 +DESCRIPTIONS DESCRIBE
  
 +Your character's description is how your character looks, of course.
 +
 +We don't want to give you too many rules to cramp your style or ruin your own expression, but if
 +you're struggling to start:
 +
 +The senses
 +The most important senses regarding a character's description are sight and smell, as these are
 +senses most (meta)humans pay attention to. The former deliberately, the latter (usually)  
 +subconsciously.
 +
 +First to back describing
 +Doesn't have to be in that or any other given order, but we would prefer if all the major aspects of
 +the character's "look" were described so people can get an impression.
 +-What is their silhouette like? "Is he/she a short, stout elf or a tall slender dwarf, or just
 +average?"
 +-What color is their skin? Are they pallid and greasy, or olive-skinned and tanned?
 +-What color is their eyes?
 +-Do they have any distinguishing marks, such as scars, tattoos, et cetera? Keep in mind, not only do
 +people go in for piercings but you are also capable of getting electric, light-up tattoos, fiber-
 +optic hair installed, or other 
 +things that have no mechanical affect but would change your appearance and reasonably be available
 +in cyberpunk. Contact staff if you wish to purchase customized cosmetic 'ware.
 +-What color is their hair if they have any at all?
 +-What is their style of dress?
 +-Are they neat and tidy in appearance or ragged and grungy in appearance?
 +People might be wearing identical clothes, but there is a world of difference between the two
 +presentations, or any mix inbetween.
