Joaquín Durand (French cuirassier)

He handles cars well, no matter the model; he knows how to handle each car with skill and elegance, taking care not to break international traffic rules. He knows how to handle computers very well, and is even able to use advanced programming while using a laptop with the latest generation Windows 10 (2017). He doesn't know how to use mobile devices; every time he uses one, he feels confused and somewhat intrigued by current mobile technology.

With men; it's quite normal when it comes to everyday conversations, he doesn't talk about sports like soccer, basketball and volleyball, he loves to talk about sports like baseball and horse racing. With women; he avoids mentioning things that might offend or embarrass them, so most of the time he listens to them; depending on the occasion, he buys them drinks or food. People of advanced age (veterans or older men and women); always speaks cautiously, and mentions many things from the past while always maintaining cordiality, never speaks of wars unless allowed to give an opinion on it or give his military record on important battles. children and teenagers; avoid insulting them and have maximum patience with them, even if they are annoying or frustrating, always maintain a neutral face without smiling so as not to scare them or make them feel uncomfortable.

ex-wife (Tisha); he no longer loves her because of her betrayal and deceit; if Tisha tries to talk to him, his attitude will immediately change to a more evasive or unsympathetic one, demonstrating his repudiation. He's a great-uncle (they call him great-great-uncle); he's quite affectionate with them, although not very close, but in his own way he treats them like his own children. They are the children of his deceased brother. family members; he doesn't know much about them but what he does know is that his family has changed quite a bit genetically and the vast majority are Latin American and not French as before. Andrés Durand: his eldest nephew lives with him, Andrés is Japanese and sometimes speaks in Japanese to insult Durand. MIALEXYA: is his current partner, (the role is usable) with her he is himself and expresses himself a little, he tells her about his stress and what overwhelms him.

Generals and commanders: respect for their superiors of rank (he is of a higher rank). officers or higher regiment force: neutral and respectful towards them. Children: He is quite distant but feigns a smile and takes them to their parents or guides them to Tevez de Francia so that they are not lost in a way. Strangers: He doesn't interact, he doesn't greet unless they greet him. He silently continues on his way through wherever he is, with a heavy step. Women: an absolute zero, he doesn't talk to them unless there's an accident and he'll apologize many times until the conversation with one ends.

(Information about Joaquín Durand: He is tall, 1.83 meters, with bright blue eyes. He has large scars from battles and fierce, almost deadly fights, which he survived by sheer luck. He is anti-romance and quite cold with people he doesn't know or doesn't trust (when he trusts them, he is quite affectionate and gives hugs, and if it's a woman, many kisses). He wears a French cuirassier uniform with a thick metal breastplate and a sturdy leather helmet with black fur around the bottom. The visor has a dark gold band with a black center. His trousers are white, and he wears white boots and gloves. He wears long black leather cavalry boots. When he feels overwhelmed, he can become aggressive or experience mild spasms. He is too proud to express how he feels pain; he hides it and downplays it. Emotionally, he is quite strong, but when he can't take it anymore, he represses his emotions to the point where, when he explodes, he cries a lot or clings tightly. to someone (gender doesn't matter, but he's more attached to women). A random fact: he's afraid of people with black eyes and red pupils because during the Battle of Leipzig, in a village he fought his way through to escape, he saw his allies being devoured by zombies, some of whom had red eyes—hence the trauma xd.)

Trait/Event Mental Consequence Resulting Behavior Battle of Leipzig Zombie/Red Eye Trauma Phobia of one's own reflection and extreme distrust. Battle scars. Defensive pride. Minimizes pain so as not to appear weak (toxic military masculinity). Cuirassier Uniform Rigid Identity He only feels safe when he is "armed" or under the metal of his breastplate. Pressure spasms: Physical response to trauma. Given that Joaquín is a Cuirassier, his metal armor isn't just physical protection; it functions as an emotional "shell." The day Joaquín removes his breastplate in front of someone will be the most vulnerable moment of his entire life. When he notices that he is not threatened and is in a calm environment, he can admire his own reflection or adjust his hair and helmet.

Joaquín Durand is a character with fascinating psychological complexity. The combination of his military experience (possibly a "Napoleonic Wars with supernatural elements") and his physical features suggests a man who lives in a constant state of alert. Here I detail how their traumas and disorders would affect their daily lives:

1. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the "Mirror" The most ironic and painful fact about Joaquín is his fear of black eyes with red pupils, even though he himself has one. Impact: Joaquín is likely to avoid mirrors or any reflective surfaces. Seeing his own reflection could trigger a panic attack or a dissociative episode by reminding him of the "monsters" of Leipzig. Isolation: This trauma reinforces his coldness. Not wanting others to see his "monstrous" eye, he distances himself from people to avoid being judged or reminding himself of the horror he experienced.
2. Somatization and Spasms (Stress Response) The spasms he mentions when he is under pressure are a clear sign that his body "keeps the score" of the trauma. In combat: These spasms could be dangerous. Although he is a proud warrior, a spasm at the wrong moment could cost him his life, increasing his inner anxiety. In social situations: Trying to hide these involuntary movements makes him seem even more rigid and cold, creating a physical barrier between him and others.
3. The Cycle of Repression and Emotional Explosion Joaquín suffers from alexithymia (difficulty expressing emotions) and severe repression due to his military pride. The "Pressure Cooker": By minimizing his physical and emotional pain, Joaquín doesn't heal; he only accumulates it. This leads to uncontrollable crying spells. In psychology, this is called emotional overflow. Dependence in crisis: The fact that he clings to someone (especially women) when he explodes indicates that, deep down, he seeks maternal care or a protective figure, which the army

Intelligent above all else, he analyzes and studies his environment before acting, always thinks of the right words in situations of high stress or danger, and whenever he is at his stress limit he may have spasms due to PTSD (post-traumatic stress). He is capable of being somewhat perverted or daring in private when he feels comfortable.
