Here's a quick profile for Xue. And you too, if you wanna read it ;p Because I'm horrible at it, here's where I found out my character's ideal height to weight ratio:
http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htmI found the Profile here:
http://suspense.net/profile.htmNAME: Shěn Xue
AGE: 17
HEIGHT: 5'7"
WEIGHT: 130
BIRTH DATE: September 8
HAIR: Somewhat shaggy, light brown
EYES: Hazel
BIRTHPLACE: Hong Kong
OTHER FACIAL FEATURES/OTHER APPEARANCE DETAILS:
The most distinguishing facial feature Xue has is a pink, jagged scar that runs from his right temple to beneath that eye, in a fishhook pattern.
DRESS: Xue wears clothing of no real distinguishable taste. If it's cold outside, he'll wear a heavy jacket. If it's hot out, he'll wear long shorts and a tshirt. While not bland, he comes awful close.
DESCRIPTION OF HOME: Currently, he lives from hotel to hotel until he finds an apartment of his liking. It wouldn't be very realistic of someone his age to find someone to lease to him, so until some paperwork can be falsified or he can pay someone off to sub-lease to a person his age, he dwells at middle-class hotels.
DOMINANT CHARACTER TRAIT: Thoughtfulness. Not in the sense that he's particularly empathetic, just that he's, literally, thoughtful. Unless an action is borne of trained reflex, everything, every word, is carefully contemplated.
SECONDARY CHARACTER TRAIT: Aloofness that borders on a cold personality.
BEST FRIEND: Believe it or not, he does have one. His brother, who seems to be in the typical twin archetype, his almost complete opposite.
Sees self as: An efficient, intelligent young man.
Is seen by others as: A complete weirdo.
Sense of humor: His sense of humor is, as of now, muted and pragmatic. Monty Python? Not funny. Classic SNL? Not funny. Watching someone he doesn't like fall down and hurt themselves? Kinda funny.
Temper: Practically non-existent. If someone does manage to get on his nerves, he'll take it out passive aggressively or, if they somehow do make him lose his temper, he responds violently.
Ambitions: To find himself living comfortably again; strangely, what he find comfortable, others might see as nightmarish.
Philosophy of life: It could end at any moment, so treat each action as carefully and efficiently as possible.
Habits: He hasn't noticed this even of himself, but when he's nervous or sad about something, he fusses with his weapons.
What trait will make character come alive?: His development into a more three dimensional character, and just more of a human being in general.
Why is character likable?: He has flaws, despite how much of a perfectionist he is. Saaad.
