Because icons aren't always the most accurate, tonight's not!meme asks you to describe your character's physical appearance. Height, weight, eye and hair color, build, distinguishing marks, etc. And if they've had any physical changes since arriving in the City (i.e., new robo-arm, sporting a rad eyepatch, suddenly becoming a human) you can share that as well!

Alastair is about 6' give or take, with dark red hair and gray eyes. He needs to start going to a gym because his muscles aren't going to stay as he gets older. He's still very thin, though, product of a fast metabolism considering how much take-out he eats. He keeps his hair short (pretty much exactly like his icons) because if it gets too long it starts poofing out like it did when he was a kid. He doesn't wear midriff-exposing shirts anymore. Maybe if he starts going to the gym he'll have the abs for it again. He does have rather petite features but not anime proportions, obviously.
Geddoe is at least 6'2", broad-shouldered, thickly-muscled in the arms and chest and back from wearing armor ALL THE TIME. Very trim and fit, not that he ever shows any skin except for his face and neck. Hair is black, eyes are dark gray (I sense a trend...), he is usually clean-shaven and I headcanon that he is not all that hirsute since a mercenary who lives in the bush for weeks at a time doesn't have the opportunity to shave a lot, and yet he has no facial hair. The icons really are exactly what he looks like, high cheekbones, long nose, manly chin and jawline. Underneath the eyepatch there is nothing left of his eye, it's just a thick mass of scar tissue encompassing the eye and cutting slightly up into his eyebrow. It's rather ugly. Anyone who was with him in Greenland saw it for real, since he took the eyepatch off after being Transfigured by Tonks. He wears his leather armor most of the time and his gloves almost always, but if anyone caught him without the gloves they'd see the True Lightning Rune on his right hand, and a regular Lightning rune on the left, as very very faint symbols like extremely faded henna tattoos. In the right light you'd miss them completely.
