Q: What would trigger Neil to loose his composure?
A: It could differ from time to time what makes him lose his composure. No ones always got an A game face and Neil is not an exception. Some days it might be easier to tick him off then others. But for the most part what would make him him 'lose' it:
- If a boil where to cling to him constantly and not leave him alone. He hates when ghouls do this but is more forgiving, but he REALLY hates it when boils do this even more.
- Boils that hit ghouls. He'd lose it then too.
- Having to be in a room for an extended period of time with a bunch of Charlie like bouncy characters.
This is just a small list but I hope it gives a better idea. He has patience but his patience can be worn down over time.
Q: With his dry humor - does he also speak in a monotone? Is that why it's hard to tell?
A: Neil doesn't talk in monotoned but when hes joking his voice doesn't change to help establish that he is. He could be talking normally and just pop something in there with no indication that he's joking.
Q: Does he find it hard to make friends seeing as he does tend to have a very pessimistic attitude?
A: Yes. I imagine friendship is harder for him then it should be. Thats not to say he has a hard time socializing. I don't imagine he does have a hard time striking up conversations with others, but as far as making friends, yes. I think its difficult for him.
Q:Why does he like to listen to sad ghouls? What causes him to melt around them? Considering he's blunt, has a pessimistic attitude, and doesn't really trust or care about others, why would he even tolerate being a crying ghoul who's problems he doesn't understand? Seems a lot of effort for someone who seems could care less? Why are they elevated to a level of importance?
A: TLDR: Boils he expects more of because he understands them. Ghouls he believes can break like glass and he doesn't want that to happen.
As far as sad ghouls I probably should add that in general he sees ghouls different then he sees boils. Ghouls are breakable to Neil and very different. He doesn't understand them but he sees them as needing protecting and fixing. Where as with boils, Neil was the youngest of three brothers and doesnt see them in the same light as he does with ghouls. In a way I suppose you could call Neil a little sexist with his out look. But not sexist in the way that ghouls are objects. Just sexist in the way that ghouls need to be protected. He didn't grow up with any sisters, and I imagine not many ghoul friends, so they are almost a strange other worldly concept to him that pulls on his heart strings.
Q: Why is Neil in school. What are his objectives? Focuses?
A: Mostly Neil just wants to out do his brothers and what better way to do that then attend school and better him self that way? He'd really like to expand his musical knowledge and physical I think.
So he can be the god damn batman.Q: Is he a fairly attentive student? Or does his stuck up cynical pessimism means he dismisses his homework as "not worth doing"?
A: I'd think he'd have a pretty good drive as a student if not to have another reason to feel a little better then others.
Q: How does he deal with big crowds and get-togethers?
A: He doesn't get scared off with them and will show up, depending on what kind of get together it is. He's not going to go to one of Charlies make believe tea parties willingly for example. As far as talking to people he'll talk no problem, its just he might not think much of who hes talking to.
