Character Physicality!
Because sometimes there are things about your characters that you WANT people to notice, but that doesn't come across from tags or icons.
no subject
Physical age: ~35. A touch of laugh lines, no signs of grey hair.
Height Tall as hell - at 6'5, he's the tallest human/human passing person on the Station (along with Ardyn).
Body Type: The leanest side of beef you ever saw. Just on the reasonable side of underweight, and it's all muscle.
Hygiene: Generally good - showers at the end of the day rather than the beginning. Of note, unlike the icons, Izunia is clean-shaven, and has been for some time now. Hair texture is soft and naturally wavy; his bangs are usually held out of his face by hairpins ranging from "plain black" to "that is literally a glowing star."
Marks: No major scars or birthmarks, however, under his clothes Izunia has extensive tattoos. His back, shoulders, and upper arms are covered in a design of chains strung between two ornate and detailed swords (one fancy greatsword and one technological-looking short sword), with a few other weapons scattered in among the chain links, which hang in six rungs. His chest has an extensive series of black cracks over his heart, out of which fly the silhouettes of eleven small crows (taking flight generally towards his left shoulder). On the back of his left hand is a set of red Command Seals that take the form of a sword with a wing wrapped around it.
Scent: Some smell of 'athletic human,' some smell of 'has a cat,' cinnamon-based cologne. Often cooking-related smells.
Other: Is almost perfectly identical to Ardyn (

Physical age: 26, still in her prime
Height 5'6", but her wizard hat makes her look taller
Body Type: Pudgy/voluptuous. Great butt. Not a lot of muscles.
Hygiene: Extremely good for someone from her era IE she bathes every 1-3 days. Prefers baths and is still getting used to showers. Tends to use bar soap, but not so much body wash or shampoo or anything like that. Scrupulously shaves her legs.
Marks: Missing her left arm. A few minor burns from a spell mishap. Like so
Scent: Wears perfume. Prefers herbal scents.
Other: Tends to wear a pointy hat that wouldn't look out of place on Gandalf the Gray. She has a prosthetic for her left arm that is made of amateurishly forged steel and only has three fingers, but still moves around just as naturally as if it was her real arm. It's a bit heavier than a flesh and blood arm would be so if she's not paying attention she tends to lean to the left very slightly.
no subject
Physical age: 23
Height 5'5"
Body Type: Lean and athletic. Excellent muscles. When she flexes people turn their heads and she loves it.
Hygiene: Ever since she arrived here she has reveled in being ABLE to take a hot shower every day, so her hygiene is excellent
Marks: Lin has had a rough career, leaving her with numerous scars. Her hair is naturally red, as an increase in background radiation in her world has led to numerous harmless minor mutations (and a lot of cancer, but Lin is lucky enough to not have that)
Scent: Lin rarely goes for scents, so mainly what you get is dust and sweat and dirt from working out and training outside.
Other: Lin moves with a weird combination of a dancer's grace and bouncy energy. Despite her constant extravagant movements and gestures, she rarely bumps into people or things, as she's always very aware of her surroundings and her body

Physical age: 19, so she looks her actual age.
Height According to official measurements, she's 167 cm, or just under 5'5. Which sounds small, but she's the tallest girl in her canon.
Body Type: Basically just like the icons. The closest we get to hourglass figure with also being toned from spending over half her life running around swordfighting. Canon gave her some weird butt focus shots rarely?
Hygiene: Mai showers every morning, smells like plain boring soap, and is basically completely boring.
Marks: Two prominent scar placements. One, claw marks on her throat from her execution in Airlocked, is usually visible, but sometimes she wears high collars to cover it up and not trouble people. The other is from a stab wound over her heart and there's a matching one where the sword went through the back.
Scent: Mai doesn't smell like much of anything, except maybe soap. Or possibly beef bowl.
Other: Occasionally accompanied by Bear-san, whose icon may be a baby Florida black bear, but he is now a small robotic toy bear instead. He recently received a knitted bear suit that fits over top of his metal body so he looks a little more like he used to.
no subject
Physical age: She's very clearly An Adult, in her early 20s. She carries herself like someone who (mostly) has her shit together in a way that teenagers usually can't pull off.
