NEEDS::
- Those to protect and care for, like cubs.
- Those to share further intimacy with.
- Those who hate him. That's always fun.
- Enemies of him and the Cromwell family.
LIKES::
- Magic. Charms, in particular. More mischievous than any hex, a charm can be applied in many different ways.
- Scratching and rubbing his stomach. Its a passive action he does much like how one scratches or rubs the back of their neck when idle. This is always a time where either his shirt is lifted or off and he is soothing.
- Hugs. Upon first seeing him, he doesn't seem like much of a hugger, but he is frequently slipping his arm around someone to pull them in close to him, mostly for comfort or a simple show of affection. He has a variety of hugs as well, from the gentler, snug embrace to the big, warm grasp of a bear hug.
- Humor, especially in flirting. He's all for amusement and a good chuckle and if he's not amused, then he isn't really interested.
- Kinder, gentler people tend to stir a protective instinct inside of him. He is already quite protective of his family as they are the closest of all people to him, but the meek and the innocent are often shielded within his embrace and treated very affectionately.
- His students. He treats them like family, and the family status is the best place to be with Illiad.
- Cats. You can change his mind on anything if you give him a cat to coddle. If you're feeling brave, put on some cat ears, draw on your whiskers and pin on a tail. You'll probably get the same effect....Probably.
DISLIKES::
- The oppressors, the tyrants and the heartless people who harm those especially weaker than them. There's no thing brings him to anger quicker...other than harming his family, then shit gets real.
- Clothes. As cliche as it may seem to some, Illiad is truly not the biggest fan of clothes. He's often pulling on them and picking at them, but when he is alone and when its appropriate, he's quick to disrobe and become truly relaxed in what he calls his 'natural state'. If he can just get away with a comfortable pair of cotton sweatpants, then he can settle on that as well. The more constricting the clothing, however, the more irritated he becomes and he's never amused when he's irritated and stuffed in layers of clothing. Winter, you can imagine, is his most hated season.
- Same goes for shoes. All things must go.
- Any harm or threat brought to his family will immediately make an enemy out of him, and when you make an enemy of Illiad Cenric Cromwell, you make an enemy of the Cromwell family as a whole and they are a very passionate, lively bunch!
- He doesn't like when someone cries. His immediate response is to scoop that person up and whisk them away in search of the happiness they seemed to have lost. However, it doesn't mean he WILL do this. It depends on who you are, how well he knows you and whether you are on his good side or not. As there are very specific ways to get on his bad side, you'll know where you stand.
PERSONALITY::
Demeanor: ESTP - The Doer (read more here)
Archetype: Penitent.
Upon meeting Illiad, he dazzles you with a warm, charming smile, subtle intelligence, and wit. Getting to know him is like gaining a very protective older brother who is all but willing to lay the entire world at your feet. He is caring and considerate, kind but just (though this doesn't always apply to his humor). He often considers those in need and is quick to come to the aid of those weaker, much like an older brother to the aid of his beloved younger sibling. He is warm, humorous, casual and can also be quite frank.
On the other side, when scorned, he can be quite cold and calculating when crossed and made an enemy of. Both trained and natural, he often resorts to battle tactics when he feels he's been challenged with a significant threat upon his loved ones, especially his family. He will meticulously destroy an opponent in a ruthless and relentless fashion because one you have crossed that line and you have been deemed the enemy, he has no sympathy for you what so ever. You are something to be disposed of and immediately, however, that is just the extreme. Smaller rivalries are common where he may one up his rival back and forth like a game of chess.[/ul]
