## Personality

### Likes:

⋆ Peace

⋆ Comfort

⋆ Socializing

### Dislikes:

⋆ His magical ability

⋆ The fact that he's in Avalia. He does not think he was the right guy picked for this.

⋆ Awkward silences

### Fears:

⋆ Large wild creatures

⋆ Being abandoned in Avalia

⋆ Never returning home

### Personality:

When it comes to interactions with others, Darius is open, but perhaps too open at times. He'll ask the questions that aren't necessarily appropriate, but levels that with his transparency. His honesty can be seen as the best and possibly the worst quality. Darius is an advocate for working and earning his keep, but also thinks it's good to give to those that may be at a disadvantage.

Darius' dramatic nature does little to help him in stressful situations. Sure, he'll get through whatever he has to, but he will complain the whole way through to let everyone know just how much he hates it. When nervous, Darius finds it best to talk his way through things, either by building up his own confidence or talking through the process.

Darius is no mathematical genius or mastermind, but he has common sense on his side with a mix of some interesting experiences. Charisma is his game. He comes off as being slightly obnoxious, but he's entertaining and actually gives others enough attention to show he actually cares. As far as humor, Darius attempts during melancholy times. He is not a comedian, at least not intentionally. As far as energy goes, this is probably his strongest attribute. One may wonder where this guy has the energy to talk, scream in terror, exclaim at every foreign thing to him, and still move about.

## Background

### History:

Darius was the second child, second string, second fiddle, second EVERYTHING to his older brother John. It wasn't completely bad though, Darius didn't enjoy the attention of his parents and family. It allowed him to focus on things he wanted to do rather than being John who did what everyone else wanted him to.

John grew up being the best, and Darius grew up being his shadow. Darius lived a bit more freely with limited pressure on his career path and life goals, but he stumbled through life like a drunk trying to get to bed after a long night out.

When John passed, Darius learned John was far larger than life than he thought. Seeing all who showed up to say great things about him made Darius proud. The man had accomplished a lot in his short life, while Darius flew by the seat of his pants. Just when Darius settled on getting his life together, poof! Avalia.
