physical details meme

[pyth]

Nobody wants paragraphs and paragraphs of purple prose, but I'm really curious about the physical details of people's characters. Here are some questions/prompts/things; pick one or fifteen characters, answer, and post for the edification of your RP partners. ^.^

<i>Typical outfit, or sense of style?</i> <i>Height?</i> <i>Hair color?</i> <i>Eye color?</i> <i>Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)?</i> <i>Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc?</i> <i>Typical expressions and/or gestures?</i> <i>Posture and movement?</i> <i>What does their voice sound like?</i> <i>Hygiene routine, if any?</i> <i>Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)?</i> <i>Any physical insecurities?</i>

Typical outfit, or sense of style? HUGE WINTER COATS, often when winter coats are not strictly appropriate to the occasion. Button-down shirts in various subtly quirky colours. Expensive, classy clothes that he treats like shit.

Height? 6'9".

Hair color? Black.

Eye color? Pale grey.

Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? Absurdly tall, generally fine-boned, on the thin side. Long fingers. A stretched-out Benedict Cumberbatch, basically, like he wasn't stretched-out enough already.

Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Does the fact that his core temperature is below freezing fit in this section? I think it does.

Typical expressions and/or gestures? Looks down at people a lot! Because he is taller than they are! Also fiercely maintains his personal space.

Posture and movement? Occasionally slouches, occasionally doesn't. Mood may be a factor. Never touches anyone (except when he does).

What does their voice sound like? Very, very deep. Kind of quiet. English.

Hygiene routine, if any? Cold showers. Because they are more comfortable.

Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? Ice! Ice and coffee.

Any physical insecurities? Mainly revolving around the fact that he is half frost giant. May get snippy if you point out how tall he is.
