Character Appearances

Character Appearances

What does your character look like?

Often when people are roleplaying they pick a face claim (fc). This is basically a famous person who looks like your character. For example, my OC Prysm’s face claim is Phoebe Tonkin.

Many people also like to make moodboards. These are essentially a collection of images which represent the character. To make them I use PicsArt but any collage app will work. I then search for images I want using with weheartit or Tumblr in the search bar. This is because those images are incredibly aesthetic.

I also once made my OC using Sims. This was a good visual aid.

However, you don't have to do that. If you're artistic you could draw them.

But first you can describe them using the following questions.

What colour are their eyes? Does this have significance (like with golden eyes) or is it just their eye colour?

What's their hair colour? Does that have significance? What about texture? Curly or straight?

What's their hair like? Messy or tamed? Do they put great effort into their appearance or not? This can contribute to the personality of a character. 

Tall or small?

Skin tone?

Glasses? Contacts? Hearing aids? Etc.

Tattoos? If so, do they have any significance?

Freckles, moles, scars or any marks?

Do they wear makeup? Heavy or light? Why do they wear it?

How do they dress normally? What their style? What's their favourite outfit? Suits? Tshirts? Dresses? Shoes!!!!
