meme: more than meets the eye

It has been nearly a year since we last did this meme, and I know we have had a ton of new characters since then and it's a crime that I don't know what they all sound like or what their eye colors are.

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!


And to echo what Sam said last time this was posted, I am often thrown off when I get into a canon from this game and go, "Whoa, his voice isn't as deep as I thought/she has an accent/et cetera" so I'm especially curious about voices!

Diego Hargreeves

[personal profile] knife_bender 2022-03-16 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)

  • 30 years old, birthday is October 1st, 1989

  • 5'10" with an athletic build. Still taller than Five. For now.

  • 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. Annie can convince him to wear colors but it takes a lot of asking.

  • 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.

  • Is very graceful and now that he's spent time with his siblings again he's, like, supernaturally graceful. Very acrobatic, will fall and land on his feet like a cat, unnecessary flips, etc


  • And I use a long haired icon here because I never get to use them.

- So. Many. Scars. Round worm-burrow scars everywhere, right hand totally burn-melted, stab scars on his shoulders, one on his throat.
- Perpetually looks like he needs sleep.
- Actually has a really awesome voice. And he won't be doing operas any time soon, but he sings rock really well. (Here, have some actual-Jonny-Sims singing.)
- Short. Probably about 5'5" or 6"? So, like, he's not dwarfed by his students, but compared to, say, Gladio or Goose (or Dwight, or Sidon, or)... Yeah, short.
- Actually has a decent haircut now, thanks to Eliot's influence. Is very greying.
- Has a rather posh English accent. His college gf when she met him thought he put it on to sound more impressive, posh. It gets worse when he's being insufferable and stuffy (or intentionally exaggerating it, which he's also been known to do).
- Nobody believes he's 31. Ever. Seriously, he knows what a meme is.

Irene Adler

[personal profile] begmetwice 2022-03-16 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
  • newly 33 years old, very slender, and 5'3" in her stockinged feet.
  • buuuut she's usually in at least 3 inch heels, so.
  • canonically her measurements are 32-24-34
  • bright blue eyes.
  • long, wavy brown hair that goes about to her middle back. She usually wears it up in a pretty complicated-looking updo.
  • generally wearing a sheath dress, stockings, and Louboutin heels (the ones with the red sole) unless otherwise specified, and for the most part you can assume Irene's clothes cost about the GDP of a small nation.
  • definitely wears perfume. Probably something spicy and deliberately sexy, from Chanel or Calvin Klein or something.
  • she also favors tasteful but bold jewelry -- she's got a big watch in canon, she likes to wear diamonds or pearl studs on her ears, et cetera.
  • almost always made up -- red lipstick, a full face, and sometimes she does quirky little fun things like wearing electric blue eyeliner as an accent. She also always has her nails done, red polish.
  • and speaking of accents, she speaks in a fairly low voice, with a London accent. (She's from the West End and very posh, if you're the sort of person to be able to determine the region from which someone hails based on their accent.)
  • also, bonus points -- Lara Pulver won an Olivier Award for her work in the Gypsy revival a few years ago (in which Imelda Staunton played her mom and wow, of all the crossovers I never wanted), and thus, she can sing and do a half-decent American accent!

    • 29-30 years old. Haven't decided on a birthday.

    • The most noticeable thing about him is that he's got a birthmark over his left eye that kind of looks like a bruise.

    • Reddish hair, blue eyes.

    • The actor is British but unlike most British guys his American accent isn't Dr. House/Dr. Strange gravelly and low. Kind of sounds like a big frat boy.

    • Works out a lot so is pretty buff.

    • Has surgical scars on his legs from when a firetruck fell on him that one time

    • I FORGOT ABOUT THE TATTOOS. Buck's covered in tattoos that range from "nice" to "tacky af"

    - Unless he's indoors in dim lighting or it's night out, he's wearing sunglasses (or his Spidey mask, if appropriate).
    - If you can see his eyes, they're red. Not, like, irritated. Red irises.
    - He has fangs. On the island, he doesn't bother to hide them. Elsewhere, he mumbles and doesn't open his mouth much.
    - He's a smart-ass. Oh, wait, that's not hidden.

    • 34 years old, at least that's how I decided to work out the math considering she was, you know, blinked out of existence for five years. Birthdate is "spring 1989".

    • Her hair is dyed a light red, but is naturally a brunette with green eyes.

