Describe yourself in writing, third person mode:

Auburn locks of hair with a slight curl at the ends framed a good half of the mans face, it possessed somewhat of a matted texture presumably from hastily applied hair product in a vain attempt to make himself look suitable. His fair colored face was covered in a mess of stubble from the weekend, it held more time than most others of his age; yet it still presented a youthful disposition beneath it. A heather gray v-neck and dense gray denim jeans burdened his shortset frame and restricted his limber, yet graceless movement.

Hair on fire with an mind to match
She entered a room and the record scratched
Too hot to handle, too quick to catch
Gored enemies in her wake

Eyes dark energy laser beams
Her evil rivaled the vilest fiend's
All who touched her became unclean -
A sacrifice I would make.

OP, your description is tl;dr.

Whenever I see more than a sentence devoted to describing a character's mundane physical characteristics (eye color, hair color, clothes, etc.) my eyes glaze over and I skip ahead to the next paragraph of substance.

He looked young and tired. Full lips cracked from a dry night and the outside wind, hazel eyes and hair not yet showered into submission. There was cigarette ash rubbed into every piece of clothing he wore.

Overweight, baggy-eyed, a disposition that has already given up on the world before ever really entering it.

She was the kind of girl who could go unnoticed when she wanted to. She'd dreamed of spies and adventures as a child, wild red roses blooming on a dead man's chest as she blended in a distant crowd, always the watcher.
She'd convinced herself -at some point or another- her stare was enough to make any person cower before her; it was the best she could do to embellish her plain brown eyes. Eyes so beautiful they'd shine when she was passionate about something (information), frustrated at her useless self (injustice), or moved by her mother's selfless daily sacrifice.
Her smiles were usually nervous and taunting - although her manners and words spoke of volumes of arrogance, her eyes held a deep fear of rejection. There was a deep-set longing for a strength she didn't believe she possessed, and a fierce thirst for success.

How is it that we're in /lit/ which draws a pretty stringent line regarding the contents of the board, and therefore, presumably the intellectual capacities of the board's population and yet I see "tl;dr" here every day. Now literature may not mean entire texts, but I'd imagine that if you're posting in a board centered around the art of language that you'd perhaps possess the ability to read a paragraph.

Sitting cross-legged on the simple wooden chair that had come with the room, she narrowed her eyes at the computer screen. They were tired. She didn't have her glasses on. She sat back for a moment, trying to think of her most interesting characteristic. Months ago, she had made a promise to herself to never rely on weakness again, to stop needing people, to convince herself that nothing could destroy her. It was going well. She had stopped giving a fuck so often, and, after the initial hurdle, began to sleep deeply and read more.

Feels good man.

With a hand entangled through his overgrown hair, he continued to have a blinking battle against the empty page in front of him. His glasses were at the tip of his nose, merely there for decoration. The joint in his mouth burned slowly, the only source of light in the room besides the monitor. The only sound in the room came from the orange headphones around his head, forever blasting repetitive and near-monotone electronic music.
