Meme: More Than Meets the Eye

We haven't done this since August and I'm curious about other people's characters since details like this often slip by the wayside after you've been IG forever.

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'm personally especially curious about how characters sound. I've been floored by "oh man, their voice is way deeper than I thought" when getting into your canons sometimes.
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - talking up at you)

Annie January

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2021-04-07 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
  • 23 years old, 5’6” and roughly 110 pounds (thanks, canon audition tape!)
  • thus, she is very slim and small-busted - while she’s athletic, her build is much more “runner” than “weight-lifter.”
  • blonde hair that goes a couple inches past her shoulders, and for the most part, you can assume it’s up in a ponytail or a messy bun
  • brown eyes
  • very minimal makeup if any at all, most days - every now and then she seems to wear some neutral eyeshadow, but otherwise her look is very “no-makeup makeup” (which just makes me hate her more for how damn pretty Erin Moriarty is.)
  • always has her nails done, though she sticks to very discreet, pale pink/clear polish and keeps her nails pretty short.
  • I think I've established she wears perfume - probably something light and inexpensive by like, Clinique or Marc Jacobs or something.
  • Annie’s pretty WYSIWYG in terms of the clothes you see in her icons: skinny jeans, low-top sneakers, hoodies and cute jackets over T-shirts are her typical look. (She incidentally seems to like stripes a lot.)
  • notably, though, she is very very modest (which makes it a real bitch to fake-shop for her, let me tell you) and thus generally her necklines don’t go much lower than her collarbones, most of the time, and if she wears a skirt, it’s probably closer to knee-length than not.
  • if you catch her in workout gear, it is almost certainly white or in pastel colors. That’s how I know Annie really is the bravest girl in all the land: she works out in white leggings.
  • she also wears a fair amount of jewelry (always, always gold.) She has three holes in either earlobe, and tends to wear hoops with two studs, as well as a cartilage piercing in her left ear. She also wears up to four slim, gold rings at a time, usually 1-2 on either hand, and she wears the gold necklace pictured here pretty much all the time, as well.
  • sometimes she wears a little gold cross necklace, too.
  • if she uses her powers, her eyes light up yellow for the duration. This goes for if she’s blasting someone, or if she’s just showing off a glowy palm to demonstrate, or if she’s using her hands as flashlights.
  • her eyes give off a weird sound, if it’s quiet enough to hear - I tend to describe it as ‘shimmery,’ but there’s a sort of buzzy quality to it, too, like she's emitting an electrical charge.
  • she has a fairly low speaking voice as you can tell from that audition tape link, and she can sing! (I will never, ever turn down an opportunity to share this awful song. You guys, it’s about an invisible superhero. GET IT?)
  • as Starlight, she looks a bit different - her hair is down and curled, her makeup is done, and she wears a white skater dress with a tulle underskirt, sparkly semi-sheer tights, gold boots, gold gauntlets, a white headband and a white fencer’s cape with tiny little gold starbursts on it.
  • within the next month or so, her Starlight outfit will temporarily be replaced with a white, skintight bodysuit with gold accents, a zipper (with a star-shaped zipper pull) down the front between her breasts, thigh-high gold stiletto boots, and elbow-length gold gloves that feature star-shaped cutouts on the palms. (I actually really like her gloves on the new outfit; the rest is...not great.) She also will start wearing a wig and a lot more makeup.
  • Starlight’s blasts look like gold flashes of light, but they make an accompanying sort of whump sound. (IDK, I can never describe this well so like here is an example of her fighting someone in slow motion, kinda!)

