Hmm... I'm going to base my character off of another one that I created for a different story as well as myself because, you know, that's always fun.

Name: Farid Drahos (I love making names, guys. Okay?)

Positive personality traits: Imaginitive, logical, honest, straightforward, open-minded, intelligent

Negative personality traits: Insensitive, private, absent-minded, dislikes restrictions, self doubtful, snarky



Character overview: Farid has always been interested in a variety of subjects, especially art. However, his parents misunderstood this interest and placed him in an art school, which he was fairly unhappy about because he was still interested in learning about other school subjects, and because he didn't like the thought of being restricted to one career option when he got older. Either way, he's decided to live with it and learn about the other subjects online and from books he borrowed from the local library for fun. He's not too interested in socializing with the other students, and usually prefers to keep his thoughts to himself and work on projects alone. This is because he hates it when other people disregard his ideas, and he feels that the only way he can make a project turn out satisfactory is if he does the whole thing himself. However, he often has trouble completing projects and is easily sidetracked.

People can easily get tired of his logic and honesty as well. He sees no point in sugar-coating anything, and so he presents the facts as they are without giving much regard to how it will make other people feel, since he believes that feelings just get in the way of making proper decisions. He also prefers to take his time thinking over options, though he will often doubt himself (and will become overly stressed about making decisions). Because of this, some of the other students view him as cold and underexperienced.

Farid is also has difficulty understanding some things in art, such as abstract paintings and emotional art (both of which he sees as a waste of his time). For him, art is more of an outlet to express his ideas to other people. His goal is to write and illustrate his own books.
