This is a bit of an experimental thread and I'm not sure if people will be interested in it, but it sounded fun so let's see how it goes!
You most likely have a vision of how you see your OCs which might strongly differ from others' vision of your characters. Some things that are obvious to you may not be obvious to others, and vice versa, so seeing what others notice most about your character can be an interesting read.
In this thread, you write a description of another person's character in your own style and vision.
Rules and guidelines
▶︎ Claim IC as the OC you'd like described before editing your post! That way you don't get ninja'd.
▶︎ Stay civil, don't insult the character or go beyond playful joking and IC judgment.
▶︎ Only use characters who have at least knee-up artwork! You can specify if only some artwork in their gallery is to be used for the description and to add design notes in your claim.
▶︎ I hate imposing minimums, but please write at least four sentences, preferably at least a decent paragraph. You can go all in and write as much as you wish for the upper limit.
▶︎ Up to you if you write something down to earth, something more literary, or a mix. You can even make your OC describe them!
▶︎ Posting in this thread gives the person you're writing for permission to use your description, if clearly credited.
▶︎ You can structure your description however you wish, no guidelines. But if you don't know what to write, here are some ideas:
▸Body: age; height, weight, and their relation to the character's fat and muscle distribution; shoulder, chest, waist, and hip ratio; notable scars, freckles, tattoos, and markings; body hair and/or fur; bodily health and cleanliness; extra or missing appendages; other notable features; poses, posture, and the story they tell through them.
▸Face: details about the nose (length, bridge, tip); eyes (shape, colours); jawline; mouth and teeth; facial hair and (eye)brows; ears; facial markings and tattoos; jewellery and piercings; resting and prominent expressions and demeanour you can tell from their art as well as the personality and attitude it radiates
▸Hair: style, colour, length, texture, highlights, cleanliness, care taken for it.
▸Clothing: prominent pieces of clothing worn; layers that are visibly worn above each other; fashion style and time period; personal style intertwined into it; weather they're dressed for; class; care for looks.
▸Other things: magic used; special objects they have with them; special effects like a glitch.
Some examples
(Using my guy Florence for the examples)
Down to earth description
"This man - named Florence, I've heard - is a small athletic built demon. He dresses for the cold, meaning that above his green wool shirt with olive markings, his green wool trousers, and that light brown battleskirt he wears around the waist, he also wears some equally thick pieces. A long sleeved shirt, the body is dark green and the sleeves are a lighter green in colour; a sturdy black leather tunic, its elegance coming from the horizontal layers of the leather and the metal parts that decorate the shoulders of the piece as well as the two insignias on the chest area; a dark green wool overshirt over the leather, and a thick cloak draped over his shoulders.
What is most notable about him isn't his clothing, but his face and his actions. He looks a bit older thanks to his goatee and prominent bags under his emerald eyes, but his round face looks more fitting for a younger teen. Long brown hair that's well taken care of partially covers his pointed ears, which together with his short black horns and a tail that ends in an arrowhead gives away his species. Should he take off his many layers, it'd be visible that he has well built arms and shoulders."
Literary description
"In front of me I see a young demon with a worn out face and a lot of layers to his clothing. Looks like he just got out of a blizzard, but I don't remember it being that cold outside. He must be tired judging by the bags under his green eyes and the slight annoyance to the tone of his voice. He keeps on his cloak despite being inside. Combined with his chestpiece, his overshirt, the pelt wrapped around his waist, those green wool trousers, and the thick leather boots, he looks like he's not far away from a heat stroke.
He looks rich, a little pretentious, judging from the leather and metal composition of the chestpiece under his cloak and overshirt that he refuses to take off. I've seen him pass a ball of light between both gloved hands in his time I've been observing him. He doesn't seem all too scared to use forbidden magic, and despite his height he stands proud and mighty, like he's above anyone he meets here."

Claim! (Do one for him please ^^ )
Edit: sorry about that, fixed!
The rather tan person stands at 5 foot 5. With their forked tongue and pointed teeth, the permanent scowl works with them well.Their red hair, short and slightly curled, not displaced, but rather layered. They may be a writer, but they can still probably lift more than you with their broad shoulders and strong arms. Their long, pointed, and upturned nose suits the rest of their facial features just right.

