The Many Sides of Trevin

Resting: Trigger - being sleepy. Typically can be seen during the night, in bed, in the natural environment of blankets and pillows. Tends to occur once a day. Lasts for hours.

Funny: Trigger - people having fun. Sometimes mistaken for being rude due to interspersion of sarcasm and deadpan snarking. Very popular state during large group events. Characterized by smiles and a weird glint in the eyes. Signs vary from being a very vocal to a quiet with quick interjections state. Goofy facial expressions may be involved. Sporadic and very contextual in frequency. Lasts for minutes to hours.

Thoughtful: Trigger - serious business. Seen in a variety of habitats including work, school, Bible Study, and when approached for advice. Looks at the long term gains instead of short-term. Rarely smiles, and vocabulary switches to verbose language, as well as detailed explanation and revisions clarifying previous points. Seen at least once a day, if not several times per day. Lasts for minutes to hours.

Gaming: Trigger - playing games. Seen only in a very localized region surrounding gaming mediums, be it computers, board games, card games, or word games. Will often play-to-win unless playing-to-make-sure-everyone-has-fun. Latter state is the default unless serious other play-to-win avatars are present. Often involves excited chatter, exaggerated movements, and heightened awareness both in audio and visual perception. Very fast reflexes. A relatively endangered siting, happening at most a few times per week. Lasts for minutes at a time.

Emo: Trigger - feeling alone. Seen in the setting of a car or empty room. Often as a result of either not enough social interaction or being surrounded by happiness and not connecting with said happiness. Thoughts tend to race to self-improvement and desire for deep relationships. Also may induce lengthy blog posts or philosophical ramblings. Often seen at least twice a week. Lasts for hours.

Cooking: Trigger - out of food to eat. Localized to the kitchen region. Often associated with sharp objects and high heat. Can never cook only one serving, except for breakfast. Regularly head is shaken when something is mistimed or forgotten. Exudes control over environment and then relaxes control to allow the natural flow. Seen once a week. Lasts for an hour.

Managing/Planning: Trigger - something to be planned. Also covers acquisitions. Details will be hunted down and shot. Scheduling will involve many buffer zones to ensure adequate time and minimal indigestion from nerves. Optimization is pursued. Often coupled with Thoughtful state. Portrays outward ease and complacency. No matter how long in this state, will always regret the minor details that didn't go as planned. Seen sporadically. Lasts for hours.

Nervous: Trigger - unknown and new situations. Outward appearances of darting eyes, sweating, and sometimes shaky hands. A more recent sighting as pressures grew to perform to now noticed expectations. Associated with intense situations where insufficient Planning preceded. Performances are strong triggers. Postmortem is avatar state was not required. Seen sporadically. Lasts for hours or until situation is resolved.

Masked: Trigger- default avatar. Intentionally recognizing and ignoring certain norms, perceptions, misconceptions, and stylistic nuances. Outward appearance often conflated with Thoughtful and Funny. Seen several times a day. Lasts for hours.
