About Me:
One of nature's own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.About Melancholics:
The melancholic has been described as the temperament that longs for heaven so much that life on this earth always will be a disappointment. The depth and dedication of the melancholic will meet or exceed that of others, but his natural caution and slowness to embrace new courses of action can leave him with a sense of having no way to channel his profound ideals.
The melancholic will base his action on concepts often so lofty that other temperaments will be beyond comprehending the motivation. His reactions themselves, not only his ideals, will be of such duration that he will lack resilience when his extremely deep feelings meet with great resistance.
The melancholic will be inclined to seek a high degree of virtue. Even his frequent devotion to the service of others will ultimately be focused on pleasing whom his devotion is passionate. But those he serves will have an ability to hurt him to a degree surpassing other temperamental types will experience.
He will naturally assume that all human behaviour is based on his own consideration of lofty concepts. It may take years for a melancholic to develop any sort of closeness with those he meets, but then he is a most devoted friend or your worst enemy, and either will be "forever". The structure he has in his own life is a means to a greater end that he perceives. The melancholic is likely to "leave their mark" to quite an extraordinary extent when presented with the opportunity, but his Achilles heel is despair.
The melancholic is hardly out of touch with reality; rather, he is "so with it that he's beyond it." His reality is a blend of that of the real world and that of heaven. He knows that the union for which he longs cannot be fully attained in this life.
He is a deep thinker and has a good memory. On the weakness side, he can be picky, negative and more into theory than practice. When defending standards he will fight for what is right. A melancholic doesn't like change. He tends to be on time, thorough, and finish his job, though he may get lost in the details. . . . .
