Who is this Phox? What are they like? What has their life been like so far?
He knows what itâs like to make mistakes and regret them. Wife and kids?
Strengths:
Charismatic â With his casual air and his warm, easygoing smile, Fathom can be quite charismatic. He gets along with most and isnât a fan of conflict, preferring to go with the flow, so heâs become very skilled at being able to smooth situations over and to do so very quickly before nerves fray, patience wears too thin, and fights break out. Fathom knows how to appeal to others and socialize in a manner that attracts others to him, prioritizing fun and good times over seriousness and grim subjects. He also has a good sense for when things are about to turn awkward or tense in difficult conversations and can thus know exactly when to change the subject while knowing what subjects are safe to change to.
Easygoing â This phox likes to take things easy and is very laid-back when it comes to most things â at least outwardly â and is only rarely found in a foul mood. This makes him very approachable and heâs relatively friendly toward strangers so long as you donât go out of your way to be a pest to him, which can be surprisingly difficult. Slow to annoy and even slower to anger, there isnât much that seems to rattle Fathom or get on his nerves. He always prefers to go with the flow than to make waves. Because he also behaves in a very relaxed and calm manner, he also tends to calm people around him, putting them at ease simply with his demeanor and having them believe that everything will be alright.
Devoted â Fathom may be hard to win the affections of, but if you somehow manage to get into his actual good graces and be someone he considers a true friend or family member, he will be devoted to you for life. He is very affectionate, caring, tender, and loving, but only towards a select few he considers close to him. Those he stands beside he will support 100% to the best of his ability and will do his utmost to never them let down. Though he may seem outwardly warm enough to strangers, thatâs nothing compared to how much he cares for those who are truly important to him and what he would be willing to do or even sacrifice for their sakes.
Forgiving â Not one to hold grudges, Fathom is fully for the saying âlive and let liveâ. He will rarely ever seek retribution for wrong done to him and is more likely to let it all be water under the bridge than to risk what he would consider unnecessary conflict. Fathom can be sympathetic or empathetic at times, leading him to be a merciful being who is lenient on his enemies â not that he has many or considers many to be enemies. Compassionate and understanding as he is, he is more likely to pity others who hate or dislike him and consider him an enemy than he is to take slights against him personally. He doesnât like to hold peopleâs actions against them, especially when he himself knows what itâs like to make mistakes and regret them.
Faults:
Narcissistic â Fathom is very fond of his own appearance and thatâs major a weakness of his because it makes him very susceptible to flattery. It also tends to make him overestimate how highly others think of him and thus sometimes misjudge how much they actually like him. He will often spend long hours preening or admiring himself because he takes so much pride in his looks. Sometimes he will go up to others and come off as fairly charismatic until he reveals how narcissistic he is and that often lowers othersâ opinion of him. He also has a hard time understanding why being so vain is a flaw, so he canât understand why admiring himself and making comments about how good he looks would lower opinions of him because he believes heâs simply stating facts.
Lazy â Overall, this phox is relatively unmotivated and tends to be an underachiever. Though he has a passion for researching certain things as a hobby, he doesnât usually feel any obligation or urgency to use his research toward any particular goal. There arenât too many things in life that he considers urgent enough to need to be done right away and thus will usually procrastinate and put things off until he absolutely canât anymore. Fathom also lacks a strong urge to improve himself and gives up easily on almost anything he attempts to do that he canât do well the first time. This laziness and general lack of motivation to do anything with any sense of urgency could possibly be attributed to a sort of depression. His laziness also leads to being careless in what he does and says to others because he doesnât tend to care about much when it comes to himself and doesnât have a very strong sense of self-preservation.
Noncommittal â This phox is not the greatest when it comes to duties and responsibility. He may be devoted to those he cares about, but he doesnât like taking sides in arguments or fights and doesnât like getting involved in disputes or battles because heâs very conflict-avoidant. Commitment scares him and makes him wary, so he tends to keep even loved ones at a distance in order to avoid vulnerability. There are exceptions to this, of course, but they are few and far between. For the most part, Fathom has a fear of intimacy and getting close to people. He has trouble processing feelings healthily and tries to be a friend to all rather than attaching to any one particular individual. He does not like being tied down and is very guard, vague, and evasive when others try to corner him about being committed. When faced with those who are at odds with one another, he likes to be diplomatic and to try to smooth things over with both sides rather than to risk making enemies of either one.
Facetious â One of Fathomâs main defense mechanisms when it comes to protecting himself mentally is to make light of serious topics and situations. As a result, he makes fun of a great deal of things he probably shouldnât and tries to be funny at times most would deem socially inappropriate in order to lessen tension. When topics and situations are too serious, tense, or grim, they make him very uncomfortable; particularly when a fight could break out because he tries to avoid conflict as much as possible. Thus, he will make jokes at his own expense or do whatever else he has to in order to alleviate tension with humor, silliness, or mockery regardless of how unappreciated or inappropriate it might be deemed at the time. This also tends to get him in a lot of trouble, but he canât help doing it out of habit, especially when heâs nervous.
