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.

-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.
