My Spike’s ego is fragile. However, he’s not afraid to make a fool of himself if he feels the reward will be worth more than the amount of humiliation he has to endure.

My Spike likes an audience. Despite being self-motivated, he doesn’t do anything for personal gain, he does things to present a certain image of himself to others. He wants others to see him as he sees himself.

My Spike reacts. He is a victim of his own emotions, led by them instead of rational thought. He is impatient, and often looses his temper when things don’t go his way.

My Spike is an elitist. He has no tolerance for ignorance, and he’s not afraid to point out your flaws or embarrass you in front of others. He is brutally honest and has developed a fondness for making others visibly uncomfortable.

My Spike is adaptable. He is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he’s fearless in his pursuit of pleasure. He regrets nothing, and enjoys unlife to its fullest.

My Spike is morally ambiguous. He knows the difference between right and wrong, but he’s not concerned by either. He lives by his own set of rules, and these rules are manipulated whenever it suits him.

My Spike is unpredictable and fickle. Spike gets bored quickly and is constantly looking for new ways in which to amuse himself. Don’t diagnose him with ADD. Though he may be borderline, I believe it has more to do with his Victorian upbringing.

My Spike is dangerous. He understands human nature for all the wrong reasons. He knows your motivation, not because he’s smart, not because he used to be a poet, and not because he used to be human or because he’s closer to human than most vampires. Spike understands human nature because he has learned it by hunting them.

My Spike is a loner. He doesn’t make friends. While there are a few people that have been in his life and may even have affected him in a positive way, he lacks the ability to trust (yes, even Buffy. After their torrid affair already ended, Buffy at one point tries to pull up his shirt to see his injuries and Spike gets all Victorian modesty with the ‘don’t touch me’ look. It was a moment you’d easily miss if you blinked, but it spoke volumes about the irony of their relationship. Despite all your pre-conceived notions about abuser and victim, it made very clear who still felt vulnerable and who didn’t). This eventually alienates him from even the most sympathetic of people.
