Character appearance meme!
Little 100 x 100 pixel boxes don’t cover your character entirely, not to mention a bunch of our people have had some time away from home before ending up in Rookshire. We’ve all been asking about Discord what our people look like and bemoaning the need for a meme—here’s one I wrote up! Be descriptive…I don’t know about everyone else, but this is my jam. Feel free to add any details you feel like are missing. I just made this up!
Prompto | FFXV
What color eyes does your character have? Blue
About how old does your character look? Early 20's
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? Enthusiastically! He generally has a bounce in his step. But, when things are serious, he shrinks and closes himself off. If he's standing around by himself it's more likely that he'll be fidgeting a bit.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! He's not allowed to grow facial hair. So sayeth Gladio Amicitia, someone who does not appreciate Prompto with fuzz.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? He likes tank tops and pants. He currently has a "Check Meowt" tank, with his standard pants. Clothes are worn out frm frequent use. Potentially lots of weak spots or little tears. He also has his winter coat which likely has some cuts from being used as a barrier against glass.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? Not much jewelry-wise. He keeps his camera around and has a holster for his gun. He had a bracelet that he no longer worries about and a bandana on his arm. Some fingerless glove.
What kind of shoes does your character have? Boots! Very worn boots.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? None. He has a snowmobile but he had to leave it behind in the first storm...
What (if any) scars does your character have? Minor stretch marks, not much in the way of scars.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? He had a barcode on his wrist at one time. He has a new tattoo covering it up now that goes around his wrist.
Does your character have a birthmark? If freckles count
How tall is your character? 5'8"
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? Lean, a little too thin after being away from home so long.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? He still looks and acts fairly young, and he doesn't end up looking all that much older over time.
Spirit Albarn | Soul Eater | Of course I'm tagging this, come ON
What color eyes does your character have? Blue. Looking closely, he doesn't have pupils, just the blue of his iris. It's a Weapon trait and genetic.
This is hands down one of the weirdest things to insert into a tag.About how old does your character look? Spirit is 37 and he looks his age. Got a bit of wrinkles forming, generally eyes that suggest he's Seen Some Shit, and there is definitely some silver-gray in his hair. That said, he tends to be fairly cheerful and positive, which can make him seem a bit younger than his age.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? Slouchy slouch. Spirit is stupidly tall and very aware of it--unless there's something that requires him to stand up straight, he's not going to. He will be slouching so he doesn't look like a giant. However, when it's necessary he absolutely pulls himself to his full height.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! He's clean shaven if he can manage, which means if someone lets him borrow a knife/razor or there's no moon (he'll shave himself with his Weapon form scythe blade if he can). So a good portion of the month he's got some good reddish stubble growing, but it doesn't get terribly long even if left to its own devices. There is maybe also some gray in stubble too don't tell him
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? He's in the exact clothes from most of his icons: olive green shirt, black dress pants and suit jacket, strangely-shaped cross tie and black dress shoes. Different variations of this happen at different times--he ditches the jacket and tie pretty often if he can, but it's not really weather related. He doesn't mind the heat.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? I'm not sure what they are called, but those bitty little crosses on his shirt collar. He also wears, under the shirt, an antique cross on a gold chain. Long story and headcanon, but I do what I want. It was his mom's.
What kind of shoes does your character have? Black dress shoes that have seen better days.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? None
What (if any) scars does your character have? Lots. He's got scattered combat-related scars, and they look like it. A pretty deep gouge in his lift side, several smaller cuts and scrapes scattered around his back and shoulders. He's also got a deeper scar on his left leg.
He's also got a lot of anatomical scars. They're way too neat to be from combat, and there's a faint outline of stitches along them. One is on his neck, usually hidden by the collar of his shirt. There are two neat, distinct scars along his right arm, all the way down to his wrist. There's a midline scar on his abdomen, right above his belly button. One long scar runs across his chest, under the pectoral muscles. There's one on his right leg, from the hip to the knee.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? None! Boring old man.
Does your character have a birthmark? No.
How tall is your character? Spirit is stupidly tall at about 6'10". Hence the perpetual slouching.
