10. What energizes and drains them most?
Luca enjoys running. It’s an easy enough thing to manage regardless of what he’s doing or where. It really gets him going when he does it in the morning and helps focus his mind for the rest of the day.
When it comes to what he finds most draining, it would have to be speaking foreign languages. The one that is the worst for him is English, despite the fact that a good portion of his business abroad is conducted in the language. It just takes so much to express himself in that properly despite years of practice. At the end of the day he just prefers to exist in his own tongue.
20. What kind of individual relationships do they have with others, and how do they behave in them? How are they different between intimate relationships like friends, family, and lovers versus more impersonal relationships?
Most of Luca’s relationships are familial. Around them he’s very much a sweet man who completely separates his work from his personal life, not that he’s completely open with them about that. Sure, they know he’s gay and accept that, but he still makes a concentrated effort to keep that part of his life out of their lives.
He has a few friends in life and with them, it’s just a normal friendship. They meet up when they can, they text and talk. It’s kind of boringly normal, but Luca loves that feeling. It’s something he’s so rarely afforded with his job.
As for lovers and romantic relationships, Luca tends to be all in. He’s a sucker for romance and will find a way to make things work as long as the other person puts in effort as well. However, those tend to be few and far between.
30. What is their preferred level of activity and stimulation? How do they cope if they get either too little or too much?
Generally he prefers to be pretty active and well stimulated mentally. He’s not one for an excessive amount of down time and when he has it, he makes work for himself by either going to workout or by finding something of interest to occupy him. However, when he has too much too focus on he gets rather testy because it’s too much input for him to process and he’s not used to to being overwhelmed that way.
40. What do they wonder about? What sparks their curiosity and imagination, and why? How is this expressed, if it is?
He wonders about a lot of things, really. The number one thing is generally matters related to science since that’s what he was raised on by his father. He loves watch documentaries or read scientific magazines for the sake of learning something new about the world around him. It excites him.
