PERSONALITY INFORMATION POSITIVE: Hardworking - Ric is very hard working to the point that he refuses to get distracted till he is done with whatever he was working on. That being said, it can somewhat be negative on his health considering he sometimes forgets to eat or sleep especially during times of increased inventing imagination in which he can sometimes lock himself up in his room for hours when working. Passive- Ulric isn't one to start a fight, and he has a very long fuse for most people. He's pretty easy to get along with, and even the most fiery of people scarcely anger him enough into retaliation. Logical- Ric is very thought out and tends to use his head before his heart. He thinks things over and isn't one to jump to conclusions on anything until he is absolutely sure about something. This goes into both his study life and his people life. That being said, despite being logical, he uses more positive logic than negative. He will almost always give someone the benefit of the doubt up until it is clear in one way or another. Careful- Though not quite caring, Ulric is careful enough to avoid hurting people's feelings. He knows when a situation is tense and therefore takes care in order to ensure it is dealt with properly. He doesn't like to have his emotions rile up his gal for something, and thus he plays it normally very carefully in order to remain logical in all circumstances. Knowledgeable- Ulric is knowledgeable when it comes to inventions, and he has a working mechanical sort of knowledge that allows him to build new things. He's quite imaginative on top of that and has rather high goals in live that keep him pretty focused. Honest- Ric is not one to lie on a daily basis. He doesn't go throwing his life's story out at people or all his reasons behind things, but he's not one to conceal them either. If you ask, he'll answer to the best of his ability in all situations. Sometimes what comes off as flattery is actually very honest observation, and in the exact opposite way, it can come off as mean. Ric doesn't have a filter at times to say the least of it. Independent- Ulric can take care of himself. He knows how to cook, clean, sew, and do other house hold things. He's oddly more skilled with a needle and thread than he is among other things and has a knack for fixing clothes. He has a patchwork blanket that he has been working on for years now out of old clothes that he could no longer patch up. NEGATIVE: Blunt- on the order of almost brutally so, Ulric doesn't conceal anything from people but can often come off as rather blunt and critical of others as a result. There isn't a filter between his brain and his mouth, and thus he says what he means in the most raw of forms. He honestly doesn't even care whether people think he's rude or not either considering he views it as better honesty to be straightforwards. Cynical- Ulric doesn't trust anyone enough to take their word for it on things. He prefers the seeing is believing route and thus tends to refute things until he sees them with his own eyes. This includes religious practices which he sees as weak without the direct presence of a goddess being shown before him. Blond- he does have his blond moments where general things somehow don't make sense to him. When he realized that what he was not understanding something simple, he's prone to smacking himself in the face and sighing. Eating habits- He loves candy very much and tends to eat more of it than he should... for breakfast lunch and dinner...oops? He knows he should take care of himself, but sugar helps him think straight, and what better way to get that than pure sugarcane? Handwriting- Only Ulric can decipher his chicken scratch he calls hand writing. It just looks backwards and terrible, but according to him it's perfectly fine writing. Somewhere in his subconscious, he'll admit it's pretty bad too, but he doesn't feel the compulsion to do anything about it. Smoking- When he's not eating, Ulric is smoking. He knows it's bad for him but can't seem to break the habit. LIKES: 'Tinkering'- As he calls it, really though, Ulric just likes taking things apart and putting them back together in various new configurations. He enjoys breaking and rebuilding, and sometimes he honestly can't rebuild something...but it's all in fun, right? Sweets and candy- He can actively be bribed with these and has a natural sweet tooth for sweets. Cats- He enjoys having a cat around Multi-colored socks- you have no idea how much he like socks... it's mildly ridiculous The ocean - mostly the vastness of it and the feeling that it could go on forever and a half Fish - any type Coffee DISLIKES: Being broke and out of cash a lot of the time People who beat around the bush Mice - it's why he keeps cats around if he can Losing his belongings which seems to happen regularly Chickens... OTHER INFORMATION HISTORY: Ulric grew up a seemingly normal life as the first born child of two loving if somewhat eccentric artistic parents. During his first few years, he and his parents traveled quite a bit going here and there to various places seeking some existential muse in which to help them in their quest for perfection in arts. It was rather boring for Ulric who found most of their expedition rather boring even from his earliest memories. The family would only settle down in Pastora after realizing that another baby was on the way when Ulric was around the age of five. Apparently traveling with one little one was fine but traveling with two was somehow much harder, and both had decided to settle down as a result. Though he wouldn't admit it then and still won't admit it now, he loved his baby sister for that reason only for a long time. During that time, his father actually got a decent job as a store worker in order to better put food on the plate and his mother began her home seamstress measures in order to also support the family. Later in the year, Ulric would also start school. It was in school where Ulric would find a love for science. More specifically, he loved machinery. He enjoyed learning the ins and outs of new inventions that were coming out and how they changed perspectives of things. Because of this, he grew a rather big dream to be an inventor and was always telling his peers and teachers that he would make some amazing cool new inventions and things of that nature. As he grew older, it only grew worse. His little sister, Alica, would become his more scientific outlet as he sometimes bounced ideas off of her to find that she was of a similar mindset to him. Both parents were left scratching their heads on where this love of such came from. As the years went by, a mixture of chores and cooking taught Ric how to take care of himself. When he was old enough, he got a brief job as an apprentice to an inventor who taught him even more than what school had and was teaching him. However, when Ric was around the age of eighteen, his parents wanted to up and move the family upon hearing about a new artistic movement or something. They were just moving, and they would find work in the other town. It would be alright, wouldn't it? Not for Rick. He enjoyed where he was and knew he could learn more and become a pro inventor in no time. He didn't want to go chasing any more lost dreams as he called them. There was a considerable amount of argument that is best left in the past, but after some dispute, Ulric stayed and his parents and sister went. Ulric would never go to any formal college but would eventually earn up enough money to get his own small 'inventor's lab' as he called it. He did make some rather interesting things here and there including a tv that could switch between black and white and color among other things, and though marketing started out slow, he soon had a financial basis on which to actively sit on. Now a days, he wanders the town tinkering and the like. FEARS: Chickens... they just utterly terrify him with their tiny evil eyes as he calls them Drowning Being trapped underground HOBBIES: Taking things apart Sewing Reading by rimy ♥ of btn!
