What is your character like face-to-face?

As we know, icons and written text don't always give a clear impression of a character.

Describe what your character is like in person. What is their body type? Do they have any distinctive markings? Do they have an accent or unique kind of voice? Any interesting type of body language? Basically, share anything that you feel other characters would notice about yours if they ran into them in the street.

Jack | Mass Effect 2

Here we have Jack, in her natural habitat of just below engineering on the Normandy SR-2, wearing one of her most common expressions. Alternatively, look at this cute, laughing Jack.
Her Pirate is similar in design described as:

She wore breeches and boots that reached her knee, accented by a dress that had likely been mostly ruffle once and had seen better days. Well the word 'dress' was only half right, as it looked like she stripped out of it down to her waist. Her modesty had been preserved, just barely by some linen used as binding and secured by a chest level holster, a great deal of tattoos exposed to the air

Her Dragoon armor is as yet unseen, but will likely riff off of the Cerberus Phantom armor as seen in Mass Effect 3.

Age: Wiki timeline puts her at 22-23 at the canon point I've taken her from.

Body: I put her at 5'10", though she often looks quite a bit shorter from sitting leaned over on her knees. She's somewhere in the mid 150's and a bit more toned than she looks when she is relaxed. Her body language is largely depenandant on her circumstances and could be described as 'ready'. In public, it tends to read aggressive - she looks ready to fight at the drop of a hat, squared shoulders and stances that occupy a larger than average level of personal space. In more relaxed settings, like her home or somewhere similarly safe- she tends to control the area by moving but otherwise appears relaxed. Alone or with someone she determines to be safe, she is almost entirely defensive - drawing in on herself and taking up as little space as possible.

Hair and Eyes: Jack's hair is thick and jet black when it grows out, but like clockwork she generally keeps her head shaved. Her eyes are a dark brown, dark enough to be mistaken for black at a distance and expressive. Whether it's sneering, smoldering, barely restraining herself from murder or looking vulnerable for once, she tends to wear everything on her face. Bonus: Hilarous/Terrifying render failure that makes her look even more sociopathic.

Voice: An example (NSFW - Swearing). Jack has a decently warm and expressive voice, that sounds like it's on the edge of overuse constantly. It's raw and mostly a 'chest' voice, but when sufficiently distressed it can reach a decently high tone. As far as the way she speaks, she's quicker to swear than most sailors you meet in the game proper. Her general speech is very informal.

Bonus: Jack is never seen singing in canon, but I headcanon she sounds like the lead singer of Halestorm. Hell is for Children cover (tw: child abuse mention).

♛ do they look different from canon now?
Not too much aside from the Pirate job's outfit.

♛ did they get a new haircut or tattoo?

Nope, though I'm not sure she has much room for more tattoos. Here's a turnaround if you want to see what she has going on.

♛ how do they dress? have they taken to Aqures Ixen fashion?

Too new to tell, unfortunately.
