meme: more than meets the eye
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!

Tahani al-Jamil
-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 eyes are brown.
-Her clothing tends towards floral maxi-dresses worth more than a small country. She will wear them maybe once. Her jewelry is tasteful and always real.