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? A string bean. Dressed he looks long, lanky and thin. He's actually mostly muscle and quite strong, but you wouldn't know from looking at him. He's thinned out since being in Genessia, but it isn't terrible and since he trains it's not obvious.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? Spirit has an entirely different form, turning into a Weapon. His Weapon form is a long, black scythe with a cross before the blade. There are a few scattered scratches in the metal from years of being used as a weapon. Anyone that looks carefully into the blade of the scythe while he's transformed will be surprised by reflection like this (I couldn't find a picture of Spirit). The Weapons are definitely not dressed in their Weapon form...presumably depending upon the angle, you can see things. Please see icon for An Idea.
Spirit can also use form manipulation, meaning he's able to sprout scythe blades from limbs/his torso/whatever as he chooses. This could mean changing just an arm into a blade, or changing his hand into a blade or conversely popping shoulder and torso out of the blade when it's fully transformed.
I AM SORRY I RAMBLED BUT HERE YOU ARE FRIENDOS
no subject
What color eyes does your character have? Slate blue. Her eyes really are a window to her soul, too. No matter what she's feeling, it shows up in her eyes.
About how old does your character look? At youngest, she looks to be 18. At oldest, she might be able to pull off 22. She's actually 19, but her bright, hyper nature tends to work against her when she tries to look older.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? Most of the time, she's in too much of a hurry to Do Things to pay attention to how she's carrying herself. When she's upset or nervous however, she tends to wrap her arms around herself and curl in on herself. Interestingly enough, she does not have that reaction to fear. Fear makes her stand up straight and face it head on.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! For having been in this hospital for who knows how long, her legs are surprisingly hair free.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? Bright, vibrant colors with bold patterns. Lots of denim. Mix of tight crop tops and overly baggy shirts. She's also the only person in Rook who has more than one or two outfits.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? None, though she does have pierced ears.
What kind of shoes does your character have? Sneakers. Beaten up and scribbled on.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? Nothing
What (if any) scars does your character have? At first glance, not many. Upon closer inspection, she has what look like surgical scars all over her torso and arms. Even a few on her ankles and one particularly bad one in the inside of her left thigh.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? A small pattern of dots just under her hairline at the nape of her neck.
Does your character have a birthmark? Freckles.
How tall is your character? 5'6
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? She's thin, but built like she could be curvier. Decent sized breasts, perky ass...but all of it a little wasted potential because there is no muscle tone under all those would be curves.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? For as bright and bubbly as she is, she is a little flinchy. Move too fast in her peripheral or reach for her face without warning her and she flinches like she's expecting something.

What color eyes does your character have? Dark brown eyes. Very no nonsense. She could stare down a terrorist with that look. Ask her about it sometime.
Don't ask her about it sometime.About how old does your character look? She's 32, but doesn't really look it. She's weather beaten, world weary, and travel worn...but in the way that somehow works? She's very rarely ever guessed to be over 28....but that meant that she was carded for forever.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? The word 'hunch' is not in her vocabulary. Scott carries herself like she knows how her body works and, more importantly, how to work it. Then again, anyone who wakes up early enough can see her go through her morning yoga and kickboxing stretches so it isn't much of a leap to think that she could fight if push came to shove. She's very used to being the only woman in a room of powerful men, so she tends to have far more masculine body language.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! She's been in a hospital for the past 4 1/2 months. Legs are harder to shave with knives than faces and really...who the fuck cares? She sure doesn't.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? Very utilitarian. Sturdy canvas cargo pants with more pockets than most coats, tank top in a neutral beige. An olive green button down that is about six sizes too big for her, but she rolls up the sleeves and ties the bottom up. It used to belong to her husband. He still can't find it.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? A simple, thin gold band around her left ring finger. It is designed to be overlooked and forgotten.
What kind of shoes does your character have? Boots. Big, heavy duty, ankle supporting boots.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? None
What (if any) scars does your character have? Oh, lots. Most of them are little knicks here and there, nothing of any real note. The three major ones are restraint marks circling each wrist and a huge burn that covers the back of her neck and her shoulders down to about mid back.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? None.
Does your character have a birthmark? None that are noticeable.
