11. Enclosed - What would your character do if they woke up trapped in a room with 24 hours to escape?
"Panic first of all, like how did I get here, where is even here. But after trying to calm myself down I think I could come up with a way to find some clues to escape with. I'd just hope that there isn't another escape room outside if I escape from this one".
>w> I was between picking Ambrose and Crania, so I might do Crania next...
(Sorry Ambrose is...like this.
)
"My core beliefs and values? What a loaded question. Hm," Ambrose sighed, then took a long moment to think. "I suppose," he eventually began, "that I don't have many of those. Generally, I believe in living life the way that I see fit. Other people should sort themselves out, and if they aren't adequately sorted to deal with my interference, then it's their own fault for not being prepared. If you are weak, then you are weak--and I don't mean the downtrodden or what have you, poverty or some such aren't a reflection of weakness. I mean a weakness of...character. A weakness of self. Do you understand me?
"Of course, our glorious and most wonderful Primarch would never allow me to see such beliefs to their logical conclusions. He believes in protecting the 'innocent'--whatever the hell that's supposed to mean--and would probably toss me into the Void if I were to take advantage of weakness for my own gain, or simply in consequence of my experimentation with my power. So, though I'd love to ignore the wellbeing of the weak, and live my life the way I'd truly like to...my employer--" He leaned forward and rolled his eyes. "--would never allow it whilst I'm in his employ. Thusly, until he expires, which will...probably...be within my lifetime, I'm not to treat the weak the way that their condition demands.
"Anyhow, aside from that...I don't know. Do I look like a man of many values? I would imagine not, though perhaps that's just wishful thinking, since I don't want to have to explain the depths of my psyche any further." He leaned back in his seat and folded his arms, slouching a bit. "As for a piece of wisdom...hm...I suppose it would be this: Don't worry so much about other people. Everybody spends so much time thinking about others, when they should be thinking about themselves. I mean, it's your life, isn't it? It's sort of pathetic how little most people value themselves."

This just so happens to be a perfect question. 😏
So, one of Xailah's greatest fears is entrapment. This extends metaphorically and literally- from suffocating relationships to the actual concept of being trapped inside something and unable to escape. What she doesn't quite understand, is that she is a bird caught inside a gilded cage. She is anchored, and does not know it, because all she has ever known is the anchors weight.
Okay, edgy unneeded introductory explanation aside-
Xailah would probably panic first, if she were to ever find herself in a situation where she had been captured and placed into a timed escape room. She isn't usually caught, so the situation would be reasonably shocking. Assessment of the situation would follow, where she would then try every trick in her little book to get out. She's an escape artist. She's busted out of (and into) a lot of things- jails, houses, you name it. She's a firm believer of "if there is a way in, then there is a way out". And she'll probably find it eventually. She is nothing if not determined if her freedom is being threatened in any way.
Best case in this escape room scenario is that she never escapes after the 24 hours is up; because if she were to, she would be coming after whoever or whatever put her there in the first place.

8. Budget - What is your character's attitude towards spending money? Are they thrifty, or do they have expensive tastes?
Kazehiki is young, so he does not really spend money. But he likes to make donations with coins he finds in the streets, because he believes in helping others. Kazehiki has a wardrobe with a few outfits that he wears, so he does not feel the need to buy new ones as his are fine just the way they are.

majima wouldn't do the right thing even if you handed them fifty grand and told them the fate of the world depended on it. especially if it involves them having to roll off the couch and actually put effort in, unless the key to saving the earth happens to be located within their bag of potato chips
memes aside, majima's moral compass operates on the basis of 'the world has wronged me. nobody did the right thing when i needed them to. why should i help them now that the tables have turned'? as far as they're concerned, kindness is weakness and a direct route to betrayal. the only way to make it is to rely solely on themself - even if that means pushing other people over directly in the path of the angry grizzly bear. survival of the fittest.
in other words, no, no they will not help granny getting mugged by a pack of rabid raccoons unless there's some kind of benefit in it for them. they've got a softer spot for the youngins' and might be slightly more inclined to not just stand there and let them get mauled, but they're certainly not going to go out of their way to do anything.

Edit: 20. Fail - How does your character respond to failure, in themselves or others? What do they consider their most inherent failure?
Depending on the severity of the failure, he'd either move on from it or becoming overwhelmingly mad.
Their biggest failure was not being able to help a friend in a time of need and losing them forever, which they blame themselves for constantly.

Stubborn as all hell about his own standards and beliefs (e.g. he will blow up fascists), but is not in the business of imposing it on others. Joon Ho will internalize other people's wisdom...over time. Usually a bit too preoccupied to engage at the time. Things come back to him as he makes connections, and one of the beliefs he's stubborn about is continuous learning and improvement. That includes himself.
Literally all his life. Mechanical Engineer by trade, my guy will learn anything that'll help him build cool things. He studies the traditional way, gets a feed of the most updated research by key word searches, and best practices, and publications. He will learn from other experts. And he will learn by trial and error - FAFO, if you will.
