Below is a bit of code for those that find it difficult to churn out a description for their character. With all of the character's I've ever made I find this sort of boost helpful and decided to offer it to the masses with hope that it helps everyone. The Descs themselves aren't perfect, but they are just truly supposed to be inspiration that is manipulated into a final more personal product. — Boo

Just copy and paste everything (I know it's a lot but when it's done it's not all that much at all, the options just inflate it visually at first) in the box below into the section on your wiki page for Description. Alter what comes after the ='s picking one of the many many many options I've given or put in your own! This will provide a base, two piece outfit, and dress/gown separated descriptions. Things such as scent/perfume, tattoos, scars and make-up lines can be attached to the base desc if you prefer, where you prefer. Only fill in up to the accent= line if you only care about the base desc and don't want to worry about the outfit parts.
