zander driskell

personality:

MBTI: INTJ

Enneagram: 5w6 (The Investigator with The Loyalist wing)

Alignment: True Neutral

Zodiac: Aries

Percy Jackson Parent: Hecate

Pokémon Type: Fighting

Fighting Types love a competition. Possessed of a strong growth motivation, they are forever seeking new challenges and initiating fresh, unnecessary debates with the people around them. If some smiling, self-assured boy in your Political Science class decided to play Devil’s Advocate just for the fun of it, he was probably a Fighting Type — especially if he seemed to relish being hated by the whole room.

Fighting Types use everyone around them as a whetstone. Every interaction, every dispute, every challenge or invective thrown in their direction is fodder for their personal growth. They are adaptable and voracious learners, and laugh in the face of setbacks and danger. Fighting Types love backpacking, hiking, blundering their way through learning new languages, and joining social justice organizations when they aren’t even halfway informed on the issues yet. The more slow and contemplative among us may find them super irritating, but they’re probably gonna wind up being President some day.

Pokémon Subtype: Steel

Steels are total nerds. You might not get that impression from them at first — they may initially come across as intimidating, or a jock or a Rock Type. But at their core, Steels are all about facts, science, and worldly concerns. Steels bring reusable shopping bags to the grocery store. They will correct you pedantically if you say that buying new shoes gives you a dopamine hit. That’s not how dopamine works, they will say. You don’t care. But they do.

When you tell a Steel about a problem, they will try to fix it rather than listen sympathetically. They’re cold and analytical, but it’s not because they don’t care. Being cold and analytical is how they show that they care. Steels will offer to set up a password manager for you. If you say it sounds like too much of a pain, they’ll get concerned and give you a speech about web security. Unlike Grounds or Grasses, their lives can sometimes be a mess — they live in their heads, among facts, not in concrete reality.

bullet points:

• Zander really doesn’t trust easily and he constantly is questioning people’s motives, he doesn’t think the majority of people do things for him without wanting something in return and while he doesn’t always voice this opinion - you’ve got like ten dozen different brick walls to get through if you want to get ‘inside his walls.’ It’s not impossible by any means but it’s not easy.

• That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about people however, he actually cares a lot. He just finds trust, and caring about someone, as entirely different things. Like you could be an amazing friend, and still not trustworthy when push comes to shove at the end of the day, and that's completely fine in his eyes. He just assumes the worst of everyone until he actually knows what they're capable of, so until he thinks he's seen you at your absolute worst, rock bottom, the jury's forever still out on you.

• He doesn’t really like discussing his feelings, he expresses them; he feels them, but he doesn’t want to talk about them. He has to really trust you if he’s willing to actually tell you how he’s feeling when he’s upset/hurt instead of lashing out or just walking away from the situation without saying anything.

• Actually a bit of a dick if we’re going to be honest. Don’t ask Zander for his opinion unless you want it unfiltered because he will tell you how he truly feels. As he sees it, you shouldn’t have asked a question you didn’t want the answer to.

• The Driskells came from an extremely abusive household. Their father is an alcoholic, and their mother tends to work the hours he’s home, leaving the children to fend for themselves. In turn, Zander resents both his parents. He took off running with his sister after she turned 18, he hasn’t looked back.

• His sisters are very important to him, he’s in constant contact with Grace and he tries to monitor Balo when he can, intervening in ways she won’t find out about if he feels like he needs to. His parent? No contact, he wants nothing to do with them. Don’t even bring up the idea of talking to them to him, please and thank you!

• Not very fond of socializing, hates it almost as much as he hates the word “sorry.”

• Extremely into space, he loves it even more than he loves his motorcycle and coffee. He’s always dreamed of creating spaceships and satellites, and his dream job is astronautical engineering (a subfield of aerospace also known as rocket science).
