Hmm. Yeah, it's sort of there, but still not what I'm going for. The character I'm making is based on the ninja archetype, but he experiences nervousness when around others or when he's the center of attention, that manifests as extreme shyness and slight social anxiety. This is to be my explanation for why he keeps his face covered at almost all times (partly subverting the whole "dark, quiet, and mysterious badass" trope in that, while he is quiet and mysterious, it's not for any contrived lone wolf or standard ninja-esque reason and instead because he simply fears face-to-face communication).
