[h2][color=ffff4d][b]Personality[/b][/color][/h2]
[indent]Emmerich, or Emme as he is often called, is a complex man of many contrasting qualities. Though he presents an outward appearance of being calm, patient, and understanding, he is also known to possess an inner fierceness when it comes to facing challenges. Emme is extremely caring, looking out for others' well-being, yet he can be strict when he feels it is warranted. He is determined to accomplish his goals and does not back down easily. Emme tends to be stoic and reserved on the surface, rarely displaying strong emotions publicly. However, those close to him know he feels things very deeply and can be explosively emotional at times. One of his most surprising traits is his innocence when it comes to innuendo, sarcasm, and other allusions that may have suggestive undertones. Emme takes things at face value and does not always pick up on subtleties or reading between the lines. His literal interpretations can lead to humorous misunderstandings. Though Emme may seem to embody contradictions, these varied facets come together to form a complex man who values caring for others while also fiercely defending his beliefs. His calm exterior balances his inner emotional depth. Emme's surprising innocence reveals his trusting nature, even in the face of a cynical world.[/indent]

[list][*] [color=ff8100][b]Sensory Overload -[/b][/color] Heightened senses put him at danger of being easily overloaded by bright lights, loud and high-pitched noises, and other concentrated presences of sensory emission.
[*] [color=ff8100][b]Dravek Meat -[/b][/color] Consumption of dravekian flesh can cause hallucinogenic episodes and triggers the release of both serotonin and melatonin, bringing a content sluggishness and even sleep.

Mental processing becomes clouded, and a dravek exposed to the substance may find it hard to focus for even hours after initial intake. Animals known to bring this effect include various livestock, such as cows, sheep, goats, and pigs, as well as more wild sorts such as deer, rabbit, and boar. Draveks have to be very careful when consuming the meat of these animals and ensure that anything they consume from the creatures is cooked to “well done”.[/list]
