* '''Vocal tics:''' Prone to making clicking sounds. The clicks increase when he can't remember a word in the language he's speaking. He loves the word "Marvelous!" And says it often. A lot of his sentences have the filler sound, "ah" in the middle of them. And it's pretty common for him to end a sentence with a friendly, "no?" or "yes?" depending on the sentence. His laughter is generally self-contained, involves more of a physical beak clicking or a soft-humored snort. Unless you can get him ''really'' drunk, or busting up in hysterics. | * '''Vocal tics:''' Prone to making clicking sounds.

** | ** "Marvelous!" It's not always exclaimed, but often it is. There are equivalent words and phrases in his native Aurelian that mean marvelous, but for whatever reason, he decided the Standard word for it was his favorite version of it. He will say things are going marvelously, or that he thinks someone is marvelous. Because he thinks things are truly marvelous! | ||
** Dekas loves pretty much everyone. It's not inherently romantic love, it is just love. If he calls someone his friend, he means that. Even if they've only known him an hour. If he says he loves them or loves something about them, he means that, too. He just loves, and it is as true and unconditional as it can be. He's not naive enough to keep those who would harm him around, but his love would not fade. This does leave him prone to being somewhat emotionally personal with people, and it does leave him open to being hurt more if things go wrong. But he truly believes it is better to care and love at the risk of hurt than it is to pretend he feels less. | ** Dekas loves pretty much everyone. It's not inherently romantic love, it is just love.

** Extremely restless when he has free time and struggles to sleep as well as he'd like due to trauma. It's a work in progress to deal with it. | ** Extremely restless when he has free time and struggles to sleep as well as he'd like due to trauma. It's a work in progress to deal with it. | ||
** He's difficult to truly offend for any significant length of time. You could be outright mean to him and while it might hurt, or he might need some space to deal with his emotions, he's so forgiving and willing to give people the benefit of the doubt that he often tries to take such things more as constructive criticisms rather than insults. Sometimes he'll take it as something that he can agree to disagree on. He also has a sense of humor so if it's an insensitive thing, he can find a way to correct it or laugh it off. He might not always fully enjoy someone if they're toxic to him, but trying to get him to actively ''dislike'' them is almost guaranteed to fail on impact. Callous, icy exteriors, are no match for his super cheery sunshine personality. He's powerful. He might not convert anyone into a fan, but they also won't find him down on their level in any permanent way | ** He's difficult to truly offend for any significant length of time.

** He takes secret delight in being the tallest of the senior staff. Because he is the shortest of his Aurelian family, and it's nice to feel tall sometimes. | ** He takes secret delight in being the tallest of the senior staff.