    -20 years old.
    -She's spent most of her life in the sun but with mostly appropriate protection, so she's tan with freckles over her face.
    -Does wear a tiny, tiny amount of makeup now. Probably not enough to be noticed unless you're looking.
    -5'7" and thin and wiry. There's not a lot to her but she's also spent most of her life lifting ship parts so she's deceptively strong.
    -She's also very active and moves easily, with a habit of literally popping back up if she gets knocked down. Will absolutely scale anything at a moment's notice.
    -Will still do her hair up in three buns at the back of her head, but right now she's just as likely to wear it half down. As she's getting more comfortable, you miiiiiight see her with it down once in a great while. Hi I have opinions about the use of her hair.
    -Is ambidextrous. She's left-handed but can fight and shoot with her right hand just as easily.
    -Tends towards neutral colors and practical, comfortable clothing for the setting. If it's cooler you're seeing her in something more like her Ahch-To outfit, if it's warmer then it's more like the throne room outfit. There's a real Jedi influence on her clothes at this point, and while she has some Earth-bought clothes she doesn't branch out much.
    -Tends to wear wrappings to cover her arms, or at least a leather cuff on her upper arm to cover a horizontal scar.
    -Often carries a staff on her back if she thinks she'll need it. If there's a fight, she absolutely has it.
    -Does have a lightsaber, which she wears on her belt unless otherwise specified.
    -Sounds incredibly British. (Is, of course, not.)

    [personal profile] seriesofbaddecisions 2021-04-07 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
    -17 years old.
    -Very colorful and definitely stands out.
    -Her hair is always short (easier with a helmet), and naturally dark brown but she dyes it pretty frequently.
    -Big change: she actually looks like her orange hair icons now! Her hair is currently orange with blue at the back, and the outfit in the icons is what you're going to get most of the time.
    -Would easily pass for an Asian-American girl from Earth.
    -Wears a little bit of makeup, but keeps it pretty neutral.
    -Is probably about average height for her age and will grow some. Also built like a stick figure. There's nothing to her.
    -Unless otherwise stated, is always wearing her armor minus the helmet. I'll also say when she's carrying it around.
    -Her armor is 500 years old and is heavily modified, so it's not a big clunky suit. She kept the collar armor, breastplate, ankle plates, and knee, elbow and shoulder pads. They attach to a black body glove that she wears with pants.
    -Also wears black boots and gloves that are covered in paint splatter.
    -Is wearing weapons anywhere she is allowed to wear weapons. She carries two blaster pistols in a holster and they are also painted.
    -Also probably has some kind of explosive on her, though at school be in the dorms it's something non-destructive, like paint or glitter.
    -Also has something to paint with on her person at all times.
    -Her body language is that of someone who's deliberately closing people off. She rarely shows her teeth when she smiles and she crosses her arms a lot.
    -If she's on the mainland, she will leave her armor behind in favor of clothing that will blend in. Well, mostly- it's all still pretty colorful.

    Diego Hargreeves

    [personal profile] knife_bender 2021-04-07 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)

    • Turning 30 on October 1st.

    • 5'10" with an athletic build. I am worried Aiden Gallagher is going to outgrow him. Humiliating.

    • Unlike his blonde haired, one eyed comic counterpart, Diego has brown hair and brown eyes (both of them in tact for now). Right now his hair is pretty short but that will change.

    • Large scar on the side of his head and one above his eyebrow that we have no background about yet.

    • Like all of his siblings (sans Vanya), he has a tattoo of an umbrella with a circle around it on his left forearm

    • Wears black all of the time, MAYBE a dark blue occasionally. It will take a trip to 1963 before he voluntarily starts to wear colors

    • Typically wears tactical gear. It's less intricate on the island, but it can get pretty damn elaborate with the straps and the bracers and such.

    • And while doing official vigilante business he will be wearing a Barry-made domino mask that Annie gifted him.

    • Has a pretty deep voice but not Batman deep like my other guy.

    • Has no right to be as graceful as he is.

