Height: 173 cm / 5'8". Average protag is decidedly average, height-wise, if a little on the short side in western countries. Build: Tends to put on weight in the off-season, but has taken it off by the point I took it from and actually has a pretty small, graceful frame with a lot of lean muscle on it. He's a professional athlete whose early training was in ballet, so even though he's not bulky in the least, he's got some well-trained, powerful muscles. (Also, he's got that Male Pro Figure Skater Ass. All that training for quads, man.) Voice: His voice isn't particularly high, but certainly isn't all that low, either. It gets higher when he's frazzled, which in fairness is sort of a lot. He tends to speak softly, politely, and somewhat haltingly, though he's got his moments of Shonen Protagonist Determination here and there. His Japanese doesn't have much of an accent... unless he gets Super Drunk, in which case the heavy, middle-of-goddamn-nowhere Kyuushuu accent the rest of his family speaks with crashes in out of nowhere like the goddamn Kool-Aid man. Usual hairstyle: Evenly trimmed, but slightly messy in a way that's in no way cool or intentional. (He looks a lot more put together with it swept back a bit.) Usual outfit: Outside of performances (where he miraculously develops some kind of sense of aesthetic), dresses like he doesn't know stores other than Uniqlo exist. Don't let the official art fool you. Off ice, this man is all about slightly ill-fitting sweatshirts and jeans. If Viktor is to be believed, he definitely should not be trusted to buy his own neckties. Posture: Yuuri's posture is like a constant live broadcast of exactly how much or little confidence he has at the moment. Like 90% of time, that means he's the guy standing off to the side of the room, shoulders in, not making eye contact. He can also do Aggressively Emotionally Distant body language when he's feeling extra anxious, which involves very self-consciously confident posture and some semi-accidental bitchface. He has a more confident, dominant side to him, but as it stands, he needs to either be drunk or be really in the right mindset for it, or it ends up just being performative. Body language: In real life: Reflective of his anxiety. Alternates shrinking with desperate flailing. Tends to be distant, and leery of affection, which he interprets too easily as pity. In performances: Graceful, artsy, a bit femme, can actually manage sensuality once in a blue moon. Scars, tattoos, accessories: I'd headcanon him with a few stretch marks due to repeated weight gain/loss? Other: I feel like The Skater Ass probably bears mentioning twice, but that might just be me.
