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? simple flat subdued colours, button-down shirts, jeans or slacks. except when he borrows clothes from Tony. also sometimes he wears skirts, preferably long and swishy.

Height? 5'6"ish

Hair color? black i.e. dark brown

Eye color? dark brown also

Body type (the more detail the better-- for instance, perhaps they have very bony wrists or super short legs)? Lithe is a good word. There's not a lot of bulk to him, but what there is is very solid.

Tattoos, piercings, scars, birthmarks, amputations, etc? Most versions of Sherlock that live past seventeen wind up with a vampire bite scar on the left side of their necks, varying in severity. None of the rest of that shit applies.

Typical expressions and/or gestures? Glances up a lot, per this icon. Tends to put his hands away—tucked in pockets, clasped behind back—unless he expects to need them for something.

Posture and movement? Stands up straight, but slouches when sitting. Tends to move in a very relaxed, unhurried way, unless he's stressed about something.

What does their voice sound like? Like RDJ!Holmes as a teenager, except when he's being someone else, in which case he sounds like RDJ!Holmes as a teenager doing a perfect imitation of whoever. Tony is a frequent target.

Hygiene routine, if any? he is a very clean person generally, but I don't have details.

Somewhat related, what do they smell like (take this one as metaphoric as you want, this is fiction)? Earl Grey.

Any physical insecurities? his issues with his body all have to do with how it got there.
