[fancypost bgcolor=; border-width:0px; width:400px;][justify][size=8]hello! uwu so i'm definitely considering making a boneclan character! pretty hyped since i've kind of fallen in love with the group, and have a lot of ideas already in mind. the problem is, while i've got a basic personality scheme, when it comes to more minor traits / potential small quirks, i keep finding myself coming up short. so yeah, i'd love to get a few suggestions or maybe traits that you'd like to see that would fit him!
this is a basic outline of what i've got so far, pretty rudimentary:
[fancypost bgcolor=; border-width:0px; width:300px;][justify][size=8]+ kind of gruff, not the friendliest of individuals, also awkward socially, doesn't really get people and doesn't want to get too close to anyone.
+ brooding and broken-hearted, isolated because of past incidents -- defensive when it comes to discussing his origins, afraid to open old wounds.
+ believes himself to be permanently scarred / broken. so used to being alert / on edge that he finds it difficult to adapt and probably has minor ptsd.
+ given up on himself and strives to feel emotionally numb most of the time, which he finds difficult to do. doesn't understand that it only hurts him.[/fancypost]

i intend for him to come in with the issues detailed, but be open to them being resolved or partially resolved through character development. he's intended to be a character that helps me deepen and expand my writing, and deepen the perspective of future characters.
he's basically a fallen angel who originally, filled with spite and guilt, took to violence, thievery, etc. as a means of unleashing his anger. it quickly spiralled out of control, and he soon found himself a shadow of the heavenly being he'd once been. overwhelmed by guilt and unable to face his demons, he drifted for a while, before joining up with a group who trained him as a soldier. in this new, harsh environment, he constantly had to watch his back and sleep with one eye open.
since he'd never really faced or tried to resolve past emotions / sins, they later overwhelmed him. in a spiral of depression, he left the group, and found some solace in a lover. however, her infidelity later came to light, and she left him for another man. during that period of time, he'd managed to somewhat pull himself together, at least on the outside. and, as aforementioned, he's most likely going to be joining boneclan.
okay so, i rambled a ton, sorry aha -- basically, i'd love some suggestions for minor quicks / personality traits as well as name suggestions? i'm thinking maybe either larkin or laufey, but i'd love some other idea. and maybe just some input on the character concept as a whole? i love hearing people's opinions on things and rely on them since my judgement's pretty poor, so don't be afraid to straight out tell me the whole thing is terrible because i'll just be happy i avoided making a terrible character. thank you! <3333
ps: if someone could suggest better ideas for his history / help me make it not terrible, that would be wonderful! xoxo
