Send one of these in and Iāll talk about my muse: Wrath Edition
4. Is there anything that makes them snap faster?
Nightshade in any verse is extremely difficult to piss off. In fact, Iām not even sure you can piss her off. She gets upset, sure, but not angry to the point sheĀ āsnapsā or lashes out.
Axel is a bit of a wild canon, at least in the Mainverse. Depending on his mood, some days the trigger is paper thin and some days, itās almost impossible to ruin his day. The fastest way to grind his gears is to give off the impression you know something about his past with Ketele (but thatās also probably the fastest way to get killed). He wonāt care at all about insults thrown his way and shrugs it all off.
Human!Axel or any other AU where Axel isnāt a psychopath, where heās more jaded and chill, is also extremely difficult to poke at. Heās also not one to be bothered by insults directed at him. The one thing that might piss him off would be insults or genuine threats towards the people he cares about. Thatās something he wonāt ignore.
Samhain on the other hand is prone to snapping, levels of restraint depends on the situation and AU. There are times where he bottles it up, if he doesnāt find a proper outlet to vent out his frustrations, even the smallest thing can trigger an outburst. It could range from not being able to save someone from a dangerous situation, not getting his latest potion right, witnessing or hearing awful news and unable to make himself useful or help. Doesnāt matter what the trigger is, itās just a matter of piling up the small irritations andĀ ābreaking the camelās backā if not dealt with properly.
Dark!Samhain on the other hand seems to be in a constant state of anger and spite. Itās even possible to say that such energies fuel him at this point. The smallest annoyances can set him into a foul mood, and this worsens if the unlucky soul crosses his path while in a warmer climate (Dark!Samhain hates the heat). He absolutely despises rude, obnoxious and very loud humans (though this extends to spirits and mythos as well but especially humans).
12. Do they have any sort of visceral reaction to violence?
When witnessing or experiencing violence, Samhainās immediate response is fight but more specifically to defend both himself and any innocent passers-by. In his line of work, Samhain is used to violent reactions of all kinds whether directed at him personally or at others. He deals with monsters of all shapes and sizes, and malevolent spirits all who usually have harmful intent.
No matter how long sheās been doing the job, unlike Samhain, Nightshade still physically winces when witnessing acts of terrible violence. The kind of acts brutal enough to cause bleeding or gore. When surrounded by too much, sheāll try to look away and might even feel a little ill. Nightshade hates violence and her first instinct is to evade and flee rather than return an attack. She also has very protective instincts but has very different methods compared to Samhain.
Axel on the other hand is on the extreme side of the spectrum. Violence is one of the few things that makes him feel alive. Seeing violence happening in front of him is all good and all, but he needs to be the one at the wheel to get a real kick out of it. It stimulates him unlike anything else and once he starts, itās hard for him to stop. When in the heat of battle, the smell of blood is enough to get his own blood pumping which can also lead to other physical reactions as well. The bloodlust drives him to be incredibly horny hormonal, and the thrill of death and gore he gets from fighting is as good as sex to him.
