Profile: Gusept's mindset is one of constant entertainment in some form. Whether it's games, personal building projects, flarping, or seeking some other entertainment, Gusept's mind is rarely completely at rest. He is a largely asocial troll, preferring to spend most nights at his hive or the surrounding forest, keeping himself entertained and not wanting to deal with the trouble of sharing or talking to other trolls if he can help it. While he doesn't go out of his way to go to social events, he does try to make more effort for people who he thinks would be interesting, and are willing to deal with some weirdness from him.
His favored hobbies include creating anything with his hands, including models, kits from various show's he's watched, and occasional renovations of his hive. In more social hobbies, he enjoys gaming in both the video and tabletop varieties, flarping, and sometimes just getting into the occasional fight for the adrenaline rush.
Though he has some groups that he plays with, many of them are only surface friendships, with only one or two members he talks to outside of coordinating meetups.
As a blueblood, imperial teachings have very much colored his view on both himself and other trolls, viewing castes far below him as expendable pests, and those above him as spoiled. He is willing to see certain trolls who he finds important as exceptions to the rule, rather than any kind of lesson on seeing their castes as people. Four Fronds' hunts have also reinforced this view, and while he finds the hunts that stray close to his hive annoying at times, they make for good entertainment, and remind him what happens if you go against the empire. As far as he's concerned, they brought whatever horrors they deal with on themselves.
In general, Gusept is stubborn, and while slow to respond emotionally, he feels intensely despite his colder exterior. He greatly values time spent with his friends, though even with them he will eventually run out of energy to give. His relationship with his lusus is largely mutually loving, but the two can butt heads on occasion, especially when it comes to his riskier preferences.
Strengths:
Enduring: It's tough to keep a blueblood down. Gusept's tolerance for pain and injury is impressive, even as a child. From a mental standpoint as well, he's able to handle rejection and loss well, and there's rarely an issue that will ruin his day, let alone keep him depressed for longer periods of time.
Self-Assured: If there's anything Gusept's not lacking in, it's confidence. In his abilities, attractiveness, or anything else, he's certain he's up to the task.
Quick Thinker: Gusept is more observant than he necessarily acts, and can quickly figure out how to make a plan work. In addition, he has a good mind for math, often preferring to do some in his head rather than go to the effort of write it down.
Flaws:
Insomniac: Gusept frequently goes without sleep for a night or two, and as a result, can be frustrating to talk to. He will often zone out if he can't get the energy to focus on a conversation, and will frequently go off on train-of-thought tangents that go nowhere and mean even less. This has also left him with a lingering sense of paranoia, often assuming trolls might be out to get him and causing him to lash out.
Brashole: Words like "shy" and "nice" are difficult to find in his dictionary. He says what is on his mind, and certainly doesn't seem to care how that affects people. While this can be almost enjoyable in small doses, it rarely is.
Thrill-seeker: Gusept hates being bored. And sometimes it's not enough to play games, he needs to go out, do something dangerous. Unfortunately for both himself and others, the biggest thrill he finds is fighting someone challenging.
Weapon: Axes, primarily twin handaxes, but hopes to use bigger weapons when he's older.
Appearance: In a word, Gusept often looks messy. Rumpled, day-old clothes, a shaggy, untamed mess on his head, and sometimes not even bothering to throw out a piece of clothing he's fond of even after it's gotten a hole or two. From varying amounts of time without proper sleep, there are also some bags developing under his eyes, making him look far more annoyed and disheveled. His expression is often one of annoyance or pointed apathy, though unintentionally.
Home: Gusept's hive is built in the thick of the forest near Four Fronds, towering and as close to a castle as one of his caste can achieve, at least in aesthetic. Though the exterior is quite fine, the interior is far messier and more chaotic, with half-finished projects lying around and messes left for days or even weeks at a time.
Lusus: Gusept is watched over by a horse named Sereem that towers over him, and most other trolls even in their older sweeps. She is fairly even-tempered in most interactions with Gusept, nurturing to a fault, but fiercely protective should she be brought near strangers or think he is in danger. Though she tries her best to teach Gusept compassion and patience he is, unfortunately, not willing to listen to her most of the time.
