powerdealerSeth is a very reserved person, and is used to being the only sane man in a bunch of pretty weird people. He's reasonably clever and logical, though it's not unknown for his emotions to get the better of him, particularly when driven by guilt or protectiveness. He can be a bit shy and awkward when he's not entirely sure how to interact with someone, and he keeps his cards close to his chest, often putting on an act to hide his true feelings until he trusts someone. When he does, though, he's generally friendly and likeable, with a sarcastic and snarky sense of humour, and actually quite sweet and thoughtful. He can be incredibly self-sacrificing and sensitive.
Generally he's pretty cool and calm, and capable of being both polite and rude depending on the situation, with enough sense to have tea with someone's grandma, but enough guts to stand up to people and tell them to fuck off. He's not afraid to handle difficult subjects, though he often has trouble knowing what to say. If he gets attacked, he'll get defensive and apologetic if it's by someone he cares about, but will merely smirk it off if there's someone he doesn't care about. He can have a temper when provoked, but he's not too touchy and will usually brush things off.
While he's patient and reliable, he doesn't shy away from action, and he's not squeamish. He loves the rush of dealing, and cares very little about the law, thanks to growing up in an environment where the law cared very little about him. His power and all the messed up situations his friends get into have gotten him involved in some pretty fucked up shit, and he generally takes thing as they come without too much fuss. He's had to bury quite a few bodies by now, though it's not a thing he enjoys. He's never willingly cruel, and will always go for the least harmful option - if he doesn't, you can be sure you've struck a nerve with him. However, he is much more likely to steep himself in guilt than thoughts of revenge.
He's independent and self-reliant, and can sometimes find it a bit difficult to imagine things from others' point of view, at least initially. He can be a bit selfish or thoughtless, but he comes through in the end, and he usually criticises himself for such things far more than anyone else does. He tends to keep most people at an arms length, but he loves and trusts strongly once you've gotten through to him, and he's pretty forgiving. He is, however, not quite as forgiving of himself, and he will always apologise when he considers himself in the wrong.
Seth doesn't consider himself a hero or even a particularly moral person, and he often tries to brush things off as not his problem, except if it affects someone he likes. He doesn't always consider how his actions affect other people - often because he underestimates how important he can be to someone - and it takes a long while for him to realise he needs to use his power dealing more responsibly. However, he's a lot more righteous and kind-hearted than he gives himself credit for.
After his imprisonment in the Rebel base, he suffers from PTSD. He's gotten better at functioning day to day, but he still has frequent nightmares, and a particularly strong reminder can launch him into a panic attack or strong flashbacks. He's still struggling with lack of self-worth, anxiety, and feelings of detachment. He's not unfamiliar with suicidal impulses and self-destructive behaviour, though it's not as big a problem anymore. However, he'll often be quite nervous and vigilant when in a public space, and he's become intensely claustrophobic thanks to both his imprisonment and nearly being crushed to death as a result of a power that backfired - something which has also caused him to be a bit more selective about which powers he takes from people.
