Hehe, yes it is warm where you are in Honor Bound! I’m not much of a hot-weather person so I have been enjoying describing paddling in cool rivers and such.
There will be a bunch of this for sure - I’ve been sprinkling some bits and bobs over it so far, and am looking forward to getting more into it as the game continues. It feels really fun to explore a different part of the world.
Regarding Korzha: for those interested in appearance references, I found that Sara Ramirez resonated, particularly in their Serious-Business-Looking publicity shoots for Madam Secretary; there’s a particular photo of Cecilia Suarez that I like, though Korzha isn’t as thin and is more muscular; though Jaime Camil usually looks far too cheerful and Korzha is clean-shaven, this serious photo made me think of the male version.
Hair-letting-down will take place under rather specific circumstances and there won’t be value judgements from the narrateive about how much hair is up or down (this metaphor is growing tormented). I can see certain PCs and Korzha having perfectly fulfilling friendships, romances, or collegial relationships in which their public appearances are Extremely Professional. (I’m suddenly put in mind of Holt and Kevin in Brooklyn 99, a show which I enjoyed a great deal for a while but never finished and haven’t watched in years 
) Very mild spoiler: If you’re in your 40s, they say you can call them Varenn if you want, but you can demur and call them Captain or Korzha instead.
