We call Epstein a monster. We recoil and condemn. But he called our bluff. Almost no one is willing to admit that Epstein was right: His behavior falls well within historical norms.

THANK YOU!!!

2. Does your OC have a temper?

To a degree, yes. He can get pretty snappy pretty quickly,especially if he was in a foul mood already. He’s the worse when he’sintoxicated though, which is another reason why he abstains from alcohol,besides the fact his parents were killed by a drunk driver. But yeah, he canget nasty at times.

14. If you could compare your OC to an animal, what wouldthey be?

A peacock. He’s one of the most flamboyant personalities,which suits the flair and décor of the peacock!

21. Do they suffer any mental disorders?

He suffers PTSD, which stemmed from the loss of his parents.See, the incident traumatized him to a great extent since he had such a closebond with his parents. He suffers through nightmares, specifically repeatingthe events of the aftermath of the accident. He went to the scene where it occurred,and the paramedics hadn’t fully cleaned up, so he was exposed to a lot ofthings he likely shouldn’t of been. This is also a reason why he refuses todrink, or get his license – he doesn’t want to get in an accident and affect achild, much like how he was. That and he inherited a fear of driving from thewhole situation, even though he himself was not present in the vehicle at thetime. He uses the anti-anxiety medicine prazosin as a method of dealing withthe nightmares and anxiety, and dabbled in cognitive behavior therapy for ashort while as another treatment method.

7. Something they’re proud of?

His career, and his budding reputation in Gotham’sUnderworld. It took a lot for him to get this far, so he feels pretty smug.

2. Does your OC have a temper?

Oh god she has a monstroustemper – like, when she gets at it, she can rant for a solid two hoursabout the smallest of things. Topics range from burnt bagels to a woman whohand change over that’s covered in lotion. She also has a habit of insultingpeople around her, which she apologizes later on about with great regret.

14. If you could compare your OC to an animal, what wouldthey be?

Probably a honey badger. She’s a resilient person, and alsoreally likes food, so it suits!

21. Do they suffer any mental disorders?

Besides stress about school, she doesn’t really suffer anymental health issues.

7. Something they’re proud of?

She’s proud about her medals she earned in school sports.She’s especially good at the rugby team, and likes to brag about all thetackles she’s done, as well as recount stories of memorable moments in gamesshe’s played!

2. Does your OC have a temper?

Ralph has no temper. He’s the type of guy to just shrugthings off. If you insult him, he’ll shrug it off. Break something of his, he’llshrug it off but probably ask you to pay for it. Things don’t really botherRalph.

14. If you couldcompare your OC to an animal, what would they be?

Probably a puffer fish. Probably because when you get himranting about something he enjoys, his presence just seems to increase in theroom (along with the volume of his voice).

21. Do they suffer any mental disorders?

Ralph doesn’t suffer any sort of disorders. He gets anxiousabout school, yes, but it’s more of normal stress than actual anxiety disorder.

7. Something they’reproud of?

 THANK YOU~!

9. Now something they really love?

His perfume business. It’s his baby, you know? His pride andjoy -  and the only memory of his motherhe has left is through her notes that he uses to create his perfumes. So it’ssomething he cares for deeply.

12. Are they a morning person or a night owl?

Oh god, he’s a morning person. We’re talkin up at 6 am, wideawake and ready to go, which is a feat in itself to be honest.

She really loves her stamp collection. It’s a weird hobbyher and her father started together, and she really treasures each and everystamp she gets. They all tell a story, and in her eyes, they’re all valuableaf.

She’s definitely a night person. Even the strongest ofcoffees would not be able to rouse her before 11 am at the earliest, which ismainly why she gets all the afternoon shifts when working Sylvester’s store.

He loves his old book collection. Now, he got mocked a lotfor asking stupid questions in his psych class, but if you get him on the topicof classical literature he could ramble for hours about topics ranging fromOscar Wilde to the controversies of Josephine. He’s extremely passionate aboutnovels such as that.

Breaking: Ralph Smith quits as candidate for 6th Congressional District chair

From Ralph Smith’s Facebook page (see expanded companion article at Bearing Drift): When Thomas Paine penned the words, “These are the times that try men’s souls,” he could have been speaking about Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District’s Republican Committee. When I was first approached by party leaders and activists to consider running for Sixth District Chairman, they pointed out that I could…
