CHARACTER DETAILS MEME

[potentite]

modified from here by semantics

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? 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="INSERT IMAGE HERE" 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). <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;">Sound;</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;">Smell;</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.

Gaelio Bauduin (Vidar) - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

[reckoner]

...cheating and taking a lot of this from my info post, COUGHS.

Gaelio Bauduin Height; over 200cm / 6'6.6(ish) Weight; idek w/e is reasonable for a dude that tall who's also built Visual; PURPLE HAIR. Giant scar on the right side of his face that continues down his neck and sprawls over front/back (concentrated on right side). Blue eyes. Not too beefy, but definitely got muscle. Fashion; ...military man/noble... Even before he lost his mind and had a severe personality change, he was mostly seen in a military uniform. While in the BeforeTime he likely was more fashion conscious, following the fashion for a rich young dude, he no longer cares. He's spent two years wearing a mask and in hiding within a military branch, he's really just, totally, straight up, uniform. Then whatever's practical, I guess, shrugs @ spellbind. Demeanour; Tends to cross his arms and gesture widely (used to do so much more). Used to tug on a long gone bang. Now quite rigid. Good posture, possibly easy to tell he's been raised aristocratic (though funnily enough, it would have been less obvious before, when he was very casual and overfamiliar, and expressive in his gestures). He's a giant, so likely long strides. Sound; Has always had a highly informal way of speaking, insofar as no suffixes and all that jazz -- just very overfamiliar and inappropriately casual. But he was like, heir to one of the seven ruling families, so he could get away with it. At the same time, definitely had a dignified/refined/even at times snobbish/foppish air. His voice isn't very deep. THESE days he's more soft-spoken, serious, and ambiguous. Clips, masked and ambivalent; CONFRONTATION!!! Exception for McGillis rage ons, the really intense ones not excerpted. Smell; once upon a time totally fancy ass cologne, now just REVENGE. or however. uh. people get clean here. Etc; hi have some official art and crying gifs (also someday SLIGHTLY LONGER HAIR gif..s...) ot he's 28 and i've started jokingly calling spellbind babies r' us because everyone's like 14-16 I'M SORRY

[talim]

i haven't gotten the chance to tag (yet) but i am so excited to see a gali here (and his ex bf.......) because as a fellow person suffering in ibo hell i play both yamagi and shino

SO I REALLY JUST DID NOT TO EXPECT TO SEE OTHERS IN IBO HELL HERE........ but Welcome, friend!!!

[reckoner]

SHINO AND YAMAGI

commence shaking and crying, best boys D: ...which ok in fairness every tekkadan is best boy, but shino in particular i can't think of without getting Really Upset.

then, everytime, i think of him running around in the bg covered in kids or playing bad cop or HIS LAST SCENE and dgjf fjdndbddjd ok no i have a problem but im done

(in comparison this is what i think of gaelio please die gaelio)

....ANYWAY YES I KNOW HELL THANK YOU HELLO i am self-castigating also because Jude is from one of the few tales I haven't played but I love Tales games so I'm sure he's amazing and look forward to cr!!!

[pervasiveness]

LOOK I'M JUST GOING TO REPLY W/ MY SHINO JOURNAL

i actually considered apping yamagi before i picked jude but... i just don't feel like it'd be worth it w/o a shino??? and i don't want to app a char for one ship but ugh i love. them. so. much.

LMFAO POOR GAELIO

ahhh i'm glad you're a tales fan too! which one is your favorite out of curiosity? jude is a total sweetheart and i'm just so happy i apped him.

[reckoner]

ok cool im triggered...NO BUT HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL BE HAPPY SHINO

Omg yeah, I mean coughs loudly apping in large part for a ship who would do that not me /kicks piles of purple prose teal deer under the rug, BUT after the unending misery of that ending, rp has to be fix it...especially in a cute place like spellbind... HE NEEDS A SHINO THEY NEED TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER.

