 * '''Temperament:''' Nurturing. Ferociously loving. It doesn't take much for him to feel pure and genuine love for a person. He is forgiving, and he is kind. If he is not being kind, he is apologetic. He has a good sense of humor about things. He is outrageously gentle and thoughtful and strives to embody the essence of unconditional love, and also to embody the simpler meaning of his name "Ardent Passion." So he loves people and things passionately. Whether someone accepts it as truth or not, you can guarantee that he will never lie about anything that matters. It's unlikely he'd lie about small things either. He might hold something back on his own time until he's ready, and he might even brush it off a little bit if he's not ready. But if someone were to ask, he would be honest about his feelings. Including just saying he wasn't directly comfortable expressing his feelings on something yet. Because he sees no benefit to lying. He is extremely honest and communicative either on his own or with very easy prompting if he seems a little hesitant.
 * '''Values:''' Love, compassion, gratitude, family/friendship, kindness, honesty, humor, generosity, and forgiveness. He does not expect everyone to share these values in the way he holds them, but he will always try to encompass those things and lead by example.
-* '''Orientation:''' When he needs a quick answer about it, he can be described as ''Super Gay.'' For him that means romantically and physically he prefers men/masculine people and people who don't adhere strictly to a binary. He himself is nonconforming on a few levels, it's easy to find that attractive in others with both identity and style. It has always been this way, both on and off Aurelia. But if he were to describe himself without worrying about it he'd say he's "open." Because he does not bind himself to his preferences. He's open to any and all love, and unexpected attractions if they occur. But it's still more accurate to say "gay" than it is to use any other identifier. Because his open-ended nature is more for outliers as opposed to constant attractions to everyone in that capacity.
+* '''Orientation:''' The answer he tells people when they ask is that he's "Super Gay." He likes men/masculine people, and those who do not adhere to a binary whether in identity or style. (He's somewhat nonconforming himself, and it's easy to find it attractive in others.) It has always been this way both on and off Aurelia. But if he were just to express it without confusion, he'd just say he's "Full of love". It's still true to say his romantic and physical preferences are what they've always been. But he's never bound himself to those preferences, and experiences a very nuanced set of attractions as a result. He also doesn't place romantic connections above his platonic connections. He values them equally in different ways. As much as he would love a boyfriend, or in his words a "bondmate", he would also love a solid best friend and/or platonic life partner just as much. Because he's full of love.
 * '''Spiritual views:''' He is a strong spiritual believer in The Great Pho'nix. A being he and most Aurelians consider a being made of warmth, passion, creation, and love in all She creates. He feels a strong connection to nature, the elements of air and fire, the sun, and the stars above. He has a necklace carved in the shape of a flame made out of a sunstone gem from Earth. It reminded him of his connection to The Pho'nix even so far from home. Like a fire of passion. At the end of the year 2398 he went through Borg Assimilation trauma. Prior to that event, he didn't believe in a devil at all. But he equates the Borg as Devil-adjacent. The "antithesis of everything he believes in". And it has left him with an odd subtle spiritual shift. Previous to that happening, he believed ''everything'' had second chances. The Borg became an exception. Not the people who were turned into drones, but whatever originated the Borg or continues to see fit that they aren't destroyed. It also means he's now more open to the concept that not everything is so deserving of unconditional love. Right now, it's only the Borg he feels it toward. But an exception leaves openings for other exceptions...
 * '''Known Languages:''' Fluent in: Tropical and Formal Aurelian dialects, plus two other Aurelian dialects, and Federation standard. Conversational in: Three more flock dialects, and Vulcan. Has very basic beginner's understanding of: Klingon and sign language.
