[hypospraying]

Christine Chapel Height; 5'6" Weight; 115lbs. General Appearance; Christine is very slim due to the fact that she was at one time a ballerina and so she's always strived to keep a delicate figure, even though she no longer is one. She wears her blonde hair long and often curls it or wears it in an updo if she's working. She can be very superficial about her appearance and can't walk by a mirror without glancing at her reflection. Makeup is something she's always worn, only now in game she's suddenly adopted a "screw it" attitude about her looks. She's been feeling too low to worry about what others think of her looks, and that's something I plan to continue with. She won't look quite so put together anymore. Physical Mannerisms; "A dancer's grace" sums up her movements perfectly. She has a straight-backed gliding walk. A common expression for her is pursing her lips when displeased or tapping her fingers to her lips when thinking. Her expressions are usually pretty easy to read and full of honesty, except when working. When she's working with a patient, her looks are all compassion and care. Even if things don't look too good, she won't let on to that, so as not to worry the patient. Lately she's been more touchy-feely because she wants the comfort, so a lot of hugs, grasping hands, and laying her head on a willing shoulder. Verbal Mannerisms; Christine has a generic American accent excepting several words that always come out Southern. When drunk or really angry, the Southern comes out as well and is very pronounced. I've always pictured her voice as lower than her PB Candice Accola, but I haven't found a good substitute voice to share. She sounds pretty educated despite her tendency to say things like "gonna" or "y'know." Her voice never wavers when on the job and is always clear and determined. Off the job, her voice quakes when really upset or terrified. She has a dry wit, so her sarcastic jokes come out dryly. Sometimes there's laughter in her voice when something amuses her. When comforting someone, her voice is very gentle, almost like trying to coax someone out of their shell so they can confide in her. Fashion; I just so happen to have a link to her wardrobe right here. She's usually a very neat dresser and wears plenty of makeup and jewelry. Lately, though, she's forgone the makeup, hasn't been doing much with her hair, and lounge pants are her style. She'll start dressing more like her old self soon, just without all the perfect details. Etc;

[claimyourself]

Lena Duchannes Height; 5'3" Weight; 105lbs. General Appearance; A small slip of a girl, Lena got her name from her grandmother who said she was as skinny as a string bean, hence: Leana Beana. She's pale with long, wavy black hair that sometimes curls and uncurls itself when she's performing magic. There's a crescent moon shaped birthmark under her left eye, and she has heterochromia: one green eye and one gold eye. She tends to dress in clothes that don't follow a trend; there's a lot of black, gray, and silver in her wardrobe too. Her sweaters and sweatshirts are oversized, and she's never without a necklace holding random junk that's sentimental to her (including the tab from a can of soda, a red string, a ring, and a mini Sharpie). On her feet are always her beat up black Converse with writing on the rubber written in black Sharpie. Her hands are often covered in writing too. Physical Mannerisms; Lena moves very much like a person who doesn't care what others think. It's a defense mechanism because she was so often picked on and trying to melt into the background never worked. So she adopted an air of ignoring everything around her. Now that she's been in another game before here, though, she does want people to like her and at times (usually in a large group) she looks shy and like she's just trying to observe others. She can often be found writing things down, but not letting anyone see, because it's usually snippets of poetry. Verbal Mannerisms; Lena has a generic accent because she moved so often that she never had time to settle into an accent. Her voice is soft, with a bit of a bite to it since sarcasm is her default setting. Khristine Hvam does her voice in the audiobooks, but I don't think it really fits, and I can't use my PB's because she's French/Spanish and therefore doesn't have an American accent. Fashion; Here's an average outfit for Lena. Dark colors, dresses, sometimes slightly goth emo chick, sometimes not. I guess you could say she's pretty eclectic. Etc; Have some freeform poetry of Lena's: i could hear the sound but i could not understand the words  and then i realized the sound was me, breaking in one moment i was feeling everything and i was feeling nothing i was shattered, i was saved, i lost everything, i was given everything else something in me died, something in me was born, i only knew the girl was gone whoever i was now, i would never be her again this is the way the world ends not with a bang but a whimper claim yourself claim yourself claim yourself claim gratitude fury love despair hope hate first green is gold but nothing green can stay dont try nothing green can stay

Erik Lehnsherr

[prefers_magneto]

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.

