It's good not to make characters look perfect, at least give them a little imperfection to catch people's eyes. There are many with freckles, messy hair, bad posture, some with big ears and crooked teeth. Smells are more rarely included. I find it quite charming when people are described having dirt under their nails because then you can see the person works with one's hands without having to underline it. There was even someone with hands dyed orange, I assume it was from carrots but that sounded very interesting and personal.
There is a striking amount of people described as always having a smile on their faces and if all those people were put in the same location, it would creep me out. Also it kinda turns me off when people have perfect hair, especially if they're older people.

Re: Custom Descriptions
It's reassuring for me that a decent number of people have ordinary looking or ugly chars. Shows at least some thought to RP.

Yes, Seko's stats have made me feel better about character descriptions in Cantr though still I'm a little unhappy with the general set of things.
