Animus CR Meme

Rules:
1. Fill out the form that follows--some of the questions on this form are specifically about Animus, and so should hopefully provide more useful information than a general CR meme might!
2. Go through the meme and read others' comments, then reply to anyone you'd like to start CR with! Try to mention something specific to get things started, since that's easier to plan around than "let's do all the things".
3. Everyone gets wonderful CR!

CHARACTER INFORMATION
THE BASICS
Name: [OU/] Sam Erstwhile

primordial
Canon: Original Character
Room: 2-18
Collar Color: Violet
Special Information: He honestly looks like the kind of guy who bullies beat up every day at high school because of how wimpy he looks. Constantly slouches, uses tons of submissive body language, has disheveled clothes and long greasy hair, not to mention the ingratiating expressions on his face that make him look like a kicked puppy. He would probably be looked over in a crowd based on how exceedingly normal he looks.
Roommate Behavior: He is absent from the room for long periods of time, and even when he’s in the room, he doesn’t even talk to his roommates much, only giving half-hearted greetings and then going to his corner of the room and just staying there with his fairy tale books. Sometimes he doesn’t even return to the room at night, and he tells no one about his whereabouts, he just slips out when no one is looking. Not very messy, though- he doesn’t own much, anyways.
Current Status: Mostly still getting a feel for living in the tower, collecting people to be his “friends” who he can use later when he needs it.

DAYTIME ACTIVITIES
Schedule: Mostly just wanders around the tower, keeping to himself. He spends most of his time in the quieter part of the tower, though, like the library, the meadow, and the aquarium, the latter being his own cafeteria, basically, as he eats the fish there. You won’t see him getting into many adventurous situations, though occasionally he’ll stalk people if they look interesting enough.

Floors Frequented: Almost anywhere on the first block of floors, though mostly 3 and 10
Checkup Behavior: Oh, he complains about it and has to be dragged to it! But it’s mostly whimpering and whining, and he usually shuts up as soon as he gets into line, muttering to himself as he waits for his turn. Either way, it’s evident he doesn’t really care for it at all.

NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES
Schedule: Again, he wanders. While he doesn’t really need to sleep, sometimes he likes taking a nap in the water of the aquarium on floor 10 as he has no problem breathing, so feel free to WTF at the guy wandering among the fish like it’s nothing. But he also goes up to the upper floors to hang out his Persona, Mordiggian, and does fight the occasional monster if he feels like it.

Floors Frequented: Any of the upper floors, though once again, 10 is a favorite floor of his.
Reaction to Monsters: If there’s somebody else there. Sam will scream like a girl and rely on others to save him, being the helpless victim he loves to present himself as. If by himself, though, he’ll take on the monster with his Persona. If it’s too strong, he usually defeats it using his true form or just gives up and slithers away. But this is only when he knows he’s alone- any chance that he’s not, and he’ll act like Shaggy from Scooby Doo, no kidding.

LONGTERM
IC Character Plans: Sam HATES this place. Even the place he was at before, Hinoto-Ri, was better than this, and he wants nothing but to be free from the admins’ control. Therefore, he’s subtly pushing for the inner destruction of the Tower (for example, he told Urotsuki a while ago that the admins had captured her boyfriend, as to make her go to fight them). He just wants to go home and live out his evil Lovecraftian life of revenge, thank you very much.

OOC Character Plans: Sam’s been slowly gathering people he can manipulate, and he’ll continue to do that for quite some time, acting the sweet pathetic friend he actually isn’t. Eventually he’ll start to make further moves to go against the admins to let him go. As for character development, I don’t know! Sam is at a point in his life where he’s very much still yearning for manipulation and revenge, but there’s a slimmer of humanity in there somewhere that is still mourning the loss of his sister. Whether somebody will manage to save that sliver from being engulfed completely has yet to be seen- all I can say is that it will be quite the task.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
My character is most likely to get positive CR with... NO ONE. Hahaha, no really, even though outwardly he’ll be “friends” with people, he honestly doesn’t care about anyone besides himself. To actually even touch his capacity to care would mean you’d have to act as much like his little sister as possible- basically, younger girls who are brave and smart and will care about him no matter what could hit this very tiny soft spot. But other than that, he’ll mentally roll his eyes at anyone he meets, even fellow villains.
My character is most likely to get negative CR with... Ooh, more likely to get this. If somebody goes against his manipulation, insults him, or basically implies that he’s useless, Sam will hate them like nothing else. Which isn’t the best thing- he’ll often go out of his way to make people’s lives worse if they do something like that. If they continue to get on his nerves, they’ll touch upon Sam’s huge and very animalistic temper, in which he’ll flip all the tables, turn other people against them, and backstab like nothing else until the other person is out of his life for good.

I would like my character to...
MANIPULATE EVERYONE EVER. People going against him, people maybe accidentally touching whatever humanity is still left inside his rotten soul. Him undermining the best of plans and then denying his intentions. ANYTHING, REALLY.

Also, I would LOVE to be able to do a Wounded Gazelle Gambit with him at some point, because it really is the type of thing he would do, to blame someone else by making himself seem like the victim.

I would like to avoid...
Sam is a villain, and therefore I’m not looking really for AWWW REDEMPTION ARC, because seriously, he’s a big baddie. Although he might not have killed anybody (yet), it still won’t change the fact that he’s a manipulative jerk who could care less if people die in front of him. Even if somebody manages to salvage his remaining humanity, it’ll be incredibly painful for him, and changing his view towards the world in general would be near impossible.