How tall is your character? 5'6
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? Kind of a stick. No boobs to speak of, not really any ass. She's the build that you just want to hand a sandwich to...except that she has muscle tone. She's strong and has the muscles to prove it. It leaves her looking a little too athletic, but she doesn't really care.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? She wears an underarm holster for her gun on her left side.

Also I would love if they sparred!!

What color eyes does your character have? Vivid, bright blue eyes.
About how old does your character look? Liam probably looks his age, though his youthful manic energy might make him seem younger. The fugitive life hasn't pampered him at all and there are signs of age on his face, especially around his eyes and forehead - but he does take good care of his body (eats well, doesn't drink heavily, doesn't smoke tobacco, stays in shape). However, he's something of a silver fox, and probably looks more handsome as an older man than he did when he was younger.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? Energetically; saunters around like he's a young man. Always stands tall with his shoulders back.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! Has a well-trimmed beard; hates when it becomes shaggy. Checks himself in the mirror daily.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? In canon: Mature punk aesthetic. Long coats, single-color shirts, metal belts, lots of holsters. In the timeline where he becomes a galactic commander, he wears a black jacket with a shoulder guard for that sweet space supervillain cred.
In rookshire, he's cut the sleeves off of a hoodie, and cut a pair of sweatpants to the knee. This will show off his short-arm sleeve tattoos, as well as some scars on his legs. See below.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? I headcanon that Liam used to have all sorts of piercings when he was younger, but now has traded them for just a silver earcuff or two. Easier to maintain, and he has less people to impress.
Also has a silver neuroimplant with red LEDs positioned on his temples, which hasn't been upgraded whatsoever since his youth and is kind of old and worn out. Has a cable at the base of his skull that is covered by his hair.
What kind of shoes does your character have? He brought some blue-and-white knee-high hiking boots from his homeworld. Likes the whole knee-high boots aesthetic in general, honestly. When it is hot as hell, though, he might prance around barefoot until someone gives him some shoes.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? Well, his neuroimplant regulates a thing or two. Cyborg privileges.
What (if any) scars does your character have? His leg and parts of his lower body are scarred up from when he got his ass kicked by shrapnel/debris from a close-range bomb and had to wait without medical care for ten days. His right leg is worse than the other, but both have a couple of poorly-healed large gash scars flecked with smaller ones around it. Otherwise, he just has a few cuts here and there peppering his lower body. Also, Ardyn's sword wound left a raised scar on his left bicep due to crit failing, yeah!
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? Has two blue short-sleeve tattoos that nearly wholly cover the skin around his upper arm; the pattern extends up his shoulders, on his upper back, and almost to his chest. The pattern is mostly thin lines and circles that resemble the line patterns that might appear on a moth's wing (but more abstract).
Does your character have a birthmark? No.
How tall is your character? 5'8".
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? Liam is lean and somewhat muscular, though not notably so. On the scale of FF15 cast members, not even touching Gladio, but more than Prom. Maybe something like this? [image of a naked man, though nothing explicit]
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? Usually, Liam puts on a smile until things are at their very worst - then he gets serious. But you can tell exactly how Liam is feeling by looking in his eyes - while he 'puts on' an expression quite often, his eyes never lie. If he's angry, his eyes will reflect a deep fury, whether or not he's got a smile on his face. If looks could kill, man. But if he likes you, his eyes will positively fawn over you. At this point, he's probably looking at most of the Rookshire peeps with affection.
no subject
Spirit wants affection pleaseSpirit needs to see the neuro implant like...for real. So he can react to it.
no subject
What color eyes does your character have? Gold/yellow with powers, dark blue without. (humor me, the anime coloring's a little inconsistent
About how old does your character look? 33, but a very tired 33.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? Ardyn rarely stands rigidly upright, but he does conduct himself in exaggerated gestures and a somewhat ambling walk possibly indicative of an old injury. He's also prone to minor fidgeting when standing still, often putting his hands on his hips or shifting from one foot to the other.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! Perpetually with a 5 o'clock shadow.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? So many layers it'll make your head spin. While he doesn't have the wing accessory anymore, in brighter light he tends to wear a hat. Occasionally in lower light he goes without both it and the coat.
