[break][break]

Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ’crack-pot’ than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.
[break][break]
Mojo's personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. S(he) doesn't do this because he is trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it’s fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than Mojo, as it gives her a chance to exercise her effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove her points.
[break][break]
An odd juxtaposition arises with her, as she is uncompromisingly honest, but will argue tirelessly for something she does not actually believe in, stepping into another’s shoes to argue a truth from another perspective. Playing the devil’s advocate helps her to not only develop a better sense of others’ reasoning, but a better understanding of opposing ideas. – since she's usefully the one fighting for them.
[break][break]
This tactic shouldn’t be confused with the sort of mutual understanding diplomatic personalities seek – Mojo, like all Analyst personality types, is on a constant quest for knowledge, and what better way to gain it than to attack and defend an idea, from every angle, from every side? Taking a certain pleasure in being the underdog, she enjoys the mental exercise found in questioning the prevailing mode of thought, making them irreplaceable in reworking existing systems or shaking things up and pushing them in clever new directions. However, she'll be miserable managing the day-to-day mechanics of actually implementing their suggestions. Mojo loves to brainstorm and think big, but she will avoid getting caught doing the “grunt work” at all costs.
[break][break]
Mojo’s capacity for debate can be a vexing one – while often appreciated when it’s called for, it can fall painfully flat when she step on others’ toes by say, openly questioning her boss in a meeting, or picking apart everything her allies say. This is further complicated by her’ unyielding honesty, as this type doesn’t mince words and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate. Likeminded types get along well enough with people with her personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general, are often conflict-averse, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies over unpleasant truths and hard rationality.
[break][break]
This frustrates Mojo, and she finds that her quarrelsome fun burns many bridges, oftentimes inadvertently, as they plow through others’ thresholds for having their beliefs questioned and their feelings brushed aside. Treating others as she'd be treated, Mojo has little tolerance for being coddled, and dislikes when people beat around the bush, especially when asking a favor. Mojo find herself praised for her vision, confidence, knowledge, and keen sense of humor, but often struggles to utilize these qualities as the basis for deeper friendships and even romantic relationships.
[break][break]
Mojo has a longer road than most in harnessing her natural abilities – her intellectual independence and free-form vision are tremendously valuable when she's in charge, or at least have the ear of someone who is, but getting to that point can take a level of follow-through that she struggles with.
[break][break]
Once she's secured such a position, Mojo needs to remember that for her ideas to come to fruition, she will always depend on others to assemble the pieces – if she's spent more time “winning” arguments than she has building consensus, she will find she simply doesn't have the support necessary to be successful. Playing devil’s advocate so well, with this personality type many may find that the most complex and rewarding intellectual challenge is to understand a more sentimental perspective, and to argue consideration and compromise alongside logic and progress.

[attr="class","about_1"]HISTORY / FREE FORM

[attr="class","skinny_content"]



Mojo was born in a very small community of minks, residing in the west blue. as a young child she was ostracized from her family and small hamlet for her "human-y" appearance. even for a zebra mink she looked and took on rather humanoid features, save for her fur which coats snuggly around her body in its dark-and-off pattern. her only solace growing up was with the discarded and damaged things that would wash ashore on the banks of her hamlet's beachfront. she'd take joy in finding new toys to add to her collection, and patching them back up. her primary antagonist were the other minks residing on the small atoll alongside her. through their lack of even acknowledging her, Mojo had to put herself in the position of sneak thief in order to assure that she didn't starve to death.[break][break]
her fortunes took a turn as one night a mysterious fruit washed ashore from the wreckage of a vessel that had crashed against the crags of the atoll. naturally inclined to get any and all kind of sustenance she could, Mojo ate into the fruit but oddly found the taste to be stringy. it would come to pass that the wrecked vessel belonged to a traveling cirque de act. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Mojo found herself abducted due to her very peculiar look and enslaved to work as a member for the troupe. no one from her home even thought to search for her, hoping that she'd simply gone away forever.[break][break]
she found much use for three troupe as a utility act, she quickly picked up on card tricks, and for some odd reason she was an absolute natural with contortion and tightrope walking. her fame began to flourish on a very grassroots scale. she even found a slight bit of happiness through her situation as she felt as if she was able to finally make a few friends along the way. however, as with most aspects of show business, jealousy was an impeding obstacle in her short-lived joy. envious of her growing limelight and top act billing, other acts within the troupe purposely sabotaged her grande debut as a solo act. a sharpshooter act named eagle-eye sparrow was able to clip Mojo's neck and lower jaw with a spray of bullets. still able to miraculously finish her tightrope act, she was quickly rushed to the first aid tent.[break][break]
in and out of consciousness for a spells at a time, she was able to quickly learn that she had some otherworldly ability to string up and assist with he healing of her wounds. however, major stitching had to be performed to keep her face in tact, and it has forever remained as a scar and reminder that she was to never put her trust in anyone ever again. she was able to learn through what she eavesdropped around the troupe, that the owner and benefactor of the entire cirque de act only had Sparrow fired due to the fact that for right now Mojo was his top draw. from her time spent around the man, she quickly began to understand that she was indeed interchangeable, and when the moment rose that he'd find an even fresher act to replace her with she'd be in severe danger.[break][break]
not much is left to be said about Mojo. there was a horrific tent fire that put the cirque out of business, not a single soul survived the blazing inferno save the young woman who kindled the fires to her own freedom. now out and about on her own and with her buying popularity stymied and labeled dead as "old news", Mojo makes her life full by simply living it to her own terms. her chief purpose is simply to survive to see tomorrow.
