She is a powerful Troll and is a vision, of a sort. Brynja would easily stand seven feet tall if not for her hunched stance which permits her knuckles to graze along the ground. Her broad, snaggle-toothed smile easily lights up any room (assuming, of course, that the room is filled only with other trolls or extremely drunken dwarves). Brilliant green eyes sparkle from under her thick, furrowed brow. Greasy, stringy black hair contrasts perfectly against the mottled grey-green of her rubbery skin. She moves with the grace and elegance that can only result from three hundred pounds of mismatched bones, popping joints, and far too much time sleeping on rocks. She is wearing ...

Picture a troll as a human, but taller, more muscular, greyish skin, and slender.

Kind of like Jack Baur only not

She is a powerful Troll and is quite fetching for her race. Her pale grey skin is smooth and nearly clear of lichen patches. Her blue grey eyes shine under massive brows, which have tiny ferns and various minuscule wild flowers planted upon them. Her dark hair is of an indeterminable colour, but is neatly plaited with roots of the bushes that crown this magnificent creature. She stands nearly 7 foot tall, her stooping frame is difficult to estimate. She moves agilely with the grace of a hippo in water. Her strength is evident as her muscles ripple beneath the mismatched, ill fitting clothing that hangs, dirty and torn, in tatters about her body.




Yes? No?

The clothes thing was mentioned.

Try starting lines with something other than she or her. Don't tell someone that something is difficult for them, or that they will find her 'fetching'. Also, the troll you described is not fetching for a troll. Nothing in Achaea makes trolls ugly. They're just, as I said, grey, taller, muscular, and slender.

He is an insectoid Horkval. Minicule grayish-brown scale-like plates cover the entirety of his body. Along the top parts of his arms and legs, white diamonds with dark brown interiors stand tip to tip all the way to his shoulders and hips. His head has two dark brown spots going back from each side of the top of his head, down the back of his neck. The plates around his right eye are almost black, and around his left eye are marred and deformed. His hairless head boasts a lengthy scar that starts at the bridge of his nose, stretches across his left eye, around to just before his left ear, and then down to the base of his neck. Standing somewhere just above five feet tall, his short stature is matched by his broad shoulders and powerful arms. Stubby but strong legs support his whole body, and two large feet below them, support his legs. On his left arm, he bears the mark of his Caste. The skin charred and burned, showing the brand of a single eye, containing a flaming spiral in the iris portion, inside the outline of a Phoenix, marking him as the Fledgling Guardian.

This is mine, it's not perfect, but I wrote it on a whim to please my IC mother. Apparently walking around as "He is an insectoid Horkval. ." Isn't a good thing.


It's for Horkval btw.

And I just googled a picture of a saw scaled viper, which is where the markings came from.

Worst. Movie. Ever.

She stands at around six foot tall, though walks with a slight stoop as if trying to make herself a little smaller. Auburn hair falls down her back in a long ponytail, several braids worked into the length and fastened with colourful beads and silver bells that rattle against each other and create a gentle musical sound as she moves her head. Her skin is a pale grey in shade, and a heavy brow casts light shadows over her deep yellow eyes, making them stand out starkly against her almost gaunt face.

Reader Digest version: Describe what you look like, not how you move or what you're wearing. There are game mechanics for that.

Tribal... don't be silly


Edited, because last time I called someone the I word I was banned from the forums.

Let's play a drinking game. A shot for every DURR posted in Tribal's posts. Sure way to kill ourselves from alcohol poisoning.

She is a winged Atavian. She is tall, slim and slender. Swirling locks of golden
blonde hair cascades down her beautiful and elegant face and falls to her tiny
waist. Her eyes sparkle with beautiful shades of blue, shifting in colour ever
so slightly to her moods. Her luscious, full lips are strawberry pink in colour,
soft and kissable. Her ethereal, gracefully shaped ivory wings envelops her
curvaceous, feminine body, fluttering from time to time. Upon her exposed lower
back, just slightly in view beneath her wings, lies a tattoo of a flitting
butterfly, it's wings gliterring blue and purple. She is wearing a beautifully
vibrant butterfly earring through her right ear, a shimmering violet star
sapphire engagement ring, a beautifully vibrant butterfly earring through her
left ear, a golden emperor butterfly ring, a suit of splint mail, a long-stemmed
blue tulip, a summer dress of falling orchids, a glittering pair of starlit glass slippers, a canvas
backpack, a dainty anklet of shimmering butterflies, and a silk cloak of
beautiful embroidered pink petals.

Hope this helps!

It's Shelbie's.
