In addition to what has been said above:

Some Eidolons have been played without emotion. I played Lies-Angelique with as little as I could get away with. Aziraphael appears to be going down the same route. Clearly something about being a hunter-killer Eidolon causes you to become Emotionally Repressed Smile

. This is entirely a personal choice, and there is no reason why you should play your character any other way than the way you like to. My character would probably have sneered at any Eidolon who showed emotion as being weak, but this is purely an IC opinion, and not an OOC fact Smile

As to not gelling with the other Eidolons, this is a good thing! I Never Ever 'gelled' with any of the other Eidolons. We did not get along, or do things together, and I was nicknamed 'The Bitch' for a darn good reason. There isn't anything in the briefing material that says eidolons of different faiths are supposed to be one big happy family, and several common interpretations of the tenets of the Gods that suggest that they aren't supposed to. Other Eidolons are not your friends IC, they are your competition Smile

OOC of course they are made of lovely!

The great thing about playing an Eidolon is that OOC you have a big support group who all understand what the other players do not; that playing an Eidolon is THE most challenging role you can have in a larp game. Every other player seems to be judging your performance 100% of the time, and because of this it can be easy to feel disheartened.
Play your character the way you want to, and you will soon silence the critics. People told me I was doing it wrong, and I made them eat those words. As long as you are true to your character, you are doing it right, and don't let anything convince you otherwise.
