The formatting is going to be all screwed up cause I pasted from Word, but that's something you'll have to deal with. Different descs are separated by space, it's not all one long description.

Desc + Sun-darkened skin and a face like a thundercloud catch your eye, both belonging;
Desc + to a sinewy warrior clad in natural tones of brown, gray, and red. Close-cut red;
Desc + hair frames his well-tanned visage which is bejeweled with two emerald eyes that;
Desc + serve not as windows, but blockades to his soul, showing nothing but the quiet;
Desc + cold of control. Strong hands, like those of a veteran blacksmith, lightly grip a;
Desc + a spear as if it were a fragile child with broken bones. His armor is both light and;
Desc + and unhindering, allowing him a full range of movement while affording him the;
Desc + maximum available protection. Numerous spears and staves criss-cross his back;
Desc + in loops designed for easy access. Belt-knives cling to his waist in simple sheaths.;
Desc + You notice his lack of sword, odd only because the sword is the weapon of choice;
Desc + for many Therans. He wears what is known as a shoufa in some parts of the world;
Desc + and a black veil hangs loosely in front of his neck. His overall appearance, and the;
Desc + the presence of the shoufa and veil lead you to believe he is of Aiel blood, though;
Desc + their kind are infrequent visitors of these lands.;

desc + A towering behemoth stands nearby. He stands at least 16' tall, slightly above average;
desc + for his kind. He's clad in stone gray robes which are trimmed with silver and gold streaks;
desc + along the edges. His skin is an odd reddish color in most places, with the usual blue of;
desc + the storm giants peeking through here and there, usually in places that are not often ;
desc + exposed, like the palms of his hands and behind his ears. His face looks as though it were;
desc + carved from solid granite, all planes and sharp angles. A brand is on his forehead, but it's;
desc + difficult to make out because it looks to have been vigorously scrubbed with some kind;
desc + of rough object, scabbing slightly and even bleeding a little. Knowing eyes of green;
desc + set upon you with their piercing gaze. He carries a large axe in his right hand, knuckles;
desc + whitening as he flexes his hand around the haft, which is easily the width of a human's;
desc + wrist. A sword hangs in a bejewelled scabbard at his hip, the brilliant gold hilt of the sword;
desc + held down by a colored leather strap. His green hair is closely cut and barely visibile around;
desc + the edges of his battle helm.;

desc + A cold-eyed stare catches your attention, calculating and analyzing everything;
desc + within sight. Those eyes are steely gray and set apart by a thin and prominent;
desc + nose. A hard-angled jaw and squared chin look to have been carved from rock,;
desc + giving this man a stern appearance, almost emotionless. He's clad in fine attire,;
desc + mainly silks and velvets of dark blues and browns, although some leather and;
desc + wool is also noticeable. His armor is unobtrusive, certainly not that of a warrior;
desc + or guardsman, but appears to provide at least fair protection. Wands and staves;
desc + protrude slightly from a blue velvet bag and the crackling of old parchment gives;
desc + away the presence of scrolls as well. His weaponry is unusually large for a mage;
desc + however, consisting of thick bladed axes and other sizeable blades. Even with all;
desc + of the large weapons, hard features, and cold stares, this man still seems to give;
desc + off a warmth, almost as if surrounded by an aura of goodliness.;

desc + A petite young lady stands nearby, clad in armor that she seems to think more a burden;
desc + than necessity. She looks horribly out of place in this land of warriors and wizards, as if;
desc + she'd feel infinitely more comfortable on a farm or at school. A very real looking doll is ;
desc + tucked in her belt, which in and of itself is quite the oddity. Under her armor she wears;
desc + peasant's garb, all tattered rags and baggy cloth. She's very pretty, in a worn out and;
desc + umkempt kind of way. Her brown hair falls in tangles to her shoulders, shining with grease;
desc + and grime. Her face is marred by fresh scrapes and scratches, but even so you imagine;
desc + that underneath it all she's quite striking. Her lips are full and pouting under a slender nose.;
desc + Eyes of emerald gaze at you in an absent and hollow way, as if she were daydreaming. She;
desc + grips her weapon as if it were a sewer rat about to bite her, but you figure even she could;
desc + manage a fatal slice every once in awhile. It looks as though she might be crying, at least;
desc + within.;

Ok, so maybe the formatting won't be all screwed up. The semi-colons are there because I write my desc in Word then paste and they keep me from having to hit return after every line. NT Polemachus 06:02:52 3/30/2000 (0)
