Editing Onyx (Dragon Fangs version) (section)

==Personality==

A champion of humanity, selfless hero in shining armour always ready to protect the weak and the downtrodden. A relentless fighter for justice, equality and the good of all people. Always ready to rise up to any challenge, no matter how daunting, if the things he believed in were at stake. A paragon of the noblest qualities of humankind: bravery, honour, valour, courage, heroism and so and so. A bastion of safety, protecting his race from the horrors of the Galaxy. And, most importantly, very humble, never taking too much credit for his glorious deeds.

This is how Onyx saw himself.

The impression everyone else had of him was very different. Most of his brothers viewed Onyx as extremely immature, irresponsible, brutish, self-centred and careless. In any discussion, he couldn't shut up about himself and his amazing adventures, a great deal of which he either exaggerated or made up on the go. Interestingly enough, he genuinely believed everything he was saying, but he was the only one convinced by these tall tales. Needless to say, his brothers were usually irritated by Onyx's incessant boasting. He couldn't begin to understand the utmost importance of strategic meetings, in no small part because he was bored to tears by planning of any kind and preferred to make decisions on the go. He never took these meetings seriously and only used them as an opportunity to tell a couple of war stories and show off his trophies. Because of this, he was a rare guest at strategic meetings, only present if his attendance was required. The Primarchs with a biting tongue, such as [[the Voidwatcher]] or [[Gaspard Lumey]], never shied away from criticising Onyx in the open.

Such pronouncedly cold treatment from his brothers would deeply offend most other Primarchs, but Onyx was an exception. His enormous self-confidence made him completely impervious to criticism, and he took any disparaging comments as a joke. This made many of his brothers hold his intelligence in a low regard, but this judgement was quite misplaced. In spite of his crude demeanour, the Primarch of the Penis Men was fairly smart, but his large ego and careless attitude often interfered with his rational judgement. Unable to believe that someone may sincerely dislike him, he believed all of his brothers to be his friends and fraternised with them in the most unceremonious manner. Onyx had little to no concept of private space and loved smacking people on the shoulder or giving them friendly pushes as signs of affection, which could be quite painful, considering his enormous strength. To some of his brothers such treatment was awkward; others found his lack of proper manners charming.

In spite of all of his numerous shortcomings, Onyx's heart was in the right place, and his desire to help Humanity was genuine. While his actual actions were usually marred by his irresponsibility and violent tendencies, his intentions were always noble. Perhaps the greatest problem of his life was that he never realised how his admirable aspirations result in trouble for everyone involved. Just like he could never learn to control his great physical strength properly, he never really learned restraint in warfare. Always inclined towards heroic, but strategically foolish decisions, he ruined the plans of many a campaign he was involved in, after which some of the Imperial commanders outright refused to work with the Penis Men. Some of the more thoughtful Primarchs saw Onyx's good heart underneath the crude Neolithan rock, and those became genuine friends to the boisterous giant. In particular, [[Shakya Vardhana]] and [[Golgothos]] were rather close to Onyx and tried, to the best of their ability, to teach him responsibility and restraint. Alas, their efforts were not enough to reshape the man of penis.

There were few things Onyx enjoyed as much as destruction. As with most of his notable flaws, this resulted in his Thunder Warrior ancestry. He didn't destroy to punish, like [[Inferox]], or to cripple the enemy, like [[Johannes Vrach]]. He just did it because he loved breaking things. On more than a single occasion, his artillery accidentally levelled the city together with its walls, which made the Primarch sad for about four minutes on average. While civilian deaths were amongst the few things he eventually learned to take seriously, large scale property damage followed him anywhere he went. He was several times caught ordering to destroy objects that weren't tactically important, and always managed to make up a perfectly reasonable justification for it, a testament to his undervalued intelligence. 

All in all, Onyx was an awkward giant who was always trying to help, but generally ended up causing a lot of harm in process. It was only after his death, when his crude and boisterous mannerisms faded away from memory, that he was finally hailed for being the great hero he was.
