The supposed characteristics of a Scorpio Ascendant, as I remember them, are a taller than average frame, strong brow-bone structure and Greek-classical nose and well defined angular lips, strong chin (which doesn't mean "large"), tendency to have more-than-average body hair (especially on the arms). Is said to like dark colors, black and white, dark red, check prints on clothes (again like Virgo attributes). Some sign-attribute writers/practitioners say that Scorpio likes to probe into secrets, mysteries, the occult, afterlife, etc. but I say that those might be ascribed to the planet Pluto but certainly they are not sign attributes as I have studied them. Again, note that I know of this stuff but do not use it, so others may be more "expert" on this then I am.
This is quite distinct from those who often mistake the planet Pluto on the Ascendant where we often find a long head, tighter-spaced eyes, the effect of a piercing gaze, longer nose, thin lips (like many Virgos) and a sense of great intensity and focus. Long, thin body although they may not be tall. High forehead, thin (not overly abundant) hair.

hmm ... The symbols for Scorpio and Virgo are alike, differing in that Virgo's tail curves in on itself and Scorpio's is decidedly phallic and turns outward. If I find Virgo's eyes staring/scanning, it is in concentration over a problem (they analyze), and Scorpio has a fixed gaze as someone said (they penetrate, supposedly). You might already know all this of course, Dave.
I'm a girl so ...
Virgo sun = exaggerated face make-up, impeccably done thick hair
Gemini sun = doesn't care for make-up, looks old, dark circles under eyes, straight hair
Pisces w Gemini asc = protruding eyes, youthful look, natural looking make-up, wavy hair, very long fingers
Scorpio sun =
men: average height, muscular body, healthy black hair
women: light make-up, diamond-shaped face (small forehead, wide chicks, narrow chin) slow roving eyes, slightly wavy hair
Cancer w Virgo asc = see Gemini sun
Pisces w Virgo asc = twinkling eyes, scanty messy hair
Taurus sun w Pisces asc = pleasant looking w/o make-up, will stubbornly wear a dress despite job descriptions, protruding eyes also
Pisces w Sagittarius asc = short, very wavy hair, small eyes, wide plowshare hands
.. my observations in a nutshell, pardon the girl-lens