    Faye Valentine

    [personal profile] flourish_or_perish 2021-04-07 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
  • 23 years old by all appearances
  • 5’7”, apparently, though she looks a lot taller than that to me in canon (but what do I know, I’m short and Faye is a cartoon)
  • very slim and curvy. Like I don't even know how this woman finds clothes that fit.
  • dark violet hair in an angled, nearly-shoulder-length bob
  • big green eyes
  • no seriously her legs are like 85% of her body, that’s why I figured she’s taller than 5’7”
  • also I’m gonna say she’s got bras filed under ‘optional.’
  • dresses like this in canon, but every time we see her in an alternate outfit it’s pretty revealing, so just assume that she’s usually showing off either boobs or legs or both.
  • probably smells like cigarettes, because she smokes a lot
  • sounds like this, at least in the English dub.
  • is very much a girly girl and into primping herself, so she has her nails done, her hair probably smells good (if you can get through the smoke smell), probably has very soft skin....

    [personal profile] throughaphase 2021-04-07 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    -28 years old. How did that happen.
    -Brown hair, which is naturally pretty curly. She straightens it when she can because it's easier to manage all day that way, and usually wears it down or in a ponytail.
    -Brown/hazel eyes. It's one of the two.
    -5'6", with a dancer's build and unlike a lot of comics characters from the 80's, actually has a normally-proportioned body. She's little, but realistically so.
    -Is nearsighted and wears glasses sometimes, for reading and detail work mostly.
    -She's from Chicago but has lived in other places for years, 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 probably not getting hit (tbh it's funnier), but if you're not, it's fine to touch her. She doesn't appear any different between the two states.
    -Pretty casual dresser, big on jeans and t-shirts. Xplain the X-Men said she seemed like that kid who was way into fashion and then grew up and just wore sweats all the time because she couldn't be bothered and that seems about right.
    -When she really tries to put together an outfit it might be a bit of a disaster.
    -Sometimes wears a Star of David necklace.
    -Used to have both a navel ring and a few piercings in each ear, but those got healed up after dying and being made whole again. Now she's got two holes in each ear.
    -Wears her wedding and engagement rings on her left hand.

    -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 one of the most expressive faces ever. You can look at her face and know exactly what she's thinking.
    -5'3". (This is the first time I've ever not messaged Kry to check on the answer to this.)
    -Usually 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, some shirts have weird 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. She still wears her Seahorse necklace sometimes.

    -17 years old.
    -British accent.
    -Gives off a general defensive "I hate you and I hate your mom" vibe even if you've never talked to her.
    -Yes, yes, she looks like Harley Quinn right now. Her natural brown hair is bleached blonde and the ends are dyed pink. She doesn't bother covering her roots.
    -Brown eyes.
    -Has a nose ring. It's concerningly large.
    -A lot of eyeliner.
    -So much jewelry. Usually a lot of bracelets and layered necklaces.
    -Bites her nails as a compulsive nervous habit, so while her nails are almost always painted they're also usually chipped.
    -Has a goth/grunge thing going on. She wears a lot of black, short skirts with fishnets, and the occasional flannel. She'll also be seen a lot either in a black leather jacket or a fringed suede-looking one.
    -Has three tattoos that I've found, all on her fingers: three black horizontal lines on one middle finger and a heart on her index finger, and a vertical line down the middle finger on her other hand.

    • Mid-thirties, blond hair, blue eyes, eternal 5-o'clock shadow.
    • Yes, does actually walk with a swagger.
    • We'll go with his live-action actor's stats: 5' 11" and has more muscle under that coat than you realize. He's pretty fit for being an utter mess of a human being. Think bar brawler build, rather than superhero.
    • Canonically does naked yoga on a regular basis.
    • Usually in a brown trench coat, white button-down shirt, slacks, watch on his right wrist, and a very loose approximation of a tie.
    • ALWAYS has a pack of smokes on him. Will often fiddle with an unlit cigarette when he's somewhere he can't smoke. And a flask, lighter, his business cards, sunglasses, and something utterly weird and random that you don't know WHY the hell he's carrying that around.
    • Covered in various magical tattoos; they're spells he can use himself, various protection inscriptions, and sometimes he can even transfer them to other people. Please don't read the Latin out-loud.
    • Ridiculous amount of scars, but so far his pretty pretty face has been spared.
    • Absolutely pansexual, and yes, IS flirting with you.
    • Can actually sing! Used to front a halfway decent punk band, and has callouses on his hands from guitar, too.
    • Sometimes his eyes light up when doing magic, it depends on the spell. Usually orange-ish, sometimes white, red, or black.
    • It's Con-stan-teen.
    • Sounds and flirts like this.
    heroic_jawline: (neu: suited up)

