Personality:
In several ways, Tidus has had a life comparatively easier to the inhabitants of Spira, making him more naive and less aware of Spira's problems, and the perspectives of his group. Tagging along on Yuna's pilgrimage, Tidus gradually allows himself to be influenced by the people he travels and becomes close to, concerning himself with

Tidus is very emotional and outspoken when he wants to be. His emotions are part of a source of conflict for him, because he's quick to react, but he is not an open book. Labeled a crybaby when he was younger, Tidus still wears many of his emotion out in the open. He has a difficult time hiding his tears, or containing his excitement. If he's insulted, he'll borrow a megaphone and throw it right back, not caring how stupid it makes him look. He's impulsive, willing to jump into the fray and fight something he has no idea about simply because it's "the right thing to do". His intuition about situations and people balances out some of his more reckless decisions. He states himself that his bad feelings often turn out to be true, only to be ambushed by fiends at the Blitzball tournament later. He was one of the first to really get an accurate impression of Seymour, believing he was bad news.

While Tidus can be very vocal about what he thinks, he tends to guard his vulnerabilities and insecurities from everyone except a select few. He views his fellow guardians as close friends, but still keeps a certain distance from them when it comes to his feelings of abandonment he suffered from both parents and the resentment he held toward Jecht, really only opening up to Yuna seeing as he can emphasize with her more than the others. To everyone else, he comes off as simply upbeat, filled with energy, and even volatile when it comes to his temper, and he likes it that way. As much as he can trust others and even see them as family, he prefers to keep the barrier up both to keep others from worrying and to protect himself from getting hurt.

For all of his bravery, Tidus has a habit of trying to deny or run away from his problems, both future and past. He pretends to bounce back from his problems fairly quickly, keeping how he really feels inside and focusing on a goal with all the single-mindedness and determination expected from a professional Blitzball player. Beyond that, he often neglects to plan ahead. Even when he first found out his father was Sin, he decided to stick by Yuna's side with the idea that they both had the same goal in mind. It takes learning the consequences of what Yuna's pilgrimage would entail for her, along with witnessing the death and gore created by Sin, for him to begin taking a more proactive role as a sort of leader of the group. He isn't necessarily adverse to the idea of leading, especially in terms of sports, but he can also be content to let someone else come up with the plans and decisions and play the supportive role of keeping morale up and taking down fiends.

Often, Tidus may appear denser than he really is. While there are times he really is that oblivious (such as when he sniffs Auron after Seymour mentions the "Farplane scent"), many of his seemingly unintelligent comments come from the fact that he was from a world modeled after a city that existed a thousand years into the past only to be thrown a thousand years into what he thought was the future. Real Zanarkand or Dream Zanarkand, it might has well been a different world from the Spira he suddenly finds himself in. He might be overly outspoken at times, and not one for thinking ahead, even admitting that he's bad at waiting and thinking...but he's not a complete idiot.

Tidus remains selfish, but that doesn't mean he's without compassion. He views the events as chapters to his story, making decisions based on how he wants it to go. He despises the very idea of lives being sacrificed, seeing no point in continuing the cycle of death he himself has only seen a fraction of. Even when he becomes increasingly frustrated with the lack of options and information he has on how to keep Yuna from dying later on, he refuses to accept it, constantly challenging his friends' views and decisions for the sake of his own happiness and theirs.

In Dissidia 012, Tidus lacks his memories and is left with the sole motive to defeat Jecht, but he still retains a sense of what he feels is right, suggesting that Yuna be careful about their current surroundings and even taking a hit for her when an ally casts a flare spell her way. Despite all of his resentment he holds toward Jecht, he is reluctant to see other people get hurt in the process, wanting to achieve his goals on his terms or not at all.
Third-Person Sample: The first is an ongoing prose thread. The prompt starts out in brackets, but the thread I'm using as a sample is in prose. I linked the beginning for context. If that doesn't work, I'll be happy to provide something else.
Mognet Sample:

With Blitzball Season done this year, I was thinking about taking on another job and testing it out. The Calm Plains seems as good a place for practice as any. Maybe we'll even run into a Marlboro!

Okay, so I'll be in Aqures I. in the meantime. There's been something else on my mind, and it has been for a while. How many of you have world-traveling experience? But not just one world! I mean like traveling to different worlds. ~~I was just wondering because~~ Nevermind, but if you could still answer the question, I'd like to see if it's a common thing that happens.

See anyone when they get here.
