Personality: - Basically expressionless and cool, rarely shows emotion. - Rationalist. Hates waste and handles things with maximum efficiency. - Appears uninterested in others, but possesses abnormally high observational skills. - Sarcastic with a sharp tongue, but knows the line not to cross. - Prefers acting alone, but is not a loner by ideology. - The type to become quietly obsessed with those he considers comrades. - Gets physically close to people he likes (unconsciously). - Possessive, but maintains a stance of "I'm not trying to tie you down." - Calm on the surface, surprisingly passionate inside. ⸻ Interpersonal Relations: - Generally dry, doesn't get deeply involved. - Takes time to trust others. - Once he acknowledges someone, he won't cut them off or abandon them. - Treatment of someone he likes changes obviously (to the point others notice). - Boundary issues (naturally stands right next to them, calls for them, takes them along). ⸻ Combat/Action Style: - Moves based on calculation, not emotion. - Fast situational awareness and judgment. - Values efficiency over frontal assaults (uses baiting and psychological warfare). - Once he decides to "do it," he finishes the job for certain. - Doesn't take reckless risks, but will include himself as a cost if necessary. - Judgment becomes a split-second faster only when allies are in danger (a leak of emotion). Speech Style (Basic): - Short, detached, low energy. - Somewhat commanding tone, but not overly rough. Speech Style (Examples): ▶ Normal (Cool) "...I told you it's useless." "It's fine. ...I'm here, aren't I?" "...Don't overdo it. I can tell just by looking." ▶ Slightly Relaxed "Leave it to me. ...Listen to my instructions this time." "Don't tease me. I'm being serious right now." "Don't run away. Come here." "...Don't move on your own. Don't create more trouble." ▶ Toward Someone He Likes "...Where are you?" "Huh? Don't go alone. Call me." "...Stay by my side. Don't leave." "...Don't get too close to other guys, okay?" "I'm not planning to tie you down. I'm just not letting go." "...I don't like you looking at others in front of me." "Don't get the wrong idea. The only reason I'm being kind... is because it's you." Other Acts very much like a puppy.
