1:Â Whatâ€™s your OCâ€™s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them? Her biggest insecurity is loneliness, and if pointed out she would clam up quick, try and find a hole to hide in.
2:Â If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?
Now? She would keep it for self defense.
3:Â Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?
Yes. Those she's interested inÂ for a relationship she's far more flirty whereas with others she tends to be just another friend, a good drinking buddy. For those she barely knows she may be very "plastic" just giving surface stuff so she doesn't expose herself to hurt.
4:Â Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?
She wouldn't mind...she feels she has a lot to give to society as she has not a ton of links to it based on her majority of her life being at sea.
5:Â How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
She would be angry....put off and likely to storm off.
6:Â Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?
She thinks she's far more clever than she really is. She is in fact rather naÃ¯ve about the world.
7:Â Does your OC have any irrational phobias?
Not that she knows of. She's most fearful of being rejected.
8:Â How is/was your OCâ€™s relationship with their parents?
She lost them at age 5, so she doesn't really remember them.
9:Â Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?
She doesn't try too hard as she just wants a normal life.

11:Â How would your OC react to hearing theyâ€™re adopted?
She technically was so she wouldn't freak out.
12:Â What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?
Someone she can cling to and close her eyes to each night.
13:Â What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?
Situations where she will be left out of an activity, group, etc. She does not cope well with solitude or being forced to see how lonely she actually is.

She would try to make up first....afterÂ along bout of pouting.
15:Â Does your OC consider themselves a good person?
She does at times. Others, she struggles with her vices.
16:Â Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?
She tries but she is a bit selfish and may try to shift the focus to her. Only in her role as a therapist would she be completely mindful of the other person.

Aside from her loneliness and shyness, no.
18:Â What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)
She knows she is trying hard to be a good person, a kind friendly soul, she just hopes others see that as well.
19:Â What boosts your OCâ€™s confidence the most?
When someone shows her affection, allows her to be herself.
20:Â Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?
She has before. Her promiscuity has hurt people before.

On rare occasion. She will intentionally distance herself, not talking, not opening up.
22:Â How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?
With someone she's comfortable with and attracted to she will flirt and emote incredible sexuality.
23:Â Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?
Yes. Her sexuality and her more private side.
24:Â How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?
She'd blush, go quiet and slink away.
25:Â How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?
She tries to compress it quickly, to shut it down because she's lost so much she has a hard time dealing with it.
26:Â What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?
LOL....not to be a broken record....loneliness.

She would steal it back after finding a way to make the bully feel some pain, not likely physical pain.

Here goes mine. Smile

Show Content

Spoiler 1:Â Whatâ€™s your OCâ€™s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?
A: Her magical talent/capacity and people who question her goals pointing out her condition. Being highly sensitive to aether to the point it harms (and could possibly kill) her, she puts extra effort in to prove to others that despite this, she can still be an overachieving mage and scholar. If someone points out her goals are stupid or that she shouldn'tÂ practiceÂ magic because it's too risky, she gets extremely defensive andÂ offended.

2:Â If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?
A: Self-defense. If she wants to kill someone off, she's more likely to hire someone else to do it.

3:Â Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?
A: Sasha is a manipulator, so she acts different around different people for her convenience. If she wants to be perceived as non-threatening to someone, she'll put on the act of the damsel-in-distress, if she wants to intimidate them, she'll act more confident and even aggressive, if she sees someone finds her attractive, she will be quick to use her wiles to get her way. She acts completely innocent to some, while to others, she is seen as little more than a harlot.

4:Â Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why
not?
A: She would not. Unless it helped someone she cared about or those she deems as vulnerable, she is unlikely to be charitable.Â

5:Â How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
A: Depends on her mood, but more likely than not, she'll be cold and sarcastic. However, should she be around friends, she will pout and ask for their defense, only to make the other person look even worse.Â

6:Â Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?
A: Â She thinks she's stupid, but she also thinks most other people she meets are more stupid than she is. She may come off as arrogant, but she constantly tries to overestimate her enemies so she isn't caught off-guard. There are times she has scoffed and waved off people she deemed as intellectually inferior, only to have them out-smart her.
Â
7:Â Does your OC have any irrational phobias?
A: Bugs, insects, repties--Unless they are dead, she won't feel calm around them.

