Rollo: Oh man, where to start? He's not quite as much of a mess as Anakin Skywalker but...He is a hedonist. He will try anything that makes him feel funny. His player also put too many points into his ambition rating. His anger gets the better of him as well. I am ignoring a certain scene from the first season, the one with the slave girl, but he needs to see all women as worthy of respect rather than just those of certain ranks.
Ahsoka: Her impulsiveness has gotten her into trouble but I really think it is her mouth that gets her into more trouble. She says what she thinks and to Sith with the consequences.
Asajj needs some grief counseling STAT.
Quinlan needs to be less impulsive, though it is effective often enough, he keeps doing it.
Hank is too insecure with himself and needs to accept whom he is.
Sam is perfect and has no flaws. Okay, he does risk losing himself when someone is in need.
Izana needs to speak up for themselves more. This could be a cultural thing since most others tend towards subtly in asking for things in canon, but Izana pushes it to a flaw.
Selina is too self-focused and puts her own survival above all others. It has been what has allowed her to survive but it is what will lead her to a lonely life if she doesn't learn to temper it.
Luidaeg might have a cruel or callus streak when it comes to children of Titania. Just a little one.
And now I'm picturing Shephard just clamping a hand over Ahsoka's mouth. "DON'T YOU MIND HER NONE she's just a li'l bit spacelagged from the trip. Jesus fucking Forcefuck kid, keep it down, okay? You folks got a caf machine? Reckon we could all use a pick-me-up."
Ibani might feel a *little* bad about helping Quinlan keeping his impulsiveness, but not enough to NOT bail him out of trouble if there is a next time. >.>
Curtis has trust issues out the wazoo. SHOCKING, I KNOW.
He's also kind of emotionally stunted, though he can usually make up for it by being a smart, adaptable tactician. A very large chunk of him remains stuck at age seventeen, when all his energy did an abrupt flip from "normal teenage stuff" to "learning how to survive in horrifying post-apocalyptic conditions." Things you generally learn in your late teenage years and beyond, about how to relate to people/handle your own shit in a healthy, adult way? He just...didn't. Which is part of why he's so overwhelmed with whatever-the-hell's going on with Dejah right now.
I would also, from the completely unbiased position of someone who has seen Curtis's canon a few times, like to venture that he can be a little intense from time to time. Not that he doesn't have a completely justified reason for it, but yeah.
Lies. He is completely serene and levelheaded in all things and would never, say, try to punch his way through a foot-thick steel door when it doesn't open right away. >.>
stuck at age seventeen, when all his energy did an abrupt flip from "normal teenage stuff" to "learning how to survive in horrifying post-apocalyptic conditions."
In theory, Izana is going to discover this feeling since they are a)16 and b)about to have the cultural genocidal-monster-under-the-bed pop out and say hi.
I've been having a terrible urge lately to find a way for Ellen to use that chaplain training she's had- in her situation it's more counseling and philosophy than anything religious. I don't know if that'd be of any use to any of your pups, but...
I will keep it in mind. Izana in fact, does have some trauma coming and even freaks out (in the I'm going to die way) when they become a full pilot; so two chances. = ]
Dejah has a laundry list. She gets hyperfocused on her work. She sometimes needs people to remind her to eat and to sleep. She's convinced she can save the world universe. While she doesn't have a hair trigger, she is passionate about her beliefs and will fight for them. She does nothing by halves.
She is, as Curtis described her, "a little intense".
She also cannot cook to save her life. If she offers you anything more complex than tea, made by her own hand, take it at your own risk.
X divides the world into combatants and non-combatants. If you end up and/or put yourself in the combatants category she will judge you and your capabilities so harshly. She trusts too much and too easily, and it took her so long to figure out how to stop being friend with people (and that sometimes it's okay), she tends to be pretty absolutist in her thinking/reacting to that, too. And did I mention the super-judgey? *wry*
Diana takes on too much, so much that sometimes she ends up neglecting responsibilities and making questionable judgment calls. Then she notices and works to fix it, but the underlying problem still remains.
Nynaeve has a temper, and has very little patience for people who can't take care of themselves, and very little bedside manner. She's also kind of absolutist in her thinking, though she's getting better about it these days. She's also a bit combative. A bit. *cough*
Dean cannot and does not plan for the future, he is severely codependent on his brother Sam and resents and fights back against Sam's attempts to become less codependent, he has deep self-loathing and goes out of his way to sabotage friendships and relationships because people are better off without him. Except Sam. Except this includes Sam, too. Contradictions!!
