Hobbies:
- Relaxation specialist - Eagun is an old man, and he thinks that the past five decades have earned him the right to take a breather every now and then, and he is happy to participate in all manner of activities that facilitate that. Sometimes it is sitting alone in the quiet of nature, reading, fishing, cooking said fish over an open fire, enjoying the peace of solitude, sleeping when he feels like it. Sometimes it is poker with friends, screaming at football, or a downright financially negligent amount of shoooooopping. He really vibes with the “I do what I want” mentality, and since he has the resources for just that, might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
Areas of interest - He has a few curious studies that he doesn’t really plan to do anything with, but that still make him happy- despite lack of financial contribution??? Enjoys astrology and it seems like he’s in good company, as Destiny City has a remarkable amount of similarly interested parties. He’ll go to university hosted astrological events and sure does love a beautiful cloudless night to stargaze. Studies meteorology, because what old man doesn’t have s**t to say about the weather? And despite not being interested in computers, it’s just not practical in this day and age not to have a solid grasp of them, so he’s well-versed in technological shenanigans (“I’m not calling those damn overseas workers, can’t even understand what they’re trying to tell me, I’ll fix it myself.”) and has an online presence. He does enjoy learning. One thing you’re never too old for, despite what the adage says.
Gardening - Requisite “character who likes plants.” Eagun has a lot of downtime, and while he doesn’t spend all of it at home, when he does, you’ve got a decent chance at catching him in his rather spacious greenhouse. Grows flowers for his girls and non-GMO food for his table, so what more could you possibly want? He has a gardener who can fill in for him if he happens to actually get busy, but this is one “chore” that Eagun is happy to take on himself. Loves exotic stuff that is less likely to be found in your typical plant nursery, but those also usually require significant licenses and paperwork before they make it to his doorstep- He is happy to oblige.
Virtues:
- Pleasant - Eagun doesn’t generally show a huge range of emotion and has a very calm, practical, easy-to-engage-with demeanor. It’s just better for everyone that way, isn’t it? You don’t have to deal with someone bad-mannered, and he doesn’t have to waste the effort being upset to your face. He is fine with letting other people have their way, letting other people “be right,” and is not very complaintive or argumentative in public. For all most anyone knows, he is the picture perfect sweet old man. Aspire to be like him instead of your crotchety old neighbor. Very good at concealing things- emotions, occurrences, you get it- and handling them on the down low.
Amenable - Eagun is pretty sure he knows what he’s doing, but if someone else thinks they know better, he is happy to let them take the lead for better or worse. Doesn’t mind taking orders and will generally work toward the most positive outcome for everyone involved (provided it is not a direct detriment to him personally). He can be team-oriented when he needs to be and has a soft enough natural disposition that he can soothe and offset otherwise loud tempers. If it comes to a choice between what he wants to do or something he has already agreed to, he will usually stand by previously-arranged commitments, unless the outcome looks particularly grievous.
Independant - Plays nice with others, but works well alone. Despite having quite a wide net of support, Eagun is very capable of fending for himself and doesn’t actually require any help in maintaining his physical and emotional well-being. Can successfully exist and thrive solo if necessary. He can be decisive and practical and will look after people who have significant meaning to him. Capable of forging and standing by his own opinions, even if kept to himself.
Flaws:
- Unapologetic - You can call it ‘self-assurance’ or something equally as positive-sounding, but that would imply that Eagun thinks he can’t make mistakes, when it’s more accurate to say that he is simply not bothered when he does. If it hurts himself, that’s pretty much whatever- his own fault, he’ll recover, no reason to pitch a fit about it. Accidents happen, he’s not perfect and not pretending to be. If it hurts someone else, well, if they were minding their own well-being, they wouldn’t have been in a position where the expectation was for Eagun not to do something that could impact anyone else. That feels like it’s on them, sooo why should he feel sorry about it. Apologies are just a waste of breath, anyway. If someone was going to regret something, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place.
Insincere - A side effect of wearing that “warm” smile all the time is that it starts to look less convincing to those who hang around him often. As it probably should. Eagun has precious few people and topics he genuinely cares about, but he does his best to keep things easy-going, in case someone can be of use to him later. Still, for the most part he is unconcerned with others’ plights, and besides shallow pleasantries he is not likely to show very much genuine care and emotion. He is also not very likely to linger for prolonged periods around people doing a lot of expressive emoting.
Self-indulgent - Life is a short ride. Might as well enjoy it? Sometimes (often) Eagun takes the initiative to do what is best for Eagun. Eating the richest snacks and partaking in carnal pleasures, yes. But also peacing out of his responsibilities when he mentally ‘needs’ to, or taking a ‘break’ from very taxing friendships. His priority is looking out for #1, and if that is a detriment to others, how is that his problem? He is well-off enough that it feels like the joy he gets from catering to his whims outclasses any repercussions he might face. He hasn’t really ever experienced something he couldn’t recover from mentally, physically, emotionally, financially in a handful of days, at most… Not frequently at odds with his “amenable” trait, as he isn’t very likely to volunteer himself for positions that compromise his personal gains.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
- Eyes: powder-blue, deep set, a few shallow crinkles near the corners
Hair: used to be brown, but grayed pretty prematurely and is fully white now (all the stress of living in Destiny City, you know). It’s not really ‘styled’ in any particular manner, but is relatively short and a little wispy.
Face: square jaw, broad nose, thick brows
Skin Tone: dark tan
Body Type: your “6’1” broad-shouldered and narrow waist” typical masculine, but showing his age. Everything is not quite as solid as it used to be.
Clothes: keeps it semi-formal, if not fully formal, but has no strong color preferences. He thinks he’s just as pretty in pastel as he is in black and is happy to say as much. Sure does love sweatpants in his own home, though.
