Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?

He's short even by goblin standards, not even quite three and a half feet tall, and a little stocky, but compact and muscular.

2. How old is he?

28.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?

His posture is exaggeratedly confident--shoulders back, chest out, practically swaggering. Goblins are firm believers in faking it 'til you make it.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?

He's prone to minor illnesses, which is why it helps to be buddies with a paladin, but not in bad shape otherwise.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?

He's more graceful with his arms than with his legs. He has a certain elegance to his spellcasting and element-calling, but he'll trip over his own feet sometimes.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?

By goblin standards, he's handsome enough in an overly clean-cut sort of way--most would agree he could use a few more tattoos and piercings, but he's not bad. By the standards of most other Azerothian peoples, he's a little green monster.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?

A light, cool-toned green, with some old burn scarring around the arms and chest, but not much to the face.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.

Vizzik's hair is straightish and unfashionably short for a goblin man, but growing it any longer would be a bit inconvenient for someone whose fighting style involves conjuring up miniature tornadoes.

9. What color are his eyes?

The irises are orchid-purple; the whites are a slightly jaundiced-looking yellow.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?

If his ears were any bigger, they'd practically be wings.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?

Viz doesn't like shirts. When he is obligated to wear them, he doesn't like sleeves. It's one of the last holdovers he clings to from the tropical setting he grew up in, and most Horde territories are hot enough that it's not a problem.

He'd also rather wear a kilt than pants any day of the week, and goes out of his way to make that happen.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?

Nearly all the clothing he comes across has been pre-owned and therefore has to be altered to fit his tiny green ass, but he tries to make the best even of the stuff he's swimming in. He thinks confidence is the most important accessory one can have.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?

Pretty much the same, though he'll gladly ditch the chainmail and any other bits of armor whenever it's safe to. He hates being constricted.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?

Boxer-type short-things, only because he has to make some concession to modesty when his lifestyle involves a lot of getting flung around like a rag doll while wearing a kilt.

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?

A moderate tenor, not too high-pitched, and a little gravelly.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?

Brash, abrasive, a mile a minute, and loud enough to be heard across a city block.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?

Vizzik's accent is so violently New Jersey it could make Snooki weep. And no sentence is complete without at least one iteration of "fuck."

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?

Goblins are raised to be trilingual at the very least, in order to ensure they can trade with anyone they need to. Vizzik speaks Common and Orcish with equal fluency, aforementioned goblin accent aside, as well as the native goblin dialect of Kezan, which he uses much less frequently.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?

All the time, depending on who he's talking to. Orcish is the language he ends up speaking most often on a day-to-day basis, especially since his cartel joined the Horde, but his closest friend is a human who doesn't speak anything but Common, and Viz can switch effortlessly between the two languages as necessary. He doesn't even really consider the goblin tongue to be his native language anymore--even among fellow Kezan refugees, he speaks Orcish more often than Goblin.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?

Viz can talk his way out of nearly anything, but that doesn't mean he's exactly thinking about his words. He just won't shut up, stream-of-consciousness style, until he's achieved something.


7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?

Two sisters, an older one and a younger one, who mean more to him than anyone or anything else in the world. They've gone their separate ways and spread out all across Azeroth to make their individual fortunes, but if either of them needed his help, he'd move mountains--literally, if necessary--to do it, and they'd do the same.
