Special Characteristics: -

Personality:
*Out of Combat: Out of combat, Desmond is an extremely lax person. He is laid back, and doesn't like to deal with the problems of others. He is by no means lazy, he simply just lacks motivation to trouble himself with anyone else other than himself. Along with this, he is lax for another reason. Desmond has this feeling that he should never reveal his identity as a hunter, mostly because he doesn't want the publicity. He only accepts jobs anonymously, he never collects payment without his suit on, etc. He just doesn't want a mix of his casual life and his work life, so Desmond tries to make his casual life as laid back as possible so that others don't suspect him of being who he truly is. That way he can do whatever he wants with no stress whatsoever. Other than this, however, Desmond is an extremely prideful person. He prides himself in everything he does, as well as his appearance and intellect. He is by no means arrogant or cocky, however he will get extremely defensive and most times angry if someone takes a jab at his actions or pride. Along with this, as one might expect, Desmond is indeed a fairly smart individual. He studied his suit from a very early age, reads many books on various subjects, and tries his hardest to learn whatever he can whenever he can. He won't ever pretend to know something he doesn't, but if he does, he will confidently speak with conviction.

*In Combat: In combat Desmond's personality stays more or less the same, however he acts as though it doesn't. As previously stated, he doesn't want anyone to make connections to himself, so he acts differently. Firstly, he almost never speaks unless he needs to. Even when he does speak, the suit sounds differently than his own voice. Desmond fights using mainly his wits, much less than professional training in any particular fighting style. He is one to use his enviroment to aid him, deduce opponent's weaknesses, and then find a weapon in his arsenal to take it down or at least help in doing so. Since he usually doesn't fight people - as Desmond finds it amoral to kill other humans and the like - Desmond doesn't find the need to learn professional fighting styles. He just fights big hulking beasts that usually aren't proficient in karate. Anyways, stealth is also one of his big factors. Desmond likes to take out the biggest threats before they actually become big threats, and before they even know he was there. This, along with his own pride, are the 2 reasons that Desmond doesn't like fighting in teams. It is harder to be stealthy when there are more people with you, and there is just more of a burden on him as an individual. Along with that, hunting just doesn't bring him the same satisfaction if he does it with others, since he did less work alone and therefore had a lower showing of his personal strength.

Likes:
*Loafing Around: Outside of his profession, Desmond likes to chill out most of the time and just relax. Be it by taking a nap or reading a book, he just wants to loaf around and be casual when not on a job.

*Hunting: Desmond's job as a hunter is his pride and joy in his life. And although he doesn't like others outside of a select few people knowing his profession, he still prides himself in it.

*Looking Good: Desmond is a firm believer in that his appearance is what everyone would judge him on. As such, he dresses as good as possible whenever possible.

*Trophies: Hunting trophies give Desmond such a sense of accomplishment. It is one thing to hunt down and defeat a strong beast or monster, but it is another to take a horn or something back home to remember it forever. Because of this, he even dedicated the basement in his house to being a trophy room.

*Exercising: Often done in private, Desmond exercises a lot. He loves keeping fit and it makes him feel better when he does it.

Dislikes:
*Telling Others About Him: Other than a select few people - mainly his guild mates, for obvious reasons - Desmond does not like others knowing about his job as a hunter. He fears that others will think of him differently.

*Working in Teams: Desmond hates nothing in the world more than having someone else aid him against something he is battling. He was raised on the concept of individual strength, and thinks himself to be weaker when he needs help. He doesn't reject loyalty or the concept of teams, but just the actual act of being in one.

*Mushiness / Being a Baby: Desmond has nothing against emotions, but he does have something against people that are too emotional. He thinks that there is a point where people are being too lovey dovey and too sentimental, to the point of them just being obnoxious.

*Messy Clothes: As a man driven by appearance, Desmond gets aggitated when others don't look as nice as himself - or when he looks bad. This ranges from dirt to paint to just simple wrinkles, he thinks everyone should look good and feel good.

*Know-it-Alls: Desmond doesn't have any aggression towards people who know a lot. He doesn't care about those who know a lot and like to show it off. However, what he can't stand is when people show off their vast overall knowledge... And then don't get information correct. Then, they're just annoying.

Motivations:
*Larger Game: As a hunter, Desmond believes that the larger your trophies are, the stronger of a hunter you are. And he wants the largest game available.

*Money: Desmond, before all else, is still a person with basic human needs. He needs food, shelter, and clothing, and all of that requires money. So, there would only be rare occassions when he would do work for free.

*Technological Understanding: His suit is made of magical technology, and Desmond wants to know as much about it, as well as how to modify it as possible. To do this, he needs to learn more about tech as possible to further his understanding of his gear.

*Moving On: Desmond's pride lies in his ability as an individual, but he knows that as a beginner mage that he will have to rely on others to help him grow. So, he hopes to one day reach a position where he can help himself and move on from needing others, for the sake of his pride.

*Documenting: Desmond wants to document every creature he hunts, their lifestyles, habits, habitats, as well as strengths and weaknesses so that he can create his own encyclopedia of monster hunting.

Fears:
*Facial Deformation: The face is the most public part of the body, and as a man who values appearances - he can't even imagine what would happen if he got a scar or a black eye or something.

*Loss of Memory: When you lose your memory, you technically could have done anything during the blacked out time. Desmond fears the impact of this weight on his shoulders, and whether or not he could handle wondering if he did anything terrible.

*Dolls: Dolls are just generally creepy. Especially ragdolls and porcelain ones. Along with this, puppets also fill the bill as well.

*Confinement: Being restrained, be it by getting imprisoned, locked up, or anything of that sort is the highest manner of limiting one's freedom to Desmond. As a man who covets his personal freedom, confinement is terrifying.
