Do you believe in true love or soulmates? Did you know that when a puzzle is made, they use the same stencil to cut the different pictures?

How do you treat others, especially those worse off than you? Better than you? He likes to think he gives everyone a fair shake, but he was always taught to 'give back, plus one, It adds up in the end.' He always offers a job before just a handout, earning him a settlement full of grateful souls who know a skill they can take elsewhere. Farmers can see excitement as minutemen to sow the wild oats and the wounded can settle down on a farm for a bit.

Do you care what others think about you? why? He has to, too many people look up to him now as an ideal of what the world could be... The world could be better.

What would you give your life for, if anything? It has to be about the numbers, will his death guaranty more life for others?

What is your most embarrassing moment? He had just nodded off after a good exhausting romp when the settlement was attacked.

It was after the raiders were dead that he realized he wasn't wearing the fuzzy bottoms of the costume.

What is your vice? Lust, He loves the company of another and feels like he cannot connect with someone unless he's been intimate first. Sloth, he jokes he a sniper class rifleman cause he's too lazy to shoot twice.

What is your Virtue Charity, helping people who need it is an investment in a better world. Patience, Good things take time. Eat two tatos now and wait a week, or eat one and plant one to have four in a week.

Can you be vulnerable? Can you let others protect you? Who and why? Not counting combat.

He often confides in Curie, using his robotics to express a compartmentalized section for her to use her medical psychology to talk it out.

How do you prefer to resolve conflicts? (Talk, violence, trickery, etc) He prefers to de-escalate the problems whenever possible, not having to be charming, just get them to the point of logic. But his pistol is always unfastened and ready for a quick draw.

How would you like to be remembered after you die? By how better he left the world in his wake.

How do others see you? (Or how would you want others to see you?) He wants to be seen as the guy who solved problems, not made them bigger.
