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!

I haven't done one of these in forever. I haven't done most things in forever.

-Does not look like this icon. If he looks like this icon run away. If he looks like this icon you are trapped inside an evil video game and things are Very Bad.
-Always wears the mask unless explicitly stated otherwise. He leaks glowy gold light otherwise and that's not great. He can take it off if he's prepared.
-Not entirely corporeal, hence the glowing, but that only really came up in canon the once when he survived a very painful execution. He got better. It's fine.
-Sounds Australian, because Farscape
-6 ft tall (had to look it up) but definitely has a tendency to try and look smaller when things aren't going well.
-Overall not a very large guy.
-His head is usually shaved. When it isn't his hair is reddish-gold.
-His one eye is blue, not always clear in icons.
-Can sing (Paul Goddard released an album several years ago. Claudia Black sang on one song.). Doesn't usually. Hums when he's nervous.
-Usually wears clothes in browns and blacks. Occasionally throws some blue in there to mix it up. Definitely an earth tones sort of person.
-Overtips service employees. Canonically.
-Currently probably looking haunted and nervous because whee, being re-traumatized.
-Very attuned to death/dying.
-Has bits of all the people he's ever crossed over in his head. Memories, voices, etc. Usually has a decent handle on this at this point. Maybe not so much right now.
-Definitely a little on the twitchy/fidgety side. Often fiddles with the buckle at his neck holding the mask in place.
-Doesn't like the cold because it reminds him of an ice planet where many things went horribly wrong.
-Doesn't particularly like extreme heat either because it reminds him of Scarrans and Scarrans are terrible.
