This is a tricky question. Or not. People are all different. So are Buddhas.

Or are they ?

Buddha-nature is Buddha-nature.


According to Gautama Siddartha (the most famous Buddha), we all have Buddha-nature

and will eventually become Enlightened (in the Buddhistic sense of the word).

Enlightenment is a state of non-suffering brought about by the ending of desire.

There are different Buddhas because everyone becomes one sooner or later.


Ie, from time to time, another person becomes Enlightened, and sometimes that

person is known about because they are recorded in history (such as Gautama

Siddartha).


It is important to note that Buddhists consider that EVERYONE will become Enlightened

sooner or later. So, according to theory, you will become a different Buddha yourself,

either in this lifetime or a future one.

What did Buddha look like?

Like a man from the population of North India in 500 BCE. There were no images of the Buddha made during his lifetime, as he asked that he not be immortalized in that way. The descriptions of the Buddha in the texts of the day are all stock lists of qualities anyone in his day was supposed to have if they were to be Enlightened Ones and so are completely unreliable. We do not know any details of what the Buddha looked like.
