1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy?
Mob carries himself in a very stiff, restricted way. His movements are mechanical, and his posture is always straight as a board. He moves at a very steady and predictable pace, with very few sudden movements. Being that he is emotionally repressed, Mob gives off the appearance of not being energetic most of the time. This leads him to come off as uninteresting and adds to his lack of presence.
A lot of his gestures are nervous ticks, like scratching the back of his neck, or squeezing his fists to help him shovel his emotions down. He tends to tilt his head when confused.
His body language becomes drastically different at 100%. With his emotions on full display, he tends to carry a larger presence. If he’s angry, then his death glare alone is enough to freeze someone in place. If he’s feeling brave, then his confidence is enough to make most foes have second thoughts about keeping up the fight. His movements also become much more erratic, and he becomes much more energetic should the emotion not be some form of sadness. 100% Courage in particular tends to be the opposite of the meek, timid, and restricted child that is normally on display.
2. How much physical space do they use, active and at rest?
When at rest, Mob usually keeps himself tucked in. He doesn’t like to take up a lot of space if possible, so unless he’s exhausted from a work out, he won’t sprawl out over any furniture. Active isn’t much different if he’s not doing anything that would get his blood pumping. He keeps his arms and legs against himself in an almost robotic manner.
However, in the middle of any form of physical activity, Mob is so uncoordinated that he tends to use much more space. If someone decides to run with him, that person would need to be mindful of his flailing arms and tendency to stumble about. His run is becoming progressively more graceful, so it’s becoming less of a problem, but he probably won’t be free from making stray movements for a while due to innately being a terrible athlete.
3. How do they position themselves in a group? Do they like to be the center of attention, or do they hang back at the edges of a crowd?
Mob usually hangs towards the back of a larger crowd, clinging around whoever he feels most comfortable with. Being the center of attention makes Mob nervous, and unless he knows everyone in the group well, he’ll likely freeze up if there’s a lot of people around him.
Large and wild parties would especially make him anxious.
4. What is their size and build? How does it influence how they use their body, if it does?
Small and scraggly. He has very little muscle or fat, although he is starting to get a tiny bit bulkier now that he’s been working out more (The difference is so small even he hasn’t noticed it yet). His tiny frame makes him more prone to slip through crowds without being noticed, as well as slightly more hesitant to assert himself among peers. If he succeeds in putting on muscle in the future, he’ll be slightly more confident with himself, albeit still a timid person.
5. How do they dress? What styles, colors, accessories, and other possessions do they favor? Why?
Mob isn’t too conscious on how he dresses. He mostly looks for what’s comfortable, like hoodies, jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, etc. If he wants to look a bit less casual, he’ll usually settle for a button-up shirt to go with his jeans. He does like colorful outfits though, and rarely will wear black outside of his school uniform.
However, he tends to get attached to certain tops if he has good memories from when he was wearing them. So sometimes, he’ll refuse to throw out old t-shirts or hoodies until they’re literally too small for him to fit in.
