_____________________________________________________________________________ | The lad in the photo leans toward the camera with one eye squeezed shut, his | | tongue out and a fag dangling from his lip. | | | | | | This is a thug, a brute, a stain on humanity in his early twenties. | | He is 5’10” and has tanned, ruddy flesh, brown hair, and amber eyes. | | You can see his face, neck, and hands. | | | | A lean, rough-edged Scouser with a mop of blonde-brown hair, pale eyes and a nose that’s clearly lost an argument or two. There’s something restless about him even when he’s standing still; shoulders loose, weight forward, grin crooked like he’s already thought of something he probably shouldn’t say. Old scars disappear beneath his collar and across his knuckles, while his teeth seem just a fraction too sharp when he smiles. He has the look of a man who treats danger as an inconvenience and good sense as somebody elses problem. | | | Broad hands terminate in thick fingers and battered knuckles, the latter carrying enough old scar tissue to suggest that punching things has long been less an emergency measure than a recurring hobby.A low, broad forehead sits beneath heavy brows, broken near one temple by an old pale scar that disappears into his hairline and suggests somebody once tried very hard to improve his appearance.A thick neck rises from heavy shoulders, marked along one side by several old, uneven scars whose origins are difficult to mistake for anything gentle. | | | His face is broad through the jaw and roughened by permanent dark stubble, with a nose that’s plainly been broken before and a crooked smile made slightly less friendly by unusually pronounced canine teeth.His dark brown-blonde hair is worn roughly mopped, styled by fingers alone with little apparent concern given to keeping it neat.Pale grey-blue eyes watch the world with a restless, predatory attentiveness, their usual amusement capable of disappearing with unsettling speed when something catches his temper. | | | | | | | He is using: | | (D) a battered brown shearling jacket with a shaggy cream lining | | a charcoal henley hanging loose | | a small bone charm hanging from a dark cord at his throat | | | | faded black jeans worn soft and rough at the knees | | heavy dark work boots scuffed pale at the toes | | | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