    Steve Rogers

    [personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-04-07 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
    -Born in 1918. His trip through MCU canon is currently somewhere in 2015, so Steve is 97 and also 31-ish.
    -He's 6'2" with blond hair and blue eyes (with a little bit of green in them. Zemo, you weirdo, how closely were you looking at those pictures.) Thanks to the super-serum, he is also strong enough to throw a motorcycle and then lap you a couple times around the island during his daily morning runs.
    -Carries himself like a soldier. Has posture that makes you want to sit up straighter.
    -Has a fairly generic American accent, though he gets a little Boston Brooklyn when he's feeling vulnerable. He also can put on some fake-heartiness when he's being Captain America, as evidenced in these PSAs.
    -Tony has been steadily "losing" Steve's pleated khakis and plaid shirts, so Steve's generally in jeans (or nice pants, if he's teaching). His shirts are always a half-size too tight. If he's in his dress uniform, he has enough medals on it to be extremely daunting to anyone who knows how to read them.
    -In the Captain America uniform (He's now in the Age of Ultron version but he still has his dark blue one for stealthy missions), he's got a dark blue helmet, extremely shielded but easy-to-move in (thanks, Tony) jumpsuit, and the absolutely iconic shield that he throws around like someone who absolutely nailed it in trig.
    -Because he's so good at the angles, maybe never let him try to play pool with you for money.
    -Wears a wedding band on his left hand.

    - 28 years old
    - Typical American accent with so many obscenities sprinkled in. One day Steve Rogers needs to remind him to watch his language.
    - 5'7" so he's not what you'd call tall. Nobody's really looking up to him.
    - He is actually quite muscular and trim thanks to a vegan diet and an exercise regimen that no one will ever see because I don't really post that kind of thing.
    - You won't see anything muscular as he's usually in jeans and loose t-shirts
    - Smells like a chemistry lab after a bad day of teenagers not paying attention and losing their eyebrows.
    - Blue eyes, light brown hair despite the Peeta icons I was horrible at turning brown.
    - Will actually wear a suit if someone reminds him that something formal would socially required.

    Lucifer Morningstar

    [personal profile] my_own_advocate 2021-04-07 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    - is tall, standing at 1.91 meters or 6'3''. has broad shoulders and a ton of muscle on accounts of his actor randomly getting into bodybuilding halfway into the show, but you often can't tell unless he's naked because he
    - always wears expensive, well-tailored suits (no ties) with matching pocket squares, unless otherwise indicated by the narrative.
    - 'reflects humans' desires back at them', per canon, which mostly just means 'people are more than usually inclined to think he's attractive' on top of, y'know, Tom Ellis's general pre-existing level of attractive.
    - often wears eyeliner.
    - has permanent and well-manscaped stubble. His hair is curly in its natural state but he keeps it smooth and full of product.
    - generally seems like a guy who ping-pongs between being restrained and yet also having way too much restless energy.
    - has a nice, smooth baritone when he sings.
    - his voice is roughly what you get with a Welsh actor who seems perpetually torn between doing a genuine English accent and doing the American Standard Posh British Accent.
    - Tom Ellis also does a hilariously bad American accent when playing Lucifer's twin brother Michael but that's not really relevant to FH, just funny.
    - his eyes flash red if he's particularly angry about something. He also has a devil face and devil form that look a lot more like your traditional red, bat-winged Devil (no horns, though)
    - is an angel and remanifested his beautiful white wings just before going to Hell last year. They look very soft but apparently you can really rough up some humans with them.
    - is a celestial being and doesn't hide it, so feel free to notice.
    - canonically speaks every human language in history, so if you say something in a foreign language around him, he'll know.
    - wears a ring with a black stone on his right hand that we finally got backstory for recently but that I will never reference IG unless I absolutely have to on account of having a weird jewelry squick. It was originally taken from the Garden of Eden.

