9 How do they manifest energy, exhaustion, tension, or other strong emotions?If necessary, Armaud will power through exhaustion, partly because of his own need to see things done as they ought, and partly because he’s irrationally irritated that the body has limitations. Flesh is a cage for the mind and soul, etc,. When he’s tired, it’s often obvious as Armaud will rub at his eyes and probably let loose his true feelings more nakedly, probably snap at someone if they’re doing something stupid. When he’s angry, he fantasizes about extreme violence and he curls his hands together, or at least has to ball them up into tight fists, just some sort of action to ground him. Of course, Armaud will probably not hit anyone, but it’s sort of like a security measure at this point, a habit from when he was younger.
14 What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed?Obviously, Armaud’s loyalties go to God, first and foremost, not necessarily the Catholic Church which makes his hatred of Protestants extremely hypocritical. Down a rung is France, again of which his loyalty is not necessarily the king but the nation itself. He’s a big picture sort of man and he holds no real mortal authority over his own; he wholly devotes himself to his ideals and sticks with them. That being said, Armaud sort of presides over all his people the same way a Mafia don might: possessive of all his men and belongings, loving of them in a fierce and crushing way, and absolutely without mercy should any of them betray him.
15 What kind of inner life do they have — rich and imaginative? Calculating and practical? Full of doubts and fears? Does it find any sort of outlet in their lives?He’s getting really tired and lonely so he thinks about that a lot, but he’s also pretty frustrated by all the squandered potential he sees around him and thus pushes all his internal needs aside.
39 What sort of questions or thoughts recur in their lives, either specifically or as a theme? Why are these never answered, or answered permanently to their satisfaction?How can I do things better, how can things be improved? Do the ends justify the means, what is lost through this course of action? Perfection can never be reached, always room for improvement.
41 What associations do they bring to mind? Words or phrases, images, metaphors or motifs? Why?Stream of consciousness: glasses, red, the soutane, God, church, authority, snakes, strangling (lol), pomegranates, apples. A lot of red things, apparently, and a lot of religious motifs which make sense. I think Armaud likes playing God, who woulda thought?
