Putting the feelers out there...

Hi Ruby City,
So off the back of the CR Meme and with some helpful concrit from a castmate last night I've come to the conclusion that I very much need to play more off of Sephiroth's more prone-to-violence/near-violent triggers than I am currently. He's been suitably tolerant of all things Ruby City up until this point but where he's becoming more adjusted within himself and around the setting I really should play up more of these triggers, more often - I'm going to make a concerted effort to play less 'safe' going forward. He is a dangerous psychotic with a God complex, after all.
As such I've updated my Permissions post with a handy list of possible triggers, for reference and opt-out if you'd like to stay away from this particular angle of the character. In the meantime, I'd like to use this post as a general 'feel around' for if any of you have any ideas/feedback/questions related to ongoing/possible-upcoming CR with him.
For reference here is the (by no means extensive) list:
-Suggestions that he may or may not be in complete control of (any part of) himself
-References to any powerlessness or uselessness he exhibits, or that he is in anyway inferior.
-Suggestions that he 'move on' from his celestial Destiny, or that it is in any way misguided
-Direct (or even indirect) challenges; including but not limited to physical confrontations, his elevation as a God-like being above others, or even any suggestion of his capabilities being less than what they are.
-Any discussion regarding THAT Cetra (ie. Aerith); he killed her, her very existence spites everything he stands for.
-Any suggestion that he do something for your character without a clear reason, even then he might think there is an ulterior motive to control him at play.
-Body language that may suggest deceit towards him.
-Should he pick up on any psychic-powers being directed at his own impenetrable, but acutely sensitive, metaphysical wall around his consciousness.
