Describe the Character Above You

#1

Post by Slam »

The rules of this thread are simple: the first poster will name one of their characters, and the next person will describe their mental image of that character. They will then name one of their characters, and so-on.

Note that the idea is not to look at the appearance section of their profiles and copy what was written there. Describe them as you imagine them when you read their name. This may or may not incorporate in-game events; it depends on whether that impacts your image of them.

Think along the lines of more than just face features and clothing; also consider expressions or stance or demeanour, or even actions they might be doing.

The idea is to get an impression of how your characters appear to other people, which is hopefully of interest to you as a writer. It's also a chance to practice describing how other people appear.

I would say focus on V7 characters for now since that's the active version. There's no rule about how fast you can respond, as long as you give a description of the person above you. I would suggest not describing the same handler's characters twice though, since they'd probably appreciate a broad perspective.

First person to post gets to pick their character first, so go for it!

Camilla as I'm imagining her has a green sweater on, a gray skirt and flats. On the simpler side, but it's befitting for what I know of her and how she is.

The shoes are dirty, her skirt is marked and rumpled, and the sweater could have been snagged in a few places, her hair is a mess, and Camilla herself looks both tired and panicked at the same time. Like she just had that thing I don't know the name of where someone's on the verge of falling asleep and then they jolt awake happen to her. And that shows in how she generally carries herself and acts physically.

Putting Julien's name in here.
