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.

John Constantine
• 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.