8:Â How is/was your OCâ€™s relationship with their parents?
A: Difficult. Her parents were very demanding of her, especially her mother, who tried to mold her after herself. Her father, while kind, was absolutely whipped by her mother and would pretty much agree with all her standards, even raise them. She loved both her parents, but due to events in her past, she strongly distrusted them to the day they died. While her mother was technically closer to her, she held more affection for her father.

9:Â Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?
A: She's highly ambitious, especially when it comes to research and magical proficiency. Her condition only made her more stubborn towards her goals.

10:Â Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?
A: She guards her emotions by being fake and cold, but not necessarily tough. She will smile while dying on the inside, but she is unlikely to portray herself as a hero or a leader.

11:Â How would your OC react to hearing theyâ€™re adopted?
A: She'd be happy to know she's not related to her mother, but will probably not believe it since her condition runs down her father's line and she looks almost exactly like her mother used to when she was young.

12:Â What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?
A: Security. Both emotionally andÂ physically. She has severe trust issues to the point she is somewhat convinced her spouse wants her dead. This isn't true, but she always expects the worst from people.Â

13:Â What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?
A: Confrontation and any situation that would require her to juggle masks when being with multiple individuals she wears a different mask around.

14:Â If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?
A: Her best friend, or the person she considers her best friend, is someone she has hurt multiple times unintentionally. She's an inherently selfish character, but she would do almost anything to save the relationship with this person, except, perhaps, give up her dreams. She might give up on her goals temporarily and then try to do them behind his back, but that's unlikely to work.

15:Â Does your OC consider themselves a good person?
A: No. She's a bit cynical. Good hearts are a rarity in the world she sees, and while she holds deep appreciation for these individuals, she does not consider herself one.Â

16:Â Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?
A: Absolutely. Unless she doesn't like the person, she can fake empathy like a champ, even though she can't always see from their perspective.Â

17:Â Does your OC suffer of any mental health issues?
A: I'd say anxiety, but I really think it boils down to PTSD, which usually manifests itself in her distrustful nature and paranoia.

18:Â What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)
A: As long as she is achieving something academically or magically, she feels validated.Â
Â
19:Â What boosts your OCâ€™s confidence the most?
A: Flattery, so long as it isn't obviously false. She loves compliments, especially on her academic work andÂ appearance.Â

20:Â Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?
A: Yes, especially those close to her. She can be brutally honest and insensitive at times, even selfish and inconsiderate. She doesn't do this consciously, however, and she genuinely regrets it when she realizes she hurt someone she cares about.

21:Â Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?
A: Not often, she's unlikely to bite unless she was bitten first. She does do a lot of questionable things for the sake ofÂ research, however.

22:Â How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?
A: She is rather open about her affection--Unless she doesn't trust the person. Otherwise, it would be fake affection, a means to manipulate others. She's more likely to be cold towards those she doesn't quite trust but she cares about (And has no interest in manipulating them.)

23:Â Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?
A: She's very deceitful, so she lies about a lot of things. Her biggest fear isÂ probablyÂ someone being able toÂ pick apart her masks.

24:Â How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?
A: She's likely to blush deeply and get flustered and tongue-tied. If it's maliciousÂ humiliation, however, she will slitherÂ away and plotÂ vengeance.

25:Â How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?
A: She shuts herself away from people. Despite being an extrovert, when she loses someone, she prefers to grieve alone.Â

26:Â What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?
A: Her condition and the expectations of those she surrounds herself with.

27:Â Does your OC practice any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?
A: Escapism? The only thing that truly gets her thoughts away from her problems is quite simple: Sex. And magic. And books. But mostly sex.

28:Â How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?
A: Pay the other kids to beat him up. Or flirt with the bully, get her money back, and then fuck him over somehow.

29:Â How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?
A: Depends on the conflict, she may face it herself, or hide behind others to do it for her. She's also the type of character who runs away from her problems before finally dealing with them. If they become too big/important, she will put on her big-girl pants and get her hands dirty.

30:Â What makes your OC defensive quickest?
A: Criticizing her magical use or research because of her condition. Anyone who points out the fact she is weak/sick/reckless is likely to be met with distaste. Pointing out her lies in a tight situation might make her snap as well.

30:Â What makes your OC defensive quickest?

What are your answers?