    Steve McGarrett

    [personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
    -Born in 1977, came from canon in 2014, so he's currently 37.
    -6'2", Dark hair, gray-green-blue-hazel-y eyes, American accent with a fair smattering of Hawaiian slang if he's really leaning into it. He might be the only person you ever meet using "brah" unironically.
    -Is a third generation (at least) Kama’aina (local Hawaiian, but not native). His grandfather died on the USS Arizona during Pearl Harbor.
    -Is a goddamn Navy SEAL, which he will mention if you're within talking range for more than about 10 minutes. As such, is in absolutely ridiculous shape and starts every morning at Omigod Why AM with a five mile swim (yes, in that water) and then a run around the island. Does the run again in the evening.
    -Speaks multiple languages, most Asian, and is trained in hand-to-hand combat, close-quarters weaponry, handguns, sniper rifles, etc., etc. He can fly helicopters and various aircraft as plot requires. He can sail sailboats and drive boats with engines. He can drive cars extremely fast and can crash every rickshaw he's ever gotten into.
    -Is almost always in some form of cargo pants and tight t-shirt that comes five to a package from Walmart. He's either in combat boots or flipflops (Hi, Hawaii). Sometimes he's got a gun strapped to his thigh.
    -Both of his arms have tattoos on them, but unlike the actor, Steve doesn't have a weird chameleon on his right pec. Or a ridiculous tramp stamp.

    - 30 in her timeline.
    - The tallest of all my characters topping off at 5'9". Not sure about her weight but she's pretty lean.
    - Black hair, blue eyes and paler skin than Rory Gilmore. Seriously. The girl needs some sun.
    - Probably has worn the same pair of jeans for two weeks straight because she was too lazy to take her only belt off the pair she's currently wearing
    - Always wearing a black leather jacket that is beat all to hell but probably the only thing she's shown any care for.
    - If it's cold, she'll be wearing a grey wool scarf that the actor probably knitted herself. Krysten is a huge knitter and often comes up with her own patterns.
    - She'll be losing the scarf sometime in the future because Matt Murdock will put it on and get emotions all over it.
    - Typically wears a t-shirt or tank top under her leather jacket. Sometimes a grey or black hoodie if she needs more warmth
    - Wears fingerless gloves for some reason.
    - Has a grey messenger bag on her most of the time which contains her camera, private eye stuff and no doubt endless flasks.
    - Smells like cheap bourbon. Duh.
    - Wears black motorcycle boots

    * Has very noticeable blue-on-blue glowing eyes due to her Spice addiction. Her sclera is blue, not white (CGI had its limits during CoD filming). She'll wear special contacts or glasses to hide them if she has to go off-island, but she hates the contacts. They itch.

    * As a Spice addict, always has a carry-case of it with her. She'll always (subtly) sprinkle some into her food or drink if you're eating with her. It's not your cooking, it's her addiction.

    * Is in her mid thirties, but looks barely twenty. Yay for complete cellular control of the aging process! Some of her students are now very much her physical age-mates or older. It tickles her sense of humor.

    * Tall (5' 9"), red-gold hair, very striking. Has a beautiful voice.

    * Is Pre-Born, which means she has the full genetic memories of all her ancestors in her head, as distinct people. Will register strangely to telepaths. Anyone who tries to evesdrop probably gets a nasty migraine.

    * Clarvoyant, to a degree. And knows when you're lying, as an Adept Truthsayer (along with all the other Bene Gesserit powers).

    * Twin sister of Leto Ateides II. Their mannerisms are eerily similar and they have a habit of finishing each other's thoughts. If you're not used to them, it can be creepy.

    * When teaching, typically wears fancy formal wear of the Imperium, including hat and fancy hair-style. On her down time, tends to dress more Fremen, in tunics and loose pants with her hair down. Does own basic 21st century clothing, but generally only wears it when leaving the island.

