Personality tests are fun

greenteengeniusLyrl is apparently an INTJ on the Myers-Briggs scale. Aka a Mastermind.
At times, INTJs seem cold, reserved, and unresponsive, while in fact they are almost hypersensitive to signals of rejection from those they care for.
"--you left me to die!" ... yeah, that sounds familiar. I would guess that Vril Dox is an ENTJ/Fieldmarshal. ("arrogant, insensitive, and confrontational" ... "intimidating, hasty, and controlling" ... usually these things are more sugar-coated, aren't they?)
Comparing these two, it seems like Lyrl may come off as less of an asshole just because he talks less. Someone who holds their tongue may be aloof or distant or maybe just disinterested. But Vril gets right up in your face, takes control of the situation and orders everyone around without regards for their feelings. He is the center of attention. He is your asshole boss, and you're definitely going to notice him more (and have stronger feelings about him) than that kid who doesn't say much.
This also is kind of helpful when comparing Lyrl to the various Brainiac 5s. It's kind of funny, but someone talking to Lyrl vs. his superhero relatives would probably gain the impression that the superheroes are bigger assholes. They tend to insult you openly and frequently. Lyrl may think you're an idiot, but he's not going to bother to say so and put up with your whining about it. He has things to do. So his introverted nature is really helpful in making him look better than he is. (Not that I'm saying Brainy is an extrovert.)
