraved in it (he's wearing it upside down but he doesn't know that yet).
→ Will also be carrying a stele on him at all times. It's basically a glass wand. NO, CASSIE CLARE, YOU DIDN'T RE-USE YOUR HARRY POTTER FIC FOR THIS SERIES AT ALL, REALLY.
→ Has a general American accent but it actually sounds very crisp and high class. Like almost English but not quite there. He lived in a European country until he was 10 and they might make him English in the movie so this is my compromise.
→ Also his actual name isn't Jace. It's Jonathan Christopher. J-C = Jace. But it sounds like it rhymes with "mace" not Jay-Cee.
Very, very, very clean to the point of being compulsive about it. He will not only keep his room spotless but he will make your room spotless if you leave him alone in there. And, no, he won't ask before he does it (but I will OOCly of course).

Victor Mancha

[personal profile] ultron_junior 2012-08-16 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)

  • 5'9", 195 lb. (mostly due to the fact he has metal parts -- he's built pretty leanly), tan skin, dark brown hair with some wave to it, green eyes.
  • He's moving into a phase that will see him do stupid things with his hair. The everyday look is more like this.
  • He has pretty much Tyler Posey's speaking voice -- at least, they're both from Southern California, and I see no particular reason Vic wouldn't sound like his PB.
  • Dresses casually but not sloppily -- hoodies, layers, t-shirts, sneakers, lots of orange and red, sometimes beaded and leather bracelets as accessories. He likes to look nice, but doesn't really dress up.
  • Likes to wear his headphones around his neck far more often than he actually uses them. I don't know why either.
  • Cell phone ringtone used to be a Rick Jones song, though I think he probably got teased into changing it to something less dorky by now.
  • His age is complicated, since he was made in a lab to look like an adolescent just a few years ago. But in practical terms, he's 17.
  • Robot-type oddities:
    • He's probably not readable to psychics/empaths/ what have you. If you think your character is an exception for canon reasons, please check with me.
    • He has a faint electromagnetic field around him, and is mildly magnetic. Obviously he's not too magnetic or things would stick to him all the time, but there's a canon reference to sticking paperclips to his face while he sleeps.
    • When he's exhausted, he loses track of his static regulation and starts shooting sparks when he talks.
    • It's likely his heartbeat and breathing sound slightly different from standard human, should your senses be attuned to such.
    • He has an access portal near the crook of one elbow. It's not clear what it is unless he tells you or is using it -- basically it looks like a fold in his skin most of the time, from what I can tell.

I've got time to do one of these before I leave for work, and Arietty hasn't done one yet, so:
  • is tiny. No seriously, we're talking about four inches tall, here.
  • Has brown hair and enormous gray eyes (proportionately speaking)
  • Speaks with a non-posh London accent. (I'd narrow it down more, but I don't actually know enough about English accents to do so.)
  • Her clothes are most likely repurposed doll clothing, so they can tend towards the old fashioned or the Barbie-esque. They pretty much all have out-of-proportion zippers an snaps on them. If asked, she'll probably tell you it's Borrower couture.
  • Can now frequently be seen (if seen at all) riding Eggletina, her pet fancy rat
  • Is also usually carrying a GI-Joe-ish backpack, loaded to bear with borrowing supplies like birthday candles, floss, tiny suction cups, and her trusty tiny dart gun.
  • Still needs to get herself a car, yo.

-Brown hair, which is sometimes curly and mostly worn down.
-Brown eyes.
-5'6", and slender. She's built like a dancer, really.
-19 years old and looks it.
-Is nearsighted and wears glasses sometimes.
-She's from Chicago, so if she has an accent at all it probably shows up in flat vowels here and there.
-Her natural state is intangible, and she's solid basically through sheer force of will. My personal rule is, if you're trying to hurt her, she's not getting hit, but if you're not, it's fine to feel her. She doesn't appear any different between the two states, though.
-Kitty's a pretty casual dresser, big on jeans and t-shirts/sweaters/tank tops on a normal day.
-Sometimes wears a Star of David necklace.
-I am not kidding about her work outfits. She's not always dressed exactly like that, but black and awesome-yet-practical boots are a mainstay, and leather pants, short skirts, and midriff do make appearances.
-According to some panels there may be a navel ring*. I'm still deciding if she has that here. Do kids still do that these days?


[*This is also the exact same comic that once sent her out into public in what appears to be her bra. Yes, of course guys are checking you out, Kitty, you forgot to get dressed.]

