What do you think is the single, best word to describe a character, that has the following traits. It has to capture the character's orientation. The character I'm describing has a exploitive orientation and I've only found egocentric and exploitive to be good words... Any good synonyms? I'mma go to dictionary.com right now =d.
Edit I've decided on conceit or narcissist, if I don't get help with first.
Next question; how would I use conceit as a "character trait word"?

Kk, how's this for an opening statement, I need this to be a good one =d
The dominant trait of the character Klutter Kobra, from the story “Priscilla and the Wimps” by <insert name>, is narcissistic.

Ends very abruptly. If you want to end with Narcissist say something along the lines of "is a narcissistic." as opposed to "is narcissistic".
I had another idea to reshape your sentence but I have forgotten it.

I don't get what your trying to describe exactly.. Do you just want a cool word that people don't know the meaning of or what?

He has an exploitive character orientation. He wants to expand on that and would like a nice vocab word.

I need a word that accurately captures the general traits of someone with a exploitive orientation.
Edit: Blank beat me to it xD

I'm good with the word narcissistic, since I can make a logical transition from it to arrogant etc, all I need is help with a good opening statement, I can handle the rest.
EDITS: I found a more general word, conceit, but I don't know how to use it! Help??

I had made a typo in my original quote. But re-quoting.
I'm trying to re-call what I had thought of before. It had scrapped your old sentence and had made mention of his orientation.
EDIT: Concieted. its a ADJ.
is a very concieted person...
