        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.

              @Whisky Hah, nah. I’ll just use my old Charles Dance inspired description.

                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

                              @Pavel I can’t do either of these things. Maybe I’m in the wrong hobby. 😊

                                I’m wayy more comfortable writing descs of places than I am writing them of people.

                                  I think for me it might just be lazy. Anything that smells like homework, I don’t wanna do it for fun. I have far more limited time than I used to for mush pursuits (to be fair, I could make more time), so I want to spend that time doing active things. Some of the stuff I need to do (most of it, really) doesn’t really need sustained effort, so it can be done and I don’t feel like I wasted too much precious “brain on” time on it. Generating new backgrounds / descriptions…it’s not a lot of work, but it SEEMS like a lot of work.

                                  There’s also the possible-rejection=paralysis thing, with descs being your first impression on people. I’m sure that factors in, too.

                                    @IoleRae Oooh. All very good points, something I shall need to consider more thoughtfully - and not at six am after a dozen cups of coffee.

                                      I get self-conscious writing my own descs, so I like writing descs for other friends. I feel way more comfortable getting loose and writing about how hot someone else obviously is (because this is a MU*, obviously everyone’s hot, even the blob people, and yes, that decaying vampire is hot, too).

                                        @Tez Either ridiculously hot, or ridiculously scarred and/or disfigured, which in of itself is also hot.

She’s probably pretty or something but you can’t tell because you can’t even see the lower half of her face, swallowed in the Mariana Trench of her cleavage. It’s anyone’s guess how she can get her mouth on someone to bite them.”
