      I honestly much prefer games with a +glance code or similar. Where I can just fill in a character’s basic stats: Height, build, skin colour, hair colour, etc.

      Then I just hit +glance and it lists off the brief stats of everyone in the room so I can keep that in mind as I’m posing.

        Granted, this may be my own bias with hating writing them myself that I’m giving a gift that was never really afforded to me.

        Use the secret cheat code and just take an older @desc then change it around slightly. BOOM.

          That’s more than I do.

              PBs frustrate me. I write a character description and then I have to go to the internet to find someone famous enough that matches the description I wrote. And then I’m typically not allowed to use pictures of anyone else.

              I’m here for the words. They’re delicious and crunchy.

              I guess this speaks to my point? If you don’t like them, you shouldn’t feel like you’re obliged to find one!
              And @arkandel I disagree completely, but to each their own. As a VI player though, the whole what is even the point of a description thing feels kind of exclusionary. But I also understand you about how including outfits as part of a desc is annoying, which is why I favor games where I can describe clothes separately and wear them!
              @Pavel yes, that would be awful, lol

                But that was my point; if setting a description is mandatory then you literally are obligated to find one. 🙂

                  … except you’re not. You can write a description without finding a picture.

                      Outsource your descriptions to AI.

                      Write a character description for me for a Sci-Fi themed game for a 27 year old man who is quite tall. They have brown hair, a scar across their left eye. Their eyes are dark green and they have brown hair. A little bit of a beard so describe them similar to Charles Dance without saying his name.

                      “The 27-year-old man stands tall at over 6 feet, with a strong build and chiselled features. He has dark brown hair, with a hint of a beard on his jawline, giving him a rugged, yet refined look. A scar runs across his left eye, adding a hint of danger and mystery to his appearance. His dark green eyes are piercing, seeming to take in everything around him. Overall, he has the air of a confident and experienced individual, reminiscent of a seasoned leader.”

                        I mean, you just wrote a description right there.

                              I would like to challenge this. You might have the most average, middle of the road person in the world, but that person will still have a collection of features you can identify and put to words that is unique to them. If describing an utterly unremarkable character, I break it down into hair color/style, eyes, skin tone, body type, and movement, as every person possesses some combination of these. And if they don’t, that’s worth remarking on.
                              or just go with @Whisky’s idea if you can’t be bothered, that desc was good!

                                      I used to be able to write descs, before I took an arrow to the knee. Thank goodness for roster games, I’d be in trouble without.

                                        @IoleRae Is it something that just happens to us as we age? We get less able to write a paragraph of abstract screed, but we can still type out reams of dialogue or verbiage in our RP?

                                          I like writing descs.

                                          Just of people, though. Places and things can get fucked.

                                          let it be a challenge to you
