(no subject)
Clothing/Appearance:
Unlike, say, the rest of my cast, Ronan actually gets a canon height and weight. He's 178cm tall and 64 kilograms, which makes him a tall skinny beanpole of a kid. Which ... is pretty canon actually. He probably fits in well with the anime noodley dudes, despite being like. a head taller than most of them, which amuses me utterly.
His eyes and hair are "dark" which I assume to mean "brown" and "dark brown/black" respectively although I suppose his eyes could be dark blue. One day I'll get clarification on this but until then they're brown. His hair is long enough to be shaggy and fall over one of his eyes (the left, I believe!). He ... is hard to describe because the first time DD described him, he was kind of awkward and ungainly but hella charismatic and in dark lighting a lot, and then in the second book he's in, Carmela thinks he's drop dead gorgeous. And apparently he's self-conscious about his appearance or something later on. Needless to say this will be clarified in the next book, whenever it comes out here.
Thanks to our canon update I assume that Ronan's got some scarring from being ... well ... impaled on a flaming stick. Not many people see it because he doesn't really walk around shirtless in camp because that's just silly. Although naked day will be fun.
As for clothing, Ronan is always, always always in black, even if it would be incredibly impractical. I think he's borderline goth/punk in how he dresses but finding someone who dresses like that who's the right age is hard. Anyway, he mostly wears black jeans, black boots, black shirts and if it's a bit cool, a black bomber jacket as well. Somehow he makes this work. God only knows how.
Habits/Mannerisms/Body Language:
Ronan stomps around everywhere. It's how he rolls. He's always acting like he has a chip on his shoulder and you're the cause of it ... but that every so often there's glimpses of how he's also amusing himself by how you react to his being a grumpy teenaged boy. Basically while Ronan is an angry teenaged boy, he's an angry teenaged boy who's secretly a bit of a troll.
Basically if he's friendly with you and you're a guy, Ronan's body language is pretty hilariously open. He punches people in the arm when they are being idiots, he fistpumps with Kit, he probably kicks people too when they're being dicks. He probably wrestles his good friends for things because he is a Dumb Boy and that is what they do. He tends to slouch somewhat -- enough to carry off that rebel without a cause thing he's got going there.
Ronan gestures the most of my characters. He uses his hands a lot when he's talking, and he fiddles with things when he's not using them. He tends to build abstract structures out of things when he's thinking. He also has this unfortunate habit of being topped by animals. Always. So he ends up with a menangerie in his tent and on his person. Currently he has a piece of sentient memory wire that curls around his wrist and forearm.
Also. He follows the rugby avidly. Somehow.
Current Residence(s):
Wizards tents! I can't tell you where they are, as the tents move around every day, depending on where Filif wants to be.
Typical Daily Routine:
He swears at the gorillas when they come and collect him in the morning, and spends his breakfast scowling at everything, including his breakfast cereal, and tries not to fall asleep. After breakfast, he goes back to bed because it is disgustingly early and sleeps in until midday. Then, he goes to the library, drops off the three million books he borrowed and borrows out some more, all while pretending that he's not a regular there, and reads them while eating lunch. After that, he reads, plays sport if he can get a team together, annoys people, tries to resist the urge to toiletpaper wherever England is staying out of principle, feeds his menangerie, eats dinner and then whatever's going on in camp. During all this he does minor wizardries along the way to try and make things easier for people. He also checks on the barrier every so often to see if he can predict when people are going to be let out. Most of the time he watches it just before people attack it because I'm a horrible person. He works on stuff until about midnight or two am, goes to sleep and then three hours later the gorillas wake him up.
Favorite Haunts:
The mess hall, the library, wherever the hell the tents are that day, the Bug.
Does he make his own bed?:
Yes, he built it out of wood -- OH WAIT. No. He doesn't.
