PERSONALITY

..WHEN YOU FIRST MEET THEM: He's polite, brilliant even... slightly sarcastic but in an almost charming way... he doesn't care about you, though.

..AS YOU KNOW THEM BETTER(AND THEY DISLIKE YOU): he will keep being polite, but now his biting sarcasm and sense of humour will start being more evident and less charming. He will probably stop talking to you if possible, if not, he will definitely start caring about you. Not in a good way.

SOFT SPOT/VULNERABILITY: he likes back massages, but since he's paranoid, not at the point to make them become a soft spot.

DONE ANYTHING TO GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW: a lot of things, also he has a huge number of bounties on his head.. some of them just expired though, since no one seems to bother looking for him anymore, and the ones who did never came back...

HOW DOES HE REACT TO...

DANGER: will keep his cool and be ready to face anything coming.
SOMEONE THEY HATE WHO HAS A CRUSH ON THEM: will most probably threaten them in order to have them leave him alone. If he should fail, he could end up killing them... just to be sure...
PROPOSAL TO MARRY: he would be quite embarrassed and decline in the most polite way he can.
DEATH OF LOVED ONE: Loved one? Where? :°D Anyway, should his hypothetical loved one die, he would just keep her in his thoughts forever. If she died of violent death though, he would most probably look for revenge first.
INJURY: he would resist and keep fighting/travelling/doing whatever he was doing, until he finally has the possibility to medicate himself. He can be quite strong willed when it comes to survival :°D
SOMETHING IRRESISTABLY CUTE: he probably wouldn't even notice it...
LOSS OF HOURS OF WORK: he would spend some time trying to calm down and not crush something out of rage, then he would start again from the beginning.

GO SLOW VS JUMP INTO: avoid, if he can. He doesn't like to be involved in relationships since he knows they won't last more than one night.