→ 5'6" 15 year old (16 in September).
→ Has blonde hair and blue eyes.
→ He's very short, yes, but he's pretty well built for a guy his size.
→ He's very strong from lifting those bags of flour around.
→ Wrestles pretty well too.
→ Has rough looking hands (they got burnt a lot at the bakery) but he's a very good artist.
→ Right handed and has very swirly feminine handwriting. Cake frosting handwriting.
→ Not the most coordinated human being on earth. Tends to make a ton of noise when he walks. Or at least Katniss says he does. Just wait until the racket after he loses his leg.
→ Dresses like he's from the 1930's. Why? I don't know, that was what they all looked like to me in the movie. Most of his clothes also have holes in them and look well worn. He should probably go shopping at some point.
→ Almost always looks cheerful and approachable, even when he's not in a good mood. I guess it's because he's so wee and hobbity.
→ Speaks with a slight Southern accent that's more twangy than a drawl. District 12 is supposedly near West Virginia and believe me when I say I know what I'm talking about when it comes to a West Virginia accent. His accent wouldn't be that bad compared to, say, Katniss because he's from the merchant class of District 12.

  • Is of... well, average height, really. The game likes to keep characters roughly of the same height unless they're volus, oh, Bioware.
  • Her skin might look like it's human skin - albeit blue - from far away, but up close you can tell it's oddly scaly in texture. (There's a running theory that asari are descended from alien dolphins...)
  • Has a cartilage crest on her head in lieu of hair. It curves backwards. It does not, however, move. She also has no visible ears, and a smattering of lighter-blue skin along her hairline.
  • She doesn't have eyebrows - that's just melanin under her skin above her eyes that happens to look like eyebrows from afar (yeeep) when it's basically just a birthmark.
  • She's not clumsy, but she's awkward as all hell, and will frequently babble all over herself, apologize, and swing back and forth between formal-distant and OMG CONTRACTIONS TALKING FAST. (Well, not fast, really.) Usually she uses contractions when she's feeling more comfortable.
  • Has a kind of dreamy but not particularly low female voice-- basically she sounds like this.
  • Doesn't look particularly athletic, though she's slim, but when she uses biotics she can still throw you across the room. If she's using biotics, about to use them, or has just used them, she will also emit a bright blue glow like so.
  • She dresses quasi-conservatively in the style of her home, except whoops she only has the one outfit. She's since moved on to buying a yellow sundress and probably even more of its ilk, leaning more towards the feminine, but she's not about to go around showing off lots of cleavage.
  • She's a terrible, terrible liar.
  • She also has a terrible sense of priorities (interesting things to study vs. ... everything else) which may play up a bit more now that she's more settled here.
  • I feel like I should reiterate that she's blue.

-- 17, 5'7", skinny.
-- Has brown eyes, and straight, light blonde hair down past the middle of her back, usually worn in a ponytail, with bangs almost but not quite hanging over her eyes.
-- Yes, kind of does look like [livejournal.com profile] liarallmyown's sister.
-- Is eventually going to grow up to be The Perfect Woman (canon says so in those exact words), so she has that going for her, lookswise.
-- At this point in time, though, she's pretty, but not really into making that obvious, so she looks a little mousy.
-- Doesn't wear makeup, or too many accessories.
-- Wears comfortable clothes: baggy t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, flat shoes, all in muted colours.
-- Apparently doesn't have to blink as much as an average person; these days uses that to observe people closely rather than to give them an ice queen stare.
-- Is generally pretty reserved and introverted, without being shy. She just doesn't feel like smiling at everyone.
-- Has a very good hold on her emotions, and will most of the time let you see only what she wants you to see.
-- The above goes for her voice, too: she sounds neutral and mild a lot of the time, bordering on disinterested.
-- Sounds more or less like this, give or take a few 'eh?'s and a flat tone.
(-- Will eventually sound like this, but that'll be a conscious choice.)

Watch me edit this well after anyone might still be checking out this post, la...