    • Speaks with an American accent however, can slip into a vaguely Eastern European accent when upset.

    • 5'6"...somehow making her, like, the second tallest lady Avenger (I think Brie Larson is taller than Lizzie).

    • When using her powers her eyes and hands glow red. The power she shoots out her hands will be red as well.

    • Dresses in jeans and plain tops most of the time, layered with a hoodie. Used to have a goth phase that she is now embarrassed by.

    • As the Scarlet Witch, however, she looks like this.

    • Looks subject to change after Dr. Strange 2 comes out

    - It's not in most of her icons, but her eyes are red-rimmed yellow, because Sith.
    - Sounds British upper-class Dromund Kaasian (SRP Brit. Example.)
    - When on the island, she dresses in practical Earth clothes. Something like a pantsuit or tunic and skirt, but something she can move in. And she'll always have her lightsaber. If she goes to the mainland, she'll put it in her purse or a big pocket, but the lightsaber stays.
    - Is currently older than her PB icons. Will be getting new ones.

    [personal profile] sharp_man 2022-03-16 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
    - No matter what his icon shows, assume he is wearing very up-to-date styled suits. Updates his wardrobe frequently. It's also always perfectly tailored, unless he has a reason to wear something that's not (in which case, that will be in the ping).
    - Is 6', so about average for Fandom? LOL
    - Has a Danish Lithuanian accent, but he's been in the US long enough it's softened a bit.

  • somewhere in the vicinity of 500, but by all appearances about 40-45.
  • longish (just about to his shoulders) thick, brown hair, with an accompanying neatly-trimmed beard.
  • brown eyes, too.
  • a strapping 5'10", with what I would characterize as a beer gut if I didn't know beer would make him hilariously projectile vomit.
  • oh, right, he has fangs. He is not shy about them, and if you really piss him off, he'll bare them and hiss at you. It's very intimidating, okay.
  • generally speaking, dresses like a pseudo-goth steampunk emo kid. The opening credits show that he and Nadja have totally adopted the clothing of the time in the past, so...I'm not really sure why they both default to the styles of the late 19th century? But they do. I love this canon and its lack of concern for these things.
  • speaks in a British accent so plummy and fake-sounding that I figured it was until I looked it up and Matt Berry turned out to be an actual Englishman.
  • when he turns into a bat, he yells, "Bat!" first and then trails a plume of black mist/smoke behind him to cover the cheap special effect transformation.
  • and he totally has two human NPCs following him around with a camera and a microphone at all times.

    - 33/34ish? I haven't decided exactly.
    - 6'2", which means he's used to being taller than most people back home but is pretty average here in Fandom.
    - Red hair (hence the username, as “Ginger Spice” was an actual canon nickname in high school) with a definite natural curl to it, and brown eyes.
    - is from Chicago, but doesn't have what I would consider a distinctively strong Chicago accent or anything.
    - Perpetually scruffy facial hair. Probably because he looks so baby-faced clean-shaven.
    - has a small black line-art tattoo of a cross on the middle finger of his left hand.
    - dresses in a lot of plaid when he's not in scrubs. So much plaid.
    - wears a medallion on a gold chain around his neck, which we never see up close to confirm but given that he is a) Catholic and b) a doctor, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s a St. Luke medallion.

    [personal profile] atreideslioness 2022-03-16 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
    * 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 real, distinct people. Will register strangely to telepaths. Anyone who tries to eavesdrop probably gets a nasty migraine.

    * Clairvoyant, 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' capacity, like teaching, but when she's being 'Ghani' over 'Atreides,' moves in a much more efficient, 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.
    gospel_of_oblivion: (seriously?)

    Illyana Raputina

    [personal profile] gospel_of_oblivion 2022-03-16 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    * Eighteen. 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 goblin 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. However, just because that's easiest, doesn't mean that's how she likes to use them. Illyana delights in making physics her bitch, and acting like she's in a game of meta-for Portal.

    * 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 apprenticeship 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.

    * Can see/sense other people's magic, pretty much like how Synch sees mutant auras. She has been told, repeatedly, that it's rude to let people know you can do that, but she doesn't always remember things like 'tact' or 'manners.'

    * 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.

    • 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.

