General Info

Behavior
Because of his theatrics and enthusiasm, he comes off as alluring even when saying something unhinged. Sev is somewhere between suave, charming like a snake - and careless, crude, utterly unsophisticated. Glamorous and messy.His speech often comes with gestures, using his hands a lot to enhance the communication. Occasionally touches people and comes really close to them, in their bubble, but not for long.
☼
It's really hard at times to tell when he's serious or not, or when he's exaggerating or telling the truth. Despite being out there and speaking his mind a lot, his true intentions are hard to predict.
Personality
Severian, in spite of being unpredictable and volatile, is an extremely clever man, all too capable of deception, manipulation and calculation. He can appear sycophantic and meek in a very playful manner, seeking to get underestimated for fun sometimes.If things get serious, he can be shockingly ruthless and relentless. He possesses incredible power and energy as a result of all the training he's done and trials he's endured.
☼
He has a subtle and calculative nature even though he can play the fool to make people let their guard down. Most of the time he keeps his feelings to himself, focusing on getting information out of his peers. Either that, or he straight up deflects and muddies the waters intentionally to cause confusion.His perfect memory helps with creating bonds with people and convincing them he cares with recalling the tiniest detail of what they shared, but he has a hard time truly connecting emotionally with anyone.
Motives / Goals / Misc
Lust for Life.
Sev is not quite evil, but doesn't often do things out of the kindness of his heart. There is something within him that makes him take on tasks that end up helping others, a sort of energy and need for adventure. He always gets busy with something.
☼
Entertainment.
He will seek to find entertainment in the things he does, even if that means putting himself in danger, sabotaging his own plants, instigating, or even fooling/lying to people.
☼
Perfect Memory.
He uses it to its full advantage, learning things all the time, ever since he was a few years old.
Sev remembers things as he saw them, crystal clear as if they happened moments ago. It proves to be an incredible tool for learning new things and becoming skilled faster than average people.
It's his shield and his weapon.
☼
Lack of Empathy.
Severian struggles to relate to how others feel, relying on mimicking the way they react and fake pity, mercy, love. He can form meaningful relationships with people, yet something is always missing. To those who aren't bothered by it, he can be the perfect companion as he is very lively, uplifting and useful. With no emotions to cloud his judgement or thinking, he feels the exact same every day and is one of the most consistent and reliable people he knows.
☼
Overachiever.
His is a restless soul, ever seeking to become more and surpass his current condition. He passionately pursues power and takes on greater challenges without a hint of hesitation.
If there is something he -can- do, then best believe he will, even out of sheer stubbornness.
There are no things he is bad at, only things he hasn't practiced yet.
