Example of a bad character description.
An example of a bad description. Example 1: As you take a quick look at this warrior you first notice his expression. There is no emotion present. You glimpse into his black soul as you look in his eyes. You can only assume that those eyes have seen more than any mortal man should have observed. Feeling uncomfortable, you survey the rest of his attire. You note that his long black hair is the same color of his armor. The armor is quite interesting as it is shaped to fit his exact body features. Around the collar there is attached a long cloak of the same black color, but with the inside a deep red.
1) Who says I just looked quickly at him? Assume nothing when you make your desc. I could have stared at him for an hour. 2)"You glimpse into his black":. About 85% of characters I have seen seem to have some hidden background that you can tell by looking in their eyes. I personally don't go around examining people's souls and dispositions by looking into their eyes. 3) Never tell me what I assume by looking at you and Never tell me what I feel by looking at you. 4) Refrain from telling me that something is interesting. Make it interesting. Nothing is eternally interesting. Just as people will look at you and assume and feel different things, they will find interest in different things about you. Tell me your armor is unique, not interesting. Describe an intricate pattern that lines it. Make it aesthetically pleasing and it will be interesting. 5) This whole desc is through and I know only one, true thing about how you look, that you have long, black hair which is pretty cliche in itself. What color are your eyes? What body type are you? I assume you are a cliche, hulking, He-Man but you have never told me for sure.
