HEY, NORFINBURY! SHOW ME YOUR BODY!

What is your character like face-to-face?

As we know, icons and written text don't always give a clear impression of a character.

Describe what your character is like in person. What is their body type? Do they have any distinctive markings? Do they have an accent or unique kind of voice? Any interesting type of body language? Basically, share anything that you feel other characters would notice about yours if they ran into them in the street. Or, you know, a snow-covered metal house.

♛ describe all the things that icons don't show.
♛ like height, weight, posture, eye color, voice, etc.
♛ do they look different from canon now?
♛ did they get a new haircut or tattoo?
♛ how fabulous is their beard?
♛ do they have new, obvious scars since coming here?
♛ show and tell! enrich the game experience!
♛ remember to put large images behind cuts

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 187 lbs (though he's lost around 10 lbs since coming into Snowblind)
Posture: Almost always slouched over his cane; he generally comes off as shorter and smaller than he is.
Voice/Accent: Typical American New Englander, favoring New Jersey with a touch of Pennsylvania. He can change accents at the drop of a hat to mock someone, though.
Differences from Canon: House is sporting a scruffy beard that he's now occasionally keeping trimmed with his wire cutters when he can be bothered. His hair is longer than he usually lets it get, but not noticeably so at the moment.
Scars: No new scars, but if anyone ever gets his pants off, he's got a really gnarly one on his thigh that he's intensely self-conscious about.

Height: Like 6'2" if the model viewer is to be believed. Most of it is leg. Ungodly amount of leg.
Posture: Right side hangs a tiny bit lower due to the weight of the arm.
Is a: Freaking cyborg, so robot arm, (blue) robot eye, and a bunch of junk in his head.
Attire: Pinstripes. But only on one side. This includes the (HYPERION YELLOW) coat he was given.
Hair: A goddamn floofy disaster. Thanks Snowhellbama.
Markings: Tattoo on his neck (black). Visible. Tattoo on his chest (and ((presumably)) elsewhere), not, and probably never visible. Until my door is kicked down by Telltale and they scream NOT CANON! in my ear, he's a damn siren. FIGHT ME. Helpful art by Louise, who is, as always, awesome.

links instead hwhoops

Height: About 5'6"? SHORTER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. The shortest Harble (only a lil shorter than Jay tho)
Weight: Jesus christ I have no idea. A little skinnier than canon by now, but not to a major extent? HE HAS A LIL MANTUMMY, IT'S ADORBS
Posture: Usually pretty good, but he's quick to hunch over and hug himself when stressed out. Which is a lot lately. Masky carries itself differently, for the record - it tends to tilt its head back and is noticably more tensed up.
Eye colour: Brown
Voice: Have a link!
Differences from canon: Slightly scrawnier than canon under his clothes, as mentioned. Paler too because wow snowhell is just a lil colder than Alabama and also he's been hermiting it up in the tunnels. His hair's considerably floppier now, too, and he regularly lets his beard grow in just a lil before shaving it off (he has razors and treats them like fucking gold). Finally, the dark circles under his eyes are much more noticable these days. MY POOR SON
Scars/markings: Nothing major, just the occasional scuff or scrape.
Obligatory imagespam:

Tim is a dreamboat.

Height: SUPER TINY I worked it out properly and she's just over five feet. So tiny. So wee.
Weight: Slightly underweight even before being punted into snowhell. Smol.
Posture: Very good, but when she walks it can have a touch of Bambi-walking-on-ice to it. Not too noticable unless she's tired or you're looking for it, but it's there. SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK BEFORE COMING HERE OK HER WINGS WERE SO COOL
Eye colour: Vivid blue, slightly glowy.
Voice: Soft, and she enunciates her words very clearly. Link!
Differences from canon: Uhhhh, no wings. Her hair's starting to grow back in a little on the shaved side of her head, but it's still barely more than fuzz. Red nail polish courtesy of Rhys!
Scars/markings: No scars, unless you count the metal ports wedged into her skull. Her siren markings glow brightly and constantly, and trail over the entire left side of her body. THEY'RE SUPER NEAT. Also she has freckles but those don't show up on most of my icons which is a shame because seriously how fucking cute
Obligatory imagespam:
Shitty tattoo doodle.
Fukken huge model turnaround.
How she appears in the live-action ECHO segments.

Height: 5'4" and she hangs out with a bunch of SOLDIER giants, why
Weight: God, I have no idea. Her official measurements put her at an American size 2, so she's pretty tiny.
Posture: Tifa has good posture and tends to stand pretty straight.
Eye color: Red officially, although they're brown in some appearances.
Voice: Here's the best clip I could find! Dissidia, but whatevs.
Canon differences: Tifa has started braiding her hair to keep it from whipping into her face in the wind. She's ditched her miniskirt for jeans that are way too big on her, and she's wearing a dark red coat with her weird little elbow armor strapped on over it.

I use a lot of AC icons because nice FF7 icons of Tifa are few and far between, but she's still rocking this look with the super long hair.

