3 & 16 for character developers questions

PHYSICAL PRESENCE AND GESTURE.

3. How do they position themselves in a group? Do they like to be the center of attention, or do they hang back at the edges of a crowd?

Especially to begin with, considering his background and disposition, Lunarre will keep his distance and keep quiet. Over time, getting a better feel and liking of the group, Lunarre will begin to assert himself more while keeping his innermost thoughts and feelings closely guarded. Only a significant amount of time and a significant bond will prompt Lunarre to open up, and by this stage he would have made himself the life and soul of the party, although he will remain an enigma to all except a few people.

DISPOSITION AND TEMPERAMENT.

16. Do they dream? What are those dreams like?

As a human Lunarre didn’t really dream much, although as a child he often had night terrors about being chased by angry townspeople whom he had robbed. These subsided once he became used to and even thrilled by his day-to-day life. After his father’s death, Lunarre often experienced unsettling dreams (for example, dreams where he was falling, and dreams in which he saw father alive while knowing he was supposed to be dead). These dreams mostly subsided once he joined the Scattered Bones, only to be replaced by violent ones - particularly if a mission was occupying his mind a lot.

As a hellion, his wild fantasies about his prey and enemies and the negative emotions fuelling him fuel ever more bloody and violent dreams. Instead of being disturbed by them, it excites him, further darkens his tainted soul, driving him further down the path to madness.

In the XVerse Lunarre experiences one nightmare that disturbs him so badly he could barely bring himself to eat anything for days. In it Lunarre violently murders his own father. It greatly alters his perspective on his hellion nature and one of the driving forces leading to his change of heart.
