Likes:
♪ Food | From cultural to foreign dishes, if it tastes good he'll eat it without a second thought. He doesn't turn down food offered to him even if he dislikes it, but he will complain. He is apt to making easily prepared food and sharing it with others, especially if it's something he's fond of. Confections are particularly favoured because of his sweet tooth.
♪ Games | With an inbred playfulness, he is disposed to fooling around whether it's appropriate or not. Video games, sports, childish mind games, he'll find amusement in almost anything if he's given the chance. He prefers to play with others but will amuse himself however he can when alone.
♪ Art | Visual and auditory, having been surrounded by various types of art as he was growing up, he has come to appreciate all forms of art. From obvious styles to pieces he doesn't understand, he can see charm in almost everything – he even considers nature to be a form of art, being very fond of flora and fauna as well. In his free time he will sometimes paint, visit an art gallery, or listen to music.
♪ Music | He is particularly fond of music. This is because he frequently seeks comfort in the melodies as they are the only thing capable of drowning out the silence of being alone, aside from the company of others. When he cannot play music he will sing until his throat hurts or until he finds another way to fill the silence.
♪ Sleep | Previously the only way to escape work or responsibilities, he is now very fond of sleep. Sometimes he sleeps just for the sake of dreaming though he can never remember what his dreams were about, just that they put him in a good mood. He will often take naps in the afternoon or when he is bored, but he will be very cranky when awakened.
♪ Jokes | No matter what kind of joke or how many people are laughing, he will laugh. The funnier a person's jokes the more affectionate he feels towards them, because anyone who can make him laugh will be considered his new best friend. Despite liking jokes as much as he does, he has no idea how to tell jokes so he leaves it to the 'professionals'.
♪ Gifts | Not one to be picky with respect to what people give him, though he will feel guilty if given something expensive, even if he receives a simple flower he'll become immensely happy. When something given to him as a genuine gift, he will consider it something precious and keep it.
Dislikes:
☣ Hard work | Preferring to take things easy and enjoy his time, he would rather not exert himself and often becomes irritable when he does. This often causes his work time to become break time.
☣ Lies | Having been raised with considerable morals he has no patience for lies. When he finds out he's being lied to, he becomes incredibly angry and is likely to dislocate the liar's jaw.
☣ All-nighters | Sleep is something short of being his lover and he will hold a grudge against who or whatever deprives him of it.
☣ Losing | While he likes games, he is a sore loser. He'll play it off at first but will eventually become irritated and begin throwing things if his losing streak continues.
☣ Sweltry weather | His way of rebelling against the sun trying to singe him is stripping down. The hotter it is, the more clothes he'll take off – he considers this perfectly normal and will often ask others why they are not doing the same.
☣ Being sick | Headaches, body pains, fevers, medicine, he hates the whole package. When he gets sick he usually remains in bed swathed in blankets and a sour mood.
☣ Bugs | Anything that crawls, wriggles or buzzes is enough to have him swinging objects around and running from one room to the next. If there are other people in the area he will use them as a form of protection.
Quirks:
❧ If he spends enough time with a person he will unintentionally behave like them from time to time, going so far as to imitate speech habits or quirks. He does this affectionately but it often comes across as rude.
❧ When using a mop or a broom, after five to fifteen minutes, he will start to sing and dance no matter who is around to witness it, though he will stop after being scolded enough or making a mess of things.
❧ He's quite religious, though he doesn't go to church often. He almost has a set schedule for praying, but will do it repeatedly when he's worried.
❧ He believes in all sorts of lore and myths. Vampires, witches, ghouls, demi-gods, aliens, he believes in all of it, he dislikes all of it as well.
❧ He's touchy-feely and likes to play with other people, be it their hair, hands, or belongings.
❧ The curl on the left side of his head is beyond the control of hair products. If it is touched, he will whine incessantly.
❧ Though he likes all kinds of music, he cannot play any instruments because he never considered learning how to.
❧ If someone sneaks up on him he will scream and run away without a second thought though, strangely enough, he is fond of surprises.
Fears:
☠ Hate | He doesn't want to be hated, especially not by someone he likes. This applies to others as well, he will more than likely try to befriend a lonely person than someone who has a lot of company. Sometimes he gets insecure for irrational reasons, which leads to him being extremely clingy and fretful.
☠ Death | While he's afraid of dying himself, he's really afraid of others' deaths. It's because he doesn't know what will happen to them after they die.
☠ Isolation | He doesn't want to be left alone. Even if the only person with him is someone who dislikes him, he would prefer their company to loneliness - all the silence and empty space gets to him.
☠ Uselessness | He's aware that his frivolous habits make him appear useless, but he doesn't want to be useless. Useless things are often left to their demise; he doesn't want that, he wants at least one person to need him.
Personality:
❧ Preferring a cushy sort of life style, Feliciano often works at his own pace. Deadlines of all kinds are reasonably flexible and demands are met with in due time – his time. It's not that he blatantly disregards the requests of others, rather he tends to compromise without consultation when the situation becomes stressful. It's not uncommon for others to snap at him when he shows up a few hours or days late and in return he smilingly spares them any excuses he may have thought up on his way. He honestly thinks everything will be fine as long as the accomplish what they set out to do, he never understood the importance of deadlines.
❧ He never understood the importance of rules either – well, most rules. Appreciating the 'play nice' rules is something he does almost daily, especially since he can inadvertently get on others' nerves. However, from rules to formulae and set ways for doing tasks are doctrines he intentionally overlooks on the basis of wanting to enjoy himself. If he can get away with it, he'll shirk his obligations in lieu of taking a nap elsewhere or chatting up an entertaining companion, especially if what he has to do is something he has no interest in.
