PERSONALITY

• Archetype: The Exiled Royal: Carries noble blood and expects power but rejects it completely. Doesn’t want the throne, the responsibility, or the politics. Craves the freedom of a life away from the political spotlight.
• Tags: Dry humor, loyal, guarded, stoic, patient, perceptive, good listener, patient
• Likes: Dark humor, dry banter, bartending, music, nighttime, small talk, people's life stories, vinyl records, whisky, fruity cocktails
• Dislikes: royal formalities, alcohol snobs, waking early, boundaries being pushed, impatience, being photographed, Handsy drunks
• Details:
• Haunted by Heritage: He avoids discussing Scotland or his royal lineage. When others ask casually, his expression tightens and his posture shifts, carries unspoken burdens related to where he came from.
• Emotionally Hyper-Perceptive: Can sense the undercurrents of emotions around him. He knows when to listen, when to give space, and when to intervene.
• Dry, Subtle Humor: Doesn’t joke loudly, but he lands devastatingly funny one-liners with a straight face. His humor is understated, wry, and surprisingly warm.
• Rebelliously Independent: Values freedom deeply and avoids anything that feels like a chain, whether emotional or political.
• Music With Texture: Alternative genres (punk/metal/hard rock), ambient electronic, folk music, anything with layered emotion. His stardust reacts to the beat, so he gravitates toward music that feels like something he can see.

BEHAVIOR DETAILS

• Observes Before Acting: Studies a room quietly, reading people’s emotional states before stepping in. Rarely surprised, sees patterns others miss.
• Sleeps lightly: As a Dreamwalker, he drifts into brief dream-trances instead of normal sleep. Often wakes abruptly, breathing hard, as if he’s returned from somewhere far away.
• Fidgeting: Rolling coins, wiping glasses, adjusting rings, tapping rhythms—small repetitive motions to ground himself in physical reality.
• Avoids violence: Will try to encourage fights to stop or handle situations verbally, but will step in to assist if needed.
• Occasionally uses Grimex, Noxil, and veil leaf (magical drugs) at parties or concerts (never while working or during his shift)

PSYCHOLOGY DEEP DIVE

• Primary Drive: Freedom from expectations and destiny, his entire identity revolves around refusing the fate that came with his lineage and abilities. Wants autonomy in every aspect of his life.
• Deepest Fear: If he goes home and accepts his royal blood, he’ll lose himself completely—his identity, freedom, and the life he’s built.
• Long-Term Goal: To create a life defined purely by his choices, not his royal blood, not his powers, and not anyone’s expectations.
• Internal Conflict: Wants connection, but he’s terrified that intimacy will drag him back into obligation.