"I guess that's as accurate as I could put this entry down for the databanks."
"I see young man with semi long blond hair and blue eyes. He has a rather thin body type, pretty much like mine. Robi is wearing generally purple clothes that fit well with his overall looks.
His outfit is giving good fantasy-esque vibes that I particularly like. They're rather simple, not overloaded, so pretty easy to fit in.
He has a confident look on his face and he sure looks adventurous and brave, I can see that in his stance too. But he seems like a friendly person though, I could easily get along with him if I had the chance, though I don't know if he'd bear me and my constant flow of puns haha !
When I first saw him, I thought of a gunner or something close to that and I was right !"
claiming @sevenlole
I am trying :D writing in english isn't is not my best strength
Yuki's face was round in shape. His nose was small and barely noticeable. The cheeks had a reddish tint. Yuki's hair was tied together in two little ponytails at the back of hear head. His forehead was framed by straight fringes. He made a self-assured appearane. His stature is firm and yet feminine. He had grown big for a woman.
Yuki had a bright smile that would charm anyone. His clothes were childishly playful but not too revealing. He wore high stockings and light blue shoes. The colors of her cropped shirt resembled a watermelon. Just like his hat that she loved to wear.
"Strong. I mean in a manner that you're very well-built. Do you work out?" He hums gently, scratching his chin, "You're very tall- I don't know if that's just something known to where you're from." He smiles, and he spends a few quiet, awkward moments looking at Nicolai. "You stand out in a crowd- what, with your cybernetics. That's no insult, of course, just an observation. Lots of piercings- brown haired with that short, shaved beard, of sorts.. You dress like a doctor- you smell like a doctor's office, too." He nods to himself, "Sharp, blue eyes that would stand out in any crowd, too. Your hair style's pretty well-kept, but wild. A strong face, too. You have strong features." He smiles, and he seems finished, "Sorry if that was weird."
@RaykayRa :O sevenhole haha so many people made that one but it's okay you didn't say that on purpose I bet xD
However, Yuki is a boy :O I know you cannot tell that just by looking at the profile picture but I just wanted to inform you about that :O
Anyway, besides that your description is very accurate !
Please skip me
@sevenlole
xD I corrected it I am so sorry. xD. I thought I have looked at his gender. silly me
SKIP ME
(i'm gonna bump this topic and yall can't stop me (darkrai i just loved ur character to much OOP) )
Ayleth was a king. Royality had seeped its way into the way he moved, the way he held his head high. There was just this aristocratic aura surrounding the Dainty. Roswell could almost taste it. Ros was familiar with the rich, but never actually met a King until today. And for the first time Roswell felt outclassed. Out shined.
Ayleth was a good swordsman , the subtle way how the man moved is hands, his sturdy feet work gave that away. But there was no rage in the king. No frenzy. Ayleth was a kind soul, his blue eyes where soft, and some would call them even gloomy. Silence lay over the kings shoulder as a thick unbreakable armor.
But by the Void, Ayleth was young.
His face was round, almost childishly round, and had a small button like nose in the middle of it. The lordship did not had 'human' ears, but soft furred pink coloured ears pricked through the same soft coloured hair. Only the horns Ayleth possessed was like a crack in his childlike appearance. They however weren't intimidating enough to scare the thief away. Roswell wanted money, easy game and jewels.
And even an king as impressive as the young Ayleth couldn't make his blood run cold.
"Gran' so mr fancy drawers," Roswell said, his words sounded low and utter throatily in comparison with to silent kings voice, "let's dance."
Roswell stood above others, even if it was just a bit. His black hair looked a tad off, most likely due to self trimming. Grey showed through his side cuts, revealing Roswell's age. A playful smirk pushed across his face underneath a long mustache. A single grey eye was filled with youthful vigor while time wrinkled the skin. He straightened an elegant suit of black and gray while making his eyepatch the next target. Properly straightened now, he could be considered quite a good visage.
(Person below me, that was awesome! <3)