❧ With a habit of doing things his own way he can get work done in a timely manner, though it is a fairly rare occurrence. He will work at something until he is satisfied once he decides it is important, but he needs a great deal of motivation to even consider working hard. This industrious streak has its perks as the project is usually completed quickly but it also has a negative facet as he uses everything at his disposal to produce a desired result, but with many variations.
❧ A usually dreamy disposition often covers his habit of picking up people's quirks and expressions and memorising them. Sometimes he will consider certain expressions as warnings, stating that the other may be annoyed or sad, maybe even amused. He frequently relies on these signals but doesn't trust his memory much, leading him to ask a person outright about their state of mind.
❧ He may talk about many things that go over other people's heads, or come across as a bubble head but even he can tell when a person is heartsick. Often times he cannot deduce their reasons on his own, causing him to make the mistake of asking them point-blank about it. Usually he attempts to provide comfort but instead becomes despondent after a while and ends up sulking with them. Being very empathetic, simply overhearing another person's worries can cause him to become stressed out, causing any attempts at assistance to be useless. Naturally the opposite is true as well, so it is easy for him to celebrate with others, even if he is ignorant of the reason for celebrating.
❧ Overall he loves people, all kinds of people. Optimistic, depressive, grumpy or not, if there's a person around he will more than likely talk to them. Sometimes he gets nervous and halts the conversation, usually he talks about anything and everything. He doesn't know when to quit – if the topic shifts to something he doesn't know about he will use his creativity to go along with it, often confusing others with the liquid structure of his taradiddles for the sake of amusement.
❧ Despite working at his own pace and displaying a naturally spacey temperament, he tries to keep others satisfied and lift their spirits. He considers it his responsibility as long as he is able to wake up in a good mood. Often making little jokes and poking fun at others, he's an affectionate person who will give a stranger a hug if he thinks he can get away with it. Sometimes his intentions are misunderstood and he gets stuck with unfavourable consequences that he uselessly tries to wriggle out of. Not that he has ever gotten out of them before.
❧ With the unexpected habit of worrying about the future, he often tries focus on the present and remind himself how happy he and everyone else is and can be now. Generally, he is able to push this concern to the back of his mind and ends up wasting a considerable amount of time; marginally regretting his actions upon realisation. However he is capable of making up for it by putting more effort into his tasks than he usually would, though he only does this when he feels particularly guilty.
❧ Though he dislikes change, he dislikes living by a routine just as much. He tries to change things up to prevent himself from becoming bored – he may brush his teeth first one morning, sketch a portrait the next, or simply laze around in bed until midday. It doesn't matter what he has to do to stray from redundancy, even if he has to annoy that scary neighbour at five in the morning, he is willing to do it – but he isn't willing to deal with what may follow so he tends to refrain from involving others.
❧ However he loves feeling appreciated and being complimented by others, even if it's for something simple and easily overlooked. No matter how he receives it, conspicuous announcements or just a mumbled phrase, it leaves him walking on air. As a result, he behaves more affectionately with the person, it's his way of thanking them for boosting his mood.
❧ When it comes to him the line between adoration and affection is often blurred. All he knows is if he likes someone he'll give them a kiss on the cheek and if he dislikes someone he'll kick them in the shin. For all his affability, he dislikes being forced to do things he doesn't want to. His retaliation to being controlled is sometimes arguing but often times he'll just run away, either to complain to someone or to buy a snack to distract him from his souring mood.
❧ The closer he gets to people the more time he wants to spend with them. This can get annoying, especially since he tends to beg them to do increasingly frivolous things with him, but he can rarely help himself. As a result he is quick to take offence when his favourites are attacked and sometimes behaves uncharacteristically, usually demanding an apology or dragging them off elsewhere.
❧ He considers himself a very orderly person, and often keeps his work space spic-and-span, he even goes so far as to clean up the messes other people make if his mood is right. However, he is often annoyed when others clean up his messes, saying he placed his items like that so things would be easier to find. Truthfully, he can never find anything no matter how neat or messy his room gets, even if what he's looking for is laying conspicuously on his desk. When he is alone, he is fairly hopeless.
♕ DIDN'T MAKE SENSE NOT TO LIVE FOR FUN ♕
Roleplay Sample:
For all the time he had been here, Feliciano had yet to officially move into his dorm room. The items he had brought with him from Italy were still tucked away in their suitcases. Of course they would be, every time he even thought about the suitcases laying at the foot of his bed he turned away from their general area and distracted himself. The only items he unpacked were – a few cases of chalk pastels, some paints and a couple sketchbooks – items he considered easy to handle.
Perhaps it was time to unpack, shove his suitcases under the bed and fill up his part of the room. Feliciano paused in his actions and appraised his incomplete monochromatic sketch, idly scratching at the stick of lazuline chalk. He had always been a person to refrain from unnecessary change, especially if he liked the way things were by default; change may be life's only constant but Feliciano was content to ignore it as best as he could.
Today was a day for sketching, not unpacking suitcases. The more he thought that the more his eyes wandered; eventually the sketchbook and chalk pastel had been abandoned and the Italian sat cross-legged on the floor, glaring at the offensive suitcases. Honestly, why were they so set on being unpacked? They kept sending him mental signals, which were distracting and unappreciated.
This would be the only time he would face a problem, how hard could it be to unpack a few suitcases?
Slowly unzipping a suitcase and peeking into it, Feliciano wondered why he had packed so much in the first place. What little drive he had quickly dissipated into an exaggerated sob. The only thing he could bring himself to do upon opening the suitcase was press his face against the Bible his grandfather had given him and whine like a child. So what if unpacking was a simple matter? He just did not want to do it, damn it.
