1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy? Jing was quite small and slight as a child, and only in his teenage years has he started stretching out. I've always pegged his final height to be right around 6" or just under, but through his teenage years he's about 5'7-5'8. He has an athlete's developed build, being very lean and not overtly muscular despite being stronger than average for his size.
2. How old is he? At present in elegycity, he is 16 now 17. I've picked May 15th as his and Kir's birthday, the date on which the anime started airing (according to Wiki); I usually try and give them some kind of meaning. Plus, in the OVA we know Postino delivers Jing's package when there are leaves on the trees, and the flashback clearly shows a spring or summer day in which they're all playing, so I chose May. For his birthyear, going by the Quinine calendar (so I invented a world calendar, shoot me) he was born in 7QJ30.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch? Casual, for the

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror? As far as looking remarkable goes, Jing doesn't really stand out with any of his features. In fact he gives his appearance very little thought anyway, he's more of a get up and go type. He understands that people (girls especially) might see him as good-looking (which he won't argue with and it makes him feel good) but he considers himself to be pretty average, all in all.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Jing's complexion is in the light-to-fair category, and since he's still young it's clear as well. The lighter complexion helps hide some of the scars he's gotten over the years from various heists so he thinks that's a bonus.)
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style. Black, worn spiky and haphazard. (I think he just rolls out of bed with it.) It holds its shape in water (lol creative animation license) but I think it'd be fairly soft spikes if you touched it.
9. What color are his eyes? Grey. Actually they

11. What are his chief tension centers? His face; Jing doesn't like people casually touching his face. Like in this thread, Jing gladly puts up with Lenalee's swats and pokes until she slaps him in the face, then his whole body language shifts and he's closed, guarded, and very troubled by it. Actually he's a little "enh" about random people touching him in general. Not like "EW DON'T TOUCH ME" but he's never had much of the hugs/headpats/nookies/etc growing up so it seems a bit jarring. Typically he'd prefer to initiate the hug or whatever.
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? HAHAHA. Jing wears a bright yellow-orange coat as his main wardrobe accessory. (image) Granted in Aquavitae this isn't as jarring given the predominant styles there, but it's definitely attention grabbing. It's a huge thing and, if closely inspected, is all cut from a single piece without stitches. The reason for this is because it's
