Personality ::
-"Rabbit? Yeah, I know why I got called that. You can run, and run, but you'll never catch me-- and don't try to corner me, either. It's really not a good idea." (( Independent >> Distant))
Logan works hard for what he wants, and he doesn't need anyone to hold his hand or tell him he's doing a good job. When there's something that needs to happen, he makes it happen, no questions asked. He doesn't like to bother himself with listening to others' opinions, however, so it can make him a little hard to reach. He's not easily approached, and he doesn't like to relinquish control of his life in any way. As soon as it feels like someone is trying to tell him how he should run his business or maintain his life, Logan's out the door. Because of his seeming allergy to feeling cornered, he seldom feels anything beyond mild affection for anyone; it's a defense mechanism to shut himself down when he does feel something more. Essentially, it's like the phone rings, you can leave a message... but nobody's gonna answer it, because there is definitely caller ID and he is screening them most attentively. >>;; *shot for cheesy metaphor* xD;
-"Mine. Not yours. Mine." (( Protective >> Territorial ))
His turf, his neighbourhood, his friends: Logan keeps what he cares for safe. He isn't great at showing it, really. Still, if someone in his care or in his life is being threatened, Logan will step up and do his best to put a stop to it. Usually he'll do it with a smile, and try to defuse a situation, but now and again his protective nature turns into a mean territorial streak, which can make him lash out.
-"You can put out my fire, but my embers will burn until I die." (( Passionate >> Scorching ))
Logan takes a long time to get to care for someone, but once he does, he pours his heart into it. It's most evident not with other individuals, but actually within his tattoos and his business; Logan is passionate about his career, because inking is what he loves most. Because of the fact that he seldom has an outlet for his passion outside of tattooing, when he tries to translate it to a relationship he can't often turn down the heat. It can get scorching, fast, because when he focuses his attention on someone there's little peace from the over-enthusiastic dog. The level of passion which he achieves often prevents his affection from being entirely extinguished altogether, and it will likely continue to smoulder even after he's been rejected.
-"Look, I don't know how to say this... but it really does need to be said: I find you extremely irritating. Oh, there, I said it; looks like it wasn't that hard, after all." (( Honest >> Blunt ))
Logan tends to say what he is thinking. All the time. Even when he's talking to a client, because tattoos are extremely important to him, so if there's a client who wants a hideous tattoo, or a tattoo in an unacceptable place, he'll tell them so. Essentially, being honest about things seems to have worked so far. However, he can definitely come across as blunt, because he doesn't know how to mince words very well. After going after his own goals with single-minded purpose, he has lost track of the necessity of speaking kindly to others.
-"It's not like I could have offended you, haha." (( Humourous >> Dismissive ))
Logan has a dry sense of humour, often at someone else's expense. He does like to laugh, but he can take that a little too far, especially if he's mock-flirting. If one was to try to take him up on his flirting, or call him out on his teasing, he'd just dismiss their concerns or their approach, however; he's not interested in making any of it real, he's just playing around. On the same note, he can be dismissive of others' needs, as well, because the dark side of his humour is that if often prevents him from seeing things in a very caring fashion.
xxxxxLikes: Tattooing. Sleeping for at least 10 hours a night. Sitting in high-up places. Good weather. Staying in bed when it's raining. Secretly, Jace slipping in via his window.
xxxxxDislikes: Getting soggy, trying to explain tattoos to idiots, running out of instant noodles.
xxxxxFavourite Food: Octopus-shaped hotdogs. Or waffles with syrup. It depends on the time of day!
xxxxxHobbies: Tattooing, sketching, weight training.
xxxxxInterests: Logan enjoys physical activity, especially running. Sometimes, when feeling particularly ambitious, he'll run through the Spades faction and try to find Jace. He never does, but it's fun anyway. He also likes recording videos on his cellphone, except he can only do that in Clubs' territory.
xxxxxFaction Opinion: Logan loves that it's never truly dark in Clubs, but sometimes he regrets how many stupid party animals try to get his tattoos done. He sometimes wishes for clientele a little more serious. All in all, though, he belongs in Clubs and flourishes there.
xxxxxAspirations: To be the best tattoo artist in any of the factions.
xxxxxFears: To disappoint himself. He is also afraid to lose the memories of his adoptive father. Logan is, most of all, afraid of losing his safe state of indifference.
Employment::
xxxxxTitle: Ink Virtuoso
xxxxxJob: Logan runs a tattoo parlour in the Clubs faction, outside the park proper. He costs a lot, nearly skin and blood, but his other employees are pretty affordable and a good deal.
Appearance::
xxxxxHair: White, cut rather erratically. Worn long in the back, but sheered short in some strange places.
xxxxxEyes: Silver-grey with a tint of blue.
xxxxxSkin tone: Warm, faintly tanned.
xxxxxPalette: All from Logan's egg.
xxxxxClothing: He loooves his black leather jacket, but he also has a yellow PVC-esque vest that he likes a lot. Furry ruffs, etc.
xxxxxAdditional: By adult, covered in his natural markings as well as tattoos and piercings.

Okay so, looking over the personality I feel like I shouldn't even have to tell you that they're all pretty excellently done and mesh pretty damn well.
He seems very inhibited socially, like he may have trouble in social situations whenever he finds himself in them, also in addition to his delay in warming up to people he might be hard to approach at the same time. So I wonder if he might be at all lonely?
Because while I see flaws that make him believable, I don't see many fears or more personal goals than just becoming a tattoo artist and that's what I'D like to know about him. What is he scared of?
If you want to keep this much loneliness and quietness, you should probably think of ways to develop him so he starts moving out of it right off the bat, because he definitely CAN -- he just needs to make the right friends.
I feel like a lot of the heaviness of his character comes from the independent/aloof. I almost feel like if you change aloof to something like disinterested, or ********, you can kind of eliminate his difficulty with social situations without really sacrificing the fact that he lives for himself and his passion. The aloof trait was really what struck me as the most dissonant part of his personality, because he strikes me as such an impassioned character in his own right that it seems sort of odd that he'd be distant about anything. And i mean, you make it work, but i think that's what you should look at if you want to change him from how he is now.
