survey from hell?!?!?!
slowwwwly filling this out, but god is it tl;dr
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
them gunzzz. yozak isn't exactly adelbert, but he is HUGE. they don't call him miss biceps for nuthin'. all in all though, he's pretty lanky.
2. How old is he?
no clue. the wiki says that conrart is ninety-six, so i'd place yozak somewhere around there. i like to think that maybe he's a little younger than conrart, which would explain a lot of the sort of relationship they have.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
all things considered, yozak doesn't have great posture. they show him slouching a lot in the anime, and his shoulders have a tendency to roll forward when he does his drawly thing. a lot of the time, he comes off like he's sad or exasperated. of course, then there's yozak during a fight, in which he is a completely different guy.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
them gunnnnnzzzzz. yozak is fit as a fiddle, though i have no clue how. he drinks a lot and i seriously doubt that he eats anything but red meat and -- well, red meat. his health habits remind me of fred flintstone's description of his father.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
yozak is so strange. even when he's in disguise, he has this lazy way of moving, like someone's yanking him around by fifty foot strings. at the drop of a hat, though, he turns into this graceful beast and he can more than hold his own in a fight against anything. he even fights himself a few times, which i'm sure he just had a blast doing. i guess it'd be mostly accurate to say that he's a thing of beauty and grace when he wants to be, but that's when he's not distracted by looking like he's about to doze off.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
everyone tends to think that he's adorable. yuuri comments a lot on how beautiful he is, oddly enough, and in the books he admires his physique a lot. this is why you have no woman, yuuri. other than when he is obviously concerned with his disguises, i don't think that yozak concerns himself a lot with his appearance. he looks like he just rolled out of bed and made off with the first piece of fabric that stuck to his body most of the time, and his hair isn't neat or anything, but there's no denying that he has an otherworldly sort of confidence. i could imagine him flashing a wink at his reflection in the mirror or something, but then he'd go right back to totally forgetting all about it later.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
yozak is this | | close to being a ginger. it's pretty safe to say that, going by how outdoorsy the man is, yozak has a healthy collection of scars, but he takes care of his face. he's a spy, after all.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
color-wise? it's so obnoxious that it matches bio-hazard signs. it looks like it's got a bit of curl to it, but it's been so bogged down with sweat and rain and whatever the hell else yozak gets into throughout the day that it hasn't had a chance to really section off. he keeps it long, and in his eyes, because of course all swordsmen need ungainly hair in their eyes or they just can't do their jobs, goddamnit.
9. What color are his eyes?
blue.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
the animators like to mess around with this a lot, and you see it in the art a few times but . . . he has these two bright red bands encircling his arm. sometimes he covers them, but if he's in his patented streetwear, you can see them a few times.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
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?
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
