miko is a silent observer. he speaks little to strangers, often giving one-word answers or very curt, short responses. he intentionally comes off as unapproachable and bitter to avoid most social interaction. he doesn't like small talk and in overwhelming situations will become non-verbal. especially around copious amounts of blood. the easiest way to convince him to do something is with the promise of a feed.

given that miko tries to last months without feeding at a time this also contributes to his often grumpy behavior. he's more or less starving to prevent himself from going overboard as he had done in the past. he is constantly afraid of letting his thirst overcome him when he feeds.

to close friends he can become softer. he can crack a crude sarcastic joke once in a while and occasionally shows affection. over time he has formed the habit of protecting smaller creatures stemmed from his temporary life as a pet to a young girl. he can become very protective of those he considers close friends or 'beneficial'.
