What is your OC's deepest desire? Would they ever ask for this?

How quickly does your OC reach their breaking point? What are they like when this point has been reached?

“Ah, my little Law. How beautiful to receive some queries from thee.”

Mundane Life: Jonah is quite a big fan of routine, and so she follows it pretty extensively in his day to day life. It normally goes as follows - wake up in the early hours, before following a complex twelve step skincare routine that includes using the slime from several different Zee beasts and a long scorching hot bath. Then, drink several cups of black coffee along the way to the upper floors of the Embassy before clocking in. Work usually consists of scheduling, seeing new and returning customers and filing away the original copies of contracts in neat alphabetical order down in the depths of storage. Once work is done, he’ll tidy himself up before heading over to Veilgarden or Mahogany Hall to truly enjoy all that the Neath has to offer in terms of entertainment. Drink - quite heavily in fact. Indulge in some recreational stalking of potential customers. Every good day ends with him spending at least an hour or two with his loved ones, before curling into bed long after they have.

Deepest Desire: Hm. I think Jonah’s true desire, is to be unconditionally adored by all. This is why he pushes so hard, why she took part in the Marvellous. He just wants to be truly appreciated.

What does your OC carry around in their pockets? What about their bag?

How does your OC remember their childhood? Is this an accurate reflection of what their childhood was actually like?

What is your OC's gender identity and sexual orientation? Is this also what they identify as in canon, or are they not (fully) aware?

Actions: Manipulate. Jonah adores to play people like a cheap fiddle, but if that was even slightly done towards him? Oh, she would most utterly crash out over it. He’s the puppeteer, not the puppet damn you!

Pockets: When it comes to his possessions, Jonah tends to carry light. Upon his person, she can often be found with a small metal container filled with immaculately rolled cigars alongside a similarly immaculate lighter. A few echoes, to give to the poor for the sake of appearances. It’s house keys, of course. She’s also the type to carry a pocket watch - it is more useful than one thinks. For his bag, Jonah carries a rather modern bag! It contains everything a Devil could ever need - several shades of parchment paper, many different pens and inks for every occasion alongside a book in case of immediate boredom. In fact, to list everything in Jonah’s bag would take all day p it is nearly infinitely spacious. There’s also often a little flask of alcohol hidden away in one of the layers of his bag and coat.

Childhood: Jonah remembers absolutely none of his youth, except for a warmth. Perhaps that’s for the better.

20- How quick is your OC to shift blame? Do they own up to their mistakes, or are they prone to start pointing fingers at others?

21- How does your OC handle criticism?

22- How good is your OC at apologizing, if they do this at all?

(the numbers might be wrong........)

“Oh my, you must be the hooded one I have heard about.. let’s see, what delightful questions do you have to ask..”

Blame: Jonah, is a master at shifting blame. Everyone knows that he’s perfect after all, a mistake would be simply terrible for his track record. You will never, ever hear Jonah willingly admit to a mistake she has made - unless it will actively make his life easier to pretend that he’s ashamed by it. There are many, many people in prison or worse because of Jonah’s mistakes and her refusal to take the blame for it - and worst of all, most of those people consider it an honour to be taking the fall for him.

Criticsm: Oh, not well. Not well at all. From strangers, Jonah responds with a snort of dismissal and a waved hand - their opinions don’t matter, so why should he acknowledge them? From society, she tends to make whoever criticised him to look like the wrong one, the terrible one - it might even play the card of trying to insinuate that they’re simply jealous of him. But criticism from a loved one? That’s when it truly stings. Jonah will completely shut down, his metaphorical walls go immediately up and she’ll become utterly cold to them as if some sort of switch had been flicked. It’s torturous really.
