< Personality >
Type: INFP 9w8
Greatest Strength: Even if something that needs to be done goes against my own moral beliefs about it, I'll do it, because someone needs to. My recklessness can be a strength and a weakness, and I'm willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, and especially when it comes to myself. I'm also pretty loyal.
Greatest Weakness: I'm basically an alcoholic, and in this crumbling world without alcohol...it kind of sucks. I can be kind of irresponsible, and I also have a little bit of a problem with holding onto grudges when my trust is shaken -- I don't take too kindly to betrayal.
Greatest Source of Annoyance: Well, like I just said, betrayal. Betraying of trust, giving someone a cause to doubt your friendship. Also, I hate being called a coward. Something about it really rubs me the wrong way, and I'll definitely always do something to prove the accusation wrong.
Most Admirable Trait in Others: Honesty. I like it when people are upfront, and it makes it easier on everyone and themselves, not to mention better in the long run. I also highly value courage, in all the forms it can take.
Habits: Drinking, spouting off history trivia, hunting vampires, teaching my star pupil how to fight, watching out for my group of "illegals", and I used to really like eating french fries...I really miss them.
Ambitions: To make it through this god-forsaken time of crisis, and stay hidden from those Originals. To keep everyone alive and make it by on our own. To find some way to get Elena and Jeremy out of the places they're being confined, and help them combat their new supernatural natures, especially Jeremy. Also, to drink a neat bottle of aged Bourbon again before I face my end, and maybe a french fry.
Fears: Losing anyone I care about, and that I'll make an irresponsible choice somewhere down the road, or the wrong choice, and I'll fail the people depending on me.
Secrets: Hm...not a whole lot of secrets... Oh! Here's one! My bank account password used to be "Vampslayer". I also really miss teaching history to those knucklehead students.
Interesting Facts/Quirks: I drink...alot. Sometimes I even talk to my bottles, addressing them as Jack, and I also talk about them as though about a real person. My first job was as a pizza delivery boy. Another fun fact, my first name is Gothic and means "Ruler of all". How awesome is that?
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Animal: Honey badger
Favorite Musical Artist: Rascal Flatts
Favorite Movie: Walk the Line
Favorite Book: The Diary of Anne Frank
Relationship Status/Significant Other: Yeah, I'm...single right now. Kind of divorced from Isobel Flemming, though not technically, because I actually just thought she was dead, and turns out she was a vampire. So, she's undead. That'd kind of count me as a widower, right?
