What is a Physical Description?
A physical description is a way of describing what a certain object looks like, physically. In HL2RP, physical descriptions are one of the most important things. Because everyone can't have a different model than each other, physical descriptions come in handy. When writing a physical description, you can be as creative as you want, remember though, it still needs reasonable and fitting the HL2 time zone. You can't say that your character has an iPod in his pocket simply because they no longer exist within the city. Also remember to choose a model that's the most similar to your description as well for realism factors. You don't want put that your character has black hair and then choose the bald man model for obvious reasons. Always remember to have it neat and tidy as well, people don't want to read a messy description.