Galadan is a sociopathic/psychopathic genocidal genius who is minorly reformed and pledged his incredibly vicious and awful planning skills to the side of the White. He still remains vicious and awful and regards people as more playing pieces in a vast strategy game than as, you know. People. It's a problem. (There are some exceptions.)
Ysalwen caters her outward appearance and demeanor to reflect that of those around her, or to make those around her more comfortable. She's a thrill-seeker, and tends to err significantly on the side of kindness and freedom out of fear of her own capacity for ruthlessness. She does a lot of projecting herself/issues on to other people and scenarios.
Raven is an insane asshole who thinks misery, frustration, and cryptic statements are the best way to learn. Also harsh experience. See you on the other side, suckers.
Michael is judgemental, harsh, and really bad with emotions or feelings. She also lies to herself a lot, though she's getting better about that.
. . . I feel like there is a trend in here. Somewhere. Hmm.
Liranan has no sense of self-preservation, he is a glutton, and he has no respect for court clothes, because what isn't improved by some dog drool and a lot of fur?
We had a Setter that went pushed through a glass window* just to say hello to the mailman. I grok Dogmeat.
(*The previous owners had replaced the window with single-ply interior glass instead of double-ply weather resistant. This was how we found that out. The Setter was fine and lolling around in the front yard when Dad got home from work. The mailman asked for a different route, from what I understand.)
Raph: Still emotionally defaults to anger, though he's got a good sizable portion of that tamped down these days. Being happily married has done wonders for his mood.
Mike: Smokes when he's stressed. It's a hold over from that time he shared a brain with Bernard Mickey Wrangle.
Bumi: Is a shameless flirt, and drinks a bit too much, and is just generally reckless.
Aang: Runs from his problems, and hopes they go away, rather than just facing them.
Emcee lies and keeps emotionally distant to protect himself, yet likes to push buttons on the wrong people. He ignores larger problems and lies about them, too. He's all about creating the illusion that everything is okay when they're really not. As an addict, he also withdraws into drugs as a coping mechanism.
Floki is a religious purist whose fanaticism will reach disturbing levels. He's also mean to Athelstan. To say the least.
Will has a bad temper, gets restless, drinks, likes to fight and tends to live life to extremes.
Charles thinks he can fix people, assumes that he knows more than he does, is arrogant, privileged and will use his mutation to nudge people in a direction he wants, can get isolated quickly and spends too much time in his head and others.
Quentin can be arrogant, is less of a Fae snob than he used to be but its still there, has no problem speaking his mind even when he really shouldn't, takes up space in places that aren't his, is really good at lying.
William has a bad temper, can be violent, has some weird internal class issues, sucks at talking about emotions and has low self-worth.
Sameth works too hard, forgets to eat and sleep sometimes, can be selfish.
Jane is constantly judging and observing the world, sets herself slightly on the outside of society, speaks her mind even when its unwise, gets lost in her writing.
Moist is a thief, a conman, is awful at staying in one place or with one person, changes how he presents himself depending on who he's with and is always looking for the most he can get out of any interaction.
Demeter doesn't have a good sense of the proper scale of response, has a bad temper, is overly protective of people she considers hers, can lose herself in a sensual experience.
Ivan can both work and play too hard, is arrogant, privileged, will rush into things, has a Barrayaran centered view of the world, puts his own comfort first.
Tumnus can be cowardly as he's not good at taking action, is shy.
Definitely, I keep meaning to do more with him and the Vikings as he had a fascinating interaction with Floki. Oh and I'm back to watching more Clone Wars, Ahsoka is wonderful and Luminara is the best Jedi.
Golden. I'm kind of grinding throw collecting some graphics from a bunch of different sources, so I'm limited on how much I can play right now. But hopefully tomorrow can be an Ahsoka day. = ]
Gordon is incredibly arbitrary in who he opts to speak with (it's not that he avoids them, it's that he refuses to talk around them) and even more arbitrary in what information he chooses to share with other people.
Shephard is gratuitously vulgar and very, very prone to the 'better to ask forgiveness than seek permission' school of thought. Plus, his acceptable-level-of-danger-meter is calibrated way higher than most people's.
