meme: more than meets the eye

[seriesofbaddecisions]

It's a slow work day and I've spent the last like hour and a half trying to decide between memes and here's one we haven't done since last September that might be helpful for people, and new characters can ping in too!


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!

- Is 50 but looks at least 10 years younger. Radchaai healthcare.
- People will notice she's male, but her body language etc doesn't conform to masculine norms and she comes across as androgynous. That's a bit hard to communicate with icons.
- Dark skin, brown eyes, short black hair. I'd love for her to get a cooler hairstyle, but the PB prefers very short hair.
- I'm going with the PB's height which is 180 cm.
- Is described as very attractive in canon.
- Canon repeatedly makes clear that her accent gives away that she's very upper class, and that she sounds like she's from an historical drama. This is by Radchaai standards of course, but I think at least the upper class part should translate to Fandom. In my head she sounds very much like the way Adjoa Andoh reads her in the audio books, which is British, although Ann Leckie, the writer, is American. Sadly I haven't found a link to that.
- Since she started going shopping with Lucifer she dresses really well, in styles ranging from masculine to feminine, always nicely fitting.
- I guess everyone knows this by now but she always wears gloves.
