1: What’s your OC’s biggest insecurity and how would they react if someone pointed it out to them?

Recks’ biggest insecurity is probably his inability to capture the Master Thief, The Nightingale, and he worries a lot about his professionalism.

2: If your OC wants to buy a firearm, what it might be for?

To capture The Nightingale and to bring justice.

3: Does your OC behave differently around different people, if so with whom and how?

It depends on who he’s around. Usually with his work-mates he’s typically quiet and reserved, if they’re someone he likes he shows more emotion and typically will talk to them about things he likes. He has a habit though of just talking about the Nightingale to anyone who’ll listen.

4: Would your OC want to involve themselves in humanitarian work ? If yes, then for what? If not, then why not?

He wouldn’t mind helping out the poor, whether it’s through charity or running a soup kitchen, because that’s what Retoran would want him to do.

5: How would your OC generally react to someone being verbally abusive towards them for no apparent reason?

Recks would immediately become defensive and probably say some cruel things back, maybe threaten to take them to prison or something along those lines if the abuse was bad enough.

6: Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?

He is perfectly aware of just how smart he is, though sometimes he does do things that are incredibly stupid because he thinks he’ll be able to catch The Nightingale if he does them.

7: Does your OC have any irrational phobias?

He doesn’t really like the dark and usually keeps at least one light source on at night.

8: How is/was your OC’s relationship with their parents?

Recks has a very good relationship with his parents. He writes and visits as often as he can.

9: Does your OC feel a pressure to achieve or are they content and calm with doing what they can at the moment?

He has a lot of pressure on him, mainly because he decided to chase around a figure that most people regarded as a myth for a long time. There’s a lot of skeptics who think he’s wasting time and resources.

10: Does your OC guard their emotions by being tough? If not how would they?

A little, he only really opens up around people he knows he can trust or people he likes. He doesn’t always hide behind a tough facade though.

11: How would your OC react to hearing they’re adopted?

He’d be very surprised, but would have no issues with it. His lvoe for his family would not diminish.

12: What is one of the most primary things your OC feels that is missing from their life?

The Nightingale’s capture.

13: What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?

Anything that would make him look like a fool, but also intimacy with another person and not just in the sexual sense.

14: If your OC gets into a fight with their best friend, would they wait for their friend to make up with them, or would they try to make up with their friend?

Depends on what the argument was about, but I think on the whole Recks would probably be the one to try and mend the relationship first. He doesn’t like it when people are mad at him.

15: Does your OC consider themselves a good person?

The very best! He upholds justice and peace, everything Retoran stands for.

16: Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?

Depends on what sort of feelings need validated. If he feels like it would be morally wrong, he will not validate anyone. However, he does look out for his friends and does his best to make sure that they know he’s there for them.

17: Does your OC suffer from any mental health issues?

No, Recks is in tip-top shape.

18: What kind of intrapersonal values does your OC have? (values about their self, what makes them feel like a valid person)

Doing good and helping others makes Recks feel good about himself, he validates himself with his strong morality.

19: What boosts your OC’s confidence the most?

Catching thieves or any criminal really. Telling him that he’s a good man, that he’s brave, or that he’s handsome.

20: Does your OC hurt others often unintentionally? If yes, how?

A little bit, there is a guard who works under him who has a crush on him. This guard is very awkward so Recks is quick to dismiss him, unaware of how much it upsets this guard.

21: Does your OC hurt others often intentionally? If yes, how?

Unless they’re a criminal, Recks is very careful with how he treats people and how he behaves around them. He doesn’t intentionally like to hurt people who don’t deserve it.

22: How does your OC usually show affection? Are they openly romantic or more restricted with their affectionate emotions?

He’s a little more restricted with his affection, in private he’ll be very open about it, but in public he feels like he has a reputation to uphold and doesn’t like to display it a lot.

23: Does your OC tend to hide something about their personality/essence when meeting new people? If yes, what?

His obsession with the Nightingale.

24: How would your OC react if they got humiliated by someone in a group of people?

He would tear up, become angry, and then try to flee as quickly as he could.

25: How would your OC process the grief caused by the death of a loved one?

He would at first deny that they died before becoming overwhelmed with grief and begin crying.

26: What is the most intense thing your OC has been battling with?

His obsession with The Nightingale and his need to capture the thief himself.

27: Does your OC practise any kind of escapism? If yes, what kind?

He doesn’t really practice escapism, if anything he just makes things worse for himself by thinking about it nonstop.

28: How would your OC react if a bully stole their lunch money in high school?

He would enact swift justice upon them by dragging them to the principal and demand that they be punished properly.

29: How does your OC behave on the face of a conflict?

He keeps himself rather levelheaded, unless it’s the Nightingale, and tries to come up with a strategy to the best of his abilities.