  • Is of taller than average height, but that's about all I can figure out. Taller than Shepard, anyway, who is roughly as tall as Liara is.
  • Most people in his time are mixed-race; he's got a lot of Latino in him via Brazil, and he's probably got a bunch of other stuff in there too.
  • Has a voice... like Raphael Sbarge, pretty much. It's a very distinct, smokey drawl, okay? There's a reason why everyone who hated Sbarge's character in Knights of the Old Republic nearly leaped out of their seat the first time Kaidan opened his mouth.
  • Looks... not quite as muscle-y as the icons let on. Yet. He's still in his slimmer-but-still-muscled phase, though he'll be bulking up over time.
  • Has a bunch of small scars all over his body, including on his arms and across his lips. You'll only notice those if you look closely, though.
  • Usually spotted wearing an Alliance uniform or Alliance casuals, or at the very least something with a Systems Alliance brand on there somewhere. He probably has some other stuff tucked away, but he's on-island as a representative, and he wants to look the part.
  • Will wear a sleek black suit of armor into battle with a visible mass effect generator on the back where he keeps all his weapons.
  • Like Liara, glows blue before, during, and after the use of his biotics.
  • Unlike Liara, he has a biotics implant plugged into his spine right under his skull. It helps him control his biotics. However, it's an L2, an old model, which causes a range of neurological problems. Kaidan's lucky - he just gets debilitating migraines from time to time.
  • He's an absolute tech nerd who will at all times have an Omni-Tool on him. It's usually turned off or running in the background, though, and it's only visible when it's activated and he's working with it.
  • His ass has a Tumblr dedicated to it. I'm just saying.

-About 5'5" and yes, pretty much done growing.
-Has long brown hair with a white streak right up at the front of her hairline. She usually either leaves her hair down or pulls it half back.
-Brown eyes.
-Dresses in the style from back home, which is pretty nice stuff, usually loose and easy to move in.
-Has a lightsaber (silver!) on her at all times unless otherwise stated, but she usually tends to conceal it.
-It's probably impossible to shake the poise off of her. I'd say she carries herself like Leia talking to Tarkin.
-That's also how I imagine her speech patterns, minus the quasi-British accent.
-No discernible accent.
-Isn't a big smiler. She will do it, but it's not an automatic reaction to most things.
-She has a great glare, though.

- About six feet and 180 pounds
- Red hair and what used to be blue eyes. Artists sometimes use creepy white orbs instead of blue. Which doesn't matter because...
- Matt is always wearing sunglasses. Even at Night. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2LTL8KgKv8)
- He's typically dressed in jeans and t-shirts which have probably seen better days and were possibly purchased at a thrift store.

- Speaks in an unaffected-sounding deadpan like so (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDY0KtBcuVI).

- Speaks fluent Spanish.
- Has a Midwestern accent (Indiana, to be specific) and has the dialect to match (like she says pop instead of soda, etc. I do not always remember this).
- Has the messiest apartment ever. Really.
- Is insanely good at staring. (She can win a staring contest against a cat, you guys.)
- Has some pretty terrible posture.
- Can move really quickly and is also kind of super-flexible.
- Spends more time on her hair than she cares to admit, tyvm.

- Is a 17 year old junior and won't look as rough as some of his comic icons have him appearing.
- Will have the terrible goatee.
- And multiple earrings in his ears.
- And tattoos on his arm that look like this (http://edandmari.com/starwars/images/CadeSkywalker.jpg).
- Has blond, curly, Anakin-mullet-y blond hair and bright green eyes.
- He's still growing, but he'll hit more Anakin's height than Luke's, so let's say he's 5'11" and going up a few more inches.
- Wears tight black pants and shirts without sleeves. If it's cold or he's feeling like a badass, he rocks an Angel-style duster.
- Is in a comic, so my best guess on accent is "generic American-y", but he will lace it with ridiculous amounts of Huttese curses. I apologize now.

-Blonde, though she stopped perming her hair when that went out of style. She does style it, though, so it looks different all the time. One day I swear she will hit up the hair dye.
-Blue eyes.
-She's supposed to be tall, so I'm saying she's 5'6" now with an inch or two to go.
-She also works the heels a lot.
-Almost too thin thanks to a very strict diet.
-Is a fashionable dresser (with a side of occasional wtf) for 15, which I take to mean she shops at Forever 21 a lot.
-Accessorizes a lot, too. Which is really probably where most of the wtfy stuff comes in.
-Also there's no guarantee she'll match. (The most clashy outfit I ever saw in the BSC books did not come from Claudia, let's put it that way.)
-Has pierced ears! Apparently that is a big deal.

-Tall, say about 5'9" and done growing.
-Skinny. One might even say bony.
-Pretty, if a little off-looking. It's the stern, intimidation thing.
-Has pure white hair with a black streak running through it. Its normal state resembles that of someone having suffered an electrical shock. Sometimes it moves on its own, and styles itself as appropriate.
-Has a birthmark on her cheek of three pale lines, which you usually only see when she's angry or embarrassed.
-Doesn't smile much at all.
-Tends to make people feel like they're being judged when she looks at them. This may be because she is totally judging them.
-Is described as moving like a tiger.
-Tends to dress very properly, with everything covered up that's supposed to be. Also likes black.
-The dress she wears when she's Deathing it up is black and lacy.
-British accent. I'm not even gonna try to say it's something Discworldian.

