outofshadows | The TL;DR Little Details Meme

not every detail gets covered by snazzy icons and stylish [bracket] text. inevitably, small things go overlooked.

so this is where you fill them in! what's your character like in person? how's their accent? their posture? do they slouch? if you've ever wanted to gab about those little details, the small things that get lost in the shuffle but stand out on the street, here's the meme for you!

Erik 'Magneto' Lehnsherr
Height; 6'
Weight; 167 lbs
General Appearance; Tall and lean, athletic build. Auburn hair, blue eyes. Scar above lip on right side of his mouth. Tattoo from Nazi concentration camp on his left inner forearm.
Physical Mannerisms; He holds himself straight-backed and always seems alert. He doesn't smile often. His movements have a predatory air to them. He's watchful. His movements are economical. He often uses his power to control metal to do things when it's convenient because he doesn't believe in hiding it.
Verbal Mannerisms; Erik has a deliberate way of speaking. His words are almost always carefully chosen. He's compelling and charismatic when he talks about something he's passionate about. His voice sounds educated, but his accent is hard to place. He was born in Germany, but was imprisoned during puberty and when he escaped he traveled to different places where he educated himself to sound like he was university educated. In English, his accent suggests a mixture of backgrounds but with erudition on top of them. He also speaks multiple other European languages fluently, including French, Spanish and, obviously, his mother tongue: German.
Fashion; Erik is a meticulous, fashionable dresser. Having seen deprivation and dispossession early in life, dressing well is one of the ways he thumbs his nose at his former oppressors and any future would-be oppressors. He likes colour - particularly burgundies and purples - and he knows he looks damn good in a fedora.
Etc;

And a vid where he speaks three different languages and kills Nazis.

They should argue... In German... Just for the fuck of it. >.>

Oh hell yes. Erik's name is obviously German and his accent isn't obviously anywhere in particular. Maybe Matt can try German on with him some time :3
