I usually have overly elaborate descriptions. I go over every inch of my char until I've got them perfectly visualized in my mind. With this one I tried to take a simple approach. Just the basics of what he looks like, and let the reader form the rest in their own minds. Please tell me how I did... or if I should make it more detailed. Also if you see any spelling or grammar mistakes let me know. A slender, dark haired half elf stands before you humming a slow tune almost to himself. He looks as though he is in a world all his own, drifting somewhere between here and whatever place his thoughts have travelled. His eyes look like they have seen storms. They seem to speak a tale of woe and grief such to make the heavens cry. He is fair skinned but has hair the color of pitch. The contrast between the two creates a striking look that is not at all unpleasing. His hair is cropped short above his dull-pointed ears and in the back of his head, but grows longer into bangs in the front. His fingertips are calloused from playing his instrument, but he shows no signs of holding a blade too much. He looks fit, as though he walks a lot, but not incredibly strong. He always speaks in a smooth sounding voice that reminds you of a deep sounding gong.
