meme: more than meets the eye

[defenderofdesmoines]

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!

Yasha Nydoorin

[notarockharpist]

* 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.