Height: 5'4~
Weight: IDK i'm terrible at guessing these things. Skinnier than he looks because he wears a jacket that's way too big for him in an effort to bulk himself up.
Voice: Surprisingly soft and high. Apparently living in the Space British Empire gives you a suspiciously Jersey sort of accent, too. He's frequently mumbling under his breath, especially when he's annoyed, and his voice cracks when he's freaked out.
Posture/Movement: There's actually a little tangent in the director's commentary about how he moves; basically he's at that stage where his limbs have outgrown the rest of him and he's kind of clumsy as a result unless he's actively focusing on what he's doing (mechanical stuff, surfing, hanging off the rigging like a monkey). His hands are always in motion, he's usually staring off into space.
Differences from Canon: He cut off the rat tail it is TRAGIC. He's also switched out his gold hoop for a more blingin' diamond earring. Other than that he's pretty close to his canon appearance; he even kept his own jacket rather than getting a Norfinbury one. he does have a hat newsboy hat, it's very important to me.
Scars: Various from a life of being a Totally Gnarly 90s Kid, including one major wipeout that ended in broken limbs. Pierced ear. Calluses for days.

Height: 6'9" probably. Above average height for his species but Elezen can be taller.
Weight: Based on weight measurements for star athletes of similar height-245 lbs, mostly muscle. He's lost some weight since coming to the game.
Posture: Tall and proud with head back and shoulders forward. It's noticeably military.
Body Language: He does a lot of gesturing with his hands and tends to pace a lot. Unless he's asleep he's never still.
Voice: His voice changed a bit in the game's expansion but I imagine the original voice when I write him: Low, lilting and honey-slicked. His accent is British but he has no idea what England is. [Example]
Differences from Canon: None visually (yet). He was starting to grow a beard but found a straight razor.
Scars: No new scars yet but he has some on his torso from years of fighting. The most noticeable scars are a fading one in his left forearm from blocking a loosed arrow with his arm alone as a teenager and a crescent shaped scar on his abdomen and lower back. Whatever left those scars it doesn't seem like he should have survived it (he didn't).
If he takes his gauntlets off his palms and long fingers are calloused from swordplay.

Height: Aver...age? Not a smol but also not really tall for a woman.
Weight: Again I don't know. Curvy build.
Voice: Australian, very pretty. She's generally fairly formal in terms of vocabulary, though she sometimes drops that (she calls Omega a pisshole, it's great).
Posture/Movement: Excellent posture, especially in heels. Swooshy hips. She generally moves with purpose or is still; no nervous energy or nervous tics except when manic THANKS NORFINBURY. She does have a very animated face when she's actually engaged rather than being Ice Queen.
Differences from Canon:The only notable one is that she's taken to wearing her hair french braided over her ears and up to keep it from being an endless collection of unwashed knots.
Scars: Biotic implant on her spine, possibly some scaring from the battle for Earth and that time she got shot (but possibly not, WHO KNOWS, future science.)

EDIT: Model Sheet Turnaround in the Vacuum Sealed Catsuit. Warning: it comes with camel toe because fuck video games sometimes.

EDIT 2: hair something like this but neater; redone every morning.

why is he SO CUTE

Tifa's gonna ruffle his hair deal with it Jim

STEALIN HIS JOB EH

Jeez, Zack can help!

HIS HAIR HASN'T BEEN WASHED IN TWO MONTHS, GODSPEED.

SNOWPARENTS STOP BEING EMBARRASSING GOSH

THAT'S WHAT GLOVES ARE FOR

also puke

snowbos are not cute :c

Rugged?!

Height: 6'3" He is a fucking giant, okay. I don't even. Must be the enhancements.
Weight: No fucking clue. I imagine he's heavy due to all that muscle though jesus.
Posture: Tends to lean his weight on one leg or the other after a bit, especially when he's lost in thought. He has good posture while walking though. Completely upright.
Body Language: Stupid emotional heart-on-his-sleeve. Terrible pokerface. Tendency to rub at the back of his neck or run hands through his hair. Bites his lip occasionally when nervous. Either crosses his arms or places his hands on his hips and doesn't make eye contact when frustrated, lost in thought, or unsure about something. Tends to gesture a lot with his hands. Also squats. Squats are definitely a thing.
Eye color: Blue with mako green around the center of his irises.
Voice: Convenient voice reference. And yelling. Because.
Canon differences: Loss of muscle mass. Cheeks are a bit hollowed. He tries to keep his hair tamed, but it's typically oily and easily can get to be a mess (quit messing with it, Kuns!!). He's fashioning a five o'clock shadow most of the time that starts to develop into something more when he ends up in a foul mood for a few days. But he's been trying to shave consistently! He wears the standard black snowhell coat over his uniform and harness at all times with his pauldrons strapped over his coat because he just doesn't know what the hell else to do with them. Oh, and a scarf. Hurrah.
Scars/Markings/Tattoos: Blah blah typical monster bite/claw scarring blah blah sword/puncture wound scarring etc. typical SOLDIER scars on top of all the scattered puncture hell from being turned to swiss cheese at one point in his life. Also scalpel scarring down his arms. His most pronounced scar is probably his cross shaped one on his face of boo hoo mentor times.

~~must be nice having a voice actor who can yell~~

okay but the important question: how creepy are his eyes in the dark?

