- Augustus Grayson + (With a natural thirst for knowledge that s … With a natural thirst for knowledge that showed itself early in life, Augustus was often given the title of "bookworm" as a child. While this have may been intended as an insult by his peers, he grew to identify with it and is even proud of how well-read he has become, greatly enjoying his broad and deep body of knowledge. A paradox to many observers Augustus appears to live by glaring contradiction that nonetheless make perfect sense - at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Augustus is at once an almost starry-eyed idealist whilst also being the bitterest of cynics. But this is because he believes that with effort, intelligence, and consideration nothing is impossible, while at the same time he believes the average person is too lazy, short-sighted, inept, or self-serving to actually achieve anything of note. Rules, limitations, and traditions are anathema to Augustus. Everything is open to question and reevaluation - and if he finds a way, Augustus will often act unilaterally to enact his technically superior, sometimes insensitive, and almost always unorthodox methods and ideas. This isn't to be misunderstood as impulsiveness, Augustus is a being of rationality no matter how attractive his end goals may be, and thus every idea whether internal or external in origin must pass his ruthless and ever-present "is this going to work?" and "what does this do for the family" filter. This mechanism is applied at all times, to all things, and all people. In short, Augustus is defined by his tendency to move through life as if it were a giant chess board, with pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics and strategies (with more than a few contingency plans), attempting to constantly outmanoeuvre his peers in order to maintain control of any situation whilst maximising his freedom to do as he needs. This isn't to imply that he acts without conscience, but his own ego and emotional needs are tertiary to the rationality and the pragmatism that drive he and his kin.the pragmatism that drive he and his kin.)
