Personality:

Right off the bat, Birch seems to be all kinds of done with everyone’s crap. He doesn’t take orders well if he must take them at all. He holds the firm belief that the more information anyone knows about you, the more power they have over you, so he won’t even willingly give his actual name let alone any other facts about himself. He’s stubborn and at times self-important. There are many days he dresses like an aristocrat, but only selectively acts like one. Grouchy. Short temper. Abrasive. Says what he thinks unless it doesn’t serve him well. Birch is perfectly able to be charming, especially if he needs to be for manipulation purposes. but no matter how dashing he might come off as, he can't keep up the charade forever and will end up back in his brash ways.

On a more positive note, Birch somehow he manages to pull people in as if his gravitational pull has a mind of its own. He is fierce and passionate in his feelings and beliefs and does not falter easily. A lot of emotions are hidden under aloofness or anger, but those that stick around might be able to lift that mask to see the true Birch beneath.

There’s another side of him that is more sadistic in nature. A darkness is in him that he doesn’t even try to fight most of the time. He might not always like it, and at times it might be inconvenient, but he’s accepted that it’s there. In fact, he sometimes indulges it in hopes of regaining his former glory. He'll sell his soul to the dark power if it means accomplishing his goals in the end. In the midst of battle, his personality edges on lunacy. It's one of the few times he'll allow such carefree laughter because his bloodthirst takes him over.




Likes:

⌖ Solitude: He’s not the type to avoid people altogether, but he keeps them at an arm’s length if he can. The fewer people to talk to, the fewer people can ask him annoying questions he doesn’t want to answer.
⌖ Fighting: Releasing pent up anger is healthy.
⌖ Smoking: Smoking is not healthy, but screw you and your ideals. What next? A bottle of good liquor is bad too?!
⌖ Tea: He loves a good cup of tea somewhere quiet. Interrupt at your own risk.


Dislikes:

⌖ Authority: He’s perfectly able to make his own decisions. Anyone having power over him is the worst.
⌖ Rabbits: Something about the long-eared creatures unnerves him. The hopping and swiftness and incessant pooping and breeding...
⌖ Humility: Most humble people are being fake about it.


Motivations:

⌖ Regaining Power: Because of a certain circumstance, he has lost access to the control and full use of his power.
⌖ Finding Freedom: Because of a certain circumstance, he feels like he no longer has the freedom to live as he pleases.
⌖ Superiority: To be able to assert his own status and strength in his own right might satisfy search for power.

Fears:

⌖ Being Controlled: Being stripped of his will freaks him out.
⌖ Fire: Massive amounts of fire will get his heart racing, but small ones like campfires only make him a little uncomfortable. It’s situational.
⌖ Revealing Secrets: His secrets give him security. Threaten that and Birch is on edge.
