Random thoughts - Come at me you guys!
So I had a realization while being silly over on plurk. What does magic smell like?
I tend to assume everything but ghosts have scents. Now I have to know out of a sense of Saturday night curiosity, what do your characters smell like?
If they have special powers like say MAGIC or something that manifests in reality somehow does it have a scent?
Come at me you guys! Information dump!

Ash, probably like a spice rack since her herbal medicines...
Warren like a turkey (Because I'm amused at that idea)

Dovahkiin here is actually quite priggish about his hygiene since he's Tamriel's equivalent of an Ancient Roman, and the Emperor himself. I've always imagined he smells like pine and parchment, since his nose is always buried in books.

ANYWAYS. That is awesome and yay for people who stay clean. She judges non-bathing people. With her nose.

Argonians are essentially swamp-dwelling dinosaur people so he certainly doesn't mind dirt and pond algae and god knows what else. Loves it in fact, look at him go in Jurassic Park right now. But there is a difference between GOOD HEALTHY DIRT AND WATER and just being legitimately filthy, and while he's not squeamish about the latter like SOME PEOPLE he does go clean up when he can.

sewer kittensin need of a bathactually I think he smells a bit like elfroot, since he'd be using it a lot, as well as some other herbs that he works with. Otherwise there's possibly a lingering smell of blood becauseof foreshadowinghe doesn't wash his coat enough :||Otherwise I don't imagine his magic has a specifically strong or lingering scent to it unless he's been using it recently and in reasonably large amounts, but I kind of like the idea of it varying a little depending on the school of magic, so it's not so much 'smells like magic' but 'smells like Creation/Primal/Spirit/Entropy magic'.
Sorin smells of blood and a hint of decay, but there's also something about him that screams danger and predator, and a sharp scent that only comes through occasionally but is a little like the feeling in the air right before a big storm hits.
