OC Deep Dive: Nythanel Glenn Loken-Hidalgo
What common/uncommon fear do they have?
His biggest fear would not being seen as useful or not being needed, especially as a vampire. He has such a lofty idea of what being a vampire means and that translates to an anxiety of needing to live up to that, this especially set in after how his sire and the chantry treated him. The validation of it needs to come from others.
Do they have any pet peeves?
He cannot stand self pity. It's one thing to be a bit whiney or complain but he cannot stand a genuine woe is me attitude. He looses respect for anyone that just declares themselves useless and then does nothing to try to fix it or not be useless.
What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?
A picture of him and Noa. A pocket knife engraved with roses, it's the last thing he has of his sire. A vial of mysterious liquid. Concoctions are his strength and he tries to keep one or two in arms reach.
What do they notice first in a person?
The first thing he looks for is posture. Trying to size them up by how they carry themselves.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?
Depends. Tummy ache? Smashing toe into coffee table? 10. Put a bullet in his head and put him out of his misery.
Getting stabbed? Punched in the face? Fuck you, but please sir may I have some more? I think it ties into the answer for the next question. If it's something that triggers fight or flight he can clench his teeth and suck it up but otherwise he folds like origami.
Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? (or freeze and fawn)
Fight 9 out of 10 times, for better or worse. He will look for weak points someone may have well before looking for an escape route. He initially assumes escape isn't an option. It's a mix of pride and having a philosophy of it's better to be shot in the chest trying to kick their ass than be shot in the back running away. Not that he's never ran away form a situation but it's got to be a situation before he does.
What animal represents them best?
A cat! He has the temperament of an alley cat. If he was a cat in Cats the Musical he would be a mix of Rum Tum Tugger and Mr. Mistoffelees
How would a stranger likely describe them?
Friendly but untrustworthy. Possibly due to the circumstances of how you meet him. He might come off as trying to scam you or lure you into something. Obnoxious as well.
Do they have any hobbies?
He does do botany as a hobby. He has a section of his garden or greenhouse that is just for actually growing and nurturing plants free of any mad science stuff. It's just good for the soul.
