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!

Octavia

[okteiviakom]

-- 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.
