Magnus — which of your brothers is too up-tight?
Oh, you of inquisitive mind…
My brothers are complicated and powerful individuals. They were given an almost impossible duty and responsibility. Therefore, it is only natural that some of them would be … guarded.
However, as I assume you just want petty gossip…
And because I have made a ranking and it would be a shame not to show it off…
Alpharius - His (and I use the term loosely) goals were his own. Our goals were our own, and as long as he was allowed to watch, he did not seem to care all that much.
Jaghatai- A wonderfully fluid man. Quick to action, but calm and deliberate in his judgment. Happily accepted our father’s indifference without any resentment. A true prince of a man, though he would probably laugh at me for calling him that.
Vulkan- The best of us… slightly to a fault. Over eager to be thought of as extremely welcoming and amiable. Far too much of a lap dog for my taste, but a well meaning man.
Russ- An actual lap dog and a good example of how not being uptight is not always a good thing. Hydebound and ridiculous for certain. Sloppy in where he applied the rules. Very willing to be laid back when it suited him.
Corvus- Extremely guarded, but, at least for a time, did not worry about what others were doing so long as it did not get in the way of his simple pleasures.
Ferrus- Give him his forge, and he was a happy man. Give him his forge and a certain brother, and he was even happier. That being said his,shall we say, “body issues” often lead to him being judgmental…
Konrad- Skirting the line between uptight and mentally ill. But anyone who is so rigidly enforces his form of ‘Justice’ will never fully beat the allegations…
Horus- He certainly wanted everyone to think that he was not uptight. In practice that was not particularly the case. Still compared to some of our other brothers he was practically laid back.
Angron- With him it has always been rather hard to tell. Certainly he is touchy… to put it mildly.
Sanguinius- Tried to be kind. Tried to flow like water. But always hung up on his secret sorrow.
Lorgar- I fully blame his upbringing.
Perturabo- I say this with great love. The man is fastidious. He has to be. He does precision work and he demands that standard of others. I have always found this habit somewhat charming.
Mortarion- Just a miserable prick.
Fulgrim- Let’s just say it’s no wonder that he succumbed to pleasure and excess so quickly… Of course I can’t fault him. He did amazing things pre-discovery but all of it left him as tight as a bow string and as ready to snap. No one can be perfect.
Dorn- Though I’m not entirely sure that uptight is the correct way to describe him. He certainly would not have described himself that way. His nature is to think of things in the most rigid terms, which necessitates being uptight.
Roboute- I believe I do not have to explain his ranking any further.
Lion- A bad combination of uptight and impulsive, who thought himself logical and wise. So caught up in the way he thought the world ought to be that he’s so often could not accept it as it was.
