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!

What color hair does your character have? Is it long, short, unkempt or neat? What do they usually do with it? Was once a true golden blond, but is just starting to lose that bright color with some grey coming in. Usually wears his hair tied back with a strip of blue cloth, but sometimes has it down and pushed off his shoulders (with some of the bangs spilling down off to one side). He's very particular about his hair - he always makes sure his hair is clean, brushed, and without split ends.

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.