Diana Abel

[diana_abel]

Diana Abel Height; Five feet, six inches Weight; 110 Pounds General Appearance; Diana has a slender build, with skin that's pale and nearly unblemished, save for a thin scar on her neck and another on the bottom of her foot. She has long, wavy brown hair and lavender eyes that are clearly the result of some weird genetic lottery. Physical Mannerisms; Despite her flexible and loose attitude, Diana moves with surprisingly proper and graceful airs. She has perfect posture, ramrod straight. When she's nervous, she'll bite her lower lip or play with her hair a bit, but she'll rarely slouch. Sometimes, one might compare her movements to a water bird, like a swan. But because she's Diana, she enjoys swishing her hips. A lot. Verbal Mannerisms; Although born in Notting Hill, Diana speaks with an American accent. There's the faintest twinge of "valley girl" in it these days, but that's mostly affected. Certain British words will still slip into her conversation (lift instead of elevator, biscuits instead of cookies, etc.), but the only time she ever really reverts to her original accent is when she's dealing with a bout of regression. In which case, she sounds like a spoiled, English schoolgirl. Fashion; Diana likes to wear colorful, bohemian clothing. She generally wears so much jewelry that she jingles when she walks. Favorite colors include purple, blue, and pink, all in gem tones. She'll wear pastels when she's feeling low and metallic colors when she's putting on a show. A taste of her wardrobe can be seen in her polyvore collection. Two articles of clothing she's never seen without, however, are her engagement ring and silver necklace. Etc; Diana smells like almond soap. Yes. I've put actual thought into what my character smells like. YOU'RE WELCOME. Also, her singing voice sounds like that of the lovely Laura Osnes

Obi-Wan Kenobi

[master_kenobi]

Obi-Wan Kenobi Height; 5'10" Weight; 163 lbs General Appearance; Human male, a little bit ginger (hair and beard), blue eyes, athletic build from a lifetime of Jedi training. Physical Mannerisms; Obi-Wan has very graceful, fluid movements. He has good posture, but it seems effortless. He has an easy walk and can shift from that to deadly precision in combat in the bat of an eye. He's been trained in swordsmanship since he was a child and has been called the master of Form III lightsaber combat. He does, however, prefer not to fight if possible. Verbal Mannerisms; Obi-Wan's nickname during the Clone Wars was 'The Negotiator'. He's a compelling speaker who will always advocate for a peaceful resolution until that is clearly no longer an option. His diplomatic skills are an innate talent, honed by the training of the Jedi Order. He's a great mediator. As a mediator and as a teacher, he has a calm, patient tone that puts people at ease, though he can lose his temper, as Anakin Skywalker has proved, bringing out the sharpness in his tongue. He has a wry sense of humour and often will try to diffuse a tense situation with a sarcastic comment. His accent is easily placed in the Republic as coming from Coruscant, but to Earth ears, it sounds English. Fashion; Obi-Wan wears the robes of the Jedi Order. It's the mark of a Jedi, and something he's proud of. He only wears other clothing when he has to, ie an undercover operation. Etc; And a video of a little (unsuccessful) lightsabering.

Devi D

[artistwithasickness]

