Sometimes the way people look is used to describe what they are like and who they are.
Dick hickok has a different personality to what he physically looks like. From the outside he looks thin and scrawny, but he is actually very toned and is quite athletic. Dick has lots of tattoos all over his torso, Truman describes it as a 'inky gallery'. If anyone were to look at him they would think that he didn't respect his body but to Dick all the tattoos serve a purpose. There are some in memory of his parents, his first wife and many more. However many of the tattoos juxtapose each other such as a dragon with a skull in it's jaw and holy rays of light.
Dick also has some deformities due to his motorcycle crash, his face is described as an apple which has been cut in half at put back together, unevenly. He is very much the character Richard III, deformed on the outside and the inside.
Perry has also suffered from a car crash, but his injuries were much worse than Dick's. Perry spent about a week in hospital recovering. after this disaster he was left physical and emotional scarred. Perry, like Dick has a lot of 'emotional baggage' which has sedimented in him, this makes him feel broken and misplaced where ever he goes.
