definitely novelty. stability is rather antithesis to sammy’s whole mad scientist/doctor schtick. creating new, interesting things or working on making things that already exist into someone unique and unusual is definitely his Whole Thing

charity, giving those who don’t trust you something for free, that can garner most people’s trust rather quickly. honesty is, more often than not, a moot option for samael

possibility, of course. she wouldn’t be where she is without taking a lot of risks, mostly just to see what happens

a mixture of both, especially considering she’s a psyker, he has both, having been born w his innate ability/mutation and then working for years to hone her biomancy to perfection. but in others he definitely looks for those that put in effort as they are generally more valuable in sammy’s mind

petty, petty vengeance. she holds grudges forever, never forgetting and never forgiving (unless the person is begging for forgiveness then he will humbly bestow upon them his mercy)

wahhh thank you frayyyy!!! i love you and your huge brain as well :D!!!!

this definitely depends on how oz is feeling, he genuinely makes up his mind before people give him advice but if he’s feeling particularly vulnerable or unstable in his relationship with whoever is giving him advice he will listen to them. but when it comes to gort he will just listen to him and not necessarily question what the man’s intentions are..absolutely dickmitized

oz does in fact like being told what to do, he’s lost a lot of his own capability of free will (in his own head, he very much has free will) so doing as someone else bids him is kinda his form of “acts of service” as a love language. he’s a very well trained good doggy to those who know how to leash him properly (i.e gort) :)

hmm, technically she does love a good mystery, especially when it regards people more as puzzle pieces, she was, after all, a politician for the inquisition for a significant part of his career during the great crusade. but actually sitting down and doing a physical board-game-esque puzzle, eh, he’d rather get someone else to do it for her

ohh, this is interesting. in the either short or incredibly long period of time (it was around 9000 years but warp time is weird) that she spent within tzeentch’s crystal labyrinth, sammy does in fact have overwhelming anxiety-inducing nightmares of simply wandering the maze-like halls of his patron powers domain. she wakes up sweaty and scared but doesn’t remember his dream long enough to really set in stone a map of the place if he is to ever go back

i do think oz covets a sense of safety, mostly its a sense of security. oz fears taking a lot of chances due to the crippling idea of failure

i have two ways to answer this question? one, that oz himself hasn’t had to put much effort into being a paladin, especially a conquest paladin, because his body and talents were built for him by his patron :) on the flip-side of what oz appreciates in others is definitely effort, seeing the lengths people will go to for something reminds him of himself before his current pact situation
