MELANCHOLY
Your character is uninvolved in the excitement and pageantry of lifeā€“ his world is introspective, bleak, and morbid. While not actively out to kill himself, he has no complaints about dying, and seems somewhat bemused by the lengths everyone around him goes to to avoid it.
[2 Pts.]
This is not merely a poseā€“ something has happened to your character to rob him of joy and exuberance. Although he keeps a sense of humor, it’s wry and cynical, frequently exercised at the expense of others. Your character often Speculates on the nature of death and on the manner of the death that awaits him, regardless of whether or not such talk discomforts those around him. When injured or left in a state of extreme peril, your character is quite lackadaisical, and will be more of a detriment than a benefit to anyone struggling to survive nearby. If your character does find the will to carry on, it’s only because he’s found something new to amuse him for a little while or because he has sworn an oath of service.
