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.?

He has a strong jaw and sharp cheekbones, both still prominent despite the extra weight. He's aged well enough otherwise, showing very little wrinkles except for some around his eyes, around the corners of his mouth, and on his forehead (mostly evident when he's upset). His nose angles straight down his face but curves up slightly at the end. His forehead is a bit large and slopes upward to his hair, which is slight blonde and always worn brushed back from his face and kept in place with some pomade. His eyes are blue, often wide and alert but always very expressive, and he often is smiling be it nervously or sincere. He's still handsome, though a victim to age.

He almost always sits, walks and stands with his shoulders back and arms behind him, at his side, or on his knees (if he's sitting, during which he usually crosses one leg over the other), proper and militaristic, though being prone to anxiety and easily flustered as is his mood can affect his walk or his
