What does your character look like?

Because icons aren't always the most accurate, today'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!  And if you use a PB, who are they, why did you pick them,etc.?

Kang is large for his particular type of draconian, with a height of seven feet and a very muscular build. He is humanoid, with a tail, large wings (18 ft span when fully extended), fangs, claws, yellow eyes with slit pupils, curling horns much like a ram's, and scales that have a dark bronze sheen to them. The edges of the scales have a tarnished look to them. He typically wears a blue cloth kilt and white tunic that is specially designed to accommodate his wings, along with a blue vest and a waterproof dark blue cloak when he needs to look official; all of said clothes are very good quality and look straight out of the medieval era. He forgoes shoes, as his legs and feet are digitigrade, instead of plantigrade like a human's. His right hand is covered in scars, centered mostly on the palm, and the damage heavily suggests that he almost lost the pinky and ring finger; there is also a noticeable large scar on his back (right next to his spine), and on the back of his left thigh along with a few other minor ones here and there.

Also because of his non-human anatomy, he can make a wider range of sounds. He's capable of very deep, even subsonic, sounds in his chest, and can even do a handful of ultrasonic sounds in the back of his throat. Nasal sounds are impossible, though, due to the nasal cavity being a different shape. His normal speaking voice is very deep, probably about an octave lower than Keith David's, and definitely not human.

Kang's accent is somewhat similar to Romanian, but not quite; it's not as heavy, and the vowel pronunciation is not the same. Because of the shape of his mouth, soft sounds come out more as hisses or growls, and some of them are just flat out impossible for him to make, like soft d and t. It's also impossible to roll the r, like in burro or arroz. He speaks a fair bit of Dwarven, and fluent Nerakese and Common. Common is largely the same as American English, but a few of the words here and there are completely different and not from any Earth language.

He's very self-confident, but not to the point of being arrogant. He's also sociable and has no problem starting up a conversation with others when in the market, at a restaurant, or at a bar. It's obvious from his bearing to anyone that's been around military before that he was a soldier and that he was an officer. He has no problem with being blunt (but diplomatically) with others if they're being stupid or rude, and has absolutely no problem whatsoever with defending himself and even killing if he needs to. Body-language wise, his face isn't quite as expressive as a humans; the most important things to pay attention to are his wings and tail. They pretty clearly broadcast his mood. A particular quirk of his is that when he's thinking fairly deeply about something, the very tip of his tail will start swaying back and forth a bit.

His gift from Lachesis looks almost exactly like Daniel Dae Kim because damn that man is built and he just fits perfectly in my mind and did from the first time I saw his face when searching for a human PB. He has black hair that tends to curl when it grows out, dark brown eyes, very prominent cheekbones, and tan skin. The main difference is that he's 6'4", looks as if he's in his late 20's or early 30's, and that he keeps the scars from his normal body. It was much more obvious when he first was in the city, but there's still a subtle way that he moves and sometimes smiles that isn't really human. He keeps the accent as well, though he can pronounce softer sounds much more easily.

He prefers t-shirts, jeans, and workboots, in monochrome colors, stuff that's durable and simple and not very expensive or gaudy. He has a handful of shirts with logos for classic rock bands, doesn't wear jewelry, and keeps his hair short and his face shaved because hair is annoying and he'll never get used to it. :|