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? N/A
What kind of shoes does your character have? Boots skirting the line between function and whatever Ardyn thinks passes for 'fashion'.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? N/A
What (if any) scars does your character have? One large impalement wound in the center of his chest, a number of disorganized slashes across his back, smaller stab wounds through both palms and a few more matching ones scattered on his upper body. He keeps them all covered whenever anyone's within sight. I don't CARE that canon says he doesn't have them, that's BORING
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? N/A
Does your character have a birthmark? N/A
How tall is your character? 6'5"
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? He's much thinner than his clothes make it look, but in good physical shape otherwise. Mostly he's just kind of a beanpole.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? If powers are on and he starts to get particularly stressed, angry, or injured, he tends to look...unwell.

What color eyes does your character have?
The best word to describe Gladio's eyes is "amber". Sometimes they look more brown but usually they are either bright gold or a rich ruddy gold depending on lighting and always intense.
About how old does your character look?
He is 34 now but he probably looks a few years older. Years of darkness and hardship took a toll on all of them.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down?
Most of the time Gladio seems larger than life and not just because of his size. He's a big guy, sure, but he also has a big personality and a big heart and is the kind of lovable clown that just takes over a room. He also has a bad habit of leaning. Anyone who's had a big dog or large horse knows the type. Like holding up his own mass is just too much effort. Walls, people, furniture, animals... if he won't squish it, it's fair game.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability!
Beard~ He honestly misses being able to keep his beard as neat as he could before the Night fell but that became more and more impractical. His beard is restored to it's former precision during the storm while they have running water and the rest of the month he just does his best to keep it trimmed. How effective that is depends on how they're doing water wise.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire?
Dress? Wait you mean clothes!? Okay Gladio is allergic to shirts, pretty much, and the shorts he arrived with were ruined in the window fiasco. So he has a couple pairs of sweat pants and wrap shorts he's made from the sheets. Better clothes coming soon?
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear?
Gladio wears a necklace at all times. I have headcanon that it was made for him as a Crownsguard graduation gift from Iris. The single skull bead that Ignis wears looks like it may well match Gladio's beads, his were just painted gold.
What kind of shoes does your character have?
The boots from his Kingsglaive uniform
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? Leo is a large (350lbs on a good day) golden tiger with pale orange and pink lilies blooming in his fur and thin spiky leaves that fill out his ruff and feather around his huge paws. The tigerlily is rarely away from Gladio and has been trained to act as a PTSD service animal as well as knowing some guide commands for Ignis.
What (if any) scars does your character have?
Canon: vertical over his left eye (bar fight), horizontal across his forehead (Gilgamesh), massive slash diagonally across his chest (Gilgamesh), a metric fuckton of smaller scars.
LifeAftr: a small star shaped scar on his left wrist (where a flower vine punctured the skin), a large burst on the back of his right upper arm (humerus was badly broken and burst through the flesh of his arm.) a small neat knife wound on his left hip, dangerously close to the goods.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have?
The eagle obviously. As well as a small crown that's kind of an awkward angle on the inside of his right ankle
Does your character have a birthmark?
Does the Eagle count?
How tall is your character?
6'6"
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between?
Beef, pure grade A beef
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character?
Ignis Scientia | FFXV/Life Aftr CRAU
What color eyes does your character have? Originally, he had bright green eyes with just a hint of blue in them. Now, his eyes are clouded, covered with a white/silver-blue film. His right eye is always open, but the left is usually closed due to all the scarring. He can open his left eye, though, and will do so when hit with unusually strong emotion.
Bonus information: Despite the damage done to his eyes, the tear ducts in both still work!
Look, I never said it was happy information. Just that it was bonus information.About how old does your character look? Early to late twenties. (He is currently 24 thanks to two birthdays on Enso.) This is a large gap, but it depends a lot on his hair style (bangs down makes him look much younger) and how serious/tense he is. He had to make people much older than him listen to him in council meetings and such, so he learned young how to make himself appear older with mere expression and poise.
