Personality and Empty Boasts
Personality & Empty Boasts |
|---|
| | Personality |
Dale is lawful mean—he has a rigid idea of how adventurers should behave (arrogant, superior, critical) and plays the part perfectly, despite having no actual experience to back it up. He talks down to everyone, especially those who have actually done what he only pretends to aspire to.
|
|---|
| | The Truth |
Despite his haughty attitude, he has never held a real weapon or seen a real kaiju up close. His knowledge comes from stories, secondhand accounts, and his own imagination. When real adventurers share their experiences, he listens intently while pretending not to care—then repeats their stories later as his own.
