Phoenix -CENSORED-

Playlist:


Personality:
Phoenix is a genius, able to focus all energy on a single problem until it's solved. He is perceptive, intelligent, knowledgeable and very skillful in a few areas, confident anything is possible if he can focus all energy and concentrated thought on it. This sub-type, however, is more internal, looking inward for answers, always deep in thought and not concerned with appearance - crumpled clothes, old tennis shoes. The interesting aspect of Phoenix is that, although he is most comfortable in his own mind working on a problem, he is actually imaginative and charming to others. He has a quiet kind of charm that draws others to him The Albert Einstein type.

Flaws:
Phoenix's character flaw is based on the incorrect belief that being self-sufficient will free him from needing things from others. He avoids intrusions and demands by others. During travels and internal growth, he learns that the more self-sufficient he is, the less available to resources and nurturing from others he becomes.

When he's under pressure, he gets involved in rampant thoughts without following through on anything. When he's relaxed and secure, he's more straight forward and forthcoming without getting bogged down in thought.

Phoenix may suffer from Bipolar I Disorder People with this disorder experience severe mood swings from extreme depression to exaggerated happiness. This is also known as manic-depressive illness. His mood usually swings from overly energetic and irritable (mania) to sad and hopeless (depression) and then back again, with periods of normal moods between. Experience of psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or paranoia indicates Bipolar I Disorder; the presence of such symptoms rules out Bipolar II.

Childhood:
Phoenix experienced a traumatic re-birthing that erased his memories causing him to have to spend decades in mediation just to pull himself back together. But unfortunately he was unable to piece together memories of his family, parents or siblings if he had any. In his current state of mind, he is orphaned. This does not bother Phoenix as his Phoenician nature causes a natural disconnect with past and present lives. Normally when a phoenix re-births, all memories are kept intact, but on occasions of a traumatic re-birth, memories is one of the first things wiped. This can be on purpose to forget a traumatic event, or due to an accident.

Education:
Having had a lot of education, Phoenix has proven he loves learning. He can be social when opinions are being discussed but tends to do all his deep thinking alone. His interests are diverse and esoteric with a profound understanding of the world.

Arc:
Phoenix spends so much time in his head, thinking about concepts and philosophies. He is not extroverted by a long shot, but quietly loves to share what he has discovered with others. Phoenix has insight into the world that astounds others, knowing a lot about a few things. He's charming, quick-witted and clever. He also keeps secrets very well - no one can break into his vault of secrets - not even those closest to him.

Dialogue examples:
"Why are you sorry. After all he did admit to coming here uninvited."

Internal Dialogue:
"My body is on fire! Why is my body burning! I see the flames on my skin but I don't feel any heat or pain from them? In fact... my body seems to be growing and developing as the flames burn me. My back! Something is growing out of my back! Is there, is there a pair of wings growing out of my back! What am I?!"

Psychological Report:
Phoenix can be perceptive, intelligent and independent in a relationship. Others are often drawn to his self-sufficiency and ability to remain detached in the face of chaos. Eventually others feel rejected by his need for privacy and alone time. He's excited by learning from others, but sometimes takes awhile to warm up to people. He tends to be attracted to Type 8s (The Boss) (known for pushing through without too much thought) for friends and generally avoids Type 7s (The Cheerleader).

Phoenix's psychological change moves him toward being more comfortable with what he knows about the world, an acceptance that he has done enough research and thought - it's now time to live life. Perhaps he realizes what was missed during all this internal thinking. He may have missed seeing a child grow up or missed having a relationship. At this point, this subtype, becomes more outgoing and involved with people by teaching or mentoring others of this type. He learns to give, so energy flows outward instead of inward.
