Always heading forward dauntlessly or winding around back to where to began. And in some ways they are both right and wrong in a sense. I would propose that the most accurate model for time would be that of a wheel. Present circumstance and my own capabilities notwithstanding, time is always progressing onward whether one likes it or not. But when you look at the history of humanity, broadly speaking behaviors repeat themselves and societies reflect that going through cycles of birth, rise, peak, decline, death and rebirth. And even beyond that more literally time is tracked in cycles. The cycle of day and night, the orbit of the moon and the Earth around the Sun. Even the vast majority of time-track devices are circular. But every time you return back to your starting point, you've moved forward. Oh sure that might not sound very impressive laid out like that, but it took me quite a long time to really understand that or what it meant. People have a habit of taking knowledge they possess for granted. You're always doing the same things over and over again, but you can change the future, and in a way you can also change the past."[/i] The primary personality trait of the Watch is Openness, the domain of creativity and abstract ideas. Giosue loves learning and experiencing new things, and he spends much of his time thinking about other things and studying ideas and hypotheses, often to the detriment of actually paying attention to his surroundings. However, his creativity makes him very good at coming up with unorthodox solutions to problems. Second, but not by much is the trait of Conscientiousness, the personality aspect of Order. Like a watch, he is uniform, reliable and prompt. Even when he's wrong, he's wrong in a consistent matter. Everything has its place, and Giosue is loathe to make a mess of things. In this way he naturally does a good job of blending in, because he rarely acts in a way that would disrupt order, socially or legally. Although the term introvert wouldn't fit him, extrovert doesn't quite work either. He makes his opinions known and talks when he thinks he needs to, but he's not overly assertive; however, he's no social doormat or shrinking violet. He does fine both in groups or alone, but doesn't excel or find himself particularly driven to either environment. Giosue has over time, and especially after the death of Drem developed a sort of numbness to the blight of others. He has a difficult time caring about the problems of others and finds himself more distant with his fellow man than he was in times past. His words have taken on a blunt edge. That said, despite his rude demeanor, he's not one easily upset. He's rarely anxious and just as uncommonly mad. Even under harsh circumstances he rarely loses his cool. But at the same time he can be blind to potential dangers or underestimate them simply as a factor of not thinking of them.
