Hyde without a Jekyll

Hyde without a Jekyll

@kcolled 3 years ago

Hey guys! So Catt and I were looking through the wikia and we realized we need just a couple pieces from all of you about your characters. If you guys could please reply with your character's Height and Weight that would be amazing!! Also if you haven't done so already, please fill out the questionnaire below for each of your characters so we are able to fill out their bios.

Thanks Everyone!

What's your character's full name?

What's your favorite quote from you're character?

What do they look like and what's their personality like?

What's their backstory before they came to the society?

Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?

Do they have any nicknames?

What do they study at the society?

Do they have any jobs?

What is their age?

Are they human? If not what are they?

Are they single, dating someone, or married?

What's their height?

What's their weight?

Anything else I should know about this character?

You could wait until we get some other responses and then go from there. (I'm thinking Alice is 5" ish but she might be shorter depending on Sozo's height.)

Originally (like in the first rp with her as she is now [she originally was an albino vampire, then an alien with dark cherry red hair]) she was 4'6 (and her boyfriend was 6'10 XD)

The Traveller • 3 years ago • edited

* There are three people in the TARDIS parked in the foyer. Only two of them qualify and only one of them is going to have enough interaction to warrant a wiki. Neither of the two are formally introduced yet so neither can have one. 10 is 6'1". You can obtain the rest of his information by looking him up, seeing as he is a canon character from another fandom. His wife Gwendolyn is 5'5 3/4" and 110 lbs. Their daughter The Traveller, I'd place to be about 4'3" and 48 lbs. Don't quote me on that. I'm used to measuring in "heads" so I don't know that this is proportionally correct. *

Um...I'm not very good with sizes but I'll see what I can do. Average female size (at least at my school) is 5' 5" (1.65 meters). The average male size (at my school) is about 5' 8" (1.77 meters). You can then decide if you want to make your characters taller or shorter and use the people around your community for a comparison.

If it comes up again, I would say just post in kilograms and metres. Most people will be able to understand those, at least I certainly can. (I'm in Britain where the two systems are used about equally often.)

If it's useful though, or if other people are talking in pounds and feet and you want to know what THEY're saying, here's how you convert them: Divide centimetres by 2.54 to get inches (and then twelve inches are one foot). Multiply kilograms by 2.2 to get pounds. Do the opposite to convert back, obviously (multiply inches by 2.54, divide pounds by 2.2).

As for the questions, Cat is trying to make a group drawing of everyone and she wants to make sure she captures our likenesses correctly. Last that I heard, Cat was attempting sketch a height chart as a reference and she desires to obtain exact heights of everyone in order for her drawings to be accurate.

Just for Victorian context:

"About 5ft6 seems to be the average for an adult man.

'the average height of an Englishmen is 5'6” and the range of heights is between 5'3” and 5'9”. An Englishmen less than 5'3” would be considered unusually short, and one taller than 5'9” would be unusually tall. You would expect to see only about one in a thousand Englishmen above or below the normal range.'"

Thanks for the weblink, that's a rather fascinating forum! (And the things that these historical-reconstruction enthusiasts MAKE - I'm always impressed.

I found another possibly useful site while doing a search to try to find out something about the value of money in the 1880s: http://victorianweb.org/

Gabby Utterpun is 5'9" with a slim/spry build. I'm much better at describing builds than weights, but maybe 136 pounds? Or whatever makes the most sense. I really am terrible at guessing anyone's weight! :(

Lewis Weir (a character I hope to intro soon and which I've discussed a bit w/Catt) is 6' even and maybe 165 lbs, give or take.

The Wikipedia article on "body mass index" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... ) has a handy graph of healthy weight relative to height; I've sometimes used that to pick out a weight based on whether the character is thin, fat or middling and their height. (Looks like you guessed that one about right.)

Bear in mind that such a graph can't take account of whether someone weighs more because they're carrying extra fat or because their skeleton itself is wider. For instance, I know that myself because I have a BMI of 16.3, which is classed as "severely underweight", but some of that's because I'm long and narrow with narrow shoulders - my dad's the same. I am thin, but not that thin. So, if you had a character that was meant to be short and squat, or with huge broad shoulders, but normal weight in terms of how much fat they had, you should look for a weight on the chart that would be a bit fat, for the average-shaped person that the chart's designed for.