Height Canon never gives any official stats I could find, but I guesstimated Yuuri at 5'4'', going by her height in comparison to the other girls and their environment.
Body Type: S o f t. Some of the early manga art is a bit wishy washy but the anime and later manga art are fairly consistent in depicting her with more of an hourglass silhouette. Also there's no neat way of saying it but she has big boobs (but she's a claire character, but you already knew that). She has some pretty minor muscle toning along her arms, but you'll probably only notice if you're specifically looking for it and it looks like she hasn't done much to tone them like that for a while now.
Hygiene: Her hygiene is very good, given that she's been spoiled by Japanese bathing culture. She showers twice a day (once in the morning, once before bed) and keeps herself generally well-groomed. Her hair's very well taken care of – it's one of very few things she lets herself get really vain about – and she uses a lot of scented oils and hair treatments on it to keep it in tip top condition.
Marks: Obviously, there's the beauty mark on her face. She also has a handful of other marks, but they're in places a majority of people won't ever see. One is a small tattoo of an abstract lotus blossom just under the dip of her collar bone. The other is a gnarly scar on her thigh, but that's up high enough that you definitely won't see it.
Scent: She's a soft neesan, so of course she smells nice. Mostly she smells of sweet, girly soaps and perfume but there tends to be a pleasant undertone of earth and flowers, especially if she's been busy in the garden level or greenhouse. As mentioned above, she likes to use hair treatments, so her hair tends to have a nice scent to it as well.
Other: Yuuri rarely, if ever, wears her hair in the style depicted in her icons! 99% of the time, when you see Yuuri around, she's wearing it loose with a braid tied into her hair on one side of her head. If she's busy, she'll put it in a ponytail, but for the most part, it's that cute little braid. As for her clothing style, her day-to-day wardrobe is listed here but for the most part she likes long sleeves, skirts or pants that show a fair bit of leg and layers. Colourwise, she leans towards earthy tones mixed in with blacks, whites and pastels. The overall style is sort of a nice mindpoint between grown up and feminine and more casual and girly – you can see some decent examples on Google right here.

Physical age: Early to mid-30s
Height 6' even
Body Type: Boy got him some muscles! He's not gonna be a bodybuilder anytime soon but he's made a point of working out regularly for the past...like year or more. Broad in shoulders but otherwise pretty well a rectangle. Should focus on leg day more.
Hygiene: A shower every day since he works out erryday and nobody needs that workout stank on them. Should maybe switch to a different brand of mouthwash if only bc he got one from the gacha that makes him be hella honest. Is very low-maintenance. Soap, shampoo, shaving cream, deodorant, and he's good. Comb through the hair, keep the scruff tidy.
Marks: Large Kingsglaive sigil across his back in black outline. Black and blue Blue Army sigil on his left pec. Black Latin/Lucian handwriting up the inside of his right forearm (Auroram videre potest mane tempus expergiscendi, specifically in Ardyn's handwriting) from wrist to elbow basically.
Scent: Vaguely manly sweat? Vaguely plain soap? He doesn't do any aftershave or cologne. Probably smells reminiscent of whatever Ardyn smells like from proximity.
Other: Got some grey in his scruff and speckling his temples. Almost never takes off his wedding ring, except when he's in his fullbody blue space marine armor. Despite his icons, his eyes are vividly green.
no subject
Physical age: late teens/early twenties
Height 6' / 182cm
Body Type: Athletic, broad-shouldered, no butt to really speak of
Hygiene: He'll keep himself as clean as it can be allowed in the situation, and when fully able he showers every day, can't grow facial hair worth a damn, and his hair is naturally thick and bone-white.
Marks: scars He gain some scarring from Dracula adventures - his shoulder was grabbed by a harpy, barely avoided getting gored, and some surface-level shallow cuts. They've all healed to faded pinkish lines. Otherwise his skin is extremely pale.
Scent: Generally faint hint of soap, leather, if he wears cologne, he prefers spicy scents.
