The Little Things...

[Lord Anglekos]

So. You've made your character profile, you've got it approved, and you're roleplaying across Althanas, and you're having a grand old time. Sure, you've got your character's fighting abilities and history down pat, and a general appearance that may or may not be subject to change every few minutes. But what about the little things? The little quirks and itches that make up your character? Have you thought about them?
Maybe you have, maybe you haven't. Nonetheless, I thought it would be interesting to figure all those little things out here in this thread. I came up with a few questions myself, but feel free to add on your own.

Right. I'll go first.

THE LITTLE THINGS ABOUT ERIC ANGLEKOS

Favorite Type of Music: Eric's often found himself listening to the sounds of an acoustic guitar on his travels, and is thinking of picking up how to play himself.
Favorite Food: Anything non-veggie. Can't stand veggies. But if he had to choose, he'd probably say "roasted wyvern".
Favorite Brand/Type of Clothing: Dark clothing that's tight to his body and doesn't get in the way. He hasn't really thought about it, but black shirts seem to be his style.
Sexuality: Straight, but easygoing enough to know if a man's attractive enough. Still...
Maritial Status: Single at the moment. He had a fiance' but she was killed.
Favorite Quote: "The only battle a warrior cannot lose is the one not fought."

Best Friend: Kechen, an old friend back on Saleria who helped him overthrow the king.
Favorite Word/Phrase: Ichigeki Hissatsu; a phrase from Akashima that means "one-hit kill".

Signature Attack/Move/Phrase: These days Eric tends to finish his battles by striking with all his strength, piercing through his opponent's defenses with help of his power and electric abilities.
Religion: Agnostic, really. He thinks there may be a God above, but until He/She/It comes down and says "Yo, I'm God he-bitch, do my bidding", he's not about to start praying.
Quirks, Ticks, Etc...: Eric has a habit of smiling alot, but that's about it. It usually sets people off guard.
Biggest Strength: He always commits himself to a task once he's started it and usually achieves it through sheer determination and unwillingness to give up.
Biggest Weakness: His lack of trust and doubt in people's intentions. While it may not be a weakness in terms of survival, in society it makes him a bit secluded and destroys him from the inside.
