damn gurl

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.?

Harvey is 6', but if anything sometimes he looks taller. He's got broad shoulders and a "perfect" physique; he's in good shape, muscular without overdoing it, with large slightly-calloused hands, and the skin on his good side is very smooth.

His bad side covers the left of his face, his left shoulder and left hand, and most of the left side of his neck. It does not extend further or lower than that. The skin is all rough, red-pink-brown and leathery in places, textured like bad acid burns would be. His left cheek has burnt away entirely in places, exposing his mouth in a permanent half-sneer; the teeth show, and he can never "close" his mouth all the way. Same with his eye. The eyelid has burnt away so he can't close his eye or even blink -- after years and frequent reconstruction, his left eye is blind though it always stares forward. The nails on his left hand have either yellowed or fallen off. The hairline on the left side has receded, and the hair that grows is white from shock, wiry and always more unkempt than the right.

His right side is extremely handsome. He was known for his good looks once, and it's still visible in glimpses. His eyes, blue and intense, sit at a slight angle that gives them an "arched" impression, accentuated with long upper eyelashes. He's got prominent cheekbones, a strong nose that slopes down sharply, and lips dat don't quit. This is a weird paragraph but they called him "Apollo", okay. His hair is dark brown and mildly wavy; he usually wears it slicked back so that it parts in the middle with a low widow's peak, one strand falling over his face in a Superman-curl. He's a bit "bear-ish" in that he's decently hairy; arms, legs, chest.

He doesn't always wear two-tone clothing, but he almost always does. Usually black and white, white and red, or orange and purple, with occasional other variations. He usually wears tailored suits, suspenders, pinstripes, etc. -- very "gangster"-esque fashion. How he carries himself varies wildly, because sometimes he stands straight and dignified and others he slouches, walking confidently with his legs apart. He usually has one hand in his pocket to reach for his coin or gun, and double-holsters (he carries two pieces).
