WOC! (Whoa)
Type overview
Whoa. How am I this type?
WOC! runs two operating systems at once. The surface system reacts loudly, tosses out exclamations, and keeps the emotional color high. The background system stays unsettlingly calm and thinks: yes, this tracks. You are expressive without being blindly reckless. You know when something is ridiculous, but you also know better than to waste your life trying to fix every idiot you encounter.
