4 & 5?
YAY YIPPEE HOORAY ^-^ thank you for asking!
I feel like I need to briefly introduce him since I really never post my OCs. James, English (ish), academic in his 40s, twice divorced and single for the first longer period in his life, he has no idea what to do with that XD
so:
4. If you could describe your character in one word, what would it be? (Further explanation is allowed)
anxious. he's masking a LOT but he's one huge ball of anxiety and shame underneath
5. What's your character like around new people?
most of the times? charming. incredibly polite, articulate, very kind and helpful, relatively good at small talk. appears extroverted but really isn't (see above). haven't explored him in different settings yet though so it's possible that he only acts like that in academic settings.