1:Â That his paranoia has gotten the better of him and that he's truly gone insane. Â However, pointing that out to him might make you a target of his paranoia.
2:Â The kind of thing you have to get rid of it afterwards for...
3:Â Around his tribesmen, he's brotherly and caring. Â Around his non-tribal associates, he's cold but loyal. Â Around everyone else, he's suspicious and brutal.
4:Â Maybe, if he needed a public image boost, though most of the "charity" he does is just to make him more loved by the poor and clannish than the law is. Â It's all self-serving.
5:Â He'd kill them. Â And their friends, if he could. Â Most likely their families, if he could do that. Â He has to, people NEED to fear him.
6:Â Yes, unfortunately Orleans is both highly intelligent and constantly paranoid about what he isn't seeing.
7:Â I wouldn't say the fear of catching a knife in the back is irrational, though it might be in irrational places.
8:Â Orleans loved them. Â However, when he left home, he never saw them again. Â The tribe is his family now, and he'll die to protect them.
9:Â Every day breathing in Orleans' world is an achievement. Â Anything else is a bonus.
10:Â It's hard, sometimes, to know if Orleans even has emotions. Â Part of it is being guarded, part of it is being a bit of a sociopath.
11:Â In a way, he was. Â At the time, he was high onÂ psychedelics. Â He felt good.
12:Â Security. Â Then again, he doesn't believe it really exists, so...
13:Â Vulnerability. Â You do something, you plan it out and you do it right.
14:Â His best friends are tribesmen. Â He smooths those out himself. Â That's part of his tribal duty.
15:Â Yes, in a bizarre way. Â Essentially, he doesn't believe in good people that actually do good things without people like him making it possible.
16:Â Unfortunately for society, yes. Â Orleans can make some very messed-up people feel very well-understood and respected.
17:Â Does splattering the wall with someone's innocent best friend in order to draw them out count as sociopathy?
18:Â Orleans completely, totally, and honestly believes that, to take care of people, only the nastiest people in the world can actually provide for their own. Â Say what you want about the murder described above, Orleans takes care of his tribe, his employees, and many of the downtrodden. Â He sees himself as a provider and a protector, in addition to a businessman.
19:Â When everything goes according to plan.
20:Â Probably, though he tries to keep this to a minimum (bad blood is part of the plan, and anything that isn't planned for is a liability).
21:Â He doesn't carry an axe for possible fire escape situations... hurting people is how you generate fear, take goods, and manage your business. Â Whether physically or emotionally, one needs to employ the right weapons.
22:Â Orleans shows some tribal brotherly respect and love, but he's a very stoic person. Â He's spent enough time using other people's loved ones against them to know better.
23:Â Yes... basically everything. Â To new people, he's just a businessman.
24:Â Generally, the person can look forward to being visited by death or misfortune, and quite possibly the group if they join in. Â If not right then and there, then certainly later.
25:Â After killing whomever is responsible, he would probably simply move on. Â His loved ones die all the time; the other Dancers are always looking for trouble and many pay the price.
26:Â The possibility that, one slip, and he could be dead, imprisoned, or on the run. Â Paranoia is a way of life.
27:Â Escapism is a good way to slip. Â Even playing the Gold Saucer games, he's constantly aware of what he's doing. Â He's making money the fun way, but he's not pretending he's someone or anywhere else.
28: Killed the guy on a street corner after school, at night, where there are no witnesses.
29:Â He tries to be diplomatic with his people, and he tends to be destructive to anyone else.
30:Â Try to tell him he's a bad person.

