Yeah, so I'm guilty of the below usually, but I'm working on it :).

So, you tended to describe how everyone looked. I know that's usually how we do it in a roleplay, but it kinda became tiring to read appearances (though you guys did a great job on the descriptions! Really enhanced how different each one looked) over and over again. Typically a person doesn't really note each and every detail about someone else at their first meet, and that would require looking someone up and down (especially to see someone's physique), which would be considered rude and I think very un-Bixbite-like!

It isn't really that important to the context of a story for how someone looks, so unless it becomes relevant to the story, maybe don't include it, or at least, not that much of it?

Physical appearance descriptions are something a writer doesn't want to get too focused on, and irrelevant descriptions in general!
