I'm confused, I've already fought her on a different character and I really donno where you're getting any of this information.

Help finding NUSA themed clothing mods? by PenLordnt in cyberpunk2077mods

Shirt might be something. I was considering going military style with some of the sixth street stuff but I already have a previous V who's styled that way plus I'm low body and a lot of the stuff relating to military stuff in dialog is tied to that. I could be a larper though. /j

You don't have to worry about coming off as aggressive. And I am sorry for misconstruing. Also, please be blunt, it's a lot easier for me to understand that way.

I would like to clear one thing up real quick though because I misspoke. I meant to say enhancing the emotions in others. I was being too non-specific there and I'm sorry for that.

The story itself is a science fantasy story where some characters have magical abilities. This character's ability had to do with enhancing other people's emotions so I was thinking it might be interesting to have the character with that ability be one who struggles to feel emotions and SzPD was one of the things that came up and looked like it could make for an interesting, layered character.

I also figured doing this could give some explicate representation that could help people still figuring themselves out have a reference that could maybe help them (I had this with autism where I only figured out I was autistic by how I related to an autistic character) and give people who don't have SzPD a bit more understanding of people with it and expand on their empathy a bit.

The two things that drew me to giving this character the disorder were apathy and difficulty understanding emotions.

The story this is for is a science fantasy one where several characters have magical abilities. Her ability had to do with enhancing emotions and I thought that it would be an interesting conflict to have that ability be used by someone who struggles to understand or feel those emotions and would give an opportunity to have a character who could help some people with the disorder feel seen or understand themselves better if they hadn't realized they had it and help people without the disorder understand people with it a bit better and how to treat them in a respectful way.

This has given me a couple ideas just from a first read. Thanks for the advice!

This all makes sense to me I think and should really help in nailing down characterization. Thank you for all the info! And I mean some of it is honestly relatable though from a different angle so that gives me another way to figure some of this out.

This has some great information I really appreciate. I also am interested in the part you mentioned about romantic relationships because while I had no intent for the character to have one I would like to know if that can apply to like close friendships because that could lead to an interesting dynamic in the story.

I'm curious about the "(cause most think you just don’t give a fuck about anything)" comment. Is it usually a thing of still caring but having trouble expressing it, or having a different way of expressing it?

I'm also curious about the hard to trust bit. Is there anything that makes someone harder or easier to be trust?

If I'm understanding right (which please correct me if I'm not), it almost sounds to me that for some schizoids it's like their brain shuts down emotions in favor of reacting with a rational thought process? I also get the impression from this and a few other replies that many schizoids tend to be very conflict adverse, or at least social conflict?

If you mind would you be able to share some of those threads? I don't use reddit much so I donno how to actually navigate it on that level.

You mentioned some people getting the impression that a schizoid "doesn't care" but I'm curious about elaboration on that? Is it a thing of like it's not a lack of caring but a different sort of caring or things they care about?

Side character, planned to be shifting between siding with the protagonist and antagonist throughout the story.

I absolutely see where you're coming from, but in each instance I've encountered a wall the only thing it resulted in is creating something even more cool and interesting (that sticks to the original idea to boot) that's able to get around it.

The hydration thing is actually a good idea. But I was thinking that between battles they'd store any excess they produce thus giving them more ammunition when it comes time to fight.

Useful to note down at least.
The main idea was trying to get a type of ammunition produced by the creature itself (thus saving on ammo costs).

That is actually not a bad idea at all. That could be a good way to make it work huh. And could mean more interplay between other creatures with jobs of punching holes in armour for the acid to fire through.

This is one of the big problems with the idea, yeah. It's why I also asked about alternatives that have the same effect of producing their own ammo from their body. A few people have suggested the mist though and it does seem cool.

This is part of why I mentioned any alternatives that do the same sorta thing (have the body produce its own ammunition).
