[CFUD:Meme] Appearance thing o/
JUST A REMINDER, For those of you viewing this on the network who might not know, there is a journal filter link in the bar on the right that makes it so you only see the posts to the communities, if you're sick of the memes.

Clothing/Appearance:
He dresses Victorian: Nicely tailored suits that are fairly conservative looking, including a vest, white gloves unless he's using his hands for something, belt, polished shoes, sometimes spats, a tie when appropriate... He prefers the less froofy kinds of ties, so it's either just a normal one or like the ribbon he wears with his central uniform, which pretty much lies flat, no bows or anything. He doesn't have a huge variety of clothes really, but he has like.. formal suits, and.. slightly less formal suits, which I guess have less trimming and are made of materials that are easier to move in. Also, with the exception of his pajamas, all of Link's shirts are high collared and cover his neck. I think he prefers muted colors--whites and grays and beiges and browns--over more striking colors, including stuff like satin black, which he won't wear. His clothes are always neatly pressed if he can help it.
His features are sharp and angled, and even if he's not making a face he comes off as a little severe. He's got a narrow body type, so he is pretty slim, a little under 5'8" and about 140 lbs, which is apparently pretty reasonable. But yeah, narrow shoulders, narrow hips, even his hands are narrow and long-fingered. Basically Link is surprisingly delicate looking for a guy who can mysteriously punch through walls without the aide of Innocence.
:) Link's hair is pretty. Well, not the haircut itself, exactly, but the texture of it is nice. He takes good care of it and keeps the ends neat and trimmed. It's smooth and naturally straight and doesn't really have any fly-away strands, so his braid is pretty much never frayed. Also he won't leave his hair down if he can help it. It'll always be in that braid unless he is showering or waiting for it to dry or something.
The dots on Link's forehead aretwo moles, so they're.. probably natural. actually not natural at all! They're red and represent his Crow membership.
Habits/Mannerisms/Body Language:
lolo thinking about how to describe the way Link holds himself always makes my inner 12yearold laugh... "At attention?" "Erect?" But uh, yeah, basically his back is always straight and his head is pretty much always held up, even if he's looking down. If he leans down he bends at the waist rather than curling his back/slouching. He could probably balance a book on his head while he walks no problem. He isn't particularly tense or anything, but his posture will always be very proper unless he's in action.
His hands also are rarely moving around. Most of the time they're held either at his sides or crossed behind his back. When they are moving the motions are very purposeful and economical (except in chess where he will make that thinking motion you see above).
Link is pretty direct and tends to make eye-contact when speaking to people. He will also always make sure to stand outside of someone's personal space and his way of speaking is kind of distancing. In terms of how his body language broadcasts how well he gets along with a person, he actually tends to be pretty much the same with everyone, whether he likes them or not. His expressions and the way he talks to someone is a clearer indication of how he feels about them--but not always, since so many of his faces are variations of 'neutral scowl'.
However, depending on how someone acts towards him physically, they will get slightly different reactions. Physical contact just for the sake of it is a little odd for him, but he tolerates it fairly well with people he likes. If it's someone he doesn't like he will shrug them off right away. Also, with people he is familiar with, if he gets mad he's more likely to shake them. Otherwise, when Link initiates physical contact it's usually geared towards comforting someone, but most times it will be disguised as a more practical gesture, like carrying Allen to the Hospital level, or a nudging someone towards a destination.
Basically LINK IS VERY PROPER AND RESERVED regardless of who you are.
Current Residence: The Reappropriated Hate Shack
Typical Daily Routine: ...I always skip these. ALL I KNOW IS HE AND ALLEN PROBABLY WAKE UP SUPER EARLY. And on Sundays after Mass--or when Mass would normally be if it isn't held in camp--he relaxes.
Favourite Haunts: ...Uh. Wherever Allen is? I think he makes sure to stop by the chapel weekly and also often can be found baking at the mess hall.
Does he make his own bed?: Of course.
