Smash or Pass: Paris Wormwood

I was tagged by @mythandral for this meme, tysm for the tag! not gonna tag anyone else since it's made its rounds by now, so this is an open tag :)

Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

QUICK FACTS:

height: 5'9" / 175 cm

age: mid 20s

gender: genderqueer

pronouns: they/them (preferred), she/her (situational), he/him (rare)

sexuality: lesbian

PROS:

loyal to a fault

enjoys late-night conversations, sometimes with a drink or two

can be a jokester when they want to

usually laidback and casual once you get to know them

will send you trinkets they think you would like

CONS:

mother and father issues out the wazoo

crippling inferiority complex and low self-worth

doesn't know how to express themselves so they bottle up their emotions, later explodes in fits of rage. commonly destroys things as a result

uses alcohol and recreational drugs as unhealthy coping mechanisms

has commitment and abandonment issues, will sabotage relationships first to avoid being hurt by the other party

DETAILS:

paris, at first glance, appears aloof, intimidating, and incredibly crass to those who don't know them. this is a front they put up to hide their vulnerability

beneath the hardened exterior, paris is a lonely individual who has trauma over being abandoned by their loved ones. once you break through the protective shell, paris is awkward and somewhat shy

paris has a fondness for bugs, they will release a bug safely outside instead of killing it

despite their reputation, paris despises being the savior of eorzea. they would rather spend time tucked away in a quiet corner with a cup of coffee and a nice book to read

somewhat of a chain-smoker, their voice is hoarse and low. this is partly the reason why people confuse paris for a man, the most common reason is their masculine name

secretly enjoys being hugged but doesn't know how to ask for one, something they consider embarrassing and childish

used to be self-conscious about their nose scar as their peers would mock their appearance

forgets to take care of themselves, is known to skip meals and refuse sleep
