🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level

Temperance mostly prefers singing to playing instruments, but as his predecessors were very musically inclined, he has at a minor familiarity with a range of instruments, mostly and particularly stringed instruments.

Ones he's personally practiced with to bring him up to a more advanced level are lutes, lyres, and harps. He hasn't touched more modern instruments as of yet but he'd probably learn them pretty quick.

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

Well, mental disabilities is hard to say. Severe trauma is a for sure. Some form of social anxiety maybe? His mannerisms could also be taken as autism, perhaps?

I'd rather not make claims I can't confidently back up though, even if I myself have those last two.

Physical though! There are a few oddities to his body as a result of the "evolutions" his incarnations have been going through. Nothing obvious externally. Internally, whatever counts as his organs are misplaced in some regards.

For instance, his heart, or whatever counts as it, is literally in the wrong place. It's not on the left side of his chest. A fact that constantly throws people off who go for his vitals, and why he has such a massive cluster of scars in that area but is still kicking.

🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?

First! His honesty. Yes, most consider such a thing a good thing. Whatever he tells you, especially anything good, you can know for a fact he means it, 100%. He doesn't give empty flattery.

However the flipside to it, when he doesn't have something good to say, is why he grates on his siblings. He will berate you for your excess. Lecture you when your behavior is doing more harm than good. He will point out your failings and will not sugar coat it.

The only thing that brings it back up is that it's not coming from a place of malice, most of the time.

If you're sensitive to that though, best you can hope is that he decides keeping it to himself is more beneficial to the situation. Which, to the relief of some, is something that happens more often these days.

Second! His cautiousness and, by extension, restraint. Temperance is a careful planner, he will not rush into situations heedlessly or without some consideration. He also can hold back to quite an extent. Words. Actions. Attacks. It's all carefully measured all the way to execution. If he doesn't want you dead, he will not kill you.

However, this can cause situations where things get worse because of a lack of decisiveness and impulse. Sometimes it is better to bust right in the front door ASAP, rather than take time scouting. And his restraint can sometimes be a mistake. Sometimes you have to speak your mind when you think you shouldn't. Sometimes sparing someone causes more problems than it solves.

Third! His self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Temperance has spent centuries training himself to be this way, able to handle any situation on his own. You can be assured that if you leave him to handle foes alone that he can handle himself.

However...This lone wolf attitude causes him to place little consideration in help from others, total strangers or not. He treats others as mere associates whose goals merely align at the moment, or expects that any help he receives is merely a bargaining chip for a favor to be returned.

He very, very rarely asks for help, even when he absolutely needs it.

While this caution does make him correctly take information and help with a grain of salt, there ARE people in this world who have ulterior motives after all, this arm's length treatment of others makes him very, very few real friends.
