Three of Ainoko's weaknesses are...

1. Bunnies, Hares, Rabbits
2. Cubs
3. Large crowds

Are these things Ainoko is scared of, or is drawn to irresistably?

Bunnies make him extremely submissive (yes he is drawn to them)

Cubs can put Ainoko into a protective state of mind, defending them at all costs, even at the expense of people and protery

Ainoko feels and is vulnerable in large crowds as he feels like a trapped animal in them

1. Celestina is really susceptible to the cold, and she can easily die of exposure compared to a human. Unlike humans, she has a lung system that consists of numerous sacs that aide in flight. Cold air gets into them and can rapidly drop her body temperature or prolonged exposure can lead to a fatal case of pneumonia.
2. She's very trusting. To the point where it can bite her in the butt.
3. Blind faith.

I've always really liked cold weaknesses. Means characters are susceptible for like a good half of the year. Must be dreadful! Or wear really warm clothes.

To her benefit, her people tend to live in warmer climates. It doesn't get very cold for them.

Marlina is scared of:

1. spiders
2. being alone
3. she cant resist shy guys

Lauren is generally hesitant to kill. Not that she can't, but she dislikes having blood on her hands. As such if there is a way for her to end a conflict without lethal force she'll take it, but it at times can backfire.

She is romantically linked to Chris, and as such finds herself wavering when his safety is at risk. She trusts him to take care of himself, but she would hesitate if his life was the cost of success.

Lauren does not know who her birth parents are. As an adopted child, she only knew the woman who raised her. She sometimes wonders what they were like or who they were, but she knows that her adoptive mother taught her all of her values.

My biggest weakness is cold. I really hate being cold. Just completely shuts me down!

The next biggest weakness is other peoples dishes. Like seriously, things other people have eaten off of is super gross. Put your dishes away because I won't touch them :c

And finally, TV, seriously I fucking hate 90% of the stuff on TV and refuse to be in a room when the TV is on.

These refer for the most part to my Demon character, Asherphadon.
They (clearly) do not apply to me. Ever. At all.

1. Arrogance. Many of my characters have this as a major flaw, where their arrogance and pride interfere with accomplishing goals, especially social ones.
2. Boredom. Most of the problems he gets into he gets into because he's bored and jaded and wants to do something that will amuse him, even if temporarily. It is a massive flaw and causes him and others no end of grief.
3. Anger. He has a short temper that he lets build up to explosive levels, or roll up momentum. He may look calm on the outside, but internally he's making a list of all the petty slights and inconveniences people 'put him through'. When he reaches critical levels with a person or situation, it can appear sudden and without much reason, but he's been stewing over this stuff for ages.

He's not a nice character.

1. Blindness
2. Small stature
3. A lack of assertiveness, occasional shyness

1. Marl is still living in the shadow of his deceased wife. Not a day goes by that he is not tormented by the memories of 'better times' when he was, perhaps a more heartless paid killer, but also happy with his beloved who shared in his profession.

2. As a result of his sorrows, he's beset with crippling alcoholism. Though having attempted to quit drinking several times, working as a bartender doesn't exactly make it easy...

3. Despite being tank-like, it requires a lot of energy to fuel his arms and special abilities. He has to consume a LOT of food and convert it to bio-energy fairly quickly. Realistically, there is just no way for a man to eat that amount of sheer volume-- so he's always lethargic and seemingly exhausted.

I appreciate seeing someone who actually gives their characters personal obstacles to overcome. I personally have a hard time connecting to peoples' characters when they have no flaws- I just don't see story or character in that to discover, so it feels like the connection has no depth. Then again there's probably a whole slew of conversations to be had about why people might not give their characters weaknesses and why some people give them very crippling ones. Thanks for sharing. :)

It'd be a conversation I wouldn't mind having sometime. I discussions about stuff like this.
