I decided to write a sample character based on my own rules.  Most of it is done but I'll have to type up and edit in the rest when I get off work tonight.  

[@Blue Dog] [@Silver Carrot] Maybe this will give you some ideas?  Even if not, this was fun to do!

[hider=Sample Character]
[b]Name:[/b] Brian Jacquelyn Walker

[b]Approximate Age Range:[/b] Early 20’s

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]
Appearance:[/b] Brian stands at a middling height of 5’9.  He weighs 163 lbs but tends to appear a bit thinner due to his arms; his forearms are fairly slim and his biceps are budding but unimpressive.  In contrast his hands are rugged and worn, a result of his hobby of woodworking.  He is broad-shouldered but lacks the muscle definition to appear threatening or strong.  His dark brown hair is kept short on the sides but is a bit fuller on top, which often leads to rather serious bed head upon waking up.  He often keeps a scraggly beard, more out of an unwillingness to shave than any attempt at fashion.  Brian’s unusually bushy eyebrows dwarf his small brown eyes.  Underneath those eyes are dark circles of sleeplessness that never seem to go away.        

[b]Attire:[/b] Brian wears a green plaid button-up shirt with thin black stripes, its long sleeves hiding much of his arms.  His light blue jeans are somewhat baggy and tend to bunch up at the junction between the lower legs and feet.  He sports time-worn black Reebok tennis shoes, the shoelaces appearing frayed and the back of the left shoe’s sole vainly attempting to escape.  Wrapped firmly around his neck is a simple necklace, the thin black links separated by azure beads.  

[b]If you met this person on the street and didn’t know them, what would be your first impression of them?[/b]  At first glance Brian doesn’t seem very warm or forthcoming.  He tends to move his exhausted-looking eyes from place to place without turning his head, seeming to hope no one will notice him if he doesn’t look directly at them.  He keeps his hands in his pockets and walks quickly, as though always late for an appointment.  He wears a mask of stoicism as he moves, his mouth never edging toward amusement or anger.  One would notice a slight southern accent if one could get anything more out him than a dispassionate ‘Hey’.
