Bit of a seasonal question, with Halloween almost upon us: How well can your OCs stomach horror-related things? If they're into the spooky stuff, is there any kind specific they gravitate towards?

Polly loves camp horror. She's not a big fan of excessive gore/jumpscares.

Wily is pretty jumpy and gets invested, but is too rational for any fear to stick with him.

Salvador is a total scaredy-cat with horror stuff.

Phillip is the type of guy to be laughing when everyone else is screaming.

Mary LOVES horror stuff. Whether its movies, games, or books, she has a good time. Not too surprisingly she gravitates towards stories involving ghosts.

Oooh... Ky is a total wuss. No matter the medium she's very easily spooked, she's also not very experienced with things like movies and can't wrap her head around them not being real at times. So... Very easy to scare!

Tyler eats that stuff up. He isn't into anything specific, though he does love Haunted House stuff and Ghost stories. He honestly isn't afraid of horror and will tease those about it, though you can surprise him with a jumpscare or two

Tyler is usually the first one to start scary stories or will enter a Haunted House, it excites him more than anything

After everything Argentium family has been throughout - mundane, supernatural, or otherwise, the things that would scare a normal person doesn't phase any of them in the slightest; they've pretty much built a complete immunity towards anything horror-related. One of their famed traits amongst the [Five Unovan Royals] is their utter fearlessness.

Though, in the presence of others - to either play along or simulate some form of normalcy, they would pretend to be "scared", even though they would internally make the Saitama 'Okay...' Face because of how boring and non-threatening that piece of horror truly is to them.

Estella: In classic Estella fashion, she can totally handle spooky stuff! Just not as well as she THINKS she can, haha. She puts on a brave face.

Sirius: Likes schlocky horror stuff like Final Destination, but also appreciates smarter thrillers. He'd be the guy talking your ear off about Black Phone was pretty good, while poking a bunch of fun at something like Insidious or the more recent Smile.
