[QUOTE="Kiah, post: 2358596, member: 33610"] First of all i was a little worried about posting this becuase i thought i might sound a little too vague in the question i am asking but eventually i thought i might as well post it anyway and let the outcome speak for itself. When it comes to fleshing out a character the backround and all that comes pretty easily to me. Its more describing how the character looks. I can easily think of it in my head and imagine the character however when it comes to character appearence my vocabulary doesnt seem to be too too diverse and i often find myself sitting down with pencil and paper imagining this character in my mind and not being able to describe it with words. My question however vague is. What are some common description words for facial features, builds, shades of eyes, and other character features etc and thier meanings and how to use them in sentance when describing your character. I havea fear that i'm asking far too much and i'm worried that this post is going to sound really stupid but i decided to take the plunge and ask anyway. Hopefully i dont regret this :( Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the first character i have ever worked on fleshing out in a really detailed manner. Her name is actually the same as my Enworld User name kiah... i'm hoping to use her like some veteran D&D players do where they stay by 1 character for a long time and many session. This is why i want to put so much work into it.So i can really roleplay it well and describe it well to other players/dm etc. Thanks [/QUOTE]
