Simple question, but one I've been mulling for a bit now. How important is the attractiveness of your characters to you? When looking for pictures of them do you look for ones that are attractive looking? Do you go digging for male or female models? Or do you just find one that fits the setting rather than how they look?

I try to fit the setting. When I do go for sexy face claims, it's usually for evil characters. Sexy is dangerous yo.

What about when writing out a description of their appearance, do you describe them with attractive features or even write out that'd they'd be considered 'good looking'?

For me, it's more about standing out than looking hot/ugly. I joined a post apocalyptic space RP with a girl that wanted to be a movie star. She was of course a hot blond who wore extremely loud outfits. In that setting, there was no one even close to that character. In an epic medieval setting, I had a young woman with a scar on her face surrounded by a bunch of handsome older men. I never said she was beautiful, but one of the other player characters tried to draw a picture of her naked. But the character in question was a cave hermit, so he might have just been desperate.