Ellen is prone to oversharing at the drop of a hat, takes people at their word far more often than is healthy, and does not really understand when and where it is appropriate to say 'I know that needs to get done, but I am not going to do that'.
Fawkes has a supermutant's primal aggression drive, which is only under control because he has spent decades reining himself in with Zen/Taoist meditation and philosophy. And it still gets out regardless.
Edward Kenway wants fortune and glory and status and has not yet realized that singleminded focus on these things alienates the hell out of people who are important to him.
Stacker Pentecost is, surprise surprise, a control freak. Because somebody has to be.
Santo willingly takes on fights that really ought to be the responsibility of the military or the police, which leaves him far less time for things like Moon Nazis and vampire women and evil scientists resurrecting mummies.
Varric lies and deceives as easily as he breathes. He would say this is one of his better traits, though.
Wee Mad Arthur's biggest flaw is that he is Wee Mad Arthur. Take Fawkes' temper and Shephard's ridiculously high acceptable-levels-of-danger and compress them into somebody six inches high, then pull the pin and run away.
Mark has the problem that most teenagers possess for at least part of their adolescence, the tendency to think that any problem has a simple solution that adults have just ignored. He's growing out of it, and as a student of history, he has a little more of a idea of how the past influences the present. He also comes from a pretty solid background of white, upper middleclass privilege, though his position as a superhero seems to moderate that, since he has to deal with people from all over.
His real failing is that he suffers from "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" when it comes to using his powers. For a relatively smart guy, he has a tendency to solve supercriminal and supervillain problems by hitting them really hard (to his credit, it works pretty well, at least in the short term). It's not that he thinks that violence is okay; it's just that all the problems that Cecil calls upon him to solve are generally solved through violence (or, barring that, through an application of super-strength). It's started to condition him towards that being his first reaction.
Thor is arrogant and quick-tempered. He's not cruel, but he can be thoughtless, and not notice when somebody is hurt or inconvenienced by something he's said or done. He doesn't appreciate all the work that goes into making something comfortable for him -- or, rather, he appreciates it in a vague "one should thank the servants on holidays or when they've done a great job" kind of way, but he doesn't really notice the sheer amount of work that goes on in the background of... everything. He can be condescending, especially in the privacy of his own head.
Enjolras is prone to overlooking the flaws of people he likes or admires. Like, he doesn't deny those flaws, but he'll acknowledge them briefly and quickly move on to the parts he admires instead, both aloud and mentally. (There are reasons he surrounds himself with people who will call him on stuff.) He's a sexist, especially in a passive kind of way -- he doesn't think women are inferior, they're just all... domestic and all about flirtation and marriage and babies and stuff, and that's fine, but he'll be over here devoting his life to Other Important Work instead. Uh. Yeah. He's gotten a bit better about this at Milliways! But it's still a back-of-the-mind assumption, even if he's more willing to make individual exceptions for 'exceptional' women now. Also, uh, he's capable of being extremely methodically brutal about killing people, under the right circumstances.
Cosette is willing to forgive and overlook a great deal in anyone she loves. If she's hurt or upset or worried, especially about something serious, she tends to hide that away inside and be aggressively cheerful instead of discussing the problem. Also, she's pretty naive in some ways, although she's also 16 so of course she is.
Kazul is impatient, snarky, judgmental, and occasionally prone to eating people. Or breathing fire without worrying too much about whether anyone flammable is around. If she's annoyed, she has zero problem with intimidating people by threatening to eat them, whether or not they actually deserve that level of intimidation or are genuinely terrified by it.
Tyler's biggest flaw is the awe he used to hold adults in. In his mind, they're all huge mountains that move on their own and regularly squat in smaller people's lives with little to no regard for whomever they're currently casting shade over. It stopped being humbling years ago and now it's become a sort of well-worn daily terror, especially in regards to his parents. This attitude is all-too-easily applied to other adult and not-so-adult metahumans as well, unfortunately. He believes he really doesn't have that much power or control over his situation and perhaps this is a healthier attitude in the short-term, over the alternatives. Someday, someone might pull that pin after all.
Ibani hasn't had much of a chance to show her biggest flaw yet, namely that she does not deal with losing 'her' people well. At all.
Her first impulse with things threatening her people is to kill it, horribly, and make Them pay dearly for whatever it is they did. She killed the person who murdered her mother figure with lightning when she wasn't trained at all. What she would be capable of NOW if she really lost it.... *shudders*
