DE: I wouldn't do that

[bjornwilde]

 How is your character with social/peer pressure? Do they ignore it? Do they even notice it? Are they susceptible to it? Are they the ones pushing? Do they even realize they're doing it?

Selina doesn't trust enough people to really be bothered by peer pressure. At this point, Jay might be able to pull it off or she might write him off if he tried.

Rand would laugh it off, amused by anyone trying to manipulate him into anything. As Tybalt, he will become the pressure.

Hank is very vulnerable to it. If the later X-Men movies have any standing at this point, he will eventually get over this and become quite politically savvy.

Quin was/is aware of it but given how odd a jedi he was, I doubt he every really gave it much potency.

Andrea, sadly, is very vulnerable to it, at least as far as humans and the Order view shape shifters.

Jay can be a bit of a bastard but he's only pressure her into things that might protect her like a level of health paranoia and learning to throw knives.

Enjolras is really good at boundaries. He's susceptible up to a point, in that friends can persuade him into things he's generally willing to be persuaded into, but he's perfectly capable of saying no and/or just placidly ignoring pressure to do anything he doesn't want to. This goes for general societal pressure too -- he goes along with general expectations if he doesn't care, and he's not someone who's nonconformist as an artistic statement or anything (unlike some of his friends), but he's also totally happy to blithely disregard society's opinions if he does care about something.

As for being the one pushing, hmm; he's very charismatic and persuasive about something he cares about, but he also very very firmly respects individual choice, and does not want to be followed blindly by anyone ever. So I'm sure it's happened now and again, because he's human, but not as a common thing. He's not an "awww, come ON, though...!" kind of guy.

Thor: Ditto, except that he's much more okay with being followed, and with being in the public eye all the time. So he's equally good with boundaries and resisting peer pressure, but probably more likely to be the one pressuring people. (It's not that he's oblivious to that, but whether he realizes the other person isn't as good at noticing the pressure and saying no depends a LOT on the situation and personalities involved. He used to be worse at noticing when he was younger, too.)

More later, when/if I have more free time!

The Master of Ceremonies wouldn't call it peer pressure. More like tempting/coaxing/luring people into giving in to their basest desires. He knows exactly what he's doing. No pressure at all!

On the receiving end, I don't think he's very susceptible to it in general, as resistance and nonconformity are in his nature. But it depends if he'll get something out of the situation or deem it beneficial to himself.

Clem's opinion on peer pressure is that one ought to give into it as frequently as possible. Because she's Clementine. Yes, this happened in canon.

Dixie's always followed by and made her own rules, so nope.

Juliet tried very hard to fit in, but ultimately learned to follow her own drummer.

Pinkie's too much of a leader - and she always advises the CMC against giving in to it.

Eponine resisted her father's attempt at forcing her to be complicit with the robbery at the Rue Plumet, but also did his bidding before that.
