The Vulcan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Here's a couple of fine "characters" (in my opinion at least). They certainly fit the criteria of "1. distinctive qualities: the set of qualities that make somebody or something distinctive" And I think my friend William and the girl look good as well!
