I came to the realization the other day, that I tend to avoid describing my characters' (in whatever context/world/story they're in) skin tone/color. The assumption then, for my partners who are writing opposite me, is that these characters are white. After a long discussion with one of my partners and even a few none role-playing friends, I realized that I stray away from this because of my own insecurities as a light-skinned poc often being told by others that I'm not enough and don't have a right to create characters that look more like them. In fighting against that, I would really like to start getting more comfortable describing my characters in all aspects - but where and how do I start? Any advice, recommendations, suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
