RPDESC2

Example of a GOOD description (legal)

He looks rather malnourished, his body being lithe and lanky. His deathly pale skin almost

glows translucently when light strikes his body just so. Standing at only a little over five feet

his small form hangs almost lethargically. His eyes are like two large red dark pools of blood,

leaving little space for the whites to show, and are accented by his dark sunken sockets.

His shoulder-length black hair is straight and wispy further adding to his deathly presence,

and yet adds a hint of unhinged wildness. His movements are small and calculated, with the

grace of a specter.

-

Not ONLY do you know what he looks like, but you know with great detail, and also giving you

insight on how he is perceived to carry himself. Remember, adverbs are only legal when used

correctly. He obviously looks very unhealthy, and hardly pleasant looking.

Writing a desc:

1) What colour would your like your eyes to be?

2) Body type: Thin, lanky, athletic, muscular, overweight, unhealthy?

3) Hair colour, and length?

Style of hair?

4) Tattoos, or other markings?

Locations? Make sure they're "visible".

5) Skin pigmentation? Glory of 4D is that you can be whatever you want (within reason).

7) Your favorite colours? Why not personalize some more and add some colour to things?

8) Temperament? To you always look angry? Depressed? Or purky a Kender. Please god no..
