Character Meme: Rafe and Izzy!

Izzy
1. Izzy can switch (quite literally) quickly from one mood to another - shifting from outgoing to anxious, bored to excited, and overall tends to throw off both friends and enemies.
2. He has a very one-track mind and can be easily distracted, leading him and others to frustration with his inability to stay focused on a task during tumultuous situations.
3. He's fascinated with human functions and wants to know what food tastes like, what it's like to feel rain and sunshine, comfort and pain - he isn't advanced enough to experience any of these things.
4. Whatever it is that he's doing, you can bet Izzy will do it with the utmost passion. He cares a lot about a lot of things, to a point of obsession sometimes.
5. He's a hopeless romantic, even though he lacks any real romantic feelings. It's a part of his desire to be more like humans, and humans tend to fixate on romance. He tends to express himself in fairly extreme emotions for this reason as well, despite not necessarily feeling those extremes.
6. He collects tons of junk that he believes will someday come in handy. He hates throwing anything out, as he's positive he'll find a use for it at some point.
7. Despite getting into trouble a lot, Izzy's a good caretaker figure, and he understands human needs far more than Rafe does, although he tends to take things a bit too far in sheltering Alex and badgering her to make sure she's comfortable and satisfied.
8. Izzy's impressionable and can be influenced by others. However, he does have some deeply-rooted beliefs that can't be changed, no matter the situation. With a more limited emotional capacity when compared to Rafe, his surface reactions don't necessarily reflect true empathy.

Rafe
1. While technologically advanced and highly intelligent, Rafe's emotional intelligence is equivalent to about a 5 year old human's when he first encounters Alex. He's plenty capable of appearing suave and human when he needs to be, but he is selfish and stubborn, sees many of his destructive acts as inconsequential, and he isn't the best reactor when coping with unfamiliar, sometimes painful feelings.
2. He's very focused and able to multitask with ease. Rafe can filter through multiple conversations and record key information, and is able to pinpoint threats via hypersensitive sound detection and different modes of vision.
3. He does lack extensive touch and smell senses, they're more limited than a human's experience. He can identify chemicals in the air, temperatures, and whether or not he is damaged. Real physical pain is only experienced via specific electrical impulses, but it can be absolutely crippling to him.
4. Rafe loves music, even going so far as to create his own sporadic chords. This is something which baffles the roboticists and engineers behind him. Some of his favorite artists are Queen, Weezer, CCR, The Black Keys, and The Who.
5. At first, Rafe is rather indifferent to thrills and danger, but when Alex begins to go from afraid and skittish to adrenaline-pumped and ready for adventure, he starts to take pleasure in taking risks mostly from her reactions.
6. He always wants the upper hand. Even when not openly asserting himself, Rafe follows no orders, and is a smooth talker and very persuasive when he wants to be. The only exception is Alex, whom he grows to be very protective of, and whom he learns to trust in, especially when it comes to human instinct - something he lacks completely, as he relies heavily on rational thought and probability.
7. Because of his emotional immaturity, when Rafe does begin to develop more feelings, he experiences them on a very intense level. For this reason, he's in a constant battle with himself, not trusting nor wanting to react to these new emotions, while simultaneously wanting to fight hard for what he thinks is important.
8. Rafe doesn't consider himself a hero or crusader. He does want better lives for machines, but at the expense of humans a lot of the time, and he still puts himself before others, utilizing comrades however he sees fit. It takes a lot to make him feel remorse, but he does care more than he allows himself to show over time.
