This is just a first impression-like thing. If any of you feel like I've gotten your characters' personlities and/or attitude towards my characters wrong just let me know. Also, if you want to have more or less of a relationship with my guys, that's just fine, too.

[hider=”First Impressions” for Jacques and Ruben]
[b]Ruben[/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]It's sort of weird to describe how I feel about Ruben. Of course, I care about him. We've been together almost every day of our lives. But he's sort of fake. He'll just go along with anything that other people want to do, even if it's not something he likes to do. I might protect him a bit more than I should, but I can't help it. He's my baby brother, ya kno'?[/i]

[b]Jacques[/b]
[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]It's hard to say, really. Jacques is my brother; my twin brother. I love him to death and all that, but he's just so... much, sometimes. I really wish he'd just lay off of me sometimes, so I can get to do things my own way. And I really wish he'd stop being such a jerk to other people; he's making it sort of hard for me to make friends.[/i]

[b]Ilyaas Mahmud Al-Shabaab [/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]I don't really like him. I don't dislike him, either. I just sort of … nothing him. I realize he's there, of course. He's nice enough, I guess, I just don't really want to, ya kno', be friends or anything.
Ruben likes him well enough, though, so I'm kinda dragged into conversation every now and then.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]Mahmud is all right. He's nice, easy to talk to and not the pushy sort that takes over the conversation. He's sort of old, but it's not like he can help that. I like talking to him well enough and I think I might even consider him someone I would call a friend.
Jacques doesn't seem to like him much, though, so I try to keep him at a distance. Jacques, that is, not Mahmud.[/i]

[b]Piper Hannah [/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]You know, I'm not the type of person that really respect other human beings, however assholish that sounds, but Piper is one tough cookie. She hasn't even got any powers, yet she tries her best against that mecha-making jackass of a technopath. She's got some spunk and I respect that.
Ruben has a bit of a crush on her, I think. I can tell because of the slight rise in his temperature, the distinct scent of his hormonal change and, well, because he's my twin brother and I know everything about him.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]Piper is, uhh, easy on the eyes. That's the first thing that comes to mind. She's also brave and cool and nice; I mean, she's got more going on that just her looks. She and her Fixers helped me get the parts I needed to construct my leg, so I'm eternally grateful to her.
For some reason, Jacques act sort of different when she's around. He's not as … jerkish. He acts kinda like a dog, however weird that sounds.[/i]

[b]Wendy[/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]She reminds me of a prey animal. She's kinda … meh. I kinda get the feeling that she doesn't like me, though that might just be my imagination.
Ruben likes her well enough, but he also find her attractive. Not “blood rushing to groin” attractive, but enough to cast an appreciative look at her when she isn't looking his way. He thinks I don't notice.[/i]
(A/N I'm going by the assumption that Wendy wouldn't like Jacques too much, due to the fact that he is kind of a jerk most of the time and your description of her personality made her seem like she wouldn't like that since he is pretty much hurtful to people without a second thought, even if it is not his outright intention to be hurtful.)

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]I don't really know how I feel about Wendy. I mean, she's nice and really friendly, but she always seems to be holding back a bit, like there's something more she wants to say, but yet doesn't at the same time.
Jacques acts like a super douche to her, for some reason. I really can't figure out why. She's so nice and all that even Jacques should at least tolerate her.[/i]
(A/N Again, going on the assumption that she wouldn't like Jacques very much, coupled with the fact that she doesn't like hurting people's feelings, she likely wouldn't want to tell Ruben that she thinks his brother is an asshole.)

[b]Naomi Mendez [/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]This chick knows what she's about. She's herself and she's proud of it; I can respect that. I haven't really talked to her much, since she sticks with her family most of the time. That's cool, though; I always have Ruben following me around like a lost puppy, anyways.
I think she's just about the only girl that Ruben doesn't sneak glances at, though I don't know why. She's attractive, for a woman, I think.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]I find her somewhat aloof, like she doesn't really want to bond with anyone, but that might just be because she sticks with her family the most.
Jacques tend to stare at her, which I'm pretty sure must freak the poor thing out. I don't know why he does it and I'm not sure I want to know. He can be a bit scary with his animal instincts and all that. Maybe he wants to eat her or something.[/i]

[b]Jeff[/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]Ignoring the fact that I want to lick every inch of his skin, I guess that I could consider Jeff something along the lines of a friend. He seems to understand the condition of my abilities a little better than most and he really wants to be a good guy.
Of course Ruben likes him. He instantly likes anyone that I get along with, even if its' just a little bit.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]It seems like he really has to exert himself in order to socialize, but he does a really good job of being nice.
Even Jacques seems to like him in a friendly manner, although he is not as stealthy as he thinks with his drooling.[/i]

[b]Katerina Sapienti [/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]She's shy and a total pushover. Not my cup of tea.
Ruben seems to have the same idea. Even if he does appreciate her appearance, her personality is not for him.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]She seems very distant and shy and I kind of get the feeling that she just goes along with anything.
Jacques says she's like me, but I don't really see it.[/i]

[b]Phoebe Evans [/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]I like this girl. She's sincere, she's herself and she actually want to know about my power. She's one of the few people who actually tries to get what parts of me are actually me and what parts are my instincts. It warms my heart, even if she is a little brat that I have to drag along when I go to the surface.
Ruben likes her, too. He likes everyone that I like. He likes her more than I do, though, heh.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]Her enthusiasm in learning new things is really something and I honestly do like her company, even if I don't really care for her asking about my power. She's cute, though. I mean, it's not like... Nevermind...
Jacques calls her “the pup” when she's not around. She might not know, but I think he's sort of adopted her.[/i]

[b]Kayin Okoro[/b]
[u]Jacques[/u]
[i]I don't like being around her. She freaks me out; especially when she gets all blank all of a sudden. I think the reason she freaks me out is, I dunno, her illness reminds me of what my powers do to me. I know it's not the same thing by a long stretch, but it's just ... It feels similar, to me. It feels weak, to me. Also, she smells. Not that she smells bad or anything, she just reeks of blood most of the time and I'm afraid I might go into bloodlust.
Ruben is always so careful around her; like he's trying to coax a cat out of hiding or something. He's very careful with his tone and facial expressions. Kinda makes me wish I had that kind of control over myself.[/i]

[u]Ruben[/u]
[i]It's hard to explain why I feel the need to be around her, but I do. It's sort of like she's a child, even though she's the same age as [/i]le chiot[i], ah, I mean the Puppy - the Phoebe - Phoebe. She's having trouble sleeping, too, like I do when Jacques isn't here. I've considered asking her to sleep with me, [/i]non, pas droit[i], I mean, like sleep next to me not the... other thing. I'm not like that.
Jacques seems terrified of her. I guess he can sense something that I can't, or maybe he's just uncomfortable with her condition. It's hard to say and we never really talk of big, important things like that.[/i][/hider]
