BODY LANGUAGE

What sort of body language does your character use? Do they gesture a lot or keep mostly still? Do they have nervous tics or quirks? Do they throw their whole body into every sentence or only when they're super-excited or are they rather subtle?

Answer however you want!

THE MAJOR
-Has a generally relaxed air about him, usually moving slowly, smoothly, casually, giving off the impression of being completely in control and not giving a crap.
-His face on the other hand is constantly filled with energy, especially around his mouth and eyes. He almost never stops smiling, and his mouth has a wide range of expressions from maniacal grin to smug smirk.
-The Major gestures a lot with his hands, keeping his main body still whether sitting or standing. Whether making a big speech or in casual conversation (the two bleed into each other a lot with him) expect waves, clenched fists, dramatic sweeps, salutes, arms thrown in the air, upraised palms, and other forms of visual punctuation. When not gesturing he keeps his hands folded in front of him or behind his back, or on the arms of a chair.

CALVIN
-Energy! Calvin is hyperactive and highly expressive in almost everything he does. Subtlety and restraint are things he would have little talent for even if he was old enough to be good at them. When he's happy he grins big, when he's angry he yells big, when he's sad he cries like, well, a child.
-This even carries over to Calvin at rest. An exhausted or slothful Calvin doesn't just lie down, he sprawls and slouches cartoonishly, making a production of it. He's actually made an art of his posture for TV watching, optimizing it for maximum vegetation.
-His gestures continue the theme. Puzzled, Calvin's hand goes to his chin, explaining, his hands go outward, complaining, they go high into the air. It's generally pretty hard to have doubts about what Calvin's thinking or feeling.

JACK
-For someone who gets angry so often, Jack has masterful emotional control. His face can be deeply emotive or an icy mask depending on the needs of the situation. Most of the time, when he loses his cool he's deliberately cutting loose as a tactic. He gets up close and personal for important conversations, whether out of anger or intimacy.
-His body is perpetually tense and his movements rapid, but controlled. Jack looks around, moves from monitor to monitor, leans forward. He does not fidget, but if there's an action to be taken that has a practical purpose, Jack takes it immediately, even if it's just moving up to a screen to get a closer look at a bit of data. He's always intense and poised to move.
-He almost never makes hand gestures. His hands stay down until he needs them. A lot of communication happens through his face and his eyes. He is very good at Meaningful Eye Contact.
