Strengths & Weaknesses:

STRENGTHS

  • INTELLIGENT — Smart enough to perfectly pretend at politeness, form nihilistic philosophies at the ripe old age of twelve thirteen, and claw his way to another reality with little more at his disposal than his powers and wits. Henry is thoughtful and quietly clever, even if he doesn’t always voice his thoughts aloud.

  • PATIENT — His facade of niceness wouldn’t work if he wasn’t at least somewhat patient, but Henry’s patience extends further than somewhat. He waited twenty years, imprisoned in a lab, before seeking the right opportunity to try to escape. And even after that, he persists for seven years in a hellish alternate dimension doing much the same.

  • PSIONIC TALENT — Henry is currently the most powerful psionic individual in his canon. He was the original test subject in Hawkins National Laboratory, his abilities were what all the following subjects were modeled to emulate, and he’s more versatile than all of them combined. For the (mostly) normie cast, he is both terrifying and futile to face head-on without a plan.


  • WEAKNESSES

  • ANGRY — Beneath the smiles, Henry possesses a lot of anger directed at both humanity’s perceived flaws and the circumstances wrought against him. He believes he’s spent his entire life imprisoned and misunderstood in some way, and he will always be resentful of that. This is the foundation on which so much of his character is built, and it runs very, very deep, often manifesting as cruelty when it comes out.

  • MISANTHROPIC — Henry despises what he believes is human artificiality. He sees the mundanity of everyday life and routine as rote and tiresome, and he describes society’s enforcement of order as a “straitjacket.” He will never appreciate the performative nature of humanity and refuses to be controlled by it, and he tends to assume the worst of people in general rather than the best.

  • HYPOCRITICAL — It is also worth noting, however, that Henry is a huge hypocrite. He sees flaws in others around him but never chooses to apply them to himself, and boy howdy, they sure do apply. He is just as prone to human fallacy as the humans he looks down on so much.

    It's also worth noting that Henry will still be inhuman for the duration of his time in the game; he'll just outwardly retain/regain his human appearance due to Hotel Shenanigans.
