Chatty but abrasive, her pragmatism in the face of a challenge is about the only thing that redeems her. Otherwise she is petty, low-brow or crass, uses a lot of curse-words, and has a limited view of the world which she freely states even when it would not usually be politic to do so. She makes particularly bad choices if she's in a game with access to a social media network. (This I've played out to great effect in the past by having her accidentally enrage an entire contingent of aliens when she called out how monstrous and horrible they all looked. She got a lot of flack that caused her negative consequences for months; it was great!)

Insufferably stuffy and self-important, with the kind of firepower to back him and his patronizing attitude up. Laedo believes that non-magic-users (aka humans) are babbu's who by turns need to be protected, coddled, and gently reminded of their inferior place. He has absolute conviction in his religious tenets--or he did before his story-arc began playing out. Now he's a little better, but he still comes across as officious and sometimes smothering. He plays best against characters who either challenge his authority (he really, really has none in truth) or who actually like to be coddled... though I have found that I chafe against that second interaction because I enjoy seeing him put in his place.

Does not communicate, ever. He's a big teddy bear when he gets to know someone, but even then he doesn't often communicate his worries. He does communicate boundaries, thankfully, but the moment he feels they're overstepped, he either removes himself from the equation or removes the threat. Sometimes this means he acts without checking in with others, and sometimes it means that he (in character, of course) ghosts from a conversation or situation if he feels it actively works against him. He's hard to play against most characters because of this, unfortunately. I'd like to get him to the point where he learns the value of communicating even a little bit.

~She new!!~ I'm not settled on this fire elemental but she skirts the line towards some stereotypical hot-headed stuff that I'd like to make more complex. I think she might be curious and competitive to the point of fault, testing herself on others--testing others, for that matter--to constantly get better. If she runs up against someone who's an easy challenge, she probably doesn't think much of them. Conversely I'd really like to bounce her off of other supernaturals who are stronger, more magically adept, etc. who she might be able to learn from... but I need to build up her character profile first.

If you ask Hec how he's doing, he will tell you...for a good fifteen to twenty minutes. If there's alcohol involved? Hours...until he passes out from too many. Good luck trying to lose him.

Does whatever he's told by his superiors. Doesn't really have much of a direction or conscience of his own, due to coming from literally nothing and growing up in a mercenary company that was sent to war.

She's stubborn, has a short fuse, and tends to run with that. It makes conflict resolution and forgiveness (on her end) a chore.

He's a sarcastic, antisocial recluse in general. Trying to get between this guy and his books is like trying to get between a wolf and its fresh kill.

Nym is well-read and well-groomed, but she doesn't think ahead to plan B, C, D, etc. She usually just runs with plan A and hopes for the best.

Erise is a psychopath whose first instinct upon meeting someone is to emasculate them so she has the upper hand. Nobody likes her, really. lol

Lysi has suffered a trauma in her early adolescence at the hands of her former master, which makes her slow to warm up to people, and slower to engage in romantic relationships. People who don't know find her very aloof and stand-offish. She doesn't speak her mind, and has a tendency to bottle up her feelings.

Lythinia likes to collect the bones of mer and beast alike, and her lab is a hoarder's trove of them. She is also enthralled by death and the decomposition process, which makes most other people wrinkle their nose in disgust. Like her boyfriend (Ilienaren, named above), she's socially awkward and doesn't like to be pulled from her work.

Aside from being a huge dork at all times? He's slow to understand his own feelings, and pretty bad at expressing them. He misses social cues frequently, and sometimes even when he catches them, he second-guesses himself into misbelieving his own perceptions. He's also a bit arrogant about his intellectual prowess, and can be very conflict-avoidant.

Hugely competitive, Lily likes to be In Control. She's also legitimately got a misperception that manipulating people into liking you and thinking you're awesome is how you make friends. She's not a sociopath, she legitimately likes people and is very friendly, but she's got a basic misunderstanding of how to friend.

Dislikes ruminating and discussion to the point that she'll just go do a thing, which means she's a bad planner and an even worse collaborator. She tends to cut and run from difficult emotional situations, which include most long-term romances. She also likes to poke bears -- annoying prickly people brings her glee.

(She's new! This might be subject to change!) She's got a chip on her shoulder the size of Russia. She's defensive about her looks, her career, her gender -- not totally unwarranted in her setting, which does not see a lot of female engineers, but she kind of takes it to extremes. She can be very confrontational, too. She thrives on argument and doesn't understand that some people don't.

This lunatic right here. Loves. Explosions. A little too much. Give her a stick of dynamite, and that will be the worst mistake you will ever make. Also, she's a drunkard. Who owns a bar. What fun. Oh, and she's shameless. She will hit on you, your mom and dad, your grandma if she's hot, and your current lover... While naked. She is someone who gives no craps about anyone, and tends to fight with authorities a lot. And she's a multidimensional agent. Which means she also fights with her superiors. She's also not that bright most of the time, but that's according to human standards.

Well, she's childish. Which means of course the good things about being child-like, but it also means the bad things: fussy, stubborn, whiny, cranky when upset, and throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way at all. She's also cold-hearted and extremely jealous when you touch her things (read: her two fiances) the wrong way. Typical yandere insanity that's outright encouraged by her two lovers. She's manipulative and sneaky; she knows she's cute and is mistaken for a kid rather than an adult woman, so she uses this to her advantage. (Remember: she may be cute, but she's also a typical potion witch.) Worst is at the very bottom of her heart, she's never really grown up. Take that as you will. Oh, and she's a neat freak.

Stubborn, cold, and precise. Has a reputation of being that one guy in accounting that expects you to get everything right down to the letter: one typo and he'll send it back and tell you to do it over. Very particular (read: much too choosy) about how most things should be done in an office space. Ironically, he's also a bit of a slob in his own personal area and hates to clean, only doing so every so often. (He cleans more out of having opportunities to cook more rather than social or cleanliness obligations.) Tends to forget you have to be a friendly sort of social in a professional setting. Is an undercover freak and shameless pervert who keeps his heart shut to his "friends with benefits." Clingy to those he cares about, yet is overly competitive when it comes to his two male fiances (who can please their shared female fiancee first, who can give the biggest gift to each other on holidays, etc.)

She's dumb. Like so dumb and slow to learn that she might quite possibly be mentally handicapped. Only time will tell through proper education.

She's a pushover. She won't stand up for herself or go after things she wants, such as pursuing a real relationship.

She's still a bit new. The best thing for her to do would be to find ways to kill herself to stop the demon but she absolutely refuses to die. Meaning she rather have hundreds of people die instead of her xD

Like with most demons it would be arrogance. She's one of the top dogs of Hell and has power over everyone lower than her. She "knows" no one can beat her. No one has put her in her place yet so that only inflates yet ego.

She's also still new. Haven't had the chance to use her yet. Because of her dark powers and the one that ressurects the dead she doesn't socialize much and enjoys causing chaos with what she can do.

She can't do much since she's bound to a crystal ball but she helps everyone who has hold of her. If someone tries to use her for bad she won't stop them. She gives them whatever they want.

She wasn't born into slavery but spent almost all of her life in it. Therefore she has no will of her own. When she has a master she asks permission for everything. If she's lucky enough to have freedom she will still ask certain things, like is is alright for her to feel this way or that about a subject.

She's straight up angry, careless, hateful. She was hurt so much in the worst ways possible by people that said they loved her that now she hates every man and aims to make everyone she meets suffer. She earned the title Ice Queen.
