WRITING OBSTACLE
Tell the reader something important about a character by describing only their hands.
Plastic talons
Chiquis Doll. The ‘S’ is silent, is the best spy on earth.
Sexy, fast, agile, strong, can fit into tight spaces, can fit into tight clothing, master of disguise, master of tax fraud, master of insurance fraud, sexy, fast, androgynous, and boy, he knows how to use a pump shotgun.
It’s the outfits. The /style/ that makes him unique. He doesn’t try to blend in anywhere, no, he’s trying to stand out. Just think of it like this: when you stick some faux fish bait on a hook while fishing, would you pick the brown rubber fish or the rainbow colored fish?
Which fish would attract the eye of a sea of blind swimmers?
Chiquis is perfect bait. He is intriguing, enticing, and seductive. To anybody. Doesn’t matter gay or straight. Pan or bi. Even the asexuals find themselves slightly feeling the urge to platonically hold hands with him.
Chiquis is an enigma. Nobody knows where he came from. What his real name is. /What/ he is. “He” is commonly used to refer to him, but “they” as well. And sometimes, “she”. Chiquis never corrects anyone. He’s a secret. Nobody’s gotten as far as to feel what he’s got hiding under there.
He kisses so good that nobody can even make it to the underwear before they’re dropkicked into a porcelain headboard.
This is a prompt about describing only a character’s hands, and I purposely disobeyed that. That’s Chiquis. He does the exact opposite of what is asked, but you’re letting him. Because what he does instead is much more interesting. He is a thrill, and he will control you.
Now, to describe his hands; his nails are always long and charp. The most colorful part of his appearance. So many different patterns each and every single day. He’s never seen without them.
His plastic talons, because he doesn’t get acrylics. Or not even Gel X. He uses press-ons. And his press-on’s are not buyable in-store or online. They are unique to him. He uses them like male birds use their colorful feathers to impress female birds. Chiquis on a mission is adjacent to a mating rutual. Impressive, entertaining, and really fucking sexy. Whatever gender that twink even is.