    Dwight Hendrickson
    • Just shy of 6’6’’, sandy blonde to light brown hair. Has been known to grow it out to shoulder length where it can get a bit wavy and gives him a ‘hippie surfer’ look. Good looking hippie surfer dude though usually he will have it very short.
    • He has grey blue eyes.
    • Age is never clearly established in the show but considering the other main characters are around 30 or so and Dwight’s a bit older I’ve always put him around 35 when he shows up on the island.
    • Dwight has had everything from a short beard to stubble depending on how busy he’s been putting out fires and dealing with issues. On the island its kept short though he usually is not clean shaven.
    • Grew up in small town (not named in canon but always seemed like out Midwest was right for him) but doesn’t have much of an accent in any case- not even a real New England accent *shrugs*
    • Spent a number of years with the Army Rangers and is very buff and muscular and is good with weapons and hand to hand combat.
    • As a resident of Haven, Maine… he has a Trouble (super power that is not all that super) and his is that he is a bullet magnet. Anything fired with combustion- so bullets and cannon balls are included- that is shot withing 300 yards of him or so will change course and come right for him like a heat-seeking missile. As a result, he has quite a few scars from bullets over the years- especially in Haven as there always seems to be an issue and poor Dwight gets shot quite often.
    • Dwight’s trouble activated when he was with the Rangers over in Afghanistan during the war. His battalion was ambushed and taken captive and during the shootout the Trouble took hold and half the bullets ended up going for him.
    • If he hadn’t been in full gear Dwight would have died, and as it was, he got several bullets in him and woke up in the field hospital. That was when he found out about Haven and moved there when he was honorably discharged.
    • Usually has his old dog tags around his neck and if they aren’t they are carefully placed in a drawer.
    • Canon is not clear (because Haven writers suck with timelines and backstories XD ) but Dwight has a daughter named Lizzie who is around 7 or 8 at the time he was shot. His wife left him when he got injured, saying she couldn’t deal with everything. So, Dwight comes home an injured vet, with a new deadly and devastating Trouble, and is also a single dad now on top of it all.
    • Dwight and Lizzie move to Haven and start a new life where Dwight becomes involved with a secretive group known as The Guard- this is where he gets his very impressive tattoo of the Guard’s Emblem on his back. Its ironic and heart breaking considering it was The Guard that ended up killing Lizzie- and that is what drove him to leave Haven and come to Fandom as well.
    • He’s a simple man- he doesn’t wear cologne or anything
    • He dresses simply and prefer ad comfortable shirt and jeans and likes working with his hands
    • Given his gun aversion he is very skilled with bow and arrow and hand combat weapons
    • Dwight can sing and has a pretty good voice though he usually takes a good bit of persuasion and/or drinks to get him to do so in public
    • Dwight has a tendency to drink -especially when he is moody or when certain times of the year roll around (Lizzie’s death for example)
    • Loves to hunt and fish and be outdoors
    • Values friendships and is one of the most loyal friends you will find once you get into his circle.
    • Open as far as possible relationships though he very much leans toward demiromantic/grey ace

    Bonus: Dwight's theme song (One of them) Castle of Glass by Linkin Park

    Yang Xiao Long

    [personal profile] misshapen_spark 2022-03-16 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
    ☼ Nineteen and Deeply Traumatized with PTSD. Hides it under a layer of sass.

    ☼ TALL. Very buff, very tall, and rather well-endowed for her age. And she's not afraid to use it to her advantage.

    Yang's right arm is very obviously gone, replaced with a neon yellow and black robotic arm. Her biological arm ends just above where her elbow should be, and is sealed off with a metal cap when she's not wearing her top-of-the-line, military-grade, fancy cybernetic replacement (which has a gun inside it!). The arm interfaces with her nervous system via the connection cap, and works perfectly, like she's always had it. If she was wearing long-sleeves and gloves, you'd never know it was mechanical.

    ☼ She's also perfectly comfortable walking around without her arm, just with her sleeve tied-up to keep it out of the way. If she's not wearing the arm, I'll say so in-narrative.

    ☼ Has some PTSD issues right now. Working on it. Has flashbacks to the night of the attack, and tremors in her remaining biological arm.

    ☼ Talks like a stereotypical Valley Girl most of the time. Usually when she's deliberately playing dumb, but her voice is almost always cheerful. If she sounds serious, she's not fucking around.

    ☼ Tends to wear warm/bright colors; brown, orange, yellow, red, with some purple thrown in. Leather pants, tank tops, motorcycle boots and jacket. ALWAYS wearing bulky gold metal bracelet on her left wrist (because it transforms into her weapons of choice).

