HOUR IN ISOPOD

Spectre of Saturn

wait, what’s going on?

How strong or weak is your OC’s Impulse control? What’s the worst thing that happened becuase of their Impulsivity or inability to be so?

Phoenix is the guy who really wants to eat the cake, and you can read it on his sad, hungry face, but stoically won’t, because you asked him not to. He’s got pretty strong self-control and is fairly level-headed, usually, though it can be a dangerous mistake to confuse his ability to keep a lid on it for genuine chill, because when he does goes ham, he goes whole hog and also full bore. Part of the reason he tries so hard to manage himself is because he has his entire early career as an abyssal to look back on in horror.Harvester is the guy who really wants to keep his word and not eat the cake, but will have done so by the end of the night anyway. He has TERRIBLE impulse control and his whole unfortunate unlife is a testament to this. He’s crashed expensive yachts into city docks trying to sail with sail 0 while inebriated. He’s jumped down pits studded in adamant because there are interesting skeletons at the bottom. He’s used Shattering Void Mirror in broad daylight on the Perfect of Paragon just because the guy made him mad enough to. Every moment of Harv’s life is a decision point and he is always deciding wrong.

Daia, though? Daia is the person who doesn’t want to eat the cake, but the moment she was told not to, knows she has to. She is driven by the triplet engines of pettiness, hubris, and secret hopeless romanticism, and they will not stop careening her wildly towards Dramatic Decisions Island. She once sold her soul to a yozi for a year and a day to save the woman she loved. She once took a sip from an artifact cup that represented the *entire concept of a single shinma* because she thought it would be cheeky (she got megacursed). She is currently learning secret, forbidden, self-altering truths from the same yozi as before because she thinks she can possibly be strong enough to not be overcome by them. Every single day of Daia’s life is numbered.

How does your OC sabotage themselves?

Phoenix sabotages himself by getting angry at himself when he notices himself feeling ‘too happy’, and picking at old mental and emotional wounds to try and keep them raw!Harv sabotages himself by letting his fear of confrontation (both in terms of physical and emotional risks) overcome his ability to reach out and exercise the compassion for others he has bottled up, and lead him down the road to bitterness and passive-aggression!

SQUID KID!!!!!!!!!!!
