Elora

Approximate Age Range:

late 20’s

Gender:

Female

Appearance:

Elle stands at a height of 5'7" and clocks in at 125 lbs. She is slim and lanky, with thin, very dirty blonde hair that falls at her chest. Her eyes are a piercing light green, and are almost always rimmed with smudged black liner and mascara. Other than that, she wears minimal makeup. She's also got several tattoos: one, small outlines of what look like waves on her left wrist; two, an arrangement of faintly colored lilac and carnation flowers on the inner side of her right bicep; three, a simple outline of the Aries constellation following just underneath her left collar bone; four, a cartoonish black and white image of a dog tugging down a female's dress just above her left knee; five, a small colored image of a thunderbolt striking a heart on the outside of her right ankle.

Attire:

Elora is sporting an oversized, relaxed black sweater, which hides a plain grey tank top underneath. On bottom, she is wearing hip-hugging dark olive-green cargo jeans, tapered at the ankles, and worn-out high top black monochrome Converse. Her fingernails always have chipped nail polish and the right wrist is always ready with hair ties. She is never without a rustic golden necklace that hangs around her neck and rests just above her chest, bearing a miniature Swiss Army knife. There is a rectangular black bag hanging around her body, which holds her phone, headphones, pens, a pack of 5 Gum, wallet, hand sanitizer, and a little black notebook.

If you met this person on the street and didn’t know them, what would be your first impression of them?

First impressions of Elora usually begin with notice of her eyes. After that one would notice that she is very cool and collected, although there is something in her gaze and attitude that could be construed as either cold or impish. One would immediately notice her voice, relatively low and slightly raspy - like gravel swimming in honey.

Dio

Approximate Age Range: Late 30s

Gender: Male

Appearance: Dio is a man age is now beginning to catch up with. He stands at 6'1" with a posture that's evidently imperfect, his upper body leaning forward as if from a result of bending forward for long periods of time. His hair is short, far from straight and a dark brown, nearly black, colour that comes away as white at some of the roots. His arms are a slightly darker shade of tan than his face and his neck, and the natural colour to his skin betrays his Latin American roots along with his hardened, dusky hazel gaze. His facial hair is well kept though in the same salt-and-pepper state as the hair on his head.
His presence can be described as smart, encompassing and authoritative on first glance.

Attire: He seems to be wearing what can be classed as a moderately expensive black suit jacket and trousers atop a crisp white shirt. At his wrists, along with a proud, if slightly worn, Rolex on his right one, glitter small, silver cufflinks of a particular logo you can almost place, before realising it's a stylised caduceus. He wears two rings - and two rings only - one of them being a simple silver wedding band on his left ring finger (the skin underneath it is at least two shades lighter than the rest of his hand's and arms) and another ring on his right middle finger that's by comparison more delicate but houses a topaz that glows warm and orange like honey, or the sun.
Under the dark brown leather of his belt, pockets show the outlines of some typical belongings, a modern enough touch-phone, car-keys, a wallet, some coins in change.
The inside pockets on his suit jacket hold more ambiguous looking, solid items. The arm of a pair of sunglasses can be seen poking out from the top.
He wears formal shoes in the same shade of brown as his belt and his tie is loosened as it hangs around his neck.

If you met this person on the street and didn’t know them, what would be your first impression of them?
You would assume Dio to be a businessmen like them all, dressed slick and ready to talk anybody into anything. Or you might think he was some hotshot in a company, flaunting their wealth above the others'. On further inspection, his eyes and mannerisms would betray a more serious man, with a deep voice like silk from the big-screens carrying forward his words, though with the definite hints of a hispanic accent as well as the address "señor" or "señorita".
He looks to be a man who can hold his own in a fist fight, and might be more than big talk. If he did talk big, that is.

[Atrophy]

Name: Owen

Approximate Age Range: Early 20's

Gender: Male

Appearance: Owen stands at a respectable 6'6”, but long limbs and a twiggy, toneless muscle build makes him almost reminiscent of the wavy tube man seen outside of used car lots. His pale complexion suggests a Nordic ancestry, and his blonde hair and blue eyes all but confirm it. While Owen keeps his hair neat and slicked back with an undercut, a large, untrimmed beard that reaches the top of his chest gives him a more ragged appearance. Bloodshot eyes and a nose that appears to have been broken more than once add to this less-than-professional appearance. His lips, what can be seen of them, are thin and his teeth are beginning to yellow thanks to a combination of cigarettes and coffee.

Attire: Owen dresses casually more often than not. He wears a thin, gray zip-up hoodie over a faded “I'm a Pepper!® ” t-shirt. A pack of cigarettes and a lighter can be see trying to make a daring, if suicidal, escape from the pockets of the hoodie. His dark blue jeans are straight-legged and fit well, although he still wears a brown canvas belt. His socks are a mismatch of whatever the hell he could find, the current ones being a solid black one and an argyle one. His shoes are a well-worn pair of Chucks. In his pants pockets Owen carries a smart phone with a shattered screen, a house key, and a thin wallet.

If you met this person on the street and didn’t know them, what would be your first impression of them?

Generally, the first impression Owen gives is anything but impressive. Despite his height Owen seems more awkward than threatening at first glance, and his mildly higher-pitched voice and occasional stammer certainly does not help him command respect. As well, people tend to notice his constant fidgeting, often making people think he is either on something, up to something, or would be doing something else than talk to them. A lingering odor of stale cigarettes does not seem to make people warm to the idea of him being around, either.
