Fanon:Types of Depravity

The information in this article is not canon but fan-made.

Just fun little brainstorming about character's personalities being
coincidentally similar. I just feel like Al-thamen would start
categorizing this stuff eventually to figure out how to best use their
resources. If anyone feels like a cannon character is in a category that
 they shouldn't be in, feel free to move them. I don't really understand
 Wahid enough to put him into one, so feel free to do with him as you
please.

## The Eccentrics:

Affinities most likely to fall within this category: Water, wind, life

They're the most outgoing ones. Whether they were always unhinged, or repressed until freeing themselves in their fall, they're the outgoing sadists with an adoration for battle. They tend to be wrapped up in themselves with few feelings of empathy and guilt towards other people, especially if they're their own actions.

Despite this, they have a strong set of "morals", which they break consistently, but have no problem harming others for going outside of their self-perceived "right and wrong". Either that, or they could have no morals at all - it varies from person to person. They're also the most likely to have very brutal fetishes.

They generally fall into depravity for the sake of power, or from severe trauma or abuse suffered early in life. On the off-chance they form a bond with a person, they will pour their loyalty into them like there is no tomorrow. Eccentrics and Manipulators get along surprisingly well - the Manipulators find the Eccentrics so entertaining and difficult to reign in that they begin to see them as human, and the Eccentrics enjoy having someone who will hold them back but also help quench their thirst for mass destruction. Some Eccentrics even unconsciously find themselves seeking out the presence of Manipulators, or vice versa.

* Judar
* Apollonius
* Zurmudd
* Byoln
* Jamil
* Fatima

## The Manipulators:

Affinities most likely to fall within this category: Strength, Light, Wind

When they look at people, they don't see humans, only tools. The chance that they can make close connections is the second slimmest, only to the Loners, but it's entirely based on how far they've gone down the rabbit hole. If they had close connections prior to falling into
depravity, they will either,

A) Completely abandon them altogether, or

B) Become very possessive, though the amount varies from person to person.

They generally fall into depravity due to burdens becoming too big to handle on their own, but not having the trust/not wanting to burden others.

Manipulators tend to focus on the small details so much they don't
see the bigger picture and obvious, glaring holes, leading to them being
quite blind to the simplest of solutions that could put a stop to
whatever evil reign they have going.

They would be the most likely to go all-out yandere if they ever fell in "love", next to the Eccentrics and Miserables.

Manipulators and Eccentrics get along very well.

Cannon characters that fit into this class:

* Arba
* Falan (I'm really iffy about her placement)
* Sinbad (He's half-fallen, it counts)
* Hakuryuu
* Kassim
* Alibaba during those five seconds he was fallen in the anime

## The Loners:

Affinities most likely to fall within this category: Wind, Strength, Water, and Lightning

The Loners are exactly how they sound. They prefer to work alone, and
generally fall into depravity after being betrayed or losing someone they dearly loved, or if their general empathy and care for others lead to them neglecting their own feelings. They normally feel apathy towards other people.

It is possible for them to form close relations if forced to, but they are by far the hardest to make friends with. Despite this, they can show rare forms of empathy disguised as pity if they find someone who has gone through something similar to them.

Cannon characters who fit this category:

* Ithnan
* Markkio (iffy about his placement too, move him if desired)

## The Miserables:

Affinities most likely to fall within this category: Sound, Heat, Life, Lighting

The Miserables are those who are incredibly depressed and suicidal.
They tend to be hot-tempered and brutal, or just so sad they can't get out of bed, though these amounts vary from person to person, and are never the same for each one. On rare occurrences, they could even be very empathetic and loving towards family members and close loved ones.

They may even feel guilty for killing or hurting people, leading them to continue down the spiral of self-hatred, leading to them lashing out at others. They often turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as alcohol and drugs.

On the rare occurrence they build connections with a person, whether it be a loved one, parental figure, or even their own child, they will have that person's best interests at mind at all times. They will constantly feel guilty for weighing them down with their pathetic existence, but will be so dependent on them and addicted to them that they will want to be around them at all times. They are normally very affection starved.
They're actually commonly mistaken for Loners, Eccentrics, and

Manipulators, and are thus considered the rarest class. This is simply due to the differing coping mechanisms in each person.

Cannon characters that fit within this class:

* Dunya Musta'sim (mistaken for Eccentric)
* If Kassim's father fell into depravity, he would be here