    * Is always armed. She always has her crysknife on her, but you can usually count on at least a dozen other knives somewhere on her body, a garrote, and a variety of poisons.

    * Carries herself very regally when acting in an 'official' capcity, like teaching, but when she's being 'Ghani' over 'Atreides,' moves in a much more efficent, combat-ready manner. She's referred to as the 'Lioness of Atreides' for a reason.

    * Has an utterly gorgeous laugh and smile. Is rather impish and playful when not in Princess Mode. She is the other half of the Chaos Twins, after all.

    -16 years old
    -5'7" and actually pretty athletic. She runs and tries to stay in shape.
    -Blonde hair around the middle of her back, and she's always very coiffed. If she brushes her hair back, she does it with her open palm in a way that looks like she's not actually touching said hair.
    -Has a tattoo on her lower back that says "that's hot" in Cantonese. She got it when she was 12.
    -Tends to end her sentences with a lilt a lot and has a very affected vocal fry. You can hear what she sounds like here.
    -She also has a habit of holding her arms like she's carrying a handbag in the crook of her elbow. Her actress describes it as "a T-Rex playing the piano at an old timey saloon." You can see that here.
    -Most expressive face I've ever seen. She makes faces and scrunches up her features and says more with headtilts and squints than I can ever get across.
    -Everything she's wearing might cost more than your rent. Her jewelry is all real, her clothes are all designer, and she tends towards a bohemian look normally, with a lot of white. Sienna Miller was the inspiration for her style.
    -Also a lot of hats.

    - Nowadays often wears gloves so as to not make her roommate uncomfortable. Tisarwat gave her a pair, possibly for her own comfort, so that she wouldn't have to endure Lucille's black lace ones.
    - Moves and speaks in a very controlled way. Unless she gets very... emotional.
    - Smiles more these days, but don't expect her to laugh or be cheerful.

    -Princess of Wakanda.
    -5'8", 18, brown eyes that are almost always full of mischief. Her hair is generally up and out of her way either in complicated braids or puffs, but it's always her natural hair.
    -is obsessed with American culture, so her clothing is a mix of African fabrics and t-shirts referencing obscure memes.
    -Carries herself like a princess with impeccable posture.

    - Is 50 but looks at least 10 years younger. Radchaai healthcare.
    - Brown eyes, dark skin, black hair that's nowadays braided and tied back, but I fail at editing icons for that.
    - I've just decided she's 6'1"/185 cm.
    - Wears a Radchaai Lieutenant uniform half of the time. There is no description in canon other than brown, but fanart (including by [profile] lilaceyedlieutenant describes it like this and I'll go with that.
    - Her accent is as upperclass as you can get in Radchaai, so imagine something like that. She also sounds like she's from an historical drama in Radchaai, due to having been stuck in an escape pod for a thousand years, but since that isn't noticeable in canon dialogue, that's not noticeable in Fandom. But yeah, super posh, and because she sounds like in the audio book in my head, British. Which might not makes sense, but that's how I hear her.
    - More androgynous-looking than in the icons. Finding Radchaai PBs is hard.

    [personal profile] gospel_of_oblivion 2021-04-07 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
    * Seventeen. Whip-sharp thin build, sharp features, probably (still) comes across as slightly feral.

    * Long blonde hair down to just below her shoulder blades, with blunt-cut bangs and bright blue eyes. Looks utterly angelic, when she's not being a feral trash child.

    * Generally dresses in Grunge-style or goth: Ripped jeans, hoodies, flannels, fishnets, tank tops/baggy t-shirts, combat boots, etc. Basically looks like her PB/the version of the character from the New Mutants movie, along with the sarcasm (and anger issues). too bad it was such hot trash

    * Make-up wise; sticks to lip gloss, mascara, and eyeliner as-needed.

    * Her English was implanted telepathically, so has a slightly posh Upstate NY accent with faint British overtones. Thanks, Professor X. Though she's been living Greenwich Village for the few years, and has started picking up that accent, which gets more prominent as she feels more comfortable around people. Will revert to Russian if seriously distressed.