Devi D Height; Five foot nine Weight; Roughly 135 lbs General Appearance; Devi is slender but well formed and toned. When she's not wearing her jacket, it's easily visible. More then attached to her purple hair dye, it does little for the hint of black that is growing in at her roots. She's got green eyes that are usually on the stern but watchful side and now that she's got the supplies, she wears colorful eye-shadow that does more to enhance her eyes and face then it does to hide or change it. She also has pierced ears, of which as usually adorned with three or four sets of earrings - the lowest of one that looks like its gauged. She's got a large tattoo of a kanji on the center of her back that's red and looks like it was branded into the skin. There's also a small inch long scar in the hollow of her left shoulder. Physical Mannerisms; Devi tends to hunch when she's relaxed but there's always an almost arrogant feeling to it, as though nothing would ruffle her, encouraged by her mouth and sass against obstacles. Having a huge lack of chairs, she tends to rely on her ki to seat herself and has no qualms with people seeing it. When things get real, she stands very straight and seems to loom a bit larger then she really is. When she walks, it comes with an easy rolling movement that can easily be turned into a sharp attack. Verbal Mannerisms; Devi speaks with a western accent which means for the most part, she's big on enunciation and a pacing that leaves her speech clear and understandable. When talking about things that interest her, she's enthusiastic which can be taken as perhaps too aggressive in her opinions, despite her trying otherwise. When under stress, Devi's tone is commanding and sharp; she expects people to do as they're told in those times but when she's stressed out or talking about a subject she finds personally sensitive, she will rant. The words mush together and come out more softly but carry a manic panic behind it that might break into a full paranoid storm. Devi has a habit of cutting her sentences off sharply, clicking her jaw together as she bites her words back but it's always then that someone is the closest to hearing what she really thinks. Here have a video where she talks. Fashion; Usually sticking to comfortable clothes, Devi wears a lot of slightly loose black pants and a variety of different shirts from tank tops to crop tops. When she does dress up, it's all light fabrics and colors unless she's going for dramatic. If it ever gets cold, ya'll will see her in a lot of big comfy sweaters. Etc; She's also secretly adorable and smells like vanilla if you get close enough.

Matthew DiVigny

[dirtyandtrue]

Matthew DiVigny Height; 5'8 Weight; 175 lbs General Appearance; Matt is a broad well built guy, something that is hidden by his standard wear of suit shirts and slacks. His black hair is usually gelled back into place, maintaining a purposefully messy but somehow perfect hairstyle. Warm brown eyes are lit up by his smiles and darken dangerously when he's upset or aroused. Since he died with a 5 o'clock shadow, unless he shaves, he has dark stubble that he'll sometimes style. When he smiles, it shows in all of his face, crinkling his eyes and in his expressive telling eyebrows. The set of his jaw is also a good way to judge his current mood, as he'll flex and move it, depending. Even though he's dead, Matt still has a flush of life to him and he's just as lightly tanned as the rest of the livies. Physical Mannerisms; Matt carries himself with an air of casual funloving ease but he walks with confidence, most of the time with his cane leading the way. If he's in a particularly jovial mood, he'll whistle. If stressed or too deep in thought, Matt will fiddle with whatever is in his hands ; rolling a cigarette around or turning his glass but so long as he's around other people, he keeps that pleasant air and a warm easy smile to help put everyone else in a happy more relaxed mindset. Physically, he's a little cooler then the rest of the humans but not nearly as cold as say... Dorian. Verbal Mannerisms; Matthew speaks with a European accent, rounding out the odd vowel in his rhythmic poetic cadence. With his Enchanted voice, people naturally want to listen and agree to Matt's velvet drawing tones, regardless of what he's speaking about and it gets him far with most everyone. When he's pissed, Matt's friendly tone dives into a dark commanding one that sets off most people's danger senses and he may or may not rail off into a stream of French. He speaks French, Russian, German, Latin, English and a spattering of other major European languages, though he doesn't use those skills unless he's got someone to talk back to him in that language. French is obviously his favorite (being his mother tounge) and the one used most often in those under the breath swears and curses. Fashion; Matt likes suits. Expensive suits that fit him perfectly. He wears suspenders instead of belts, almost always and three piece suits are saved for the odd upper class occasion. He'll lose bits of clothing through a good night, but he doesn't seem to mind much. What he will mind is someone spilling something on his very fine suits. Don't do it. :| He... doesn't have much of any other clothing. Etc;

[somepartsbroken]