It's between Abyss and Vesperia for sure (tho let's see, destiny was my first as a babe and i replayed symphonia the most also ages ago) and i recently just about finished graces... Natalia is forever queen of my heart, but Hubert is like a zillion percent my usual type (gaelio is such an anomaly). i'm actually behind over all and still need to play zestiria and bersaria too. Jude definitely has the sweetest face ;;;;,

[pervasiveness]

DON'T WORRY I AM SO NOT JUDGING LMAO one of my good friends LOVES gali/gil so... !!! and shino's fine, he's fine, he just went on a little vacation and he'll be back soon to start planning the wedding. don't even ask me if i have written literal marriage fic?! nope not me i'd never be that self-indulgent

i can play them both so like..... if i ever find an opposite i will 1000% play one of them idc. as it stands though i feel like JUST yamagi or JUST shino (yamagi in particular, shino's more social) would be a lil rough.

abyss and vesperia are good choices!!! abyss was my first tales game so i have really fond memories associated with it... zestiria has its issues and a lot of people don't like it but i really did. berseria is just objectively the? best modern tales game? it is SO good, it's such a good revenge plot and ughfhgfjh IT'S SO GOOD.

i feel bad i'm totally spamming the meme so is it okay if i add you on plurk...

[reckoner]

gali/gil is such a cute ship name for them omg... I SHOULD BE JUDGED but /wheezy sigh of relief. anyway yeah obviously shino is fine. he's. napping. who would do that only a god among men what a saintly act for the greater good of true canon

stares into the rp world void... it's hard because given most of season 2, I can't in good conscience recommend ibo, but shino and shinoyama is like...one of the single redemptive features even in season 2 and would totally make it worth it but... (yeah shino would do ok but yamagi ;;;;)

i'm generally pretty easy to please with jrpgs and have a very strong bias for tales so i'm hoping i'll be ok-- in particular because i'm weirdly neurotic and can't play berseria until i do zestiria!!!! in my crazy head

I'M DEFINITELY SPAMMING YOU BACK so absolutely!! scuttles sorry was finishing commute... also please continue not judging me /)(\

[talim]

I JUST MADE IT UP ON THE SPOT

yeah thanks to season 2 ibo gives me nothing but salt but whenever i think about shinoyama i just? die? they're so perfect for each other? THEY WERE GOING TO GET MARRIED? the only reason it's not worth it is because... well.

i will never judge you, so many of my ships are trash ships trust me LMFAO shinoyama is Pure but do not even ask me about some of my other ships. ADDING ♥

[armigers]

6'6...........noctis is going to break his neck looking up at him. You do you, you fabulous giant purple-haired giraffe.

[reckoner]

ok but his neck has training, gaelio only has a few centimeters on gladio, you adorable raven-haired sasuke-the-improved-model

....EDITED BECAUSE I REMEMBERED HE'S OVER 200.....just can't tell from chart how many over

[armigers]

omg never mind the ignis comparison. come be Noctis' meat shield. He'll stand behind him and pretend to be productive.

[reckoner]

yeah ok at least that way he'll be useful!!! Fair trade for fishing instruction.

[argenteums]

oh my god why is he so humongous cries Prompto is a teeny weeny

[reckoner]

because ibo is ridiculous ... omg prompto really is though WHAT A CUTIE

[reckoner]

seriously i hc that to be like 203

he has thirty centimeters on prompto......nice

[antemeridian]

thanks to this i've just realized that Homura's basically looking up an entire foot and a half nearly whenever she talks to Gaelio

she clearly needs to take up the habit of perching on top of random things again.

[reckoner]

i literally was looking at your details comment before seeing this and was like oh my god he's another whole person taller than her and that other person is also taller

perching tho is very cute, please do

[antemeridian]

i'm replying to this just to make sure you don't go back and delete your shame

it's now immortalized forever

[reckoner]

god damnit

thanks for keeping me... honest...

(pictured: gaelio and mun trying to count)

[reckoner]

AND THEN I REMEMBERED HOW MATH WORKED

im tired but leaving my shame there
