*points up* That quote got me to pondering on some random Monday Fun!

How tall is [your character]?

How tall do think [insert whoever else] is?

For instance.. I have a mental image of Alexis being quite tall, however, it has just been implied that he is "short".

... Naturally, now I am really curious how tall *is* Lexy?

You 'forgot' to kick things off with your own height ...

Michiko - Always envisioned her to be about 5'6. not very tall but no runt either.

Aiko - About 5'4 - though the human model limits it she isn't supposed to be very tall, she's a nymph afterall

Xune is 16 1/2 hands.

I don't normally put exact numbers on the characters...usually I size them in comparison to the rest of their race.

Arcanen is supposed to be about 5'9" or so, which is fitting of sun elves, but it means he towers over most other elves on Ysgard.

Varian is about average height for a human, maybe 5'8"-5'10"

Lalant is short for an nanshi elf- that would make him 4'9" or so, I guess. Hmm....he must look pretty silly using a longbow if he's that short.

Seamus is a strapping Norse lad, so he's somewhere in the 6'3" to 6'4" range. He was a bit on the gawky/lanky side when he first came to Hala. As he trained, he became much more muscular and bulky. Since he began serious sword training (and then later Psion training), his build has taken on a more balanced look, more like an endurance athlete than a weight lifter.

Always pictured Corwin as 6'1".

Kyle 5'11"

Dorak 4'6"

NWN 2 has slider bars to adjust height and girth of human PCs.

Kria is fairly tall... 5'8" according to a Hades Wiki entry I made.

I'll have to see if Rudiki posts for Lexy before I comment on Aria. And guess I did start this....

Peter on the other hand is 6'4" or 6'5" and is built like a construction worker or someone who does a lot of manual labor and lifting.

But yes, Aria does come to Lexy's nose. Look at our game icons. She does and that's how tall she is.

I've always thought Manny would be about normal Human height....for modern humans that 5'8" to 5'10".... if we talk medieval humans, then about 5'5"...

Cassie i see as being a tall model type, i would put her at about 5'9" to 5' 11"ish

umm... frin is like three foot flat? kinda stocky, original was basicaly she had the build (and personality) of a walking powderkeg, not this evil 'cute' thing people been calling her

Coran thouh variable by nature stys in a base form of about 5'8" her body very athletic looking, usually very well toned and sleek

Tanaris is about 5'10" not super muscular but well defined.

Though most the time suki can lift bout 400-800pounds easy shes acctually sorta petite, Her mother was an elf, father a nymph so shes a tiny bit taller them most elves but shorter then humans and pure nymphs

I've always said Uni was about 4'6" but she is taller than Dorak (She's always kissing him on the top of the head, which makes him embarrassed, but he likes it no matter what he says!

) Guess I might have to make her a little taller if Dorak is 4'6"....maybe 4'11" or so...always pictured Dorak as a little shorter.... Also, it's occurred to me that the others aren't really 2 feet taller than she is, so I guess 4'11" it is.

Fun question!

And LOL Xune! 16 1/2 hands is a pretty big horse! Which shoulder were you measuring to?

I don't recall the exact wording, but in the description you see if you look for it of Lexy in game it says he is "short even for an Elf", and that he typically wears footwear that subtly enhances his stature, and that he stands as tall as he can, posture-wise.

I did not actually have an exact height in mind for him, but the book sez Elves are from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet tall, so I suppose if he were at the low end of that he'd be unusually short for a male Elf, though of course the afore-mentioned would add a couple inches or so; maybe more, depending on choice of footwear.

His body is naturally small, slim, and frail, but very beautiful, and he has worked hard to become as fit as possible, so that he is a masterpiece in miniature, with a build like a dancer or a gymnast.

Since in this game you can't make the little representations of your character look exactly like your character, including adjusting the height, I don't judge height by how tall the character looks in game. It's funny, though; I do tend to see certain characters as being tall or short even so, if they're RPd that way.

Gildan is average height, so about 5'9". Maybe an inch shorter now, as you tend to lose height in old age?

darkfire · Post by **darkfire** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 4:25 pm

Dameon is about 6 foot.

He is built decently, especially for the normal "mage". Weighs around 180-185lbs. However, when put up against the strong melee classes that are 6'4"+ and probably minimum of 220 lbs of muscle, he pales in comparison.

He's no construction worker or roofer.

...and Bianca's not quite finished growing yet.. so.. I would say she is probably just over 6' for now.

Dannar is just tall enough to make fun of anyone worrying about how tall a video game character is.

Rudiki · Post by **Rudiki** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 6:54 am

P0M so doesn't want to know what else I know about each of my characters...

Rudiki · Post by **Rudiki** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 7:32 pm

And wafting in from the ether to alight here:

"Xai, Whopping 6'8 (Tall for humans, taller for aasimar, I've never been told no, so he's a big guy.) 250 pounds of muscle."

"Ryk 6'1, Tall for humans, excessively tall for Drow, Again, I was never told no! Skinny though, pretty much a negative image of me, (I weigh a svelte 170, with 2% body fat.)"

"Soul (Solys) Same as Ryk, though not frail. More muscular, and while not "ripped" healthy looking. Probably looks like a stereotypical rockier/hippie."

"Hawk. Standard elf. 5'6ish or so. Hops around too much for anyone to get a read on him."

can't remember ... did I tell anyone in game how tall Ro is?

Starslayer_D · Post by **Starslayer_D** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 6:55 pm

I allways pictured Myra as a tall woman, like a zulu

So probably over 1.80 m

Dengar · Post by **Dengar** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 8:46 pm

Amash of Black Bard 6'5"

Dimwick Dappapalo not sure, I guess average hieght of a halfling

Akai · Post by **Akai** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:23 pm

Egil - slightly over average height even among big Norse warrior types, perhaps 6'1"; with the heaviness of middle age, he'd run to fat if he didn't exercise all the time.

Soleis - average height for an elf (unusually tall for a male drow) with the slenderness of youth.