    ☼ Said weapon of choice is shotgun gauntlets. Yes. She made them herself. She'll joke about how her sister is a weapons nut, but Yang's no slouch when it comes to engineering her own gear.

    ☼ Top-tier combatant. She literally went to Superhero College and was one of the top students across all four schools. Her body language says she can (and will) fuck you up if you start shit. The muscles aren't just for show.

    ☼ If you think she's flirting with you, you're probably right. Yang's a horrible horrible flirt. Always assume the innuendo is intended, and she says it like that.

    ☼ Often smells of gasoline and gunpowder, since working on her motorcycle and shooting things are two of her favorite hobbies.

    ☼ ENORMOUS BLONDE HAIR FULL OF SECRETS. SO MUCH HAIR. HAIR THAT BASICALLY BECOMES LIVING FLAME SOMETIMES. It's gorgeous.

    ☼ Purple eyes (usually)

    Just... don't make her angry. She's got a short temper, and you really wouldn't like her when she's angry. Her eyes go red, her hair becomes flames, and she goes berserk.

    ☼ Her fire DOES NOT give off heat unless she 1) wants it to 2) she's totally lost control. But she will let you roast marshmallows off her because she thinks it's funny.

    ☼ Her power is always "on," so she is constantly absorbing kinetic energy, which is passively converted into super-strength. Yang is very careful and well-trained by now, she's had her powers at least since she was a toddler, so she doesn't break things unless she wants to break them. She thinks nothing of picking up a bed to help re-arrange your bedroom, and it looks effortless because for her, it is.

    • Is around 27 and still stubbornly clinging to the term 'mid-twenties'. She's 5'3'' tall and has pretty dark brown eyes.
    • Her icons wash her out a little, but she's a brown woman with long dark hair and caramel highlights, of mixed Indian and Mexican heritage.
    • Let's face it, the first thing you're always going to notice about her is the eyepatch. It's there, it's bold, and whatever it is today, it's going to match with her outfit. I'm not the kind of player who has a whole spreadsheet of eyepatches available, but whenever her clothes are described - just picture an eyepatch that matches that.
    • Underneath it is nothing but an empty socket. I will usually remember she only has one eye. Usually.
    • She's a fashion queen. When she was quote-unquote 'just' a Brakebills student, she preferred modern outfits with bold colors and lots of short skirts. Then she became queen, kept the bold colors, and went buck freaking wild with gowns and weird-ass high fantasy shit. Nowadays, she likes to find herself somewhere in the middle. Her make-up is generally a bit understated in comparison.
    • She has a surprisingly low, raspy voice (a deliberate choice by her actress, who decided on that after the first season) that can get downright husky-to-growly at times. She's from California, but I am not American enough to know how much you can hear that in her voice.
    • These days, she's usually carrying a spiky axe on her belt. It's a fashion statement. Yes, she dresses to match it, what of it?
    • Her magic is done by performing intricate hand gestures, which generally look something like this.
    • She has an intricate tattoo of the letter M on her back. It used to be a prison for a demon, but the demon is long gone.

    - Indeterminate age (has no birthday, doesn't know how old he is, might get a birthday someday if he ever gets reminded that someone once told him he should just pick a day and have a party)
    - Roughly 6' tall
    - Definitely on the slim side (skinnier at the moment than he used to be because he hasn't been eating well AND hasn't even been hitting up the bakery)
    - His eye is blue
    - Always, always wears the mask unless otherwise noted
    - Under the mask is glowy goldish light which is why the mask is there. Otherwise he leaks.
    - Ginger when his hair is long enough for it to be noticed. He was letting it grow earlier this winter. He's not anymore.
    - Rarely smiles these days
    - Sounds vaguely Australian. Right now he mostly sounds the lot like he does this little speech. Resigned.
    - Can sing but almost never does
    - Kind of twitchy at times (moreso now than he had been), fiddles with the buckle at his neck often when nervous
    - Nearly all his clothing is brown or black and functional and nearly none of it looks new

    -29 years old. (?????)
    -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.
    -Wears her wedding and engagement rings on her left hand.

    -21 years old.
    -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 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. It's pretty rare to see her with her hair all the way down but I note when it does happen.
    -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. 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. She uses it less now so I'll note when she has it.
    -Does have a lightsaber, which she wears on her belt unless otherwise specified.
    -Sounds incredibly British. (Is, of course, not.)

