He stands 5’11 / 180 cm tall and his weight stays around 190-200 lbs / 86-90 kg, but the latter is subject to change because of his eating habits often disturbed by stress, among a couple of different factors. His body is a mass of muscles, hale and burly, and well-hydrated. The build is rectangular, with his broad shoulders almost meeting the width of his hips. Arms appear brawny and due to the fat percentage coming close to 20-25%, his muscles aren’t too visibly defined unless it’s during or right after exercise. Nonetheless, he does not have a classic six-pack. When relaxed, his stomach is soft and so is his chest with prominent pecs.
Out of personal preference, he maintains his body shaved, except for his legs and arms ( though the hair there is quite indiscernible as it is lighter in colour with some bare patches rubbed off by the fraction of clothes and the like ). He likes having stubble or a goatee; his slow facial hair growth and the spotty beard pattern don’t allow him to grow a more luscious beard.
His natural hair is straight and dirty blonde, sprinkled with sun-bleached highlights in summer. Once in a while, on a whim, he dyes it darker brown or black. He doesn’t change his haircut too much. At most, he grows it out to a mullet; he can be seen sporting the pushed-back style out of convenience ( and he thinks it makes him look more serious / mature ). When it comes to his features, they sharpen throughout the years. His eyebrows seem to be in a perpetual frown. He has a small nose bump at the top of the bridge, apparent mostly from the front. His jawline is smooth, gently accentuated. Eyes are gunmetal blue, a bit murky and fogged in their tone and joined by eye bags tinted violet and feeble tints of red. Dealing with light sensitivity, they happen to be hidden behind sunglasses, even indoors and in the evening. Despite the hardened pointed glare, his eyes speak more genuinely than his mouth does.
The only piercing he has is a simple ring in his right ear. He doesn’t have any tattoos.
Last but not least — his bottom is rounder, giving his lower back a delicately arched emphasis. Colloquially speaking, he’s a grower with his penis being a tad over 3” / 7.6 cm flaccid and reaching a length of nearly 6.5” / 16.5 cm when erect; noticeably curved upwards and 5” / 12.70 cm thick ( here’s the drawn reference ). Infertile; struggling with an erectile dysfunction.
His left shoulder, where the bullet went right through, often makes itself known as the weaker one with sudden jolts of pain, especially when he overexerts himself. While working out, he always tries to keep it in mind and shift his focus to that one in hopes of regaining full, unlimited mobility and strength.
In general, from how he keeps getting tossed and thrown around ( and then there is the whole array of gymnastics he keeps pulling for the sake of it rather than due to necessity ), his back / spine leaves much to be desired too. He takes stronger painkillers on a regular to shove this concern out of his mind, which only leads to worsening the damage constantly deepened by his lack of care and attention. Sometimes, when he struggles to roll out of bed in the morning without cursing and grunting, he remembers his physical therapy sessions that he usually neglects.
During spring 2018, he hurt his right wrist while yanking it out of the handcuffs. It seems something got dislocated, but he never went to the doctor and solely treated it with ice bags and more ibuprofen until the swelling went away. The ache is still there and the wrist appears just slightly askew and stiffer compared to the other one.
Besides the purely physical, he deals with neurological damage as well. Getting infected with las plagas hardly did him any favours. Although they have subsided over the years, he continues to experience hallucinations ( mostly auditory, visual — not so frequently ), but certain head concussions suffered over the years added their fair share of issues too, such as tension headaches and occasional ataxia. A lot of it is amplified by his psychological problems, but that’s another story.
➤ right cheek — gained from the face-off with Jack Krauser back in Spain, 2004

➤ left shoulder — shot wound from taking the bullet fired by Anette Birkin ( Raccoon City, 1998 )
➤ right pec — claws; unclear where or when from, most likely a wolf

➤ right side — done by a blade from a gnarly bar fight around 2008; below two shot wounds, each of them collected during a different job, but merely months apart
➤ left side — more claw marks, much fainter; below wider, deep cuts he cannot precisely recall
➤ right and left arms — scattered with cuts, many of them from his training days as a newbie agent
➤ left leg — on his thigh, a more shallow stab wound by courtesy of Ada Wong when he attacked her infected ( 2004 ); on his calf, bear trap marks from the same day