Other: His eyes are that edge of blue-gray that looks more blue in brighter lights, and he burns easier than an Irish person foregoing sunscreen in Hawaii.
no subject
Physical age: 16
Height 6'0", he big, though an inch or two of that is probably the hair
Body Type: Josuke is a Joestar and all the Joestar men are PURE BEEF. Josuke is still young enough that he hasn't really filled all the way out, though.
Hygiene: Josuke's hygiene is impeccable. A shower every morning and most evenings, followed by actually spending time styling his hair. The dude is very self conscious of what kind of impression he makes.
Marks: Pic. He has a birthmark shaped like a five pointed star on the back of his left shoulder, and a few nasty looking injuries that are MOSTLY healed over by now, from his final battle with Kira.
Scent: Old Spice.
Other: Yes, he wears the pompadour all the time. Yes, if something messes it up he will stop what he's doing to fix it. Yes, he WILL kick your ass if you make fun of his hair. Josuke takes a lot of pride in his appearance, and tends towards fashionable clothes whenever he can get them. Also, he MOSTLY looks Japanese, but his dad was a brit and he's got vividly blue eyes to show for it.
Female Human Jedi Knight
Physical age: She appears to be about 25 or 26 years of age, but she is only 23 years old.
Height: She is five foot six inches tall, so on the tall end of average human female height.
Body Type: She is a fairly athletic woman, so she is skinny. However, she still has muscles, breasts, and hips.
Hygiene: She showers every day, usually before bed, unless she does not have access to a shower. She uses whatever soap is available, but nothing strong. She wears deodorant and a very soft scented spray - Japanese Cherry Blossom, Strawberry, or Cranberry. She uses shampoo and conditioner, but does not do anything special or harsh to her simple brown hair. It is still very smooth. She styles it the way it appears in icons and the picture below.
Marks: Bastila has a black version of this simple arm band tattoo, but no other markings, scars, birthmarks, or tattoos. This is impressive given that she has seen battle frequently.
Scent: She usually smells of that Japanese Cherry Blossom, Strawberry, or Cranberry body spray. Towards the end of a workout she may smell of sweat and sand, but not strongly. She stays away from strong scents and showers pretty quickly after she sweats.
Other: She holds herself even taller than she is most of the time. She rarely smiles, but when she does it lights up her face. Her blue eyes are deep and piercing. She wears a closely fitting, but fully covering body suit, as seen. She always wears browns and blacks and greens, the earth tones of the Jedi.
Here is a decent picture of her.

Physical age: Young adult nearing his 20's.
Height 5' 10". One of the taller people in his original canon
Body Type: Slightly toned, athletic build for someone who's active. Kind of on the slim side, but not so much. Average weight.
Hygiene: Fairly good. Showers every day he can, uses soap and hair products. His hair's a bit scruffy, but it's clean.
Marks: His ears are pierced. One in the left ear and six in the right. His right eyebrow used to be pierced, but he's let it close up and the leftover scar is so small it's barely noticable. Other than that, he has some minor scarring from being forced to wear a tight fitbit for over a month, but since he got it removed he tends to keep it covered up with his smartwatch.
Scent: He tends to use herbal scented soaps so he ends up with a slight scent of fruit or sea foam when he gets out of the shower.
Sadly, they don't make avacado scented body wash. I think.Other: His fashion sense can be described best as "bohemian meets harajuku." He tends to mix and match the stuff in his wardrobe and tends to accessorize with the sort of jewelry you'd find at a new age magick shop. On excursions and explorations he does have the sense to dress appropriately. If there's no special weather conditions he knows of, he'll default to comfortable clothes paired with suitable hiking boots.
He's seen carrying around a shoulder bag on a semi-regular basis. It's where he keeps a notebook and pencil for communication when the smartwatch's hologram just doesn't cut it...
Ah, did we mention Rantaro's mute? He's capable of vocalizing but he can't really say more than one or two words... If any. This is something he's trying to fix, but it's gonna take a while assuming that he doesn't accidentally get cured of his muteness by magic.
