meme: more than meets the eye

[scarlet_chaos]

Here is a meme that doesn't have a ton of back and forth but it's useful. So fun and useful! And I know we like talking about our characters.

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, how they dress, if they have a distinct singing voice, etc!

Just a good reference to have in case you're in a casual thread and are like "Hmm does Anakin wear those robes 24/7 or is there a casual Friday where he wears jorts" or "I wonder what Eddie Munson smells like?"

Here is last year's example!

Eric Northman

--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. Or you ask.
--Sounds like this. (ahahaha, teacup humans.)
--Is ripped and has no shame about showing any of his considerable assets off to anyone at basically any time.
--Has been around for a thousand years, so he speaks a ton of languages as the plot demands, but tends to speak English on the island. Just don't assume he doesn't know what you're saying if you've switched to something different in his bar.
--Has been around for a thousand years, so his default facial expression is "generally bored with all of you."
--Will almost never serve you a drink at the Devil's Nest because vampires are better than you. Not sorry about it.
--Because he's a thousand year old vampire, his canon allows him to be awake during the day but he does bleed from the ears and eyes if he does it. It's not cute. He doesn't like doing it. He will be the pile o' dust that used to be Eric if he goes out in the sun.
--He also has to be invited into new private places before he can go in. If you rescind the invitation he basically moonwalks back out the door. Hilarious. He can also fly but doesn't turn into a bat.
--Wears suits, well-cut pants and awesome, awesome blue sweaters, and to my sorrow, also has a weird fondness for vinyl tracksuits.

I'm sorry, it seems you forgot Eric's best clothing item, the hot-pink Speedo.

Goddamn, Charlaine Harris, you are a special lady.

We need another fire drill so Eric can inflict that on everyone's eyeballs again!