RE: Character questions: Psychology edition - Sylentmana - 09-08-2015

1: Whatâ€™s your OCâ€™s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?
She has an inferiority complex in regards to her sister. If confronted, she would likely try to laugh it off, but would then begin to withdraw from the person who confronted her.
2: If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?
She bought one to try it our, but found it's power grossly underwhelming compared to what she could do with magic.
3: Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?
For the most part she is the same with everyone, though when around her older sister, she becomes more self-conscious and awkward, as well as a bit more snarky.
4: Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?
She frequently does, using her magic to heal those for free who otherwise couldn't afford medical treatment.
5: How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
She would laugh it off and try to turn it around against the abusive person, but depending on what was said, would probably cry once she was alone.
6: Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?
She is actually more intelligent than she gives herself credit for.
7: Does your OC have any irrational phobias?
She has a sever phobia of insect larvae, especially grubs.
8: How is/was your OCâ€™s relationship with their parents?
For the most part its fine, but she largely feels she is unable to live up her family name.
9: Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?
She would never admit it to others, but she has always felt like she was competing with her older sister in academic achievements.
10: Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?
Not so much with toughness. She uses humor to guard her emotions and rarely reveals what her true feelings are.
11: How would your OC react to hearing theyâ€™re adopted?
She is adopted and she has known all her life.
12: What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?
Romance. She has never been in love and she sometimes resents the fact. She may be unconsciously defeating herself in this area, though.
13: What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?
She tries to avoid conflict which can't be solved with a well-placed spell. Even more than that, she tries desperately to avoid making her sister angry.
14: If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?
She doesn't really have any best friends, though if she did she would probably try to make up with them. She would be really clumsy at it.
15: Does your OC consider themselves a good person?
She doesn't believe she is a bad person, but that doesn't really answer the question, does it?
16: Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?
I have no idea.
17: Does your OC suffer of any mental health issues?
Probably. She has an inferiority complex in regards to her sister and doesn't feel she has much value overall.
18: What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)
Its something she struggles with. She feels useful to others when she is healing, but she never intended to grow up being a healer.
19: What boosts your OCâ€™s confidence the most?
Breaking new ground in her studies.
20: Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?
She can sometimes make others angry with her facetious nature. Otherwise, not that she is aware of.
21: Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?
If combat counts, then yes. Otherwise, no.
22: How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?
When she wants to show affection for someone, she usually does something nice for them for no reason, like bake a treat or buy them a gift. She's not openly romantic and has never experienced romantic feelings.
23: Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?
She is actually a very guarded person. She hides behind a veneer politeness and humor, rarely letting anyone know her true feelings.
24: How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?
She would laugh about it in public and maybe cry when alone.
25: How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?
It would be very difficult for her. Her veneer would likely crack and she would struggle to hide her feelings. She would be deeply depressed, but only build up her walls even more which would only make it more obvious.
26: What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?
Nothing beyond what has already been stated.
27: Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?
She likes to read and write dirty poetry. She hides it and would be very embarrassed if anyone found out.
28: How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?
She would let them have it, but would find a way to sneak an ultra-powerful laxative into the bully's food or play some other, rather harmful joke on them.
29: How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?
With a facetious attitude hoping the conflict will end soon.
30: What makes your OC defensive quickest?
Bringing up her relationship with her sister.

Glacir Clayworth1:Â Whatâ€™s your OCâ€™s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?
Glacir always worries he doesn't know enough when entering new situation. If pointed out he worries too much or relies too much on knowledge instead of instinct, he'll often freeze up for a moment before easing up.

[b]2:Â If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?[/b]
Most likely he'd disassemble it to figure out it's inner workings, attempt to repair it, and fail miserably at that step. (this is actually how I intend to explain IC my OOC use of Machinist if it ever comes up)

[b]3:Â Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?[/b]
For the most part Glacir acts the same around everyone: Quiet, studious, serious, but willing to listen and share his thoughts. However, among those he grows closest to he will open up more and can become a bit of a goof.

[b]4:Â Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?[/b]
Glacir views his research as humanitarian work, in that he refuses to hide or hoard the knowledge he has, and will gladly share it with any interested party. As for actual charity work or donating to causes, he would do so only if it was of interest to his current research goals. Not that he is cold or uncaring, but more that he focuses and prioritizes.

[b]5:Â How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
[/b]Ignore them and leave their presence. If that option is unavailable or they persist, a well-placed spell would hopefully deter further harassment.

[b]6:Â Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?[/b]
Indeed he does, though at times he does overestimate his ability to put said intelligence into practical use. I.E. He knows quite a bit about Conjury, but has a hard time casting higher level spells in that school of magic.

[b]7:Â Does your OC have any irrational phobias?[/b]
Wearing heavy armor. Seeing it does nothing, but wearing heavy plate or chain armor has him feel claustrophobic almost instantly.

[b]8:Â How is/was your OCâ€™s relationship with their parents?[/b]
Early on, he and his parents got along great. It wasn't until the Calamity and the fact his parents and the trading ship they were a part of decided to avoid Eorzea completely that he began to grow distant from them, wanting nothing more than to research and offer aid to the broken and altered region.

