Flaws, Fears, and Failures: Dal’s Guide to Imperfect Characters

Gato (Jack)
Name one personality trait your character has that is taken to extremes [and therefore a flaw]:
He's...sunny. Happy-go-lucky, cheerful 24/7, or at least will put on a smile to hide how he really feels. A personality trait I need to get him back on track with, really. So good thing I did this to remind myself of that!

Name one fear your character has and how he responds to it:
Better yet, I'll give two. One is his "anger management". He tries hard to keep his temper in check, as well as keep a smile on his face at all times for the sake of keeping others at ease; but lately he's been cracking.

Second would be dying. He tries hard not to (though in Galin's opinion, not hard enough ). He IS Milletian; but rather than death being a painfully unpleasant thing, his concern is focused more toward how people in Erinn would react if they found out - mainly Tuathans. Why is he worried about this when other Milletians about him die regularly? You'll have to find out through RP.

Name one failure in your character’s past:
He uh...died. Third wife killed him and then commited suicide. Kinda tragic story. Wanna know more? Get him to tell the tale somehow.

How did he respond to it?
Spent two generations under different identities before taking up the "profession" of nobleman again. During which time, he simply protected others in other ways rather than working to become a knight again.

How does he respond to failures now?
The rage issues are still something he keeps to his regular habits about checking - and successfully so for the most part; but there will always be a few words that would easily make him fall off the wagon. Tries harder not to get himself killed - at least not in a way where he can't make excuses of, "It was just a flesh wound." or "I've had worse." or "Chicken soup."

Silver
Name one personality trait your character has that is taken to extremes [and therefore a flaw]:
He has a submissive servant attitude to him. This doesn't really suit him well, seeing as he's heir to the Rie fortune should something happen to Jack. Also a little too dependent on others' eyes when outside of his element.

Name one fear your character has and how he responds to it:
"The Dragon-Man", which was the name he gave Fenrir the night his tribe was butchered. He still has nightmares about it.

Name one failure in your character’s past:
...he wet the bed until he was 8.

How did he respond to it?
Stopped drinking so much water before bed. In his defense, he lived in the desert - he got thirsty and waking up dehydrated sucks. D:<

How does he respond to failures now?
He finds simple and relatively comfortable or familiar solutions to overcome his failures.

Name one personality trait your character has that is taken to extremes [and therefore a flaw]:
She gets enjoyment out of the drama of people's lives, so much that she may cause some herself and play innocent. Aura's also an oppurtunist to a fault. This can often backfire, unless she's able to talk her way out of the trouble it brings.

Name one fear your character has and how he or she responds to it:
Aura fears being alone again. Because of this, she has attached herself to various people throughout her life, who may not have been so good to her. Whenever that twinge of fear settles in, now, she's very clingy to Xeek and reminds him of why she's so awesome, and that he never wants to live in a world without her. This reaffirms her security. xD

Name one failure in your character’s past:
Just one? xD Angron.. Angron was a total Aura-Fail. Not listening when people warned her, and believing that she could change him in to what she wanted him to be.

How did he or she respond to it?
After years of, what she considers mental abuse(and a few accounts of physical abuse), Aura left Angron in search of something better. She found better in Xeek and Fenrir, but saw no future with Fenrir where they could live 'happily ever after.'

How does he or she respond to failures now?
Aura doesn't settle for failures now. She only wins. =3

Name one personality trait your character has that is taken to extremes [and therefore a flaw]: Her biggest flaw would be her Maturity issues. Sometimes she is seen as childish like she really is 10, and other times she acts as though she is 20. This also plays into her attitude that people like or dislike.

Name one fear your character has and how he or she responds to it: Glacia's fears come and go depending on her mental age at the time. Overall, her biggest fear is all humanity hating her, and therefore truely being alone. This happened once where she thought it...and she just runs from it and goes emo.

Name one failure in your character’s past: Her biggest failure was when she started playing with alchemy, and blew her mentor at the time off a cliff.

How did he or she respond to it? Luckily the Mentor was a Milletian, so he didn't die. She hated herself and wanted to give up alchemy for a bit. Her mentor told her not to though.

How does he or she respond to failures now?.
Now, she usually overlooks them, or uses them to improve.
