yeah i don't have a good title for this

BUT! OKAY! I want details about your beautiful bodies, reincarnates! Details that might not be clear in your icons! How tall are you? You don't need to give me your weight if you don't want, but what's your build and what kind of muscle do you have going? What's your age, do you look it? What's your default expression? Are you lively or more subdued, physically? What kind of clothing do you usually wear, what do you smell like, how's your posture? Have Echoes made you look different yet? What does your voice sound like?

Be as detailed or sparse as you like, I was going over the top. |D Pictures are welcome, just if it's big or a video please link it!

Also a reminder, we have a TV Tropes page and character list now! Edit it, suggest tropes and edits, bask in the glory, ignore it because noooo TVTropes!

Ooh, let's see. For starters, Sam looks something like a mix of the anime and manga versions (because I thought he would be more likely to look like the manga version IRL...and also because I just like the manga expressions and wanted to use some of those icons, shhhh). Here, have an image.

Sasame has always seemed a little tall to me in the anime, so I decided he's about average height for an American guy, say 5'10"-5'11". This makes him pretty tall for a Japanese guy. When he started getting a growth spurt toward the end of middle school he actually had a bit of a complex about his height because he didn't feel "Japanese enough." It was silly because there's still plenty of guys his height in Japan but you know, teenagers. He was a little relieved when he stopped growing.

No idea on his weight, but his build is thin and...bishounen/biseinen-y. He looks a little graceful and almost delicate. (IE: tall but NOT athletic at all.) His preincarnation was pretty athletic but Sam's not at all athletic himself (he actually even had asthma as a kid that he's grown out of) so he doesn't have defined muscles like...at all.

He's 20, and looks about that age. His default expression, when sitting by himself and thinking, is a small, almost dreamy little smile. When he interacts with other people he switches to a much larger smile. He's pretty energetic when interacting with others and is the sort of person that crosses into other people's personal bubbles at times to gesture or put a hand on their shoulder, that sort of thing. He's not to the point of hugging and hanging off of people, though--UNLESS he's with a girlfriend. THEN he's constantly holding onto her or looping his arm with her or snuggling closer in his seat to her, that sort of thing. Of course, he's single right now, so you'd only know this if you've known him for a while. He stands straight when he's walking, but tends to lean forward when sitting down, resting his arms either on his legs or on the table in front of him.

Clothing-wise he dresses in pretty trendy clothing. He likes to use layers and accessories to punch up his look a bit. He likes to play around with color and patterns, too--he usually stops juuust short of looking a bit flamboyant. Purple is his favorite color, so a lot of his clothing has at least some purple in it. You can see his sense of style in the image I posted above but obviously it's a little dated now--I think the clothing he wears in STE is a bit more form-fitting. I've collected some pictures to help give me some ideas of how he dresses here, although I wouldn't say he'd actually wear all of these outfits exactly as shown. I just use them for inspiration.

His hair is naturally black, but he bleaches it. His hair color is similar to this guy's. Sometimes his roots show, but he takes pride in his hair so he keeps up with it well, probably going to a salon once a month to get it trimmed and bleached. And yes, he actually goes to a salon to get his hair done. The only thing he spends more money on than his hair is music-related stuff. Also, his eyes are sort of a golden, honey-colored brown. Echoes haven't changed his appearance yet. Yet.

As for his voice! I'm a huge fan of both his Japanese and English voice actors so I tend to imagine his voice as a little bit of both (but leaning more on the side of the seiyuu--partially because while I like Chris Patton the actual script for the Pretear dub is ehhhhh...not great). In general he speaks very gently, with a warm tone, although he can sound pretty mischievous when joking around.

You can hear him in Japanese here (I vote for watching until 9:15 because you get him acting innocent while horribly teasing someone--yes I absolutely think he did that on purpose!). English version of the scene is here! (Chris Patton sounds EVEN MORE like he's teasing her which is hilarious to me. Yes, this is why I picked that scene.) Also have ~~softcore porn music~~ his image song. If you want Chris Patton singing, there's uh...there's this. You're welcome.