    [personal profile] notarockharpist 2022-03-16 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    * In her late 20s or possibly early 30s. 5'11", but whether it's due to her appearance or something unworldly about her aasimar (angelic) heritage she just kind of... seems taller. (This is my interpretation of the fact that per Ashley Johnson, Yasha is 5'11" but everyone else acts like she's much bigger.)
    * She is, however, fucking built.
    * Extremely pale -- like, practically bloodless, kind of unearthly levels of pale. Her hair is mid back length or so and dark black, with rat tails and small beads and ribbons braided into it here and there, but fades to silvery white at the ends, like she grew out a bleach job but never bothered to get a haircut.
    * Her right eye is turquoise and the left one is violet; she's generally got a very smudgy raccoon-eye war paint kind of situation going on there.
    * She's also just kind of generally disheveled, like someone who doesn't much give a shit, but she's getting a little better about it. It's like basic hygiene and not much past that.
    * ... honestly there's a lot of "female Eivor from Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but make it goth and antisocial" energy going on here.
    * I tend to bring this up in narrative but her voice is absurdly soft for as imposing as she looks, with a light Scandinavian type accent (even if Ashley didn't always bother with using it lol).
    * This will change soon-ish, but the grey leathers and tattered fur lined cloak in her icon are what she's always wearing.
    * Unless specifically noted, she always has that giant-ass sword on her back.
    * Also she's just awkward as fuck all the time unless she's fighting.
    * Also also, apparently she smells like crayons (established long before you, Robert Pattinson).

    ETA for when she busts out the wings:

    * The wings (see her level 10 official art for reference, though the rest of the outfit isn't a thing yet) are massive, skeletal bat-like wings. You might see bits of tattered membrane attached in places.
    * Her eyes and hair go completely black when the wings come out, and light in her immediate vicinity seems to dim somewhat. It's basically an aura of fear, though if you happen to be within 10 feet of her while she's like this, I'll leave it up to you as far as being frightened and wanting to get as far the fuck away from her as possible.
    * She can only do this for about a minute, and her hair and eyes revert to normal afterward. She would not blame you for staying frightened, probably.

    [personal profile] furrybluefreak 2022-03-16 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    • This version on the island is kid Kurt so he is around 16 years old
    • Is from Germany so speaks with a somewhat strong Germanic accent and sometimes gets hung up on English words and pronunciations and is known to slip native words into normal conversation.
    • Obviously blue in color- to be more specific he is covered in a soft fine fur- think almost velveteen rabbit type. His skin is also blue and his hair is a dark black/deep blue color.
    • Eyes are yellow rimmed due to his night vision.
    • He has three fingers on each hand and only two “toes” on his feet- think about the look of those cool split Jika-tabi shoes.
    • He has a prehensile tail that he can use just like a monkey, and it has a the typical ‘devil’ point look at the tip. Kurt often uses his tail like a third hand and will hold or carry things with it.
    • Kurt has pointy ears and also has fangs hat show when he talks, and especially when he gives a big smile or laughs.
    • Kurt is very strong and fast – more than what a normal teenager would be- which also leads to him having an almost endless appetite due to the metabolism needs his body has.
    • Kurt is Catholic but as devout as his MANY other Marvel timeline/realities are. He does carry a rosary on his person at times and has been known to spend time reading his worn version of the Bible in his room and in the common room now and then.
    • He is very slender, despite how much he can eat. He is also tall for his age though he looks a lot shorter because he tends to slouch and crouch a bit when he stands or sits. It’s much more comfortable for him to sit in a squatting or hunched over position due to being very flexible and agile and bending in both his joints and his actual bones.
    • Kurt can teleport and when he does, he blinks out of sight and leaves behind a small cloud of purple-black smoke that faintly smells of sulfur or brimstone.
    • Island Kurt wears normal clothes a teenager would and is particularly fond of hoodies- left over comfort and coping mechanism from years of trying to hide his appearance.
    • Has a sensitive sense of smell and so is not fond of perfumes and cologne and such
    • Likes to sing and isn’t half bad but is very shy and self-conscious and often too timid to do it in public.
    • Coming from a world where mutants like him were hunted and killed in terrible ways at times, he is still somewhat shy and has some issues to work on in regards to accepting who and what he is- but the dream of becoming one of the X-Men will serve as a good motivator to get him past this and get him more determined and less reserved in time.

