This d100 was provided by Reddit user u/Navezof. Thank you for your incredible work!
The goal of this list is to provide a quick prompt that is both detailed enough to easily spark the GM’s imagination and also vague enough to leave them enough room for improvisation. Part of this prompt is what I call the Face, or ‘What the other are noticing when encountering this NPC’. It is not limited to visual, as it includes a peculiar look, a specific way of dressing, but also how they speak or move, and what do they “feel like” overall. This appearance should be striking enough so that this character will be remembered with it alone.

|---|---|
| 1 | They are horribly burnt all over their body and face, by fire or acid. It can be hard to look at them. |
| 2 | They have on their face and body the stigmata of terrible fights, broken features, scars from chin to brow, a missing nose or ear. |
| 3 | They are missing a limb, finger, arm, leg. And the cut is not pretty. |
| 4 | They lost one of their senses, blind, deaf or mute. |
| 5 | They have the mark of a terrible disease on their body, maybe it is still affecting them, or it is over. But in any case, it left marks on them. |
| 6 | They have shoulders as wide as they are tall and arms as big as a tree trunk. Even their neck is oversized. It's a miracle their outfit is not breaking under the pressure. |

| 79 | They seem always in a hurry, scuffling nervously around, dropping things there and there, they don't seem able to stay still for more than a few seconds. |
| 80 | Calling them social would be a wide understatement. They can tell with a glance who would like to talk, what about, and exactly how long. Like a butterfly, they are flying from conversation to conversation without respite. |
| 81 | A constant rattle follows them. Belts, pouches, and bags at the ready. They are geared for any and all things reaching to a new place most moments. Knives, for all manner of things, journals for multiple subjects, pocket watches, pocket calendars, pocket compasses. |
| 82 | They are never alone, a pet of some sort is always there slithering or feathering about. Wherever their master goes, they follow, even when they should not. |

| 84 | They are living in a fable, at least in their own mind, they rhyme and enunciate rather than they talk, and act like the world was the stage and the people their audience. |
| 85 | Everyone of their movement is the epitome of grace, they float above the ground rather than walking and each of their movements is a delight to see. |

| 93 | They have a constant fire burning in their eyes, guided by their impulsivity, they are ready to fly off the handle at the moment notice and their body language is not shy of showing it. |
| 94 | They can be described as cheerfully sociopathic. In their opinion overkill and ultra-violence are perfectly justifiable tool, but apart from that, they are the sweetest person around |
| 95 | Even if they are dressed modestly, it is not really enough to hide their shapely silhouette, especially since they often end up flirting and charming without realizing it. |
| 96 | They look like they gave up on life, they are lifeless, not caring about anything and it shows in their tone, their clothing and their lifestyle. Be it drink or drunk, anything that can make them not care. |
| 97 | They have the air of a beast, either their facial structure is reminiscent of a rat, a horse, or other animal. Or some of their mannerism as something animal-like. |
| 98 | They are not born with their face, it was reconstructed or modified. Hard to say if it's an enhancement or a way to hide something. |
| 99 | They are repulsive, but it's hard to pinpoint why. They are not that ugly, and if their body smells is not that excessive, but for whatever reason, it’s hard to stand their presence. |
| 100 | They are emotionally stunted. They never express anything except a stoic facade that never fades, they are unable to express pain, and it makes them unwillingly cold and distant to others. |
