I'll go first!

Jayden has a recent habit of messing up Kousuke's hair that he usually spends hours fixing! It started when Kou was in his coma and Jayden wanted to somehow show his appreciation to him. He's always wanted to do it and when he got to, he just couldn't stop. Jayden loves playing with his hair now.

Kousuke has a nasty habit of swearing. It started when he began to rebel against him mom. He swears so much that he's begun to get creative with it. When they get older though, I'm sure he'll tone it down.

Anyways, here's my novel! Feel free to check it out or not!

Red: Sometimes wear's a bad brand of cologne.

Spoilers (but not super important ones) below!

Summary

Elliott hoards plastic. For the most part they don't keep a lot of unnecessary possessions, but they have extreme guilt over their inability to completely cut plastic out of their life, and so have a hard time just sending it to a landfill. Some stuff they're able to reuse, but they have a whole cupboard full of carefully rinsed plastics that they don't know what to do with. This and their rigid adherence to a routine are indicative of their general terror of uncertainty and sense of powerlessness.

Oh, this is a fun idea ! ^^
I think Alex has one of the worst habits. Eating at impossible hours and snacking a lot ! This is due to her profession and her lack of cooking skills ^^'
She's a contract killer and don't really get time to eat properly while she shadow a target. And since she don't like to cook at all, she would just rather open a can of beans or eat a snack instead of preparing a proper meal.

This is a pretty cool question.

My main character is Ami. Her bad habits are that she hides how she feels from others and is a bit egotistical. She tends to lose her temper pretty quick too, letting little comments get under her skin and rile her up.

Ivolice has a hard time listening to people, especially adults. She also bottles up a lot of her emotions and acts carelessly when it comes to hiding her feelings.

Faris has abandonment issues and is constantly nervous around other, especially men. She is also overly protective of those she does care about.

Piko is constantly alone as he has no home to return to and everything he once had he will never have back. He also has a curiousity that is generally inconvenient for others

The other two arent present in the story yet.

Amèlia: has the bad habit of judging others; she just learned it from her family, as they were from a small village and gossiping is everyday's activity there. Her family used to gossip and critizise a lot, and she felt a bit superior too because she was considered the most beautiful lady of her village. oh, how she will suffer in Hell assuming things of the demons...

Lucifer: he has some bad habits. One is assuming he is the most intelligent and the most beautiful being (probably his biggest weekness) and this is because in heaven he was considered the angel of wiseness and beauty. The other is burning things or even rooms when he is depressed, angry or anxious. It just comes from the need to see things burning as he somehow burns inside. He also has not a very rigid sleeping schedule or structured day as he got tired of an orderly life because of eternity.

Callis has a colosal inferiority complex and hides behind rules and regulations using them as a shield to avoid getting discriminated. He has a tendency to keep a profesional distance even with those who accept his mixed lineage.

Novus has a serious problem with respecting authority and can't keep his mouth shut. He will punch over his weight "social" class and most often than not he will be shut down without being able to actually do something, dismissed for not being nobility.

For my main dude; smoking, and drinking too much. It stems from loneliness, and loss; beyond that, I can't say too much, because spoilers.

The cigarettes and whisky help take the edge off.

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2021-06-01 01:47:16 UTC #10

Agony: Hitting Thesis in the back of the head. She does it almost compulsively. She treats people how she wants to in a hedonistic kind of way. Rude for the fun of it.

Thesis: He has absolutely no sense of what he should or should not say to people. He doesn't think about like "maybe this person doesn't want to hear this right now" it comes from his profession.

Duenna: She picks at her doll that she has. She loves the doll, but she also picks at the strings. She just has a need to do that to the things she loves.

Motif: Tends to take sides in arguments that don't concern or involve him. He just loves the attention.

Sequel: ...

My MC's name is Alist Glassheart but she had a different name in her past life. Her bad habit is slouching.

"Never in Alist's life did she experienced such [etiquette] class especially when she once worked at a construction site with her back bent from carrying her own hollow blocks. And once she left that brutal job, her posture remained at a slouching stance even while reading her web novels. Although she did a lot of parkour back in her days as a street rat like running and jumping on the rooves just get to the job site early, such body stretch didn't even help as that activity sucked out all her stamina and kept her hunching. At that time, it didn't matter whether she crawled on her four limbs just to get to work as fast as she could."

my MC is called msms. And he is a thieve. This is not a bad habit but putting me into his large bag is.

Now, imagine you are in front of him and he started to steal you, the first thing that comes to your mind is: " I wish I had had read TheMsMs comics to recognize his tactics''.

Because I am a good person and want you not to be in this position: I am giving you this link to save yourself

Note: " I wrote this letter in hurry since msms gave me only 1 minute break and then I will go back to the bag"
HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLP

TheOddFungi 2021-06-01 06:02:54 UTC #14

Shyba: He is much too hard on himself and is also too hesitant to act on what he wants, which creates a lot of problems. He also has a difficult time with personal boundaries due to this. Example: not being able to say 'no' when asked to do something he either doesn't want to do or cannot accomplish, but will try anyway because he has people pleasing tendencies. These all originated from years of abuse, so it's not his fault.

Kiara: She is forgetful due to complications from ADHD, so also not her fault. But she also has a hard time letting things go, so it eats at her and she has a hard time moving on from things and forgiving both others and herself (but this can also be attributed to her ADHD and the 'rejection sensitivity dysphoria' she has). She is also quite stubborn, which can be both good and bad at times.

iHateFridays 2021-06-01 11:41:48 UTC #16

Pfft my MC tends to hold grudges... probably comes from people bullying them :')

Kirieslawa 2021-06-01 12:02:40 UTC #17

Lech's bad habit is that he skips his meals and when he drinks alcohol he can go too far with it.

AwesomeSoFar 2021-06-01 12:11:02 UTC #18

Shiro grew up lonely, but the kids in his village adored strong warriors and he ended up feeling like he needs to be strong if he wants anyone to like him.

Julian often forgets his magic is all emotion-based and is supposed to be a secret. He also tends to shrink in on himself when he feels overwhelmed, opting not to talk and to hide as often as he's able. He'd rather get completely absorbed into daydreams or books than talk to anyone.

ReneVergence 2021-06-01 14:12:39 UTC #20

Kovreil has a habit of setting things on fire with magic when he gets mad. He has some trouble controlling his emotions and he's always had powerful magic, so sometimes they overflow together. He also tends to get into fights or make himself panic when he gets too emotionally invested in things.
