Oh, jeez, I never posted in this one? THIS WILL NOT DO.
Chachanji...
... is quite bad at taking compliments! Especially said by those of the opposite gender. Even praising his skill at smithing has him oft point out that his father is still way better than him. He'll often fluster and stutter - he's not upset or anything, he just doesn't think he's all that great.
... has several tells that show his mood. If he's uncertain or wary about a person or subject matter, he'll scratch at his cheek. If he's embarrassed or apologetic, he'll rub at the back of his neck. Pure, honest confusion is usually coupled with a tilt of the head or a scratching of the floof. Contentment usually involves kicky feet and humming.
... refers to his hair as "floof," as one will pick up rather quickly in conversation with him. He takes surprisingly good care of it as well, as that nigh-uncontrollable mass of fluff would likely be an absolute nightmare should he suffer a bad hair day. The white in it is actually a dye that he started doing after an incident involving an overturned flour bag, and actually knows a few good aestheticians.
... refers to most folks as Mister and Miss, mostly as a carry-over of Doman honorifics and general politeness. He'll drop them on request, but otherwise will refer to them as such until he feels he has a suitable closeness with them. Or, on the far rarer side, feels they're not really worth that respect (an incident that has only happened once so far!)
... always has some candy or jerky on hand. You can be assured that if his outfit has pockets, one of them is dedicated to snacks. This is due to a habit of often getting wrapped up in smithing projects and missing meals! Plus, it's always nice to have a treat on hand if a friend needs it.
Gogonji...
... likes to make comparisons and allegories. The most common is his referral to most individuals he sees as beneath him (i.e. most people) as dogs. However, he has also made references to chess on a couple occasions.
... has a bit of a teacher mentality, which becomes more obvious when he's drunk. When passing along information or dealing with questions, he often displays and speaks with mannerisms one would likely find in a classroom. When sober, it's usually that one teacher you never want to get. When drunk, he becomes far more encouraging and "nice teacher"-ish.
... is very particular about his drinks, especially teas and wines, and is not afraid to voice his distaste over poorly-made beverages. And even well-made drinks can get a disdainful sniff if they are not "proper" for the setting or the food it was presented with. Such as a strong red whine served with seafood instead of a proper white.
... is - shockingly enough! - a rather emotional being despite his adherence to logic and tactics. The easiest sign to see his emotions flare are to threaten the few people he honestly cares about. However, he also readily be seen in quite honest irritation when dealing with individuals he finds exceptionally brutish or dim-witted. That said...
... is actually very bad at showing positive emotions. His laughter is usually cynically tinged, wry, or very hollow sounding and often seems like it's put there because it's "supposed" to be rather than for any actual feeling. Smiles are usually forced and a sharp eye can usually discern that strain. The smallest smiles and the softest chuckles he makes are usually the truest, and are experienced by a rare few.
