AARON STRIDER Appearance: He is 6'2", 35, but looks about ten years older. He's tall, obviously, with a very wiry build. There's little to no actual muscle definition, but he's stronger than he looks. Face-and-hair-wise, for the sake of simplicity the icons are accurate: light brown hair, short, parted to the side. This is Aragorn, so I feel I need to specify that his hair is clean and not this mess.
As for clothes, he dresses professionally enough when he's in the clinic -- collared shirt (no tie) under a white coat. Outside of it, though...his clothes are all very clean but kind of old/worn. He wears simple, generic things that aren't in danger of going out of fashion, often in layers that make him look like a street person.
Probably the most distinctive thing Aaron Strider wears is a gray overcoat that comes down to about his knees. It's a damn good coat, and even though he's had it for a long time, it's in good repair. He'll wear it less as the weather warms up, though.
Voice: Yep, we're going with Viggo Mortensen here, too, but the accent is Midwestern. Very generically-American, not a whole lot stands out about the way he talks.
Smell: Aaron smells very clean. If he's just left the clinic, the disinfectant-smell clings to him for a while, but otherwise it's a neutral, clean smell. There is no pot smell to him -- he doesn't indulge nearly as often as I joke about. It's an extremely rare thing.
General: Aaron's eyes can get real fucking intense, man. It's not to the point of canon, where if he gives you a Look it's hard to meet his gaze, but there's something unsettling about them. Aaron doesn't do it much, since unless he's doing something important he prefers to fade into the background and observe, but if he fixes you with a piercing or a searching look? You'll probably feel a little uncomfortable or awkward.
Also he was a huge cutie when he was younger. Yep.
ARAGORN II ELESSAR TELCONTAR (aka when Aaron gets his canon body back)
Appearance: Most notably, Aaron will get four inches taller and his hair will turn black. He's also going to look at least five years younger than he actually is, since Numenorians live to be 200+ years and age slowly. He'll gain muscle, though his general build will still be tall and lean rather than broad-chested.
HE IS NOT REGAINING THE HORRIBLE AWFUL LIVING-IN-THE-WOODS-WITHOUT-EVER-CHANGING-CLOTHES RANGERSMELL

I JUST WANT TO GET THAT OUT THERE
dirty ranger version
....I tried really hard to find a clean king version but had a really hard time of it, funnily enough, so you get no picture of him all cleaned up.
HOWEVER, YOU DO GET THIS EXTREMELY APPROPRIATE DRAWING.
