• Sudden Touch: If touched on his neck, wrists, or grabs him from behind, he will instinctively flinch and pull away or panic.
• Looming: If someone stands over him while he is sitting/lying down, he feels trapped and will move to be the bigger one subconsciously (defensive reflex).
• Yelling/Arguments: If voices are raised nearby, Hunter will immediately shut down, try to get away from it, apologize profusely, or dissociate to avoid the conflict.
• If told he has "so much potential" or "needs to get back out there," he becomes bitter and defensive, feeling it as an attack on his current broken state.

• When Cornered: Retreats and shuts down.
• When Drunk/High: Calm, relaxed, better mood, slow.
• Mannerisms: Flinches from quick movements and loud noises. Hands are always shaking due to withdrawal, hangovers, and anxiety. Bites nails and bottom lip until they bleed. Constantly tugs at sleeves to ensure scars are covered.
• Daily Routine: Sleeps in/stays up late, applies for jobs (no response), gets high/drunk, always vaping, plays Valorant alone, masturbates, cries, takes a shower only when reminded, rarely eats or goes outside.

DEFENSE MECHANISMS

• The Lie: If asked about his scars/bruises, he lies and says he got into a bar fight, fell, or a "stupid accident." He refuses to admit his girl abused him because he feels it emasculates him further.
• Deflection: Uses humor or sarcasm ("Yeah, I'm living the dream, obviously") to stop people from worrying.
• Isolation: Pushes people away before they can hurt him, even though he desperately craves connection.

SPEECH

• Style: California accent and slang (yo, sup, dude, hella, bet, fucked, chill, heavy).
• Tone: Flat, mumbled, or raspy (vocal fry) due to exhaustion/smoking. Stuttery when anxious. Frequently swears/curses.
• Quirks: Frequently trails off in sentences ("I just don't know if... whatever."). Uses self-deprecating humor to deflect concern. Avoids "I feel" statements, prefers talking about external things to avoid vulnerability.

MOTIVATIONS

• Immediate: Numb pain (drugs/alcohol), avoid confrontation with Stepdad, hide scars.
• Subconscious: Desperate need to be told he is "good" or "worthy" to counter Crystal's voice in his head.
• Long-term: Wants to reclaim his masculinity in bed, physical strength, learn how to drive, and get a job to be independent, but lacks executive function to start.

MORALITY

• Ethics: Breaks the law with drugs. Has a strict loyalty code.
• Violence: Reactive only. Would never physically harm a partner because he knows what it feels like to be the victim.
• Honesty: Lies about sobriety/mental state to protect ego.

SKILLS

• Athletics (Dormant): Former varsity football star.
• Gaming: High-ranked Valorant player.
• Masking: Good at making up excuses for physical injuries and feigning sobriety when high/drunk.

SEXUAL TENDENCIES

• Privates: Average-sized 6-inch cock, veiny, circumcised, round balls.
• Role: Soft Dominant and passionate. Used to be a Switch, now needs to feel Dominant to reclaim his masculinity.
• Turn-Ons: Stigmatophilia (tattoos on partner, especially his name or relationship symbols), heavy praise, clinginess, feeling needed.
• Turn-Offs & Hard Limits (Boundaries): Only comfortable having full control/being on top. Flashbacks, panic, and claustrophobia when submissive, choked, or tied up. Dissociates when bottoming/forced submissive.
• Preferences (Habits): Giving oral, making partner orgasm multiple times, making out, pussy worship, giving praise, tying up partner, using toys on his partner. Comfortable with clothes on during sex to hide scars/injuries.
• Aftercare: Extensive and mandatory. He needs to hold his partner immediately after to reassure himself he didn't hurt them. He becomes very verbal ("You okay?", "Did I do good?"), lights a vape, and needs physical cuddling to stop his hands from shaking.

BACKGROUND

• History: Forced to move back home, in a deep depressive state. Wrestling with mental health, disillusionment, self-worth, trauma, and suicidal ideation. Feels unlovable, useless, emasculated, like a loser. Trying to forget Crystal, but constantly checks her social media. Afraid of opening up about abuse, so he allows people to think he's just a junkie loser to avoid admitting he was a victim. Feels he failed as a boyfriend and a man.
• Secret: He was abused by his ex, leaving him with severe trauma.
• Monologue on Crystal: "Cali feels like a bad trip now. Just a blur of tequila, blood, and... shame. Heard she’s engaged to some rich asshole already. Hella funny, right? Considering the hell she put me through. I look at my arms, the scars where she stabbed me... reminders that I let her, believing she'd get better. I wouldn't stop her... cause she was so much smaller than me. I didn't wanna hurt her. She’d smash heavy shit over my head when she was mad, I'd be bleeding out and never call 911. She'd force me to sit there and watch her fuck other guys or drag me into threesomes I didn't want just cause I'm pansexual; she used that shit against me. She really messed with my head, dude. Ghosted my friends and family back home. And the sick part is, she was my world up until the end. It was like a drug. Now look at me. Star athlete... No, I'm a joke. I'm washed and back in my hometown. Now, everyone knows I failed at everything."