Dorian Carver Height; 6'2 (187.96 cm) Weight; 195 lbs General Appearance; Dorian is a tall lanky man, a little under weight he hides this by wearing clothes a little baggy on him. He is paler then most living people would be, but not as pale as most of the undead are. He died with a tan and that is all that gives him the faintest color. He does not bother to waste blood to fake life often, but when he does he looks tanned and flushed with life. He views it as a waste so he does not really bother with it. He has green eyes and crazy dark curls and usually sporting stubble these days along with a soul patch as he is just too lazy to shave it all away anymore. His finger nails are jagged, and never really change. He has a few scars, the insides of his elbows have very faint scaring from bloodletting done to him often when he was alive. A jagged scar near his left kidney from an accident when he was in his late teens, and his sire scar under his pierced ear. He always wears a gold loop in that ear. Physical Mannerisms; Dorian hates being tall, so he slouches a lot when he walks and when he leans on walls. Trying to not look as tall as he is. Having spent most of his life and unlife around people with short complexes it has become second nature to slouch and lean. he generally keeps his hands behind his back or crossed over his chest. If these are inappropriate they are in his pockets. he never quite knows what to do with his hands. If he doesn't have them crossed or in pockets he tends to drum on things and staple his fingers. He often walks to a beat, usually just one playing in his head. Some might call it a strut. He tends to smile a bit crooked most of the time which makes the lines in his face more noticeable. He likes to walk with arms linked as it reminds him of times long gone. Verbal Mannerisms; Like his face, Dorian sounds like his PB Hawksley Workman, because Koko is lame. He speaks most often in a long wind, trying to keep up with many thoughts at once. Thanks to his derangements his mind runs a mile a minute and if he starts thinking and talking it is harder to keep up with him. His voice is at a medium range, he can drop it down to bass but usually he will speak higher when he wants to change his pitch. He can sing, but he denies it. He uses words most no longer use like "Mayhaps" instead of "Maybe" and "I will" instead of "I'll" Some contractions have worked into his vocabulary since arriving but not many. He still tries to sound classy around those who don't know him well, but his closer friends get to hear him curse like a sailor and speak more relaxed. His voice is a strange mix of accents. The New Yorker in him is long gone but sometimes a southern accent will bleed through if he is angry. Mostly he just sounds strange from the mix of accents he has faked over the years for the Masquerade all blending. He does sometimes whistle but it is more likely to hear him playing a harmonica then that. Fashion; Dorian has a wide range of ways he dresses Mostly he wears the things he got in the temple and things bought in Gebo. As of late however he has sold some of his clothes and aquired a A Johnny Cash Man in Black look, which washes him out terribly. But he is holding to the old styles of mourning. When he leaves the room he is usually wearing a jacket or a sweater to cover his arms. He never leaves without a watch as he feels naked without time to weigh him down. Aside from the watch the only jewelry he wears is his earring. There was a time he loved to be dapper but not anymore. He just no longer cares. Etc;He smells of flowers and old aftershave Think grandfather's aftershave, like Brut, it never really goes away And he can work a Hulahoop.

[shapedthecentury]

James Buchanan Barnes Height; 5'11 Weight; 190 lbs General Appearance; Bucky has long, untidy dark brown hair and pale blue eyes that often appear gray, with a wide jaw and dimpled chin. He doesn't take much care in his physical appearance anymore, so it's not uncommon to see stubbled growth on his face, and his lack of a full beard seems to be more genetic than conscious decision on his part. He has sturdy, squared-off frame and a muscular build overall. His left arm has been replaced by a bionic prosthesis, with old, heavy scarring around the juncture of metal and skin. Physical Mannerisms; In a fight he moves with brutal efficiency, his whole body at use as a weapon against his opponent. When inert, he tends towards a slight slouch, like he's waiting to be put into motion again by some outside command. Generally he carries himself slowly and with purpose, aware of his environment and reacting only as necessary to it. His head remains tucked low, eyes on his point of focus with almost frightening intensity. He does not often fidget or move restlessly, unless in one of his more mentally unstable moments. Verbal Mannerisms; Bucky doesn't waste words. Questions are generally food and answers truncated, to the point. His voice is much softer than one might expect, low and pleasant if a little rusty from general disuse. He can speak a number of languages with a satisfactory accent, but as is depressingly the case for him he's lost his own along the way. Fashion; His uniform as the Soldier was not a choice. The only voluntary choice he makes in his clothing is to seize upon second-handed and lower-class clothing, used to hide himself and let him blend in with the 'invisible' amongst us, the transient and vagrant. His generally unkempt appearance furthers this image. He knows how to hide in plain sight, to wait for extraction, as he has no real desire to be a part of the society around him. He does tend towards the color blue when stealing clothing, even if he doesn't know why. Etc; Bucky's scent would be The Robotic Scarab. Also, feel free to observe him in action.

