He/Him - Drake - Author

"*Unfortunately we are a nation of worriers, and in these hard times that worry can manifest itself as anger, rioting, and a general lack of respect for our fellow human beings. People have forgotten what it feels like to be happy. The techniques we teach place joy as a core energy, within bodies and minds. Imagine a world where people smile at one another, and it becomes the norm! We want to turn worriers, into warriors of joy.*”

- Miles Cedars, Smile. Always Part 1 of 4

*Think of these thoughts as limitless light*

*Exposing closing circuitry of fright*

*Think of each moment holding this breath*

*As death minute in decimal*

Personality
**Post-Correction**

* An eccentric fellow who immediately seems off as soon as you meet him
* Strangely emotionless (for the lack of a better word) for an advocate due to only being halfway corrected, he isn’t bouncing off the walls or constantly laughing, he always seems calm
* Extroverted, he isn’t necessarily all up-in-your-face and begging for attention, but he does enjoy the company of others. He isn’t afraid to ask or answer questions, really easy to talk to and can keep conversations going for awhile
* Has never shown himself to be violent, he will try to take the calmest way out of a troublesome situation (unless the Ministry has anything to say about it)
* Optimistic, always looking at the silver lining in a storm cloud
* Enjoys writing a lot and does it in his free-time. He normally writes about the happy “near-future” and about the successes and history of the Ministry, but he occasionally dabbles in fantasy and realistic-fiction like he used to before he became an advocate
* Obsessed with the idea of making everyone happy and idolizes the Ministry. It can come off as just simply wanting everyone he meets to feel good and looking up to someone he likes but it really goes down deep into disturbing territory when you get to the bottom of it
* Obedient, will do as he’s told without question. If the Ministry tells him to kill or hunt down somebody, he will do it
* Will defend his beliefs until the end of time and will try to force them on others if they don’t agree with them. He doesn’t become hostile and starts yelling or anything, it’s more like: “So you don’t agree with me? Oh, that’s okay! But think about it-“
* Can come off as “slow” but is actually fairly intelligent. Picks up on social cues easily, unlike most other smiling advocates, and has shown himself to be rather manipulative at times
* Knows a strange amount of science/psychology for a guy who was originally just a fiction writer. It was basically inserted into his mind over the years through the various hypnosis treatments he has went through
* When faced with any sort of hate he will simply nod and shrug it off, “I can’t change your opinions”. However, depending on what was said, he would most likely forcefully correct the offender later (very common in situations where anti-advocates express their views in front of him)
* Believes everyone getting Marmalized is “for the best” and firmly believes that a timeline without the Ministry would be chaos
* Very tidy, hates messes and cannot focus in an untidy living space. Sometimes will spend hours organizing his home until everything is in order. Is something some around and messes his cleaning up he won’t lash out, but would start right back at the beginning and not stop until everything was like it was before
* Doesn’t complain at all, no matter how grueling of a task you force him to do he’ll always do it with a smile
* A very agreeable dragon, ignoring the manipulation and strange obsessions. When he’s with fellow Ministry members he is always pleasant to talk with, if you ask him about his writing he will go on about the recent world he created and how the characters are being developed.
* A good listener, will listen intently to someone no matter who they are or what they’re talking about, and always has something to say in return. He would never just reply with a “mmhmm” or a “yeah”
* Always polite to everyone he meets, even while trying to implant the idea of getting Corrected in somebody’s mind he always does it without suggesting they’re an idiot or otherwise just being aggressive or overbearing in general
* Cedars whole goal is to make people feel secure and welcome, he doesn’t see it as “luring them in a false sense of security” as he genuinely feels like he’s doing the right thing. He wants everyone to be safe and happy, even if them being happy means they have to go through torture first. He doesn’t even believe/notice that he’s manipulating others
* Follows the “forget and forgive” rule when it comes to non-Ministry related grudges. He has never held anything against anyone and very easily forgives others

**Pre-Correction**

* Before his Correction he was a hot mess, to say the least
* He was a quiet and reserved dragon, often pouring his emotions into his stories instead of actually expressing them
* Outside of book conventions/signings he didn’t really interact with anybody, and even then seeing him at an event like those was very rare
* He had lost contact with all of his friends and honestly didn’t really feel like talking to anybody anyways
* He struggled with depression (caused by genetics). Frequent feelings of sadness, guilt, loss of interest, all that good stuff (will go in more detail about this in his history, please tell me if it misrepresent it)
* Easily irritable, often snapped at others when they said or did something he didn’t like
* Held grudges for a long time, if you did something to him five years ago Cedars probably still hates you
* Before he became a fairly popular author (he wasn’t like, Rick Riordan popular lol) he was a pretty happy guy. More extroverted and open, still talked to he friends n such.
* After he became famous his life started to decline though, hateful comments on his work demotivated him and when his depression started it just got worse. He became bitter and cut himself off from those he loved
* De-motivated easily, wanted praise for his work and when he didn’t get that he didn’t want to work on it anymore
* Very stubborn, his friends tried to cheer him up and help him get back on his feet but he refused
* Was very passionate about his writing when he started and loved doing it for a long time
* Very creative, was skilled in coming up with fictional worlds, characters, and creatures
* He did writing more for himself than he did for others. It was something he just enjoyed doing, he wanted recognition from more dragons than just his friends so he decided to publish his works. However, he became more dependent on the audience later on, trying his best to please them and get the positive attention he always wanted
* He hated himself a lot, he wanted to go back to being the carefree artist he was before but it was *so hard* to try and change himself. Lots of self-loathing
* Quick to make assumptions and was often rather illogical, hated going out in public just to see people “giving *him* weird looks”. They obviously weren’t but he was so paranoid and determined for people to see him as a good author and a nice guy he just freaked out whenever he saw somebody do something that could possibly mean that they thought he was weird
* Self-destructive, often kept himself up at night, desperately trying to get himself to write. Occasionally he would hurt himself (often by slamming his head against a wall or hitting himself, never did anything that could leave scars) or trash his living area out of pure frustration at himself

*Father, your honor, may I explain?*

*My brain has claimed its glory over me*

*I've a good heart albeit insane*

*Condemn him to the infirmary*
