theprogressiveguyA 24-year-old French engineer-turned-medical student, about 5'8" and of a medium build. Brown hair (medium length, generally a little unruly), brown eyes (very bright and intelligent but also gentle), eyeglasses. While his complexion is not of such shade of luminous porcelain as a certain compatriot of his, he is on the paler side, though of the duller cast of someone who spends most of his life indoors. He is just starting to grow his eventually-permanent dark circles under his eyes.
His appearance is neat, but more out of a base level of care for things in general than out of any specific sartorial concern. Despite his icons, Combeferre showed up in regular late-1820s stylings, looking the most like his default icon in regard to both clothes and hairstyle. I'm pulling him from 1829, so the current fashion is very much this:
He isn't the most stylish, though, and doesn't pull off an hourglass figure (and knows it and isn't going to make pretensions to it). He arrived in town a bit disheveled but with all the component parts (save for his hat): coat, waistcoat, cravat, etc.. His current ensemble is mostly a mix of darker browns, which he favors. (Both out of personal inclination and because, practically speaking, it's better for hiding blood stains and the like.)
A little plain, slightly geeky, but ultimately a guy you'd feel comfortable bringing home to meet your mother.
