It's funny that this topic comes up today. Before yesterday, I would've told you that my character is a somewhat graceful loser, who keeps his mouth shut and doesn't complain, who maturely recognizes and acknowledges a loss.
Yesterday I learned that this stoicism is a façade, and that he is, in fact, very, very childish, and deep, deep down he hates to lose. He just usually hides it really well.
I learned this because he got a fistful of smelling salts pushed back at him and up his nose. Now granted, he's no Miqo'te, but most folks would take that sort of thing badly. He took it... well... the best way I can describe it is as "an attention-seeking hissy fit of an obnoxious tantrum that had him stomping up and down through the dirt, kicking up sand and in general being so immature that I almost walked away from the keyboard in shock that the character had twisted in my hand like that." Seriously. The character narrative took over and my fingers were busy typing away the last thing I'd expected.
