I actually look a lot like Scrab does. Just under 6', 198lbs, brown hair, and I'm white...close enough to a brown haired half elf for me! Though EQ never did have chin straps just goatees.

Interesting article. I've found that people try to make a character that looks really similar to them, or as far from their real life image as possible. Makes sense. I am such a barb irl.

I'm a white man, he is a partial name stealer. I bet his name IRL is Charles or something. Damn internet stalkers.