[crazy_quick]

Peter Maximoff Height; 5'11". He's probably taller than you thought! He's almost as tall as Erik. Weight; No idea, but he's got a little muscle. Mostly pretty lean. He's a runner, after all. General Appearance; He's tall and slim, but with some muscle to him. Long and lean legs like a track runner. He has silver hair that ends above his shoulders, but constantly looks a little wild or swept back. Yes, the silver color is his natural hair color. He has a very laid-back look to him, generally smiling or amused at life, but can go from sweet to sass in a split second and look at you like your head is up your butt. No distinguishing marks or tattoos to speak of. Physical Mannerisms; As said, he's very laid back so sometimes he slouches and at other times he stands pretty straight. He tends to stuff his hands into his pockets, giving him that cool, carefree sort of look. There's a little arrogance to him, as though others are just not as sharp as he is, but at the same time he's very friendly and outgoing with people as long as they're not annoying or too uptight. Verbal Mannerisms; He has nothing special about his accent, but sometimes he does talk fast, which could make someone assume he's a hyper teen. For someone smart enough to pick up on it, the fast talking is done so effortlessly, a person might realize Peter's actually pretty smart. He's just faster than the rest of the world around him. When he speaks slooooowly it's usually to tease someone. Fashion; He's a jeans and t-shirt kind of kid. Typically the t-shirt is some rock/metal band that he's in to. He's not one for bright colors, sticking with black and such, but he does wear a very noticeable silver jacket that gives him that 'metal' look and makes him appear a bit edgy in the juvenile delinquent sort of way. Worn down sneakers/Converse are his footwear. He wears a good watch (since time is so very important) that has a compass, and carries or wears a pair of goggles. Always, he carries his walk-man, which is hooked to a thick leather belt. Etc; Youtube: Quicksilver Trailer spot Youtube: Quicksilver's lineage...

[dirtyandtrue]

/rewards with a blonde and a good night out. :3

[prefers_magneto]

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

[dirtyandtrue]

JOVIAL GERMAN TAUNTS! Matt roots for at least one beer while this happens. And even promises no invasion of space!

[lookingforhope]

Charles Xavier Height; 5'7" Weight; Approximately 125 lbs General Appearance; Slim and considered underweight. Shoulder length auburn hair, blue eyes which generally appear bloodshot, and has moderate length facial hair. Physical Mannerisms; At this current time, Charles is wheelchair bound due to his legs being crippled. He generally sits straight without slouching. One particular movement that gives Charles away is the occasional placement of his index and middle finger to his temple which indicates he is using his (recently returned) telepathy. However, this gesture is being used less and less. Verbal Mannerisms; Charles still speaks with a fairly articulate and proper English accent, that carries less of an intellectual air than he did ten years ago. Because of personal struggles, his manner of speaking has become more British slang with the occasional curse, and less soft and polite. Fashion; It's tragic. If anything it can be best described as somewhere between pimp daddy and homeless man. Brown leather jackets, psychedelic color printed shirts and bell bottom jeans. Etc; (X)

[hypospraying]

I didn't know he wore an earring! See, the little things are amazing!

[prefers_magneto]

Erik would suggest he looks like he fought a homeless man for his clothes.

