Character Survey of Doom

[heartstorage]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Sora is somewhere between 4'10" to 5'0", very much on the short side. He's pretty scrawny and skinny build as well.

2. How old is he?
I believe as of Dream Drop Distance he's 15 or 16.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Sora seems to carry himself pretty tall! Probably because...he is pretty short so you need every inch you can get. But overall he's got a pretty relax and chilled posture to him.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He's not a bodybuilder, but he's pretty fit considering he spends all his time running around and fighting. Health wise is pretty good beyond this whole problem where sometimes he becomes a heartless...but you know he's working on that really!!

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
He's shown to be pretty darn graceful considering his fighting style, though not as fluid as some of the other characters. He also has moments of clumsyness, especially when he's really caught off guard. Nothing too bad though!

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
All in all Sora is pretty average levels in terms of physical appearance. He's not bad looking, but he definitely doesn't stand out or turn heads. I'd imagine he perceive himself as any young teenage boy in the mirror- forever wishing he'd hit the magical puberty that will make him fill out.

Poor thing will probably never get it.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
He's white but seems to have a bit of a tan from living in a tropical area all his life. Complexion overall seems pretty clear.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
His hair is a spikey brown mess. It seems like it's naturally like that too, as when he shakes out water at the end it goes back to being spikey

9. What color are his eyes?
Blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Really big feet. I'm not kidding man, his feet are unnaturally big in proportion to his body.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
No idea!

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
He's a Nomura character, so zippers, belts and straps galore! He seems to favor a t-shirt jacket and shorts with a tee underneath. He also wears fingerless gloves and a crown necklace. Overall his style seems pretty casual though and you never see him in anything formal. It also seems as he's gotten older, he enjoys darker colors compared to his younger self.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
They seem pretty comfy on him yeah! Except for when you know, he wakes up from a year long coma. Then they don't fit so good.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Considering he didn't get a chance to change after his island got destroyed- yeah. He wears the same stuff on the job too.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Proobably boxers?


Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
After hitting puberty, it's a medium level voice that is distinctly male. He's voiced by Haley Joel Osment in all his appearances.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He talks pretty evenly, though it's fully of the emotion that he's feeling at the time. He speaks what's on his mind, and is pretty casual about it all and all.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
None that I've noticed? He's a Disney character, so he doesn't swear!

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
He's fluent in whatever is the common language of his universe. I'm guessing it's either English or French. English because it's Disney, French because half the effing worlds take place in France I swear

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.
