little details meme

[depicted]

Icons and written text don't always give a clear impression of a character. That's what this meme is for! Describe what your character is like in person. What is their body type? Do they have any distinctive markings? Do they have an accent or unique kind of voice? Any interesting type of body language? This is especially great for any things that have changed since their arrival, particularly with the sort of alterations that have happened over the timeskip! Basically, share anything that you feel other characters would notice about yours if they ran into them in the street. order of operations i. fill out this textarea: <table><tr><td style="width: 300px; padding: 10px;"><img src="CHARACTERIMAGE" style="width: 300px; border-radius: 25px;"></td> <td style="padding: 15px 10px; vertical-align: top;"><span style="color: #66aacc; font: 25px palatino;">Character Name</span> <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Height;</span> exact measurements or a guestimate! <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Weight;</span> see above! <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Visual;</span> describe what your character looks like. if they're lanky or beefy, have distinguishing marks (scars, abundant freckles, etc). include differences from canon! <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Fashion;</span> what do they put on before leaving the house? are they a sloppy dresser? meticulous? prone to wearing jewelry or cosmetics? bright or muted tones? are their clothes costly? <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Demeanour;</span> how do they carry themselves? what's their posture? do they have any particular physical tics? how do they walk and stand? this is for anything that would fit under 'how [character] moves'! <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Aural;</span> do they stutter or stammer? do they whistle while they work? what's their accent? how deep or high is their voice? do they sound 'educated' or 'blue collar'? speak slowly or quickly? <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Olfactory;</span> perhaps only for the cr that gets reaaally close to your character on the street. how do they smell? do they wear any perfumes, any deodorants? does their work leave scent traces with them? <span style="color: #66aacc; font: 14px palatino;">Etc;</span> anything else! links to vids and gifs, or general miscellanea. Anything magically or psychically noteworthy could be put here if you like!</td></tr></table> ii. Comment to this post! Also, feel free to fiddle with the colour of the comments subject headings. Colour code your character! iii. Read the comments of others. iv. Get clarifications! Talk about how this affects your cr! Compare cool scars and recommend tailors to one another!

It's cute that his emotions are so obvious but I love to imagine how he moves with that description.

Somehow all these years and I missed that about the double irises??

There are so many details I didn't know, like about the voice and the paws.

[merelychewed]

Draco Height; Really rough guesstimate of 5-6 meters (16'-19') tall. Weight; 6-7 tons. Visual; Massive, being a dragon and all. Covered in scales that range from thick, dark, and plate-like, to finer scaling of lighter browns and tans in his face and hands. Spikes run along his back and he has a set of eight horns over the traditional two most dragons might have. On the other end, a spade-like tail tip with a surprisingly sharp edge. In Eachdraidh, he can also turn into a human; in that form, he's an older gentleman of average height and weight, with long grey hair tied back in a scruffy ponytail and a mustache. Regardless of form, his eyes are yellow. Fashion; Dragons have no fashion (although give him jewelry big enough for one and that might chang-- uh, right, anyway). In human form, his clothing doesn't usually carry over with the brown theme of his scales, as he opts for somewhat brighter options. He tends to look like a well-to-do swashbuckler (just lacking, y'know, an actual sword) or maybe a lesser nobleman of some kind. Demeanour; He carries himself with a lot of care, a large creature with the full knowledge of just how large he is and just how easily smaller things around him can break. On the ground his gait is lumbering, awkward, as though he was never quite built to walk long distances (which is true, considering he has wings), which gives him all the more reason to take care around other people. This carries over to his human form, for now, and he is unwilling to reach out and pick things up against all logical reason. In the sky is a vastly different story, where any awkwardness is shed for a speed and grace akin to any bird of prey, only on a much larger scale. Aural; He sounds pretty Scottish, as far as accents go. His voice is deep and a touch inhuman, growly, though he speaks slowly and precisely, which gives him a somewhat educated (and possibly noble-sounding) air. He also sings! And not half bad at it for a giant lizard. Olfactory; Dust and ash and fire, though his breath is..... well, he eats raw meat most of the time, so try not to get too close. Etc; hhhhmmmmmm

wow type moon has no idea how to actually do weights don't they

[oathshackledbird]

Yep, I think it is a rule of derp knights. Emotions right there, on sleeve.

Also, good god yes. I love watching him in the anime and then imagining what he moves like in game. And guiltily have like so many modern AU ideas that have him as a dancer...

[oathshackledbird]

Woot! Hot dad points! And Mer gets best daughter points! :-D

Huh it's interesting that her voice is so controlled when her face isn't.

(So ready to be stella-like.)

[dragonring]

Haha see at first he changed clothes not to stand out but his inner teen that used to play tabletop is enjoying them now. A lot. ALSO I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING besides the shoes, the other thing from home he keeps using is his college satchel. It's practical and it doesn't look that weird.

THE MAGIC OF JAY he's so great at physical and dumb comedy, that's how he ends up with all these suoer cute dorks as roles. Let's see how updated Dorian deals with the accusatory finger instead of the usual gestures. ;)

[babbylon]

I'm still boggling over Diarmuid being 40 pounds heavier and I'll probably never stop, tbh.

[showmeyourwreath]

Yeah! It's why it's my favourite, it's a very interesting juxtaposition to me, because it seems a bit incongruous but she makes it work. Like the only time I think I've ever heard her voice get rough was when Stella almost got her killed SO.

Basically if Flora ever develops a very good pokerface, you're all fucked.

But yeah i always take great pains to explain her voice because it runs counter to what one might assume. she does emote in her voice it's just she's waaaay more expressive in her face than speech. one of my favourite examples is like on her quest and influence page where she looks REALLY REALLY FUCKING HAPPY LIKE 8D LEVELS OF EXCITE but she's actually being really quiet, then. More euphoric and blissed out then gosh gosh oh my gosh levels of excited, but i don't think it's obvious just from looking.

[erythristic]

with his muscles I'd at least expect him to be around 200. throws up hands

[erythristic]

man i never expected ben to sound like that honestly

[rube]

no but what did you expect him to sound like

[erythristic]

[rube]

oh!! WELL NOW U KNOW and knowledge is power

[depicted]

NO

[depicted]

i cannot wait

[depicted]

[depicted]

OW look he'd dismiss Ruadan but he thinks the man is attached now
and it's nice to have someone bring him hot chocolate for breakfast again

OH MY GOD
