💭 What do your OCs think of themselves? Has it changed over time?
Avery thinks he's a bit neurotic, and is ashamed of his nastier kinks... But overall really believes he's doing his best. He's very good at his job and holds pride in the fact that he helps people every day, and even if only one person leaves his ambulance feeling calmer for him being there, he's happy.
He was a lot less confident when he was younger, and a lot more fucked up about the nasty stuff he's into before the delusions came in to smooth things over :)
Juniper thinks they're pretty great!! But they also don't think very much!! Smooth brain hours!!
Patchouli has a mostly positive view of themselves, mostly built through logic; they do their best to be a good person and help where they can, and in their mind that's enough, even if they're not perfect. They're prone to some existential dread now and then, where they question everything they think they know, but usually they're pretty level-headed.
This is very different from the angsty, morose teenager they used to be...
s!DD has no illusions that she's not a villain, or that the things she does are of pure intentions... But she also doesn't care anymore. There's a certain feeling of being above morality, or at least unbound by it; a ghost in the machine, the thing that goes bump in the night.
They used to think of themselves as a freedom fighter and a tool for justice, as well as general hot shit and the life of the party, and they weren't wrong!
Atlas doesn't really think of himself at all. The man has absolutely zero ego, and if you asked him to list his strengths he'd just give his concrete skills, like the gunsmithing and guitar. He does wonder sometimes if he's creepy, or disrespectful, or if the things he's into make him a pervert... And really, none of this has changed in many years.
