What was one event that changed your PC? Not just their appearance but their perspective on the world, or the way the town works?
With Donn, I think his perspective changed a lot when the Scarred Prisoner attacked him and almost gouged his eye out. Not in a really traumatic way, not like being assaulted or killing someone else was traumatic to him, but more so, I think for the first time he became self aware that he‘s too trusting.
Atp he didn‘t realize just how blindly he trusted the Scarred Prisoner until he got mad that Donn didn’t pull away/run away sooner which basically made Donn go „Yeah actually, why didn’t I?“
It didn’t change him really to anything worse or better, I think it was just a very sobering thought of „oh, I really trusted this guy”, basically a “oh i really want this to be love dont I”. A sobering thought of realizing he is a dependent person, he isn’t some gruff “lone wolf” type like people think he is or he even wants to be sometimes, he wants to and does trust people very easily.
He’s sometimes like a child unironically with how low self awareness he has, like when his mother first hit him he never thought that’s a thing that even could happen because it’s always only been his father. So when she first hit him it was sort of a sobering oh. I guess she’s doing that now too.
Same goes with the Scarred prisoner, he didn’t think he’d seriously hurt him until he did. Kinda that’s how Donn goes through life a lot of times, he thinks people won’t do things to him he wouldn’t do to them until they do and he goes oh. Guess that’s something I gotta expect now, too.
It goes for both positive and bad things btw - Donn never explicitly told anyone he trusts them (action over words) and he never heard those words from anyone towards him. So when Brianna told him she trusts him it was like, oh. That can happen??? And he doesn’t know how to feel about that either.

Now Faust - Obviously, his wife dying. The night the ritual happened that unleashed the eldritch horrors into town, he became aware of the corrupted nature of the town itself, and lost his faith. I hc during the ritual night, the monks/nuns protecting the temple for Virgo were sacrificed while trying to stop Auriga from entering reality, and in the process they’ve all been killed. Faust was kinda like Jordan as in he was a pure angel who didn’t know wtf was going on, and his wife was a nun. They had a holy bond and were both the shields for the temple in their innocence and pure love for each other, so the night the ritual had to be stopped/the temple was attacked, they didn’t understand what was happening.
His wife and him were targeted for being the shield of purity, and she ended up as one of the sacrifices thrown into the dimensional rift (like at Remy’s party Avery takes you to).
Faust jumped after her to try and save her, but was pulled back by his temple brothers. Not before he caught a glimpse of whatever entity entered town through the portal though before it closed forever and took his wife with it.
Faust 1000% blames the temple for what happened, for stopping him from saving his wife (delusional), and for leaving him and his wife in the dark for their own gains. Basically on the same night, during one moment where Faust could rip himself free from his capturers he took one of the ritualistic daggers and send an open prayer to whichever entity would listen to take his soul in exchange for revenge on the temple before killing himself.
And whatever came out of the portal heard him.
