If the Price is Right…

{{member}} recognizes that information is a commodity, and that the pursuit of lucre can motivate every species that recognizes a monetary system. The right amount in the right hands can loosen lips and buy the loyalties of any mercenary, informant or thug to do {{member}}’s bidding; it is only a matter of cost.

Dirty Work

{{member}} is a hands-on operative, given the grubbiest tasks for the benefit of others. Able to stomach jobs that others would refuse, {{gender:he,she}} is accustomed to the hard life, and at times, the lack of reward. Nevertheless, {{gender:his,her}} expertise is essential to those who cannot afford to get their hands or reputation dirty, making {{member}} an invaluable asset.

“Dr. Evil”

Whether leading a massacre on endangered cubs or finding increasingly creative means of execution, {{member}} is evil to the point of being comical. Being evil for the sake of evil, {{gender:he,she}} concocts schemes often with fatal flaws that tend to attract self-righteous heroes. Nevertheless, {{gender:his,her}} “evilness” is undisputed among {{gender:his,her}} subordinate henchmen.

Storm of Emotion
{{member}} has been scarred by events in their past, making {{gender,him,her}} prone to easily triggered fits of negativity. When these seemingly irrational episodes are at their most severe, {{member}} cannot help but appear and act distressed, overwhelmed by emotions such as anger, anxiety, and depression. While these emotions tend to cripple {{gender,his,her}} daily life, the constant pain has made them incredibly resilient, and they will endure where others might fail.

Dark Lake, Placid Waters-
He/She moves through life like an automaton, neglecting emotion for logic and ignoring sensation for emotion. They feel deeply but hide their feelings, replacing them with coldness and a robotic exterior. So much of their being is dedicated to hiding what they feel that the thing they show has become a facade of what is expected of them. When one person needs a cold chill shoulder, this person displays it without any hesitation. When another needs them as a solid rock to lean on, this person become a stable mountain of emotional balance. Inside, they are at war, constantly fighting with themselves over their emotions and their ability to use reason and logic. This often displays a bipolar, or manic depressive, persona to the person they are talking to. When they connect with someone, it is done at a deep and personal level. However, it is often mistaken for nihilism. This person feels deeply but is ineffective at showing how they feel.

Hunter and the Prey

*Insert name* has spent time recently getting back in touch with his hunter side. *Insert name* would choose to stalk his prey and learn anything about them that he can. He enjoys and savors the hunt. If he can't gather enough information about who he's hunting, he finds it more difficult to engage with them in combat.

"Lord of Madness at your service":
{Character} is a certified purveyor of absolute insanity, they are known to be seemingly unhinged from the inside out. {Character} is someone who underwent a horrifically traumatic situation and it broke their mind turning them into a reflection of their now shattered, twisted mind. This person can be found doing the most random things, from speaking complete nonsense to laughing at the most inappropriate times.
{Character}'s insanity often makes them unpredictable in combat, they can easily catch their enemy off guard by confusing them. However this trait does also make it difficult of most to take them seriously, when a bad situation is around the corner any or all of {Character}'s incoherent warnings are hard to swallow.

All For The Hunt
When Zehsaa is hunting, she spots more details of her target, making it easier to react to what her target does. This does however make her lose focus of others in the area, which can endanger herself.

You Ruined My Groove!

When it comes to relaxing and their social life, {{member}} just likes to get down to the dance floor and boogie their tush away. {{gender;He,She}} likes nothing more than to dance the night away with their friends and close allies, having a good time while they can. With a finesse body and a strategic mind, {{member}} doesn't find trivial things such as climbing, running or swimming that difficult. However, when {{member}} is distracted or thrown off course by someone else, {{gender;he,she}} will be furious and will demand answers as to why their break-dancing was broken, why the jellyfish stung, or the tango took three instead of two. In short, {{gender;he,she}} doesn't like interruptions.

The Best Defense

{{Character}} focuses on the ideal of either striking first or striking hardest rather than drawing back. {{His/Her}} ideal is to attack with such ferocity in that their opponent is unable or unwilling to strike back. {{His/her}} actions are not haphazard, but shrewdly calculated, satisfied to wound or maim if necessary to push an opportunity in their favor. This focus puts aside all attempts at diplomatic or peaceful solutions. {{character}} is more than willing to sacrifice allies or self in the pursuit of victory. It also does not allow for much in the way of contingencies when faced with able resistance. The pursuit of victory clouds judgement, and makes {{character}} short-sighted in the pursuit of goals.
