I've got some questions for you, Mr. Oren.

You weren't always charming and charismatic. Tell me about life before your magical abilities manifested.

What woman hurt you so badly that you haven't been able to fully trust another woman since?

How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and your powers just didn't work?

What is the one thing you regret gambling away the most?

Life Before Magic

From the time that I was young, I never knew what I wanted to do with my life. Nobody wished to associate with me, probably because my family was poor-ish. But when my magic arose, I was the cream of the crop! Everybody wanted to be my friend! It was a lucky break for me.

What Women Hurt Me/What Do I Regret Gambling Away

Once, I met a lovely girl who seemed interested in me. We hung out for a while, and then we started a gambling match with some of my friends. One of the items I bet was a rather fancy hat that cost me a good deal of money. She won the lot and started to talk to another man. It was humiliating.

What If My Magic Failed

I would probably freak out for a short while, but then go about my day as if nothing had happened. Magic isn’t actually that big of a part of my life, besides the fact that my having it caused me to gain social status.

So you're not particularly attached to your magic, even though its manifestation marked the beginning of your rise to social prominence. You regret losing your hat mostly because it was embarrassing. Is there anything you actually care about? If not, does it bother you that you're so detached from your own life? Are you looking for something or someone to finally matter to you or are you terrified of needing something?

[GravityEmblem]

When I was a young boy, I was very close to my mother. We spent a lot of time together, and I very much enjoyed it. However, my parents always argued, primarily about what was best for me. One day, she just...left. I always felt like it was my fault.

...I guess that answers your question.

[Ezeze]

So you're afraid of getting attached to anything or needing anyone, because you were abandoned by your mother when you were younger?

Tell me a bit about her. How old were you when she left? What was she like?

You were raised by your father. Do you resent him for driving your mother away or has it being just you and him resulted in you being closer? What do you do that reminds your father of your mother?

You're charming, which makes it easy to make friends, but unwilling to be vulnerable which makes it very, very hard to keep them. What makes a good friend? What could someone do to make you think that you'll never be friends?

[GravityEmblem]

I was never really close with my father. It wasn't that I disliked him, we just...never had a connection.

There is one thing a friend should never do: hurt you in some way, apologize and say they'll never do it again...and then do it again. If that happens, then it's time to get a new friend.