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco (Lucius) Malfoy Height; 6'1 or thereabouts. Weight; 159 lb. And yes, he knows that you want him to eat more. General Appearance; Draco is a tall, lean - read: scrawny - young man with a shock of platinum blond hair and striking grey eyes. His features are very pointed, and he uses that to the best of his ability, often keeping his expression either wryly amused or steeled and stoic depending on if he's smirking. In recent times, his expression is often a little bit softer and more calm, rather than trying to scare everyone away from him or trying to make them feel inferior to his greatness; he smiles more easily. As well, due to years of playing Quidditch with his school team, he's surprisingly muscled. Not that you'll ever see him in that state: he has a number of scars that he's not necessarily proud of, including but not limited to his throat, which bears marks of having been torn out once, and his stomach, where he has a very straight scar from sternum to groin. Besides his (faded) Dark Mark, Draco also has a celtic knot tattooed on the back of his neck from his time in Bete Noire. Physical Mannerisms; Draco often stands up straight, with good posture, another sign of his upper-crust upbringing. When he's more relaxed, his shoulders slump back slightly, and he tucks his hands in his pockets. He's usually very stable when he stands, or else he leans against something, like a counter, a doorjamb, or anything else that allows him to remain basically upright. Often, his posture and face don't betray his thoughts or feelings unless he's caught off-guard, but his mouth does twitch sometimes when he's suppressing a thought or a facial expression that he doesn't want seen, like an inappropriately placed frown or smirk. Most of his mannerisms lend themselves to suggesting that he's a very confident young man, particularly when he tips his chin up in a mark of defiance; it also gives him the ability to look down his nose at people (not that he does a lot of that any more). He also tends to tip his head to one side or the other in a faint gesture when thinking, not unlike a bird. Verbal Mannerisms; Speaking with a very neat, tidy, educated Wiltshire accent that is slightly influenced by his upbringing in wizarding England (versus regular England) and therefore, a little bit unplaceable to some ears, Draco generally tends to speak very well indeed. Most days, he thinks through precisely what he's going to say, punctuating conversations with brief pauses while he does so; he likes to sound as put-together as possible. That said, when he's caught off-guard by something, that goes out the window. Try though he might to put together his responses beforehand, it typically fails, leaving him faltering and floundering in those brief pauses. You'll never catch him stammering in a regular conversation, though. When he's feeling most at ease (or annoyed), his speech tends to slow down into a lazy drawl that may or may not suggest that he really does not care about what he's talking about - whether it does mean that or not depends entirely on his mood, and leans towards being the case only when he's annoyed. Sometimes, he likes to hum as he works in a very idle fashion, not usually for more than a couple bars at a time. An amusing example of his voice can be found here! Fashion; Draco is almost never seen in any way but than meticulously dressed. This means a lot of trouser and waistcoat sets, or three-piece suits (if the jacket is necessary). He's got a fabulous collection of ties, too. He's also never seen without his pocketwatch. A further exploration of his wardrobe can be found here. Though he no longer slicks his hair back, he does like to style it at least a little bit. And yes, the blond is natural. For anyone who gets the chance to see him looking comfortable - limited basically to close friends and lovers, due to his vanity - he typically lounges around in comfortable pyjama pants and a t-shirt, but since that shows off some of his scars and tattoos, he prefers not to just waltz around like that. Etc; Sometimes he smiles, and that's nice.

[alphaophiuchi]

Well, those gifs hurt a little bit.

Also, Charles should come to Draco's next cupcake-eating evening, because that's the best way to counter being told you're underweight and need to eat.

[hypospraying]

It's really sad that these two could form a Had My Throat Ripped Out Club. /cries

[solus_unus]

Caius Vitale Height; 5'9" Weight; 140'ish lbs General Appearance; This 1,926 year old doesn't look much younger than a man in his late twenties. He is lean and well proportioned with muscular arms. Short brown hair that's longer at the top with a thin amount of facial hair. Most striking features are no doubt his vibrant blue eyes, which if looked closer into may convey a venerability about him. He sports 4 tattoos and numerous scars on his arms and upper torso with the one across his neck from his First Death being the most obvious. Physical Mannerisms; Caius walks casually, usually with his hands down in his pockets, or with arms crossed over in front of his chest. If he's got boots on, he tends to drag and shuffle due to the fact he never laces them up. He tends to point, run a hand over his face when he's in thought, and shrug. All in all, he tends to move unhurriedly, without purpose and with general nonchalance. Verbal Mannerisms; Typically when Caius talks, there is a lot of swearing. One may pick up on a slight rasp, but no clear accent unless he's speaking in other languages. Being a musician, he tends to articulate and enunciate his words, and speaks loud enough to be heard.
