Kieran: [climbing out the window] No.

Pros & Cons of Dating: Kyung-jae “Kieran” Tabris

Cons:

Talks big game and flirts like a fiend but doesn’t know shit about relationships/commitment. Thinks of himself as a one-night-stand kind of guy, and he’ll make that clear, but convincing this commitment-phobe to try out  a relationship is really hard. Might come around eventually but at first will not understand the value of a committed relationship. 

On that note, his flirting is a hard habit to break even once in a relationship. It’s become so habitual that oftentimes he won’t know that what he said was flirting and be frustrated. “What? Why are you mad??”

Will never understand why you’re mad. (Unless you tell him)

Will often be mad about not understanding why you mad. (And about other things. He’s a hothead)

Again, doesn’t know shit about proper boyfriend etiquette. You will often have to teach him  that “this is what people in a relationship do” while he gives you frustrated “???” looks

Very easily jealous if he ever does commit. He can be pretty immature about things, jump to conclusions, and will mad dog competition hard. He’s less inclined to be mad at you for flirting though as he mostly sees outside people as the threat. Kieran’s not the type to check your messages (mail in Thedas, texts in Modern AU) but if he suspects something he will become really passive aggressive and then will become very private about his own (even though he has nothing to hide). He’s relatively easy to calm down and takes explanations well- but it’s still annoying how often you’ll have to explain to/calm him. 

He can be pretty carelessly mean. Not to you or his friends (unless it’s established in the friendship that mean teasing is ok) but to just people in general. He has a surly disposition. 

Doesn’t know how to compliment. Thinks what he’s saying is a compliment but it’s still kinda…eh (see gif above). 

Really attached to his best friends. Would be really hard to date him if you didn’t get along with them because 95% of the time he’ll choose them over you. He won’t let them say anything bad about you but will get prickly if you mention anything negative about them (even if it’s true).

Will argue with you a lot and is stubborn about his view points. His voice naturally gets pretty loud so if that gives you anxiety then best stay away. He’s intimidating even though he’d never actually raise a hand against you ever. 

There’s more but this list is getting too long. But in summary: Do not date. 4/10, would not recommend. 

Pros:

Fiercely loyal. Gets big mad if someone tries to flirt with him (if he recognizes it as flirting) if they know he already has you (and he makes it very obvious he has you so the person should definitely know).

He’s…pretty. And he keeps really fit. A lot of lean muscle from lifting and working out (and swinging around a giant sword). His cardio isn’t great but he’s working on it.

He’d fight a bear for you. Or a crocodile or a thug or a serial killer, salmon, rabid raccoon- It doesn’t really matter what it is but if it’s threatening you he’s already fighting it (bare handed if he has to). Nothing is allowed to harm you without getting past him first. (Also in Modern AU he’s second degree black belt Taekwondo so would still fight bears/salmon/creepy guys at a bar for you). 

He’s funny without trying to be, usually not even in a mean way. He’s often doing dumb-ass things because he’s so full of unfocused energy and a lot of the time it makes him really fun to be around. You’ll never be bored at least. 

He sketched a picture of you and him together and keeps it framed on his desk in his room. Doesn’t try to hide it when his friends come over and tease him. Also, in Modern AU, bought a copy of ‘How to Be a Good Boyfriend for Dummies’ and that’s also on his desk.

“I’m not sure if this is a Pro or Con so you decide”:

He’s one of those guys that unnecessarily takes his shirt off for things (bar fights, chopping wood, push ups, etc). I mean his abs are nice to look at but was that really necessary??? 

“I was gonna surprise you with Popsicles but I couldn’t remember which flavor you said you liked so I just bought all of ‘em” 

Very “it’s us against them” about everything and will argue in your defense even if you’re wrong. Even if he’s just been arguing against you about the exact same topic a few minutes ago, now that someone else is involved he’s on your team again. 

Your relationship could be an unhealthy mess and he’ll still insist to outsiders that you guys are the perfect couple.

--------

Kyung-jae “Kieran” Tabris:

Look at that spiteful bitch.  Well, at least he’s still, just barely, on the lighter side of the spectrum.

Highest 2:

Spitefulness: “A tendency to engage in behavior that would harm others but would also entail harm to oneself.”

This is absolutely Kieran. He does not mind taking a few hits if it means landing a few more on those he thinks deserves them. The Reaver specialty suits him well. 

Psychopathy: “Deficits in affect and self-control (i.e. callousness and impulsivity), as well as a lack of remorse, antisocial behavior, and volatility.”

He doesn’t have much impulse control at all and is prone to bouts of violence and he very rarely regret it. A little less so in Modern AU where he’s on medication for it, in Thedas his volatile temper does get rather scary and uncontrolalble at times. 

Lowest:

Narcissism: “An all-consuming drive towards ego-reinforcement and an egotistical interest in, or admiration of, one’s self.”

This one was surprising at first because Kieran tends to be quite vain and conceited. But then reading more into the psychological definition I get it. Kieran isn’t self-centered, he’s clique-centered. He can’t be selfish because he places such desperately high value on the well-being of the select few he has chosen to be around him. He doesn’t mind being a meat shield for these people at the cost of his own life and aesthetic (luckily he recovers from injuries well and his scars fade quickly). This also explains why his self-interest level is quite low. (Unrelated, his Machiavellianism is low because my boy aint smart enough to manipulate people.)

Kieran Tabris Headcanon

So today I realized something about my OC Kieran Tabris. Based on this evidence:

His first crush was Shianni (my Tabris was adopted, so they’re not related)

His only long-term, lasting relationship with canon/OC characters so far is with @dickeybbqpit‘s Darrian Tabris (also not blood related, same reasons)

He is physically/sexually attracted to @keeperscompanionsdai Theron Mahariel and @heraldofwho‘s Das (Lavellan) Davarris.

He’s struggling to figure out his feelings for @biserker-kadan ‘s Myrinah Lavellan

He’s hooked up with/had a brief "friends-with-benefits” thing with @space-vashoth ‘s Meraan Adaar.

Conclusion: Kyung-jae “Kieran” Tabris has a thing for red-heads 

(also, though he’s pansexual, he seems to have a preference for men, likely because he finds them easier to talk to. Also it looks like he has a preference for other elves [though he could still potentially be attracted to Qunari or Dwarves])
