4. Battle-Weary Often Silent Cool Guy Who Doesn't Care And Becomes Very Popular
Depressive Personality Disorder (Gloomy outlook on life, cheerlessness, negative, prone to feeling guilt, critical towards self) Patients: Auron (FFX), Vincent (FFVII), Balmung (.hack), Zegram (Rogue Galaxy), Jazz (Eternal Sonata), Frog (Chrono Trigger), Squall (FFVIII) This guy is the poster boy for gamers and it's pretty obvious as to why. He's quiet, nonchalant, and doesn't care for anything social. Sound familiar? He has the personality of a stereotypical gamer - with or without the disorder. But designers are smart so they give this guy everything a gamer wants: awesome sword-fighting skills, ability to lead, good looks, muscles of a god, and the almighty trench coat - or cape. In other words, this is the guy every gamer wishes they were. These guys usually suffer from depression as some event in their past has forced them to become so cynical. They're lone wolves who could care less about teamwork and only go along for the ride because.....because.....they have some sort of personal vendetta? Whatever it is, it's impossible to be like this guy without being deemed creepy so don't even try. Did I mention he usually ends the game happy? Real people with this disorder are more likely to seek psychotherapy. How poetic.