I was gonna wait till I got home to tackle this purple-prosed train wreck but I'd rather punch myself repeatedly in the face than look at my work right now.

So. Alec Lightwood:

- Has black hair (that's right, and YOU thought it was brown) and blue eyes the color of the East River after a storm (which is blue, by the way. Not gray, like the East River with which I am familiar). His eyebrows are "slender" and "wing up at the corners," and he has killer cheekbones.
- Is pretty tall. Taller than Jace's 5'11", but other than that idk. Tall.
- Doesn't look as muscular as he actually is, because...
- He wears ratty sweaters and loose-ish jeans pretty much all the time. Worst rich kid ever.
- Speaks in a New York accent, which I have yet to be convinced is an actual thing, and I imagine his tone in particular to be pretty flat and calm most of the time.
- Has runes and scars all over his body, including an eye-shaped one on his hand and a whole bunch of others I don't actually feel like digging up at work.
- Carries a glass stele, yeah.
- Is fast and graceful because he's all superpowered and evolved, you guys.
- I imagine that he talks into his lap a lot rather than meet people's eyes, idk.
- Has lots of callouses from being a badass archer type, haaaay.

For the week (sob) he's still here, but there's new stuff!

--Reddish hair (despite icons that show him as a blond) that is almost always in need of a haircut.
--Blue eyes (same shade as Luke's and Anakin's, yay for family resemblance).
--5'10". I DON'T CARE WHAT CANON SAYS. HE WILL NOT BE RANDOMLY SHRINKING LIKE JAG DOES. Is bitter he will be shorter than Ender FOREVER.
--Random-ass British Coruscanti accent. Despite growing up on the same planet Jaina did.
--18 years old and even with the obsessive ice cream eating has a ridiculous metabolism and works out obsessively (running, weights, sit-ups) so he's on the more-muscled-than-he-looks side.
--Unless noted, is always in a simple black flightsuit. He left his Jedi robes back on Coruscant.
--He's also no longer wearing a lightsaber: he left that in the floor of the Jedi Council Room last week.
--There's a reason he doesn't take his shirt off readily, other than being extremely pale thanks to his mom's genes: he has a lightsaber scar that goes from his shoulder blades to his waist (thank you, evil!Tahiri), numerous smaller scars from being tortured via Embrace of Pain, and an interrogator droid. He also has a lovely set of claw marks across his chest and shoulder thanks to fighting dinosaurs, and big new mark from someone sticking the Sith equivalent of a dagger into his leg.
--Will not be growing facial hair. EVER.

-Long, straight brown hair down the middle of her back, more often than not worn down.
-Really blue eyes.
-While she often looks bored, she has the most expressive face ever. She deserves an award.
-5'3"? I'm waiting for Kry to get back to me on this. Shut up.
-Unless otherwise stated, has her purse with her. It's a large one, in which she carries an orange smoosh-faced wax lion.
-Is not the world's best dresser. Her style is not like most people's. Her coats are big and possibly furry, she wears colored tights, the shirt she is wearing in this icon has cutouts...
-Because this came up once forever ago, she actually does wear things like skirts.
-Possibly overaccessorizes. She's usually wearing several necklaces at once, for instance.
-One of those is totally the Seahorse necklace Alec gave the cabin members. Because shut up, that's why.
-Has an impeccable American accent, by the way.

-Has shoulder-length brown hair, and she almost always pulls her bangs back and leaves the rest down.
-Also has huge blue eyes. Like, Precious Moments eyes.
-Is about average height. I think 5'6"?
-Doesn't show off her boobs hardly at all, but somehow they're really noticeable. Seriously, it's like she walks with her chest.
-To be fair, though, she does have a pretty nice rack. I mean, a monkey gets named after those things.
-Is cheerful and often smiling.
-Tends to wear things like cardigans and skirts, and likes the bright colors. Seriously, it's rare to see her in something dark.
-Totally carries a backpack to class.

- Is 5'11" and has green eyes and blond hair.
- Is really skinny -- more so than his PB Fran Kranz, who's actually got a bit of muscle on him.
- Has a tattoo of possibly meta for NCC-1701 on his left ankle, which is the ship from Galaxy Quest. Blame Kenzi.
- Wears a bracelet on his left wrist that says "Kill your idols."
- Wears sweater vests. Lots of sweater vests. Also, khakis and Converse.
- Has a kind of shrill-ish, nasaly kind of voice, audible here. California accent.
- Is incredibly flaily, what with the ADHD, and gestures a ton when he talks.
- Has magical hair that confounded the Auditors by standing straight up. It does this. He'll never tell how he gets it like that, though I credit sculpting spray. Oh, Topher.
- Is kind of really anal about germs, so he always has clean hands.
- Used to be really weird about touching people, but now he's simmering down with that.

