ammolite: how lucky or unlucky my use is
He’s kind of well-balanced, here, I would think. He may not have been lucky in terms of financial stability as he grew up in a middle/working class family, and he had to really work hard to obtain scholarships from very prestigious schools in order to get the education he really wanted. He had to take up several jobs to get enough money to attend the Galaxy Garrison, which he just ever so slightly fell short of obtaining a scholarship there.
Maybe he’s unlucky in terms of his mental stability as well, having BPD, depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and he has a mental disability, too, which is a moderate case of hyperactive ADHD. Maybe he’s unlucky in terms of how he fell short of becoming the top of his class in the Galaxy Garrison when Keith was still his classmate. Maybe he’s unlucky in that he doesn’t know how to cope with his own issues in a healthy manner.
But those are a few things that make him unlucky. He’s lucky to have a supportive family, despite their circumstances. He’s lucky to have amazing friends, despite how much of a dick he can be at times. He’s also very intelligent in his own right. There’s nothing in the world he wouldn’t do for his family and friends, and he does his best to look past all of the negative in his life because family and friends are the most important things to him.
calcite: my muse's social tendencies (introverted vs extroverted, parties vs one-on-one conversations, etc.)
Lance definitely leans more toward the extroverted side -- he’s boisterous, obnoxious, attention-seeking, as well as attention-grabbing (perhaps not in the most charming matter), but is also warm and inviting around people. It’s just hard to look past some of his more negative traits for some folks, honestly. But most people don’t regret it once they choose to look past his negative traits -- he’s honestly a very good host!
He enjoys being the center of attention at parties, often being the life of the party, as a matter of fact! He was very popular in his high school and would very often throw surprisingly fun parties, usually in places other than his home because his wasn’t big enough to hold a class of over 200 students in his private school.
Back at home, his phone was always attacking him with text notifications, too. Probably sends out over 200 texts a day. And that’s an underestimate. He’s drained from time alone, though, unless he’s pampering himself, so as soon as his phone stops going off (which is rare), he’s probably initiating conversations with his closest friends.
biotite: the biggest problems my muse is currently dealing with
Ridiculous amounts of insecurities -- they’re honestly countless! He doesn’t know how to deal with them in a healthy way, and often lashes out as his friends as a result. He’s almost ruined some really close friendships due to his unwillingness to find healthier ways to cope with his issues. Especially now while he’s with Team Voltron, he’s surrounded by who appear to be prodigies compared to him; while his achievements weren’t anything to scoff at, he couldn’t help but feel beneath his friends.
bloodstone: how my muse sees themselves as part of the world at large
He already views himself as expendable compared to the people he’s surrounded by. Compared to the world? Ho boy...
agate: how my muse calms down
Spa treatments. Skincare. Self-care. He loves all of those things. He’s really good at it, too.
