Earnest is a man of medium height and build, always neat in his appearance (circumstances permitting), but sober in his dress.

His clean-shaven face is pleasant and regular, somewhat tanned from long days in the saddle. It shines with conviction and confidence, which makes him attractive to others, even those who may not share his beliefs. His dark eyes can be soft when they look upon innocence, but sharp when confronting evil. His smile is heart-warming.

His voice is a clear and pleasant baritone, especially when raised in sacred song. His laughter is usually restrained. When he preaches, his tone is usually calm and modulated, though it can rage against sin and degradation. His grammar and vocabulary are educated and refined.