    * Has callouses on her hands consistent with someone who trains with weapons a lot, particularly staff and sword. Which is one reason she likes baggy hoodies she can pull down over her hands.

    * Mutant teleporter, so if you can sense mutations, she will ping your radar.

    * Her teleportation 'Stepping Discs' are flat circles of gold or white light, which she can move in any direction she likes. The easiest method for her to use them are like the portals from Portal, or for someone to step on one, and then appear somewhere else.

    * Sorcerer's Apprentice. If you can sense magic, she is a gigantic glowing well of power. And her magic is equally flashy. Eyes can sometimes glow white or blue when using non-demonic magic, or her mutation. Yay lack of canon consistency.

    * When serious magic's about to go down, will summon her Soul Staff, which has some similarities to a glaive or scythe. It is literally her soul made manifest, and is uniquely lethal to magic-users who aren't her.

    * Also may break out a particular enchanted red cape that would look familiar to those who know a Doctor Strange in their reality.

    * Raised in a Hell dimension by a demon lord from ages 6ish - 15. Was forced into a magical appenticeship and taught dark, chaos, & demonic magics and had her soul corrupted as part of a plan to let the Elder Gods take over Earth.

    * So if you're sensitive to magical energy, Illyana literally has one giant glowing sign of "DEMON" on half her soul, and the other half of her soul is uncorrupted and full of creation magic.

    * Her emotional state (or type of magic she's doing) affects her physical form. Illyana has three(ish) forms that are 'native' to her at this point. No one of the three is more 'her' than the others: Standard Illyana Human, half-demon-half-human (to varying degrees), and full demonic Darkchilde. She tries to stick to Standard Human for everyone else's comfort, but the 50/50 tends to come out when she's stressed or tired. No one here has seen full Darkchilde yet.

    When in demonic-mode:
    * Eyes will tend to be solid gold, or white, or red, depending on how she feels.
    * Red horns grow from her head. Again, depending on how much she's lost control, they could just be tiny nubs, or full-on ram horns.
    * Fangs/claws/tail
    * If she's totally lost it, her legs become goat-like and her skin is red or gold. If she's at that stage, narrative will say so.

    Jesse Faden

    [personal profile] weirderthanthou 2021-04-07 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
    Like her voice- and motion-capture actress Courtney Hope, Jesse:

    - is 1.7 meters or 5'7'' tall, redheaded and blue-eyed. She usually wears her hair in a ponytail.
    - her style is thrift store tough, and she wears her blue leather jacket over basically everything. Sensible stuff like tank-tops and loose jeans that don't inhibit her movement.
    - Now that she's been mayor for a while, she has her occasional forage into some eclectic suits. But only at the office.
    - always wears the Service Weapon on her belt. It looks almost, but not entirely, exactly like a gun, or maybe like a kid assembled a toy gun from his blocks and someone then painted it in gunmetal grey. It has multiple functions, and if you're (un)lucky enough to see it in action, you can see the blocks moving around as Jesse switches it from one function to another.
    - she has a psychic creature in her mind called Polaris. Polaris is a resonance, and is visualized as a spiraling, glittering light, like someone shining a light on the inside of a diamond. You can pick up Polaris if you're sensitive to that kind of thing; she also keeps Jesse safe from low-to-mid-level attempts at mind control.
    - has what I can only describe as 'generic American' because I don't know any better. Yes, I know, last time I said it was 'generic Midwestern', but that was before they retconned her hometown from Wisconsin to Maine.