[b]9:Â Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?[/b]
It's less 'pressure' and more 'desire'. He acknowledges his shortcomings, but always strives to research ways to eliminate or improve upon them.

[b]10:Â Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?[/b]
Glacir hides his emotions with logical thought and reasoning. He buries himself in research rather than outright face tougher emotions, but he will open up if approached about them.

[b]11:Â How would your OC react to hearing theyâ€™re adopted?[/b]
Glacir wouldn't react violently or anything. He'd be shocked and confused, but after some time would accept it and move on.

[b]12:Â What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?[/b]
A use for his knowledge.

[b]13:Â What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?[/b]
Ones where he has no information or knowledge of how things should be or will proceed.

[b]14:Â If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?[/b]
Once again, logic dictates the result. If Glacir can see his errors, he will approach his friend first, otherwise he will wait.

[b]15:Â Does your OC consider themselves a good person?[/b]
Yes he does, but he will acknowledge mistakes he's made that might make him seem otherwise.

[b]16:Â Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?[/b]
Yes he is, he will listen to any and all concerns or feelings, weigh them against past experiences and knowledge, and offer his advice or opinions in return, but never in a manner that forces others to do as he suggests.

[b]17:Â Does your OC suffer of any mental health issues?[/b]
Aside from becoming over-focused on research and knowledge, none that would be apparent to most.

[b]18:Â What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)[/b]
Again, his knowledge and research that he sees as a gift to be shared with any and everyone who asks. He's also rather proud of his practical skills in Arcanism and Astrology.

[b]19:Â What boosts your OCâ€™s confidence the most?[/b]
Validation, when his research succeeds, or when he find a new topic to research.

[b]20:Â Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?[/b]
Often? Not really. But when he does it's usually when he's too focused on research and lets a blunt observation slip.

[b]21:Â Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?[/b]
Not often, only when provoked.

[b]22:Â How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?[/b]
Glacir tends to hide all his emotions, so he is rather reserved until such time as his romantic/affectionate side is drawn to the surface by his partner's own actions.

[b]23:Â Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?[/b]
Again, mostly his emotions. He will open up gradually, but usually he comes off as the silent, studious type who only speaks when addressed or he has something important to say.

[b]24:Â How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?[/b]
Depending on the degree, he would either snap back at the person or simply leave the area for a time.

[b]25:Â How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?[/b]
Glacir would go through the usual grieving process and ceremonies, followed by weeks or months of avoiding others, devoting himself to his work with often little results.

[b]26:Â What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?[/b]
Discovering a way to continue studies that require soul crystals or other access to ancient knowledge to proceed.

[b]27:Â Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?[/b]
Coming from a family of traders and sailors he often escapes into various drinks when things are going particularly south.

[b]28:Â How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?[/b]
Let's see...by high school age he'd have learned some spells so a swift Ruin to the 'nads.

[b]29:Â How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?[/b]
Glacir would most likely try to flee or avoid the conflict, but if forced into it, he'd stand ready while formulating plans to emerge victorious.

[b]30:Â What makes your OC defensive quickest?
[/b]Someone questioning or insulting his intelligence.

This is interesting and fun. I'll do Otgiva later when I have a bit more time.

RE: Character questions: Psychology edition - niflh - 10-06-2015

OCs still a WIP so maybe this'll change!

1:Â Whatâ€™s your OCâ€™s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?
A general lack of empathy/sincere emotion. 'Fakeness' or being accused of hiding behind a fact persona; being 'empty'. Very emotionally reclusive/repressed.

He would deny, ignore, avoid, threaten or slander them. That is, if convincing them otherwise wouldn't work. His solution for the 'problem' would likely be the path of least resistance - whatever tactic he felt was most efficient.

2:Â If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?
Hunting or killing. Likely monsters, but potentially people if required of him.

3:Â Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?
Yes. Though the reaction is often more dependant on the scenario than the person as an individual. By default he is cold and stand offish; asocial. When with others or if approached he will fake a naive, easy going/out going persona. Feigns ignorance often.

When fighting he takes a front of appearing excited or blood thirsty.

He is more open to his 'master'; listening to them without hesitation. He will react kindly or sarcastically (in a humorous sense) to this person. He is also painfully honest to them (unlike others, where he doesn't think twice about lying). He is, however, prone to withholding the truth if not questioned.