  • Evens out at a simple 6 feet or so. Not overly tall, not overly small.
  • Looooves his fingerless gloves and his physics-defying jacket. Otherwise, he dresses like kind of a hoodlum, but a Star Wars-y one.
  • Usually has a blaster on him... somewhere... when he's off campus. And a fanny pack. Which is just a bag, god, and the belt holds a holster for his gun, so shut up.
  • Is really really hard to read for telepaths and empaths. The former will just catch him playing card games in his head, or focusing on pointless details like the amount of times a rickshaw drives over that piece of pavement outside or how many times a bird calls... The latter will generally just pick up base emotions from him: lust, anger, and so forth.
  • Has a generic-y American accent as common to large parts of the GFFA (though people have theorized that like Han Solo, he's from Corellia. Not that it matters. Atton will always shoot first.) He speaks with a bit of a drawl sometimes, though.
  • Has a whole bunch of scars on his body including a few that might have been caused by a lightsaber, but none of them are huge enough to call attention to themselves, and no, he's not going to tell you about them.
  • Sprawls. A lot. On all kinds of things.
  • Probably smells like booze half the time.

-- 16, 5'9", 115 lbs. (Thanks, internet!)
-- Blue-eyed with long blonde hair.
-- Dresses like some kind of a beach hippie chick, with lots of colors and prints and bare midriffs and bandannas.
-- Smiles a lot, though she's a little bit shy and awkward.
-- Sounds Californian, with this voice.
-- Wears a MedAlert bracelet which is actually inhibiting her powers.
-- Not actually human: though born and raised in LA, she'd genetically an alien from Majesdane.
-- In her alien form, she looks otherwise the same, except her skin and hair shine in all the pastel hues of the rainbow.

Daenerys Targaryen

POST THIEF. Also OMG HI GUYS I AM ONLINE. Not in my own home, of course, because that would be reasonable, BUT I'M ONLINE.

Anyway.

  • Is a very, very old fifteen (sixteen in October.) You try being married at thirteen and pregnant by fourteen. It gives you a little bit of an oldness.
  • Has long, long silver-blonde hair, usually either down with a few little braids keeping it off her face, or braided back entirely, per the icons. (Though usually she doesn't look quite as ...rough (http://www.spoilertv.co.uk/images/cache/game-of-thrones/season-2/Cast%20Promotional%20Photos/Daenerys-Targaryen-Emilia-Clarke-Paul-Schiraldi%5B1%5D_FULL.jpg) as she does in some.)
  • Large green eyes -- no, we're not going with what's in the books, wtf purple.
  • Speaks with a Westerosi English accent, though she's bilingual and will swear or use expressions in Dothraki sometimes.
  • Generally wears long, loose-flowing silk gowns (http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31100000/Daenerys-Targaryen-Season-EW-Promo-daenerys-targaryen-31154790-400-610.jpg), or leather pants/bloused men's tunics/woven halter top/tube top things (http://starcasm.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Khaleesi_Daenerys_Targaryen.jpg). It depends on how cold it is/how fancy she's being. Oh, and sometimes she'll just wear boob armor (http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2012/06/Daenerys.jpg) over a dress.
  • Has almost nothing in the way of modesty -- half the time in the series, her midriff is showing, the other half, her nipples are. She really doesn't get why everyone here is so obsessed with covering up as much as they are.
  • 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.
  • Has a generally soft (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CFJDHE637w), but commanding voice. (Link's a little NWS, for language and mild violence, but only once you get a minute or so into it.)
  • Slender, with slightly emphasized hips and bust.
  • Speaks and writes in both English the Common Tongue and Dothraki.
  • She's usually with her three dragons if she's outside of the dorms unless otherwise specified. They're all about the size of labradors at this point, and yes, they're sleeping in the stables when she gets back. Aaaand, yes, the breakdown of dragon colors:
    • Drogon: Black and red
    • Viserion: Cream and gold
    • Rhaegal: Green and gold
  • solo_sword: (amused)

    -- 16, 5' 10½", buff like a jock.
    -- Green-eyed with fairly short dark blonde hair.
    -- Looks and dresses like an Abercrombie & Fitch model.
    -- Obviously comes from wealth, and carries himself with great confidence, like he owns wherever he happens to be.
    -- Will be coming in with scabbed over but not entirely healed puncture wounds from werewolf claws in the back of his neck; feel free to notice.
    -- Sounds exactly like this.
