On the care, handling and feeding of Randwulves
Randwulves are elusive, reserved and retiring by nature. They are rather easy-going about most things in life but can be really quite prickly about others. Optimistic, they trust most people implicitly until given reason not to, in which case it will be difficult to regain it. They will go out of their way for others, dislike being taken advantage of but are still ready to be there in an emergency, even for their worst enemy. They try as best as they can to be considerate of others, but due to straight up social retardedness or cluelessness, especially the Sagittarian ones, they often fail to be. If you consider yourself a friend you will take them to task for anything wrong they’ve done and they will work to rectify the problem and strive never to repeat their mistake. They really do mean well but being doofuses sometimes they go over the line and so they really and honestly do appreciate being told where that is. In return they expect the same level of consideration they give you and if they consider you a friend they will let you know when you’ve messed up. If you don’t take them seriously when they tell you something that bothers them though, then from that point forward they will find it hard to take you seriously and will likely demote you to from being a friend to being just an acquaintance with the according decrease in rights and priviledges. One way that tells them you aren’t taking them seriously during this phase is offering a non-apology that goes along the lines of “I’m sorry you feel that way”. Failing to tell them when they messed up, putting it down to something like it being Randwulves being Randwulves is another.
One of the things that bother Randwulves is being ditched. If you go out someplace with them, do not leave them in the lurch without a really good reason or explanation. When you do that you’re basically telling them sorry about their luck but you have something better to do. If prior arrangements had been made however, or certain pre-requisites had been discussed prior, then that’s a totally different matter, and though they won’t be upset, they will still be quite concerned for your safety because they are quite protective. Same with being stood up. If they budget time for you they are more than willing to accept you cancelling plans with them, if you do so in advance, and not until some time afterward. Otherwise you’re telling them sorry about their luck but you have something better to do. They dislike that.
Randwulves are not very effusive by nature. They don’t throw meaningless compliments out there because they feel it diminishes the impact of when a true compliment is given. Accordingly another thing that bothers Randwulfves is being trolled for compliments. They will rebel against it.
Randwulves are proud, and quite vain. They really like acknowledgement of the things they’ve done for people, but being reserved and disliking effusiveness prefer a simple thank you and a handshake/hug rather than a big production because it does embarrass them. Being proud they dislike when people try to put themselves above them or think they are more important than them, see the paragraph previous to this one about being ditched or stood up. They always acknowledge and appreciate any skills that a person may have that far surpass theirs though.
Randwulves try to live and let live and prefer a world that feels the same way. They know the world doesn’t though because Randwulves aren’t Pollyannas. They try to see both sides of an argument and are willing to change their minds on some things and will hold firmly to others. They are patient with people with opposing views unless it’s about something really egregious but lose that patience with them when they make things personal, or often when as a neutral party they see both sides make things personal with each other. That bothers Randwulves a lot and they will disassociate themselves from the combatants.
Being upbeat, Randwulves prefer to surround themselves with people of a similar mindset. Supportive, they will try their best to cheer up and help anyone who is down and out. But that help and support only goes so far if the person fails to do anything to help themselves. That can be seen as a failing on a Randwulf’s part and they apologize for it but they only have so much to give, the well not being endless, and they will unfortunately distance themselves from you.
Randwulves have a tendency to tease people they like and trust. It’s because they feel there’s a mutual trust between you and them and they can appreciate being teased back. As above though, when Randwulves go too far they appreciate being told to stop and will tell you when you’ve gone too far. One-upmanship is not teasing however. They dislike that and always avoid doing it to you. When Randwulves stop teasing you, it’s very likely because they don’t trust you anymore.
When it come to feeding Randwulves, they are pretty easy-going about most foods, always willing to any new food a try. They aren’t keen at all on eggs, liver, certain styles of cooking of potatoes though they are good with fries and chips and they consider brussel sprouts to be Satan’s dingleberries. Though as one would expect from the wulf part of Randwulf they are quite carnivorous, they will eat vegetables on occasion.
This is a work in progress, with more to be added as it comes to them.