4:Â Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?
Most likely not. Would do so if there was a hidden benefit to him or at the whim of his master. He is an individualist otherwise; self centered and under the belief his gain comes before others.

5:Â How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?
Ignore, shrug it off, or laugh. Maybe reply sarcastically or with a witty insult. Unless it involves his 'biggest insecurity' he rarely takes personal slights personally - especially given his shown personality is often a facade.

6:Â Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?
Not often. He suffers to some extent from narcissistic thinking: even when he thinks he's being completely objective, he's sometimes not.

7:Â Does your OC have any irrational phobias?
He hates bugs, no matter how small. He considers them unpredictable and so small they're impossible to control, which deeply bothers him. He would sooner fight an army than go any where near a spider.

8:Â How is/was your OCâ€™s relationship with their parents?
Lacking/near nonexistent. Still working out details.

9:Â Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?
In a sense, yes. If it's within his control and something of value to himself or his master he will accept nothing less than his best - and there is always better. If it is out of his control or not of value he couldn't care less.

10:Â Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?
He guards his emotions by being distant, detached and hiding behind fake personalities. He is very emotionally repressed, to the extent of often feeling nothing at all - likely a self defense mechanism.

11:Â How would your OC react to hearing theyâ€™re adopted?
This has never been a secret to him - he sees no difference, placing no significant value on 'family' ties as it is.

12:Â What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?
Purpose. He relies on his master to give him purpose and is lost and destructive without it. He is not self sufficient in this sense, relying on another to feel accomplished.

13:Â What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?
Emotional situations, particularly where someone wants him as a shoulder to cry on. He is irritated by this and considers it very draining to awkwardly navigate his way through them.

14:Â If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?
it would be unlike him to have someone he truly considers his best friend, though he would stubbornly wait for them to make up. Likely he'd refuse to believe he was ever in the wrong - any apologies would be little more than lip service.

15:Â Does your OC consider themselves a good person?
Yes and no. He would consider all of his actions to be justified, but he has no strong moral inclinations and considers 'good' and 'bad' a matter of personal perspective. A perspective he doesn't really possess.

16:Â Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?
If he gets something out of it, he can be particularly cunning or charismatic. He is very manipulative. However, he avoids real connections or emotional situations like the plague.

17:Â Does your OC suffer of any mental health issues?
Debatable, but leaning strongly on actions and thoughts that may represent traits of Anti Social or Narcissistic personality disorders.

18:Â What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)
Logical thinking, physical appearance and strong will power are important to him. He will sometimes pride himself on his lack of emotional or peer related values, thinking secretly it makes others weak or disgusting.

19:Â What boosts your OCâ€™s confidence the most?
Praise from his master, physical or appearance based praise.

20:Â Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?
Yes. He is often unthinkingly inconsiderate to the feelings of others, and will say or do things that will not hurt him - thinking they wouldn't be hurt, either. Because he has no personal reference, finding out what hurts others can be a game of experience.

21:Â Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?
Yes. Usually subtly or with the knowledge he will get away with it. More likely emotionally over physically - though he's not against 'underhanded' methods if it benefits him. He likes to be in a position of power and will use this as a tactic to maintain or gain that. He does, however, believe 'you catch more flies with honey than vinegar'.

22:Â How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions? He is very physical, though generally lacks true affection has his own form of it. Any shower of praise or compliments verbally is likely a ruse.

23:Â Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?
Everything. His meeting people persona is entirely an act to seem more likeable or harmless than he really is.

24:Â How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people? Possibly ignore, laugh it off. Though if it was something he truly felt insecure over, he'd likely see to it that person paid - eventually. It would not be his main objective, but it is likely he'd take the opportunity if he saw them in a bad place.

25:Â How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?
He has processed his prior grief by closing himself off, as he has now - though it may not have been intentionally. He otherwise suffered anger and frustration from the emptiness it left, not able to make real connections with others to 'fill' it.

26:Â What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with? The death of the one he cared for at a very young age.

27:Â Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind? Fighting is his escapism. Otherwise he likes to sleep.

28:Â How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?
Fight them, disregarding his own safety.

29:Â How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?
With his fists/sword, when applicable. He is unlikely to stick his nose into someone else's business.

30:Â What makes your OC defensive quickest?
Toss up between his greatest insecurity and mentioning his lost companion.
