I'm not sure how I was thinking in my previous post. It had some logic to it in my head, but it seems all gone now.

I guess that's what you get from programming for 10 hours straight. :)

I think it's five centimeters to an inch and then 12 inches to a foot...

A foot is about 30.5cm and an inch 2.54cm. An inch is the same as Zoll in German. I consider 6 feet the benchmark for average height. (Coming from the 6'4'' perspective.)
Pretty in pink.

just throwing this out there, but Google is good for this...


like...

"5 feet to cm"

and google says:

"5 feet = 152.4 centimeters"

Google is awesome....

Dudel's version of American Scale

Tall Dude like UBER tall = 6ft +

Taller Than Average = 5'9" - 6' even.

Medium/average = 5'6" - 5'9"

Shorter Than Average = 5'4" - 5'6"

Holy Uber Short Batman = Under 5'4"

There are some degrees though. Someone who's 5'3" could still only be "kinda short" while someone 6'1" might only be "kinda tall". This ranges males and females so has a bit of discrepancy. That's at least how seen by this American.

So in my POV anyone from 5'3" - 6'1" is normal height and doesn't REALLY break any "lines" of freakish. Though a six foot woman would look a bit weird. O.O

10/15 done.

Its fun so far. Be interesting to see when they come into roleplaying, but I guess because of naming, thats most likely to happen on meeting someone.

Hey cool, the new forum allows changing your vote. I've got all done now. I had fun describing my Finnish characters since I hadn't thought of their appearances in great detail before, so I went with their personalities and physical strength. Also took into account that they've spent almost their whole life outdoors, so that would make them tanned, at least for the parts that are exposed. The first one has a lot of clothes but the other one is rather primitive.

Maybe a bit exaggerated, I couldn't position the head quite how I wanted it, but I loved to draw the tanning.
