Hobbies: Hiking: Weekend trips out of town, mountainsides on the holidays - Svess took to hiking when it was nine or ten and decided to keep on going. It rarely does anything overnight, since it's not comfortable being out in the dark, but being out in the wilderness is incredibly comforting when it knows it has things all well in hand. And it's good exercise, too!
Archery: Considering it got a high school scholarship for archery it's a
bit more than a hobby, but nonetheless, Svess is a talented archer; it picked the sport up around age ten at a local sports store when they offered an archery class, found a natural talent, and has been practicing ever since. It's not inasmuch interested in competing as it is just honing its skills further and further, but a prize doesn't hurt every once in a while.
Virtues: Detail Focus: Some people can't see the forest for the trees -- Svess acknowledges the forest as a whole is important, is the thing, but it likes to look at the roots. It has a good eye for spotting minute details in situations that might be overlooked by others, even if it's not necessarily sure what to
do about them.
Bright-Eyed: Well,
someone's got to be an optimist about this, don't they? There's a silver lining to it all, and the sun will always rise no matter how bad things get, and the snow will always melt. It's not so much optimism as it is a generally cheery, excitable outlook. At the core of it all, Svess believes that despite everything, people are basically good. Look around! In a world like this, who would really want to end it?
Flaws: Obsessive: Once Svess focuses on something, it focuses on it to the extent of blocking anything else out. Once it's on it, that's
all there is anymore; it's the only thing it cares about, and it'll chase it down until something stops or something ends. This can work well, for engineering tasks or athletic pursuits - but it's much less beneficial in all other walks of life.
Nailbiting: When Svess is anxious or discomforted, it tends to get a little mental about it; it'll start with biting its nails down to the quick and then move onto any other objects around. It's not necessarily a conscious choice, but it can and will start dismantling things if they're not nailed down and it won't hurt it to do so (and even so if it will; a tiny little shock never hurt anyone); it needs to be feeling like it's doing
something. Tiny little things don't last long if they're made of many parts. It's destroyed a lot of alarm clocks and writing utensils this way.
