Age: 87! But he looks closer to 40.
Height: Word of Tolkien says 6'6". Word of Viggo Mortensen's Actual Height says 5'11". So... yeah.
Weight: STURDY.
Medical Info: Aragorn's had a pretty rough and tumble life, so he has his fair share of minor scars all over. He's human, but he's of Numenorean descent, and Numenoreans have MUCH longer lifespans than humans. He lives to be 210, so he's in his prime.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark brown.
Physical traits: Tall dark and handsome :/a. Aragorn is pretty rugged in appearance, though less so than his icons show; since he's from after his coronation, he's not nearly so scrappy and dirty looking ... at the moment. He's fairly well built and has amazing stamina, but his clothes cover up a lot of that, since they're fairly layered. He'll probably be going about in his ranger gear.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Considering it's ARAGORN it's okay to recognise him. It'll be weird for him if anyone mentions the books/film/whatever, but he can deal. I'm taking him from after his coronation, so nothing from out of the appendices about his future. Not that there's a whole lot of detail. He IS from the movie-verse, so if you say something like "SO HOW 'BOUT THAT GLORFINDEL TAKING FRODO TO RIVENDELL" he will... be confused.
Abilities: Aragorn spent most of his life as a ranger in the wild, so he's exceptionally good at tracking and directions. He's also very skilled at sword and melee fighting, and can go for hours and hours. There are also abilities he has related to being Gondor's king, such as using the Palantirs, but I doubt that'll come up ever.
Notes for the Psychics/Magically or Spiritually sensitive: Nothing I can really think of. He's still a human and while he does keep some thoughts to himself, it's nothing too different from how he behaves normally.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Absolutely.
Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: It's LotR. Of course you can.
Maim/Murder/Death: Talk to me first!
Cooking: He fends for himself pretty easily. Expect him to come home with a slaughtered cow over his shoulder for some good eating.
Other: As I mentioned, Aragorn is from the film version of Lord of the Rings. This does mean some of what happens in the films doesn't happen that way in the books, or some things are switched around, changed up, etc. Now I've read the books and love them dearly, so I will be using them as informational resources; I just won't be doing anything that contradicts the film. For example, he knows who Elladan and Elrohir are, but they certainly didn't join in the Battle of Pelennor Fields with him. So basically, I'll be picking and choosing; I don't see it becoming a major issue unless someone decides to debate the books with him, but please do let me know if I slip up somewhere. Tolkien mythopoeia is srs bizness.
