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

He does.  Mal is remarkably sharp, and he knows it–he tends to fall back on his analytical nature and cleverness moreso than any of his other attributes because he realizes that his intelligence base is solid and formidable compared to his other mechanisms.  This has the downside of making him occasionally come across as patronizing or arrogant, as well as becoming mired in details that don’t necessarily merit the sort of consideration he gives them.

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

In the current main!verse, control.  He’s had to give up a great deal of it both professionally and personally in order to do what he feels is necessary to keep Vincent (and now himself) from falling back into Hell’s clutches; and at this point he’s essentially hemorrhaging any semblance of control that he’s got left.  It’s a downward spiral that just makes him more reckless the further he falls, because Mal is and always has been a control-freak and a huge part of his personal sense of self hinges on it.

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

ooc:

Alright but REAL TALK. This is so effing hard. On one hand, there’s Vincent. Vincent, who Lucius initially took pride in because he created that little fuck. After that, they fluctuated between friends and enemies. Lucius trusts Vincent and will 100% defend any of his actions against Vincent by claiming that it was all for the other man’s own good. There is, undoubtedly, a very complex but special place in his heart for Vincent and he would do everything within his power to protect Vincent, even if it makes him look like the bad guy.

And then there’s Riley. Even though they’ve gone their separate ways from time to time and he certainly does not approve of her affiliations with certain angels, Lucius would begrudgingly consider Riley one of his closest friends (even if the feeling isn’t mutual). Not only did they have a good chemistry when they were working together, fighting together, and most importantly, drinking together, she was one of the few demons that was able to ground him and give him life advice that he’d actually listen to. More than that, she’s the only one who has met Charlotte, helped him with the kid, and seen a softer side to the demon. She’s the only one who has seen Lucius vulnerable and grow to care about the human child (casual reminder that not even Mal, who knew Lucius forever, knew about Charlotte). Were Lucius to go through a genuine emotional, spiritual crisis, Riley would be the one he’d turn to for advice, because she’s the only one who’s seen him when he’s not a bloodthirsty, merciless monster.
