STRENGTHS & SKILLS:
David is extremely intelligent and resourceful- this might not always lead him down the right path, but it's certainly a path. He's been specially trained to handle these situations, which is why his cool nature might seem a bit apathetic- and who knows, maybe it is! He doesn't panic, and he seems to always know what to do.
WEAKNESSES:
Diplomacy. He has absolutely no penchant for it. David will get himself into bad situations because he's horrible at handling relationships either between him and another person or between two people.
But let's talk about David and relationships for a second. Whether you're friend or family, you can't shake the feeling that you're being played. Being in any kind of relationship with David is exhausting- you are constantly being lied to, being gaslighted, or made to feel like you shouldn't be blaming him for something. The strange part is that it doesn't seem to be for any kind of monetary or physical gain, and further still it doesn't look like he gets some sort of power trip from it. It's just who he is.
WEAPONS: Standard issue 9mm Beretta & Asian kung-fu!
PERSONALITY:
He's kind of a douche-bag, and he'll say some pretty awful stuff to you. But that's all that it is, just stuff. In the end it feels like David doesn't do much but talk. He's willing to lend a hand to help, and really he is constantly doing nice things, even if it's under all that talk.
On the surface, he is calm and collected, monotone and inexpressive. He's a steady stream of offensive jokes, sarcasm, and pop culture references.
HISTORY:
After some sort of whirl-wind, Casablanca romance, David and Ida married in the hot summer of 2013, and shortly after began raising a family. They don't talk about what they did before then, but it always sounds like they remember it fondly, and they occasionally have some crazy half-stories from it. ("Remember that night in Amsterdam? Boy, that was insane." )
David will talk a lot about his son, Wyatt, who is very young. He has drawings from him, and photos, and always love mentioning him in casual conversation. ("Oh shit. Wyatt would totally dig that. He's all about dinosaurs right now.") You'll hear him make references to his daughter, apparently from a previous marriage, Rose, who seems to be in her broody teenager phase. He doesn't talk a lot about her, and will mention, when pressed, that she lives in a special needs hospital.
LIKES:
- Ida
- Electronics (His cellphone, his DS )
- Busying himself so that he doesn't have to deal with reality
- Children
- Anime
- MLP:FiM
- Cringe videos
DISLIKES:
- Social justice warriors
- When people don't have a response to his jokes
- Vintage stuff. He doesn't get the hype. It's old, who cares?
- Being referred to as 'Mr.' He's a doctor, dammit!
EXTRA:
- Very flat, tone wise and expression wise. Even when he's happy he doesn't smile all that much.
- He is a Chinese-American. He speaks Chinese, badly. He understands it but doesn't pronounce it properly. It's like he doesn't really try.
- He's always doing something, or trying to do something. He doesn't like having a lot of down-time. It seems like he's trying to preoccupy himself all the time.
- He is totally down for whatever you want to do. He isn't lazy by any means, and he likes adventure, as outwardly calm as he seems. If you have a dare, tell him. But be prepared for him to totally do it.
- David likes making people feel really awkward.
- 99% of the stuff he says is a joke. But it's hard to tell what is and what isn't.
- His favorite pony is Twilight Sparkle, and he knows the whole alicorn arc is really stupid, stop talking about it!
