Okay, fine, let's relish in some beautiful memories~
1. Jet is charismatic and very intriguing. He knows about his ability to twist people around his little finger and to charm their pants off, and he deliberately uses it. He's got the passion (and the belief to have the right goals) to talk people into nearly anything.
2. Under his open and charming attitude, Jet is extremely wary and distrusting, bordering to a serious paranoia. Although he does care for his friends who fight at his side and trusts them, he is quick to change his opinion as soon as he sees signs of them questioning him and his fight and thus abandoning him.
He himself is ready to sacrifice what he has to for achieving for the higher goal, even if it's somebody he loves.
3. Jet's view of the world is twisted. He's lost everything, and the urge for revenge (and preventing something like that to ever happen again) is all that keeps him going and the fuel that drives him ( ... )

1. sex, 2. sex, 3. sex, 4. sex, 5. sex. :D
Well, okay. One more time, more seriously.
1. Jack is extroverted and doesn't mince matters. If he's got to say something, he'll say it without thinking twice, and he won't hide his thoughts or feelings - on the contrary, he feels the need to inform the general public about anything that's bothering him. He doesn't hold back his anger or sex drive.
As a consequence, he lacks any sense for tact and can't lie, mostly because he doesn't see the need to do so. Also, he really isn't good at empathy and his own needs always come first.
The only thing he doesn't show is hurt, because Jack's too proud to admit that someone is able to hurt him.
2. Jack's very single-minded, and his skills are limited to the physical level more than the intellectual. He is very sensual and has a more than healthy sex drive, over which he has little to no control, as he never learned to be patient or hold back his needs. (His complete lack of self-discipline might be the reason why being at ( ... )

Somehow, you just knew I want to reflect on AA-AJ characters, and as I haven't written much with Kristoph and Phoe-Phoe and no Polly whatsoever up to now, you decided it has to be Klavier, ja? XD
...I'm sorry for forcing you into this.
1. On the outside, Klavier consists of his rockstar personality, complete with his fake German, a passion for poetry and love songs and the air guitar soli. He is flirtatious, charming, vain and conceited. Also, he doesn't think about how gay his behaviour might seem, as he has no sense for what is considered appropriate for a man and what too gay whatsoever. All in all, he's a big show-off, and it's hard to tell what of all this is fake and what is genuine, since it all has become second nature to him.
2. In fact, Klavier is a pussycat. He is all in for romantic things and he likes body contact, cuddling, soft kisses and whispering sweet nothings. He does love showing affection and recieving it ( ... )

The first three points are just what I thought: a rockstar pussy cat perfectionist. That's him right there. XD
The fourth is very much true as well, how else could he have suddenly turned and worked against Daryan? (*sob*) It wasn't that he didn't rust Daryan. He probably did assume that his friend had a number of good reasons to do what he did, but it didn't make it less of a crime, and that's what mattered to Klavier. He's a bit naive in that he believes so firmly in the law and in good and evil. Kristoph probably had a hand in that, not realizing that Klavier's sense of justice had become stronger than his (blond blind) loyalty. Dug your own grave there, Kristoph ( ... )

Agreed. Not to mention that he seems to share Apollo's belief that the truth is something absolute.
(blond blind) loyalty
XDXD God, I shouldn't be laughing so much at this!
Oh, the last one. It was hard not write a massive rant here! But of course, what you said should be in there, too, because the "conscious" part is really important.
Klavier is not consciously putting up a mask. It's surpression, not conscious, either - and a deliberate decision not to reflect on what happened. (Or to know what he himself might be capable of - I like to believe that Klavier is actually a little bit more dead or twisted inside than he wants to admit).
Of course, Klavier is one of the worst liars in existence! XD And he can't hide it at all when he's upset.
He won't break down in front of an audience.Still, there is this. Klavier can smile even if he doesn't feel like it, he can hide hurt and forcefully distance himself. And if he forces ( ... )
