**'''Specific reading favorites:''' He really likes a good adventure story. Sometimes a mystery or even a horror novel of some sort. On the low-key he does enjoy trashy romance sometimes, he finds them a little funny, but you won't usually get him to admit to that one up front. This goes for both normal books, and holonovels alike. | **'''Specific reading favorites:''' He really likes a good adventure story. Sometimes a mystery or even a horror novel of some sort.

*'''Misc. skills:''' Puns. He can, and often will, make a pun on the fly. Also, he is fluent in English and ASL having grown up in a family that was primarily Deaf and hard of hearing. It has also lead him to be decently alright at reading people's body language at times, seeing as body language is part of the grammar of signing. He can also draw alright, though he's not professional in any capacity. But he has enough skill to be considered not bad at it. | *'''Misc. skills:''' Puns.

*'''Misc. | *'''Misc. things:''' He has synesthesia. He associates musical sounds with colors, which is part of what makes him quite good at music because he can associate those sounds and pitches with colors to help keep him on pitch, key, and notes. | ||

*He's extremely expressive, and a little eccentric in the way that he moves when speaking. Especially when nervous. Uses his hands a lot for emphasis. He also has restless hands so he's often moving them in little subtle ways if he's not using them to speak. He's also a pretty emotional person, and depending on the emotion it can become more or less eccentric. | |||
*There are times when he doesn't really have coherent words for feelings, and he will instead use incoherent noises as quick fill to express what he's trying to get at. It's okay if you don't get it. He doesn't either or he'd have used words. He also has a habit of nervous stammering when it's really bad. | |||
*The way that he socializes with people often differs from situation to situation. There are times when he's quite smooth. Usually in situations that are directly fun for him. And other times where he very much will ramble your ear off. Possibly nervous, possibly excited. Maybe both. Sometimes how he's talking is in between kinda smooth and ridiculously awkward. He's probably not sure what he's feeling in those moments. | |||
*He's not all that afraid of medical doctors, but he is very anxious of therapists and counselors to a certain, odd extent. Part of it is his mom being one. Part of it other reasons not really related to the therapy or counseling in itself, and more the vulnerable nature of it. He'll still attempt to talk to them with honesty. But in the process he'll fidget, ramble, stammer, struggle to find proper words, other things. He tends toward high stress while the talking is happening, but afterwards usually feels either better, or at least better prepared to deal with himself. But the process is stressful and a little embarrassing for him because he's already eccentric without the weird emotional vulnerability adding to it as far as he's concerned. At least right now. It's even less likely he'll go into any real amount of detail about many things with people outside of that, though. Far more likely to offer support, or a smile, a joke, if it isn't positive. And if he tries to actually, genuinely open up, embarrassing eccentricities and all, consider yourself very trustworthy. Because that's what he feels about it. | |||
In essence, he can be quite different with how he's acting and reacting to the things around him depending on several factors. Environment, stress levels, fun levels, mental stimulation, socialization and how people are reacting to him personally. Not unrecognizably different, but he's not always going to react as predictably to things depending on the details and context of the experience. | |||