How does your character carry themselves? Do they stand tall, or kind of hunch down? As mentioned above, Ignis generally carries himself tall and with a poise beyond his years unless he is extremely comfortable with someone. At that point, he will relax to a posture a bit more common for a man in his mid-twenties. He can also go from relaxed to battle ready at the drop of a hat, so it is really best not to surprise him when at all possible.
Clean-shaven or a beard? Feel free to cover the entirety of the month as powers may impact shaving ability! Clean shaven (and more than just his face coughs). It doesn't matter what time of the month it is. He may have to let other things go, but remaining clean-shaven is a must.
How does your character usually dress? How are they dressed now in Rookshire? Dress suits or his Crownsguard uniform were musts for Ignis back home, but Ignis was pulled here while he was dressed in the clothes he was using as pajamas on Enso, so he's currently wearing a gray sleeveless tank top with a rainbow stripe across the top and dark track/sleep pants. He does have a long sleeve button up shirt, slacks and shoes as an alternate outfit, but they were already worn from use on Enso, so he saves those for when he is going out exploring/to a city so they stay as nice as they can. After all, who knows when they will get more REAL clothes?
What, if any, jewelry/”adornments” does your character wear? He always has his necklace with the skull pendent on it on. If powers are working, he may also be wearing a pair of sunglasses with lightly glowing sigils on the bows as they allow him to see. Finally, he is always wearing a wide metal bracelet with a large stone in the middle of it. When powers are working, the bracelet allows him to scan writing into braille and also can alert him to emergency beacons that go off near to him.
What kind of shoes does your character have? Worn black dress shoes, though he only wears them when going outside.
What kind of mobility or assistive devices (if any) does your character use? Ignis does have a carved walking stick that Ardyn made for him, but he doesn't use it unless he is going into an area he's not familiar with. He also has the sunglasses mentioned above. Finally, Rory, his firebird, has been trained to act as a seeing-eye bird to help guide him in unfamiliar areas. Leo, Gladio's tigerlily, also has been trained to guide him as well as help with any PTSD/trigger episodes much like he does for Gladio.
What (if any) scars does your character have? Ooh boy, here we go. The most obvious are the ones on his face from wearing the Ring--the patch over his left eye and the smaller ones on his lip, nose, and right eyebrow. He also has a very old, thin scar down the back of his left arm, likely from a training accident. Those are the canon ones. Head canon/ones from his previous game include a jagged scar around the base of his middle finger from wearing the Ring, and a lot of very thin, rather random wavy lines down the side of his neck, over his left side and down his left arm from a nasty run in with an Oolick. (Acid monsters are not good things to come into contact with!) Painfully enough, these scars look almost like they could be scars from wearing the Ring had more of them survived.
What (if any) tattoos does your character have? Only a few people know it, but he has a dagger though a crown about an inch diagonally down from his left hip. It was gotten in celebration of completing his Crownsguard training.
Does your character have a birthmark? He has several moles on his face, including one that has been covered by the scarring around his eye. He also has several little marks that may be acne scars or just smaller birthmarks on his face. I tend to go with the acne scar theory but YMMV.
How tall is your character? 6 foot
Body habitus—is your character heavy, thin, somewhere in between? In game, Ignis' build is very much a gymnast or acrobat build. His fighting style is very acrobatic with spins and flips meant to get him into attack or help someone and then back out again before he can be attacked. He is lean, but has a very strong core. He tried to keep this up as much as possible while on Enso, but lack of proper food has caused him to slim down. This is probably most noticeable in his face thanks to those high cheekbones.
Anything else you have in your head when you picture your character? One main note to keep in mind is that he has made the conscious choice to remain connected to Ardyn's Armiger instead of defaulting back to Noctis' so that means any time he summons something from it (be it a stored item or a weapon) or uses one of his magical abilities (most notably Regroup) there will be a magenta glow to it instead of a blue one.
He also always has one of his daggers near at hand. If you can't see it, its in the Armiger. If the Armiger is off, it's still easily accessible ESPECIALLY if you can't see it.
...
Also, on pain of Gladio, I am told I must mention somewhere that Ignis almost always has a hickey of some kind. Usually along his collarbone or neck.
