>>55459670>what's your ocs fear response? fight/flight/freeze/fawn?Hazel's is probably freeze, especially if other people's fear in such a situation is strong enough to reach his empathic sense, which can overwhelm him.
Another OC I'm working on is more of a feisty character, so her response would probably be fight unless it's something way out of her league.
>What are their best traits? what are their most self destructive?Hazel's best trait is probably patience, specifically patience when dealing with other people or Pokemon. He's willing to take the time to get to know someone, so long as they're the same with getting to know him. As for his most self-destructive... I would say it's over-reliance on his psychic powers to try understanding people. Since the primary way to establish a "connection" with his powers is through either physical contact or heavy concentration, he's stuck with the options of awkwardly asking for some kind of continued contact or making a "concentrated" face which may be off-putting, especially if he's focusing his attention on a single person.
My next OC's best trait, I think, is passion. She's the kind who will throw all of herself into anything she does to get the most out of it. Her most self-destructive, though, would be a tendency to shoulder a lot of emotional weight by herself; preferring to suffer on her own in silence rather than confide in other people, resulting in a fierce temper.
>if they're in a high octane action-y setting, what would you most like tos ee them do in a slice of life or vice versa?My main 'verse is much more slice-of-life for these characters, with not too much action outside of casual and/or official league battles. I have an AU on the back burner that's a lot more shonen-action-y, with the humans a lot more involved in the fighting and the stakes, but that's mostly for when I feel the need to think about those high octane, frustration-venting action scenes.
