Building headmates tips: Finding personalities for them
There are 4 concepts, and each concept has 4-5 umbrella ideas :D
Checklist: sociality, habits/mannerisms, values, misc
Sociality: Are they an extrovert, introvert or ambivert? (In the conext of if they need time alone or with people to recharge)
Sociality: Are they typically hostile or friendly to people they've just met; You can break this down into being polite/rude, genuinely friendly/only as polite as they have to be to not get in trouble, open/guarded, how much/which forms of agressions will they take before doing anything, what makes them snap, how much they're willing to do for strangers, do they like small talk, ect
Sociality: Do they like being talked to; If they do, do they want to start the interaction or prefer someone starting an interaction with them? In their social circle, which rings of people* are they comfortable having deep conversations with? Do they actively seek those deep conversations? Are they too awkward to start a conversation even if they want one?
Sociality: How quick are they to rage; Are they easily annoyed or not? Do they snap easily or not? Are there certain triggers that make them snap? To what extent will they (violently or not) communicate distaste? Do they hold grudges? If so, would they 'take revenge'/fantasize about it or just not talk to that person? If they fantasize about taking revenge, how so?** and to what extent do they actually try to make things worse for that person?
*E.g: Strangers, aqquantainces, community, friends who you can walk with at work/school at breaks, friends you hang out with, close friends, closest friends, lovers
**E.g: Beating them up, ruining their reputation, lowering their self esteem
habits/mannerisms: do they have a lot of them?
habits/mannerisms: building habits; Do they think its necessary? To what extent? How easy is it for them to build and break habits? Do they build habits by accident often?
habits/mannerisms: relations; do their habits/mannerisms relate to any specific incidents, values, or if they're a -holder, things to do with that? Do any of the habits/mannerisms only happen/happen more frequently in certain situations?* Which people do they mask/unmask these behviours around? If they're neurodivergent, are any of these stims? If they're alterhuman, do any of these behaviours link to that?
habits/mannerisms: are they physical or mental?
*E.g: Emotions, time period
Values: What values do they hold?
Values: How consistent are these values; Do they apply them to everyday life? Are there situations where they would make exceptions to these values?* Do they refuse to see nuance in doing the 'right thing'?**
Values: How would they rank their values?
Values: How do their values link to relationships they have with people (if applicable); is it family first? Will they disregard or change their values for certain people or sakes?***
Values: How willing are they to stand up for what they believe in, and how much are they prepared to lose?
Values: Are they open or closed minded; do they tolerate those they dislike? are they willing to hear what the 'bad' side has to say, even if they think/know they'll end up disagreeing with it anyway? do they equate being normal to being moral?
*E.g: Not stealing from strangers or friends, but stealing from people they actively dislike
**E.g: Not believing in the concept of necessary evils, or retaliation
***E.g: Not speaking up when their family is saying something, not minding something their usually against if its to have fun with their friends?
misc: how lively are they?
misc: how stubborn are they?
misc: what hobbies do they have, what do they like?
misc: what's it like to be around them?