    -40-something. Is, thankfully, not balding. Jedi Jesus hair like in the icons, blue eyes, Canadian Tatooine accent.
    -6'2" and walks like he's making Jedi robes flare dramatically. Generally also wearing Jedi robes, which are flaring dramatically.
    -Yup, after 16 years on Earth, still rocking mostly Jedi attire. He tries to dress more Earth on vacations but hates it.
    -Projects an air of being deeply tired of all of you, but it's mostly a front at this point. Will never admit to that.
    -Wears a gold wedding ring on his left hand.

    * 26 years old, 5'6" and on the slim side. Decent upper arm muscles, though, from the drumming.
    * Auburn hair about chin length, no bangs, and green eyes. Really not a makeup girl.
    * 90% chance she's wearing a damn beanie.
    * Her voice is light but a little raspy, with a West Coast accent. Here, just have the trailer video for Wavelengths for reference because she's adorable. Her singing voice is dubbed by someone else weirdly less raspy. (Please help her though, lyrics are deeeeefinitely not her forte.)
    * She favors jeans and boots, and usually long tanks or t-shirts with a jacket or cover shirt of some kind on top. There's a lot of plaid flannel and overall Pacific Northwest Lesbian vibe here.
    * She has a bunch of thin cord bracelets around both wrists, and several necklaces, most prominently a black choker and a silver dragon pendant on a long leather cord.
    * There's also a tattoo of a swallow below her right collarbone that's partially visible when she's wearing t-shirts or tanks.
    * You can usually see a pair of drumsticks sticking out of her back pocket. Also odds are good that she's fidgeting with a dark blue d20 in her hand at some point.

    -- 30 years old.
    -- Not as pale as she was when she returned in 2020, but not the most tan person around.
    -- Healthy-looking; still mostly muscle, but has some more curves on her after being in a place without major food scarcity for a year and a half.
    -- Green eyes, dark brown hair down a little past her shoulders, worn down unless otherwise noted.
    -- Has a lot of scars, but the most gruesome ones aren't anywhere visible in day-to-day life. (She has one from being fully impaled by a sword, on her stomach/back!)
    -- Has three tattoos. One (pictured in the icon here) is an abstract thing of various black lines and shapes that runs from her right upper arm all the way up to the side of her neck. On her left upper arm/shoulder cap, she has another one in matching style that's an asymmetrical open circle with three little V shapes around it. And finally, on her left leg, she has a blackwork serpent looping around her calf twice, with its tail on the inside of her ankle and its head resting along the outside of her knee.
    -- Wears a lot of sensible basics in mostly dark grey and black. Hoodies and sweats and t-shirts, that kind of thing. Has maybe moved slightly further away from leather and tough fabrics, but not entirely.
    -- Probably smells like either the ocean or the woods, most of the time.
    -- Sounds like this (CW for a fair bit of violence, as this is The 100). Kind of raspy, often very dry/mild/flat.
    -- Very reserved. Getting better about emoting again, but if you don't know her well, expect to not get a lot in the way of facial expressions while you're getting to know her.
    -- Does not eat meat.

    Steve Rogers

    [personal profile] heroic_jawline 2022-03-16 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
    -Born in 1918. His trip through MCU canon is currently somewhere in 2016, so Steve is 98 and also 32-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 Civil War 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 geometry and trig.
    -Wears a wedding band on his left hand.

    -5'11" in stocking feet, but is generally in a pair of extremely fashionable but not exactly practical footwear. The important part is that they are horribly expensive.
    -Pakistani-British and extremely wealthy. If you stand anywhere near her for more than about 3 seconds, you'll learn this. Her accent is London and posh (like her good friend, Posh) if you can hear such things, her hair is shiny, waist length and annoyingly perfect, and her bangs are heavy.
    -Her clothing tends towards floral maxi-dresses worth more than a small country. She will wear them maybe once. And never if she suspects Alexis might have the piece, too.

    -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 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. Still gets lapped by Steve Rogers. Will never get over it.
    -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.

    --6'5", blonde hair, blue eyes.
    --Vampire, so he's noticeably cool to the touch. His fangs are retractable, though, so you won't seem them unless you've really pissed him off.
    --Sounds like this. (ahahaha, teacup humans.)
    --Is ripped and has no shame about showing any of his considerable assets off to anyone.
    --Has been around for a thousand years, so he speaks a ton of languages as the plot demands.
    --Has been around for a thousand years, so his default facial expression is "generally bored with all of you."
    --Wears suits, well-cut pants and awesome, awesome blue sweaters, and to my sorrow, also has a weird fondness for vinyl tracksuits.

