I just wonder sometimes, why it is that so many people tend to forget important facts like height, body fat and facial features?
I know that some people (most people) find it hard to describe a person's face with words alone and even more so if you have to describe it in as detailed a way as it is necessary to do for other players to be able to picture your character in their minds, so the "facial features" can be explained away by being to hard.
Height, though... I feel that the height of the other characters is very important during interaction. There may be different ideas of what "tall" or "short" is, so those really aren't enough indication of height. If you [writer] is, like, five foot tall, then a six foot character would be tall, but I [reader] might be six foot tall, myself, so I don't feel that that is tall and instead imagine your character being about seven foot, which would tower grandly over my "normal" sized character, who is also six foot ... Or something along those lines.
Body fat or whatever to call it is about the same as with height; my idea of what "chubby" is, might not be the same as what your idea of "chubby" is and even if it was, there are different places for the fat to sit. I, for example, consider myself chubby, but most of my fat is on my ass and boobs, with some of it at my sides, some on my thighs, but barely anything on my stomach, but I've seen other women that I would also call "chubby" who has it all on their stomach.
