▷ first impressions — ▶VISUAL:Gintoki has a pale complexion with red eyes that are often equated with those of a dead-fishes. His facial features droop lazily which gives way to a rather disheveled appearance. He typically wears his school uniform with his blazer unbuttoned, though when not in school he wears clothing that involves several, unkempt layers. While his form is stocky with natural muscle tone, he has a consistent layer of “squish” over his muscles. Rumors fly that he would "clean up" well, but really he simply looks as if he has no goals, no ambitions, and low morals. ▶AURAL:Gintoki is played by Tomokazu Sugita. While his voice is typically low, he can hit incredibly high tones and certainly has no issues shrieking. His voice is highly versatile and can hold a great deal of emotion. Though he typically speaks in a manner that is rambling and disaffected, he often lilts his voice when referring to others by name in order to properly tease them. Though as he gets progressively more excitable or caught up in a topic, he will often speak faster and his pitch will rise. His manner of speech could be described as vulgar and blunt… unless he wants something. Then he’ll use the proper polite expressions and honorifics in hopes of weaseling his way out of a situation. Oh, and he cannot sing. At all. ▶ SCENT:Misc. Japanese sweets most commonly. Other scents range from rotted sugar morning breath, alcohol, terrible feet stank if his boots are off (wear socks, boy we’re begging you), sweat, iron (blood). ▶BEHAVIOR:Gintoki is a lazy man with little care for societal formalities. He insists on being casual, even if it may be inappropriate for the situation. In order to make connections with others, he will often start petty confrontations to see if those around him will take his bait. Though how much energy Gintoki expends during any given moment is solely up to him. If he’s not feeling up to “wasting” his energy, then he will simply resort to being a sluggish bastard. A boy who enjoys being in the background just as much as the foreground, he often takes the time to simply watch the city around him - free from any obligations. Despite this lazy demeanor, he can be driven to outbursts of emotion. When driven into rage, Gintoki shows to be erratic in his mannerisms. If fear takes hold of him, he will scream and run away.
▷ Elaborations — ▶skin
|COMPLEXION|
Albino. Normal/Sensitive skin. Especially vulnerable to sunburn.
|SCARS/AMPUTATIONS/PROSTHESIS/SURGERY MARKINGS|
A few scars here and there from a rambunctious childhood, though nothing of significance.
▶face and body
|FACIAL STRUCTURE|
Possesses a clear, masculine bone structure. His cheeks are squishy and resemble that of mochi when pinched. His eyes tend to droop and his brows are often arched in disinterest.
|TEETH|
White, straight, though his back teeth have fillings as a result of cavities.
|RANGE OF EXPRESSION|
Neutral expression: dim-witted staring. His range of expression is incredibly wide, and he has the ability to impressively screw his face in a number of different ways. If he's expressing something it's often an over-the-top version.
|BODY TYPE|
Gintoki possesses a stocky build. His shoulders and chest are broad. His muscle-tone is pronounced and are most notable in the area of his upper torso and biceps. On top of his muscle-top lays a fine layer of fat which leaves him with a rather "soft" feeling body. His ass, in particular, has a great deal of "squish" thanks to his lazy lifestyle.
|ARM/HAND DETAIL|
Gintoki's biceps are firm and cause his shirts to fit rather firmly in this area. He has an even muscle tone through-out. The palms of his hands are broad and his fingers are long.
|LEG/FOOT DETAIL|
Gintoki's legs are toned, much like the rest of him. They are average for his body-type. His feet have a propensity to smell since this boy can't be assed to wear socks.
▶image and style
|POSTURE, GESTURES AND MOVEMENT|
When walking, Gintoki often walks slouched forward with a lazy, almost drunken gait. Gintoki will often gesture to get people's attention or to make a point in an argument. He is quick to jump to petty acts of violence when angered.
|TYPICAL FASHION CHOICES|
Gintoki's fashion choices are a hybrid of comfortable and layers. While he would like to look as if he just rolled out of bed - he does secretly want to maintain a "cool" image. His color palette sits in pastels (light blue, pink, white) or stark colors (black, red, blue). He often wears clothing that fits his upper torso snugly, though he will also have clothes with more flow from time to time.
|SELF-IMAGE|
Gintoki's projected self-image is one that mixes little effort and "cool." He would like to look like he puts zero-effort into how he looks, though he will get skittish/embarrassed if someone needles his fashion choices too much. He tends to blame his natural perm for every one of his short-comings.
