MARC SPECTOR
Marc1 is not a small man — 6'2" and physically imposing thanks to a lifetime of violence and vigilantism. His presentation varies wildly with his mental health and can — though not always — be a very accurate portrayal of just how well he's doing. His brown hair is kept short and combed to one side, and if he's clean-shaven or neatly groomed, he's probably doing okay, mentally speaking. If he's not, well, he might have just had a busy couple of days or he might be in the middle of a breakdown, who knows, certainly not Marc Spector.

He often looks tired, with dark circles underneath his eyes (he pointedly refuses to get a regular amount of sleep on a regular basis and clearly doesn't know the definition of 'self-care'), and he has a noticeable scar running through his left eyebrow. As a man that doesn't believe in dodging a punch or a kick or anything if he thinks it'll give him the mental or physical upper-hand in a fight, he's near-constantly bruised and carrying an assortment of injuries — frequently broken or bruised ribs, a broken nose, black eye(s), and he has a history of back and knee problems.

In the words of Taskmaster: "of all the fighting styles I've ever tried to copy, yours is easily the worst. Have you ever seen a punch you wouldn't prefer to take with your face?"

Marc tends to be difficult to get along with, abrasive and blunt with a very dry sense of humour. Surprisingly eloquent and very fond of dramatics, Marc can be charming when he wants to be, he just ... often isn't, and he carts around a slightly warped perception of reality.

In terms of clothing, Marc can often be found in the three-piece white suit of his 'Mr. Knight' identity. When he's not playing at being a vigilante, Marc drifts towards plain, practical clothing — t-shirts, cargos and turtlenecks in dark neutrals.

1 comics being comics, different artists have depicted marc & co slightly differently, but in this house, we go with GREG SMALLWOOD's portrayal (l-r: jake, marc, steven).
STEVEN GRANT
Steven Grant, aka daddy bigbucks, is a sharper dresser than Marc typically is, favouring tailored business suits and a deep, intensive love of self-care. Perpetually clean-shaven, Steven wears his hair straight and neatly combed as opposed to the natural waves-edging-into-curls of Marc. Steven - like Marc - has a Chicago accent, but he's less gruff and brusque in both tone and manner, and holds a deep-seated dislike for violence.

Where Marc views himself as a blunt tool, a literal fist, Steven is the most book-smart of the three alters and a suave, savvy investor. He's been described as "urbane and charming" by Marc despite Marc and Steven having a tempestuous relationship — Steven is everything Marc has always felt he should be to make his life a success, but Steven also owns the lifestyle Marc is least comfortable with. He's the funds of the whole Moon Knight operation, used for obtaining information accessible only by high society.
JAKE LOCKLEY
Jake Lockley is an "affable dirtbag" and "avuncular scoundrel". He — in contrast to Marc and Steven — speaks with a more New York-influenced accent and is the most overtly Jewish of the three alters, frequently incorporating Yiddish into his everyday vernacular. He has a very fucking questionable taste in clothing — flatcaps, polo shirts and bomber jackets in garish, oppositional colours. He is, of the three, the most rough and ready, though less violent than Marc, but also the most honest and down-to-earth. Jake is the closest to Marc in terms of personality, albeit without the crushing weight of guilt and self-hatred. He's humourous, deeply caring, and completely unafraid to show the care he has for other people.

He... also wears a fake moustache.
