> Nope. > > Posted. Silus is god damn unflappable you know. > > But on a side note. Xander. How is a guy with Aspergers (which is a type of Autism so I'm unsure why you stated he has both) able to hold conversations. One of the quintessential parts of being diagnosed with Aspergers is the inability to create connections due to poor social and communicative skills. Like...if you want to make an Aspergers sufferer...more power to you. But do it correctly please. At the moment he just seems socially awkward at the worst. I'd just like to say, I just _might_ have a bit more experience with this then you, _personal_ experience. :p I happen to know things like this are possible, especially in such conversations about things he's comfortable with. Really at the moment, with these people who seem to except him as only two separate criminal organizations had before, his main problem would be missing social cues. And blatantly so. Also, unlike me, Nero got trained as a con artist by experts instead of getting stuffed out of the way to go insane and paranoid in some 'special' school. But anyway, I deam it possible in a vary high functioning case...

cute :3

Hey, I'm just saying because i have a brother and a cousin that suffers from sever cases of autism. So don't THINK I don't have personal experience on the matter. If he only is missing social cues I cant see how he can be considered suffering from Aspergers.

All I know is I'm acting how I would. And I've been diagnosed with asbergers. :P

*shrug* fair enough. Just seems to be a very mild case of that's the only problem.

like is said, in his case its augmented with years of practise as a con man.

But even that makes little sense. In order to be an effective conman, you must at the very least be able to get people to trust you through imitating social protocols with no emotion behind them. No strings. Aspergers does not lend to that notion. If anything I'd say Nero feels more like a character that's a sociopath rather than a sufferer of Aspergers. And even then, if its a case of lower end Aspergers that allows the often but odd social interactions, Aspergers suffers cannot discern body language in people. Yet another skill quintessential for a con man.

Guys, this is a series about teenagers fighting giant monsters with their gun/staff/nunchucks and machine gun/purses. Does this really matter.

*shrug* i like getting a handle on characters as I rp with them and determine how Silus would interact with him. This is me getting a handle on Xanders character. I must sound like an asshole.

Lol no worries, I think we're all still getting to know our characters. My advice would just be to focus on his actions in the IC and go from there.

Well, I don't think it matters. :p

Xander. Your flippant attitude to what is a debilitating factor in my brothers life is begining to annoy me. But I'll put it aside... I'm gunna wait for Little to post with Cyruls response xD

I would one like to say that this is something that is severely disabling in my own life, but I'm going to leave it at that as well. I've been trying to keep this civil, to the best of my limited abilities, and I'd like to apologise for any problems. I hope we can move on from this, to simply use the actions of the characters speak instead of whatever we put into our cs.

But The CS is what your character is supposed to be! Yes some things are open to interpretion like a change in personality due to events that occur to yhe character within the RP...but to simply disregard what you place is CS because of certain actions you wish to take goes against what a CS is.

Actually that is wrong. A CS is the **Basis** of your character, and any good form of character will be dynamic. Because of this, they're just as likely to change as the plot itself is. As long as a character continues acting in a similar manner due to that being said characters current personality, then it's all good. Besides, sometimes people will change their actions when faced with people or situations that they recognize as needing a different response. It's just how people are. A good character will be as imperfect as the person playing them is.

To be fair, I described Nahbi as "sarcastic and snarky" in her CS but thus far she's just been an obnoxious ball of energy with no snarking in sight. Again, we're all still discovering our characters.

I stared that already. If you'd read what I said...I said characters do change on events. What wouldn't change is an aspect of high function autism that would prohibit said person from even becoming a 'con man' so forth. I apologize if I am blowing things out of proportion but to see a depiction of an Aspergers sufferer that is flying in the face of the disorder frustrates me. If he was just socially awkward. Fine. If he was a sociopath. Fine. But the way he has been is not indicative of an Aspergers sufferer.

I gave Asa his personality before I wrote his history and, being realistic, if I had lived through that, I would probably come out with a very different personality. probably.

I appreciate that this is very personal to you, but I think it's important to remember that Xander has aspergers, and has a more in-depth experience with it. He can use his characters to represent his own situation however he sees fit. Besides, it's not the name of his situation that's important, but rather the character's actions. So much energy has been spent already debating specifics and scenarios, we should remember that everyone's experience is different. Idk, I'm really just asking we burry the hatchet. Agree to disagree and no more arguing.
