meme: more than meets the eye

[thatwaslucky]

It's cold, I don't wanna work, and let's be real I haven't been around for like a year so I'm sure I'm missing stuff about people's characters. And the last time we did this was September of last year, so.

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!

Now gimme things to read while I'm avoiding being productive!

Norman Babcock

The newbie! The only one I have to write this from scratch with! Oh boy!

- Norman is fifteen years old, in spite of what any icons from his canon might look like. I'm going to try to fill out his icon roster with a PB, because pinging a teenager around with icons that make him look eleven kind of weirds me out, even though he's actually from a visual canon. I'm thinking Colin Morgan. His hair doesn't stick straight up, but he's definitely got the ears.
- ... Yeah, Norman has big, sticky-outy ears. His canon is full of lovingly rendered not-terribly-pretty people, and I love that so, so much about it.
- In spite of whatever icons he has, his brown hair is always, always sticking straight upwards. He's been trying to tame it since he was a kid. It's never going to behave for him.
- Blue! His eyes are blue! And his irises are actually kind of faceted- not actual circles, but octagonal shaped, like everyone in his family line who can speak to the dead.
- He carries himself in a sort of 'leave me alone' slouch, unless he feels really comfortable around people.
- He's also prone to staring off into space and having one-sided conversations with nobody in particular. Unless you're capable of seeing ghosts, too. In which case, hey, he's really friendly towards dead people. Or dead dogs. Or dead raccoons...
- He's probably got more horror comics in his backpack than actual school books.
