Bane is best described as a fantasy obsessive, spending his time playing RPGs, reading SF novels and watching anime; his mind permanently floating in a kind of romantic haze, from which he emerges only rarely, when Cyan tells him to make the tea. Why Cyan does not invest in a tea urn is beyond the scope of this discussion (and possibly of comprehension).

His current obsession changes with his mood, but an edited shortlist of his non-hedgehog interests would include Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, Cardcaptor Sakura, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Highlander, and several others. As you can see, there is little room in his head for reality.

On top of this, he would be the first to describe himself as a yaoi-boy, has a tendency to totally ignore gender distinctions, and a taste for the kinky. Unbridled romanticism only makes it worse.

Bane is occasionally considered an artist. This may be due to a newly discovered mental condition dubbed malumania. Conversely, it may be nothing more than his tendency to wear black roll-neck sweaters and say anything that comes into his fuzzy head. He inhabits the same sort of wiry monitor nest that Cyan does.