~~IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL~~

Anyway, I don't know how much you can solidly take this, but there's honestly not any legit good CC canon material of Zack's eyes being creepy in the dark. I think this gives you a decent idea at least.

Height: 5'11''--fairly tall, but kind of stocky-looking.
Weight: Hovering a bit below 200 lbs, though at this point he's probably much more lightweight. 180 lbs, maybe? He's mostly muscle, so it'll take a while before any of this starts to significantly show.
Voice: Something like this? The accent's pretty close, too! He's got a light, almost nasal voice, and speaks quickly; his southeastern accent comes through strongest the faster he talks and tends to truncate and slur words together. Think as few syllables as possible.
Posture/Movement: Usually upright--he works hard to maintain an air of casual confidence, especially in groups, keeps his shoulders back and walks with an easy sort of swagger. In more isolated interactions (and quite a lot lately), he tends to slouch a little and has a wider stance, which is more comfortable for his heavier build. He moves slowly and deliberately, shuffles when he walks, and is very touchy. Lots of friendly pokes and shoves, claps on the shoulder, likes to crowd people's space. Doesn't do much in the way of idle gestures unless he's very animated or flustered about something.
Differences from Canon: Clayton prefers to be very well-groomed, and in snowhell this is absolutely not the case. He's grown a pretty thick mountain man beard out of his trimmed goatee, though thankfully he's able to keep it from getting too long with Enoch's ~~toe~~ scissors. He isn't brave enough yet to also trim his hair this way but it's definitely due for a cut. His beard was already starting to grow in with awkward gray whiskers and now it's just got these sad white patches all over the place. He's only 30, he's way too young for this. Also he's missing the two smallest toes on his left foot now? Whoops.
Scars: Surprisingly minimal scarring on those toe stumps, thanks Admin and Spider Friends. Everything else is just an assortment of little, faded scars, mostly on his hands, feet, knees and elbows--what you'd expect to find on someone that was a tiny farm boy at some point in his life.

Picspam: Bomp, a picture of Clayton as he is dressed down and roughly current. The red t-shirt is not something he showed up with, but he's been wearing it so long that it's...probably not coming off easily any time soon, aha. Ew.

Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Weight: Originally 187.4lbs (85kg)
Posture: Pretty good, actually. Keeps his shoulders straight unless he's so tired he's about to collapse. Sadness and disappointment tend to show more in the position of his head than his shoulders. For all his self-deprecation, one thing he doesn't put down about himself is his appearance - I'm not sure how else one cultivates a gait - walking and running - with so much hip swinging if not in response to appreciation.
Eye Color: Turquoise blue! How much green is in there seems to be as much as the author feels like but it's consistent on his game model and visible in some icons.
Voice: here!
Differences from canon? Well, he's lost some weight, of course, but not entirely sure how much. It probably doesn't show much anyway, with how many layers he's got and, well, just look at that bulk there in the pics okay?
Scars or distinguishing marks: ~~None!~~ APPARENTLY callouses count. His hands are pretty rough, between growing up farming and three centuries of wilderness travel and combat.
Images:
Original official art.
I mean it about that hip thing.
btw, he's a sleep cuddler and he snores sometimes.
Author: "It's El Shaddai's 4th anniversary! Have a shirtless and shoeless Enoch for no reason!" (he got this by editing a version with armor so the anatomy is particularly weird in spots. yay?)
You can't see it, but the surface he and Armaros are dancing on here is a table.
And then hundreds of years later, he teaches the bad habit of misusing tables to his son.

Okay I'll stop now.

SLIGHTLY CREEPY?

It's kind of hard for me to picture their glowy eyes tbh. They don't really glow in AC or Crisis Core but everyone says they do in FF7 ugh why

Oh my god. I was never sure what his voice was but that...that just seems so perfect.

That also a fine snowbeard.

Dittoing that I never really imagined a voice for him, but that is SO CUTE GOD A+

Height: Somewhere around 4'7" which is a few inches shy of the average height of a ten-year-old boy. He appears to be more than a full head shorter than some of the shorter characters in his canon.
Weight: Underweight on a good day, probably somewhere between fifty and sixty pounds. He's bound to have lost even more weight from that, but it's hard to tell how malnourished he is underneath so many layers. Suffice to say he's very, very light.
Eyes: Light brown, almost a honey color that matches his hair.
Voice: If you ever wanted to know what he's like hysterical.
Posture/Movement: Usually pretty sprightly and animated! He's a kid, so he likes to do things big and with feeling to make himself seem much taller and more important, and in general be heard better. He tends to rock back on the balls of his feet and as a result lean backwards with his head craning upward--but he'd have to do that to look anyone in the eye, anyway. More recently due to the cold his movements have become much more sluggish and guarded, with more subtle, slow movements. He hunches his shoulders, partly because of the weight from his pack.
Differences from Canon: Much thinner, with longer hair that's probably starting to brush his shoulders and get in his eyes. Dark circles around his eyes. Probably looks like a ghost child from a horror movie, honestly.
Scars: None yet!

Picspam: Full body reference, game art!
without his hat.