    • General appearance- around 6’, dark eyes, tanned skin, slick jet black hair (usually grown out into a near mullet look yes XD )
    • Billy was around 22 in his canon- he has spent 7 years since then in Mexico. His canon is set in the 90’s though so he’s had something around 15 year time jump to get to Fandom- and he is VERY glad he did not age that much!
    • Very broad and muscular from his time as a Marine- which went badly and ended up with him being falsely accused of war crimes and sentenced to execution.
    • Has some scars from various wartime encounters and his brush with zombies during the start of the zombie apocalypse. One real noticeable one is a scar on his left wrist which looks like a cut but is from the pair of handcuffs he had been wearing when his zombie adventure started.
    • He is fond of wearing tank tops and will often go shirtless when the weather permits. Prefers jeans and t-shirts or wife-beaters to anything else really.
    • Billy has a large tattoo on one arm that goes from shoulder down to his wrist. It is tribal in design and looks like an abstract design but if you look close it actually says “MotherLove”.
    • Billy smokes like a chimney and can drink like a fish – especially when he is stressed and on edge (yes hello there Jon, thanks for that XD )
    • He spent over seven years after the zombie encounter hiding out in Mexico, trying to avoid being found out and sent back for execution. That is where he developed a taste of Clove cigarettes and several strong varieties of Mexican beer. That’s also where he picked up a bit of a drug habit, he’s in the process of kicking still.
    • Billy can play the piano, work with all manner of guns and hand weapons, and is a skilled hunter and tracker.
    • He enjoys the beach and surfing and is a very strong swimmer and diver.
    • Billy will also sing now and then though never when he thinks someone might hear him.
    • He is usually clean shaven- partly due to him not liking the feel of a beard and also partly because he doesn’t seem to be able to grow a full one.
    • Is not fond of perfumes or strong smells of any kind
    • Will come across as cold at times and is socially awkward, but he is trying.

    [personal profile] somethingwithturquoise 2022-03-16 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
    ✮ 21 years old, born June 19, 2000. I picked June 19 because it's the day BEFORE the start of summer, and I thought it would be funny if her parents named her after being born on the first day of the season but fucked it up.
    ✮ I figure she's somewhere around 5'9"/5'10"; with the exception of Morty (who possibly just hasn't hit a growth spurt yet), the Smith family runs pretty tall. The only one we have an actual height for is Rick at around 6'6", so it's a very rough estimate and based on me imagining she definitely played volleyball at some point and Annie thinking she was tall, lol. Thin build, really wishes she had bigger boobs and smaller hips (which the wiki refers to as wide, and is all, 'omg, rude.')
    ✮ Long, oval shaped face and a slightly pointed nose. Definitely does not look like her dad in a ponytail, how dare you.
    ✮ Red hair, almost always in a ponytail, that's just past her shoulderblades when down. No canon eyecolor, but I figured they're probably greenish-brown?
    ✮ Is addicted to her pink tank top and white capris and black flats ensemble, but also loves fashion so she probably doesn't really always wear that, but also probably maybe does. But she likes her clothes, simple, cute, and not-fussy in case any shit suddenly goes down, you know?
    ✮ Will definitely always be wearing a little black fit-bit looking watch-thing that is a totally normal biometric tracker, though, so that her boyfriend generally knows she's alive and/or where to find her when, you know, she gets portalnapped by her crazy grandpa
    ✮ Is voiced by Spencer Grammer, and it's pretty much just Spencer being Spencer, giving her a bit of a low gravelly bored drawl with a little bit of vocal fry. This makes her one of two of my characters voiced by the daughter of a comedy icon, the other one being Amaya, who is voiced by Zelda Williams, aka bae.

    - IMDB says Emilie de Ravin is 5'2" but she seems tiny so I'm not convinced someone didn't round up.
    - Long brown hair (which is prettier than some of the wigs she was subjected to some of them were bad), blue eyes
    - Sounds Australian
    - Wears dresses/skirts almost exclusively but I can rarely be bothered to look up outfits for her so just picture vague things I guess? idk.
    - Canon Belle made some weird fashion choices at times so really, just go with whatever. Could be plaid with weird ruffles. Could be a lovely dark blue Armani dress.
