Try sticking to features that bring the look together. Straight black hair, exotic eyes, slightly deeper skin tone, it can all come together fairly nice without saying they look Asian. You could always toss up your ideas for descriptions here, to get a bit of help with proofreading/suggestions, but just remember that at the end of the day, it's your decision to wear the description.

There is no Asia in Achaea. Problem solved.

Honestly, the best advice I can give, is find a picture of someone you want your avatar to look like, then describe the hell out of it. People of all races/genders can have similar/different features, a slim angular jawline, high cheekbones, it just depends on exactly what you want the character to look like. Perhaps if you toss a picture up here, you could have some feedback as to how people would describe it as well.

As some basic rules for a first description, here are some things to avoid:
-No describing items of clothing
-No actions or implication of actions by the onlooker (like someone being in awe of your beauty or you winking as you see people looking at you, things like that)
-Try to avoid starting each sentence the same way like 'she has' or 'her'

I disagree. Jewelery or clothing is fine, as long as it can't interfere with the real clothing. Stuff that you can't wear in Achaea is a good example.

Do not include clothing, your gender, race, or what you are carrying or
wielding: those are already shown automatically when someone looks at you.

Further, please remember that adding clothes to your description will look silly, as they may contradict with what you are, in reality, wearing.

I've been working on a description for my human Monk, and I've got just one question: how do you describe Asian facial features? More specifically, Japanese or Korean or something similar to that. I know I can't just use "Asian" because there is no Asia in Sapience, but I want her to have that "look".

It's odd to see Amunet make a post and not see someone's e-peen flying through the air.

Where's the wit Amunet?

No, there's no Asia in Acahea. Period. Make them look Shallamese or Cyreni or something. If it's not what you invision, tough.

Meh, I'm just pissy because I spent 4 hours in the hospital because the nurse thought that I had apendicitis when it was something non-life threatening.

Amunet is -amazingly- helpful, especially ( a ) with art, and ( b ) when you are receptive to criticism.

He is a Mhun. Swept elegantly across his face, pale hair with a silvery hue
frames a noble profile and falls to slender shoulders. His starlight blue eyes
radiate warmth and kindness, humour written in the faint lines at their corners.
He is possessed of the slim figure and medium stature characteristic of his
race. An ever present wariness shows in his bearing, his movements cautious and
controlled, cautious for threats from Evil and Chaos. A deep scar begins on his
right shoulder, slashing across his chest and disappearing beneath his attire, a
relic untouched by his healing magic. Visible across the back of his neck, the
words "If only an angel's wings could shelter us all" are tattooed with a muted
shine. He is ever illuminated by a soft aura of pure white light, emanating from
his guardian angel, Evangelus. He is wearing a silver and steel armband, a suit
of splint mail bearing the House arms of the Empyreal Assembly, 2 plain gold
rings, a plain silver ring, a bag of stasis, a gold gossamer pouch detailed with
angelic glyphs, a plain platinum ring, a soft leather pack, a belt of the silver
mace, a ring of pestilence, a twinkling spiritual mace stud of bright platinum
through his left eyebrow, formal white trousers with decorative silver trim, a
radiant white and silver cloak, a priest's white robes of holy judgment, a pair
of shimmering white silk slippers, and a vest with enormous angel wings. He
walks with the highfavour of Vastar.
