Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
Most people notice height first. Yes I am tall, four inches from seven feet. But I am not taller than many Heavies recruited. I am large, many say fat. I am not skinny, this is true. But most of my weight is muscle. There is healthy layer of fat to keep me warm, I think. I keep my hair short, unless I am somewhere quite cold, but nowhere is as bad as home so I keep it short. I keep myself clean shaven as well. My hair, is darker than my eyes but they are both brown. I have many scars from career fighting, and from surgeries to fix injuries from fighting Many on chest and belly.. they are not something I am ashamed of. I normally wear Ushanka in poor weather to keep rain from my eyes. I have large nose and strong jaw.

My family was lower in status. Now I have much money, but no care for such things.
