General appearance:

Stephen is 6'0" with a trim figure. His hair is black apart from the gray at his temples. His eyes appear to change color in different light because apparently Bumblebee Cabbagepatch is a special snowflake with sectoral heterochromia, which I just found out when I asked google what the fuck color his eyes are. Green, mostly. Or blue. Whatever.

Stephen dresses like some kind of cultist, all in blue apart from his magical red cloak. Up until his arrival in Norfinbury he kept his facial hair trimmed into a goatee. He carries himself at his full height, and his face is an open book.

Stephen's hands are heavily scarred and exhibit involuntary tremors due to extensive nerve damage.


In Norfinbury:

Without the aid of an electric razor, Stephen has not made more than a brief, token effort to keep his beard under control and his goatee has vanished into its general mass over the past two months. His hair is generally unkempt, though he makes a daily effort to keep it as clean and untangled as he can. He's lost muscle mass, and the shaking, stiffness, and pain in his hands has gotten worse due to the cold, to the point where he completely avoids certain activities he would have found difficult but doable when he first arrived, such as typing. His daytime wardrobe hasn't changed much apart from the addition of the standard coat, but in the evenings he often changes into the hodgepodge of garments he's found around town in order to give his clothes time to air and dry out. He's starting to get loaded down with items, as he's taken on all the medical supplies and clothing he can find, including a four-footed cane given to him by Sylar.

I must know how his cloak is doing.

It's probably kind of dirty! There's a little bit of fraying at one point on the hem where it let Stephen tease a few threads free for an experiment, but otherwise it's managed to get through their months in Norfinbury without getting torn despite having lost its magical imperviousness. It sticks close to Stephen, either on his shoulders or hovering nearby, and at night they cuddle it wraps itself around him.
