[quote=@Fury Panda] [@Ammokkx] I’m cool with him being strong sturdy but unhealable. My only real worry is that it kind of sounds like because he has a disabling condition, that is fairly minor, he became a bad jaded person. I wondered why not just have his disability be more affective overall (unable to walk, missing an apendadge, or even a severe limp) this would at least create future problems for him to solve. As is it kind of seems a bit like his disability exists to explain his special appearance and to act as a lightning rod for bullying, although we all know children don’t need a readon to bully. [/quote] Well, yes, it's fairly minor in context. Maybe I should have stressed a more oddball personality, but let me explain my thought process in how I design characters: I start out with a concept (Gambler) and then think of ways this could work. I brainstorm several ideas and take a rough one (Thrill Seeker) and try to expand on it. From there I got the 'Bored of life' trait alongside the idea of his Persona being something that refuses help. His white hair and red eyes are something I borrowed from Albinos, which are people who lack pigment in hair/skin/eyes and thus become cripplingly vulnerable to sunlight. From there I figured he could get bullied for his appearance and be someone who wouldn't really fight back, thus becoming a recluse. I certainly didn't intend for it to come across as a special snowflake character, however. I try to show how he copes with the situation by making him change his eye colour to look a little more normal and put up a 'nice-guy' front to avoid the whole 'people pick on me constantly' issue. I kind of disagree with kids not needing a reason to bully too, as those who get bullied are generally 'weird' or 'weak' in some way, or in Lock's case, both. If my reasoning hasn't convinced you, though, I can think of another disability.
