* '''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:''' Short answer is Super Gay and Polyamorous. He is romantically and physically attracted to men/masculine people, and people who do not adhere strictly to a binary whether in gender identity or just a non-conformist style. It has been this way on and off Aurelia. But if he thought it wouldn't confuse people to say it, he'd actually just identify himself as "Full of love". His attractions and preferences remain what they've always been, he's just never bound himself strictly to those preferences and experiences a very nuanced set of attractions at times because of it. He also doesn't place romantic love above his platonic connections. He would hold equally deep love and affection for boyfriends or "bondmates" as he would close best friends, or platonic life partners. He would hold all of those affections at once, and would probably struggle if someone asked him to put his love exclusively into just them. He's never been in a relationship, it's just never worked out despite his best efforts. But he knows very much that he's not someone who loves monogamously, and he'd say as much if something started developing.

But he actually identifies as "Full of love". His attractions and preferences remain what they've always been, he's just never bound himself strictly to those preferences and experiences a very nuanced set of attractions at times because of it. It becomes especially nuanced when it involves the polyamorous element. Because that could include romantic connections, but also queer-platonic life partner type bonds that aren't romantic, just deeper than purely friendship. He loves deeply, and he loves many. It's not to say he couldn't end up with just one person. He doesn't actively seek out multiple partners. But he would not pretend to believe in the concept a "One and Only" partnership if bonds ended up forming between himself and another, or multiple others. This is something he'd be very communicative and upfront about with anyone he was more than just friends with.
* '''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...