    -Doesn't really know how old he is (or when his birthday is)
    -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 last time we did this) but definitely has a tendency to try and look smaller. Sometimes because he's trying to be a smaller target and sometimes because he's just trying not to be noticed.
    -Overall not a very large guy. Stays on the slim side in spite of appearing to live off sugar.
    -His head is usually shaved. When it isn't his hair is reddish-gold. If he'd had the hair for longer in canon I'd have him keep it but that really limits the icon possibilities.
    -His one eye is blue, which 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. Does own a pair of leather pants which probably ought to come out this week.
    -Overtips service employees. Canonically.
    -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 in time.
    -Definitely a little on the twitchy/fidgety side. Often fiddles with the buckle at his neck holding the mask in place.
    -Currently smiles more than he did when he first came back because he's feeling more comfortable now.
    -Doesn't like the cold because it reminds him of an ice planet where many things went horribly wrong and because his childhood was spent in Scarran space.
    -Doesn't particularly like extreme heat either because it reminds him of Scarrans and Scarrans are terrible.

    -16
    -Brown hair, blue eyes
    -TINY because Emilie de Ravin is tiny. 5'2", according to Google, but tbh she seems shorter than that so idk.
    -Sounds Australian because Emile de Ravin is, in fact, Australian and "sounds Australian" is my character type I GUESS
    -Wears lots of pretty dresses because she's a Disney princess

    - Chronologically eight, but looks/acts like someone in their mid to late 20s.
    - Dark blond hair that naturally has a bit of a curl, but he usually styles it to be sticking up.
    - Despite what some of the icons would lead you to believe, he no longer bleaches the tips, oh my god. The tragedy of coming from a canon that was filmed in the early 2000s.
    - Grey eyes.
    - At 6’2”, is pretty tall. Especially compared to his tiny, tiny wife.
    - Has a fairly deep voice with an eastern US accent. Does tend to pronounce those initial h’s as y’s.
    - Has a fashion sense that is described in canon as “casual yet expensively formal” whatever the hell that means. So... jeans and long-sleeve button-ups but like... designer ones.
    - Also generally wears black 90% of the time. Has a smattering of shirts in other colours, most of which are still dark.
    - Has triangular marks on his palms that look like burn scars. They aren’t. Typically a light red, but can be darker, which I try to mention when that’s the case. Also emit pinkish-purple swirls of energy... which would definitely be mentioned.
    - Is not entirely corporeal, so if your character can sense things like psychic energy, he might ping weird.
    - The engagement ring has been replaced by a wedding ring on his finger, but he typically wears the engagement ring on a chain around his neck.
    - Sometimes wears a pair of black fingerless gloves. Usually paired with a black turtleneck, it’s very much his “everyday armour”, when he’s feeling particularly don’t-touch-me.
    - His phone is actually a device called a Global which is very distinctive-looking, the screen is made of a flexible material that collapses inwards when it’s closed.
    - Has a number of scars, the most notable one is a circular dime-sized scar on his abdomen. But there’s also burn scars from electrocution on his back and claw marks over one of his pecs, of all places. All of which would really only be noticeable when shirtless.
    - Carries a number of weapons on his person, mostly concealed, but always has his beam pistol (looks more or less an ordinary handgun, but shoots energy blasts) on him unless otherwise noted.
    - Was born with the genetic memories of all three (yes three) of his biological parents. Occasionally when recalling one of these memories (either on purpose or triggered in some way), his face will go blank and his eyes vague and distant.
    - Is played by a white actor despite being one-third Filipino which I always thought was kind of a weird choice but alien DNA I guess.

    Juillenne Milone

    [personal profile] legionqueen 2021-04-08 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
    - Is the definition of 'looks like she could kill you, could actually kill you', though she's also very cinnamon-roll-esque if she likes you. (There's no one she's met here on island that she dislikes, so y'all have that going for you at least?)
    - Is tiiiiny. Canon doesn't say too much about her height, just that she's noticeably shorter than all the rest of the Milones.
    - It's also mentioned that she's darker than all her relatives, so I think it's pretty reasonable to assume she's biracial/mixed.
    - Has heterochromia- her left eye is green, and her right is blue. The icons don't reflect this, but the PB is absolutely perfect otherwise so I'm rolling with it.
    - Is almost always accompanied by a mountain cat named Camden. I'm more likely to mention if Cam isn't present than if she is, to be honest.
    - Her left leg is amputated just above the knee. Right now she uses a crutch to get around most of the time, but this may change soon, la.
