How is someone completely good or bad????? What

Continuing with this rant

,,, Intelligence is literally. Not. Definable. For OCs.

If you say your OC's smart, fine, I say my OCs are mostly smart, too. They read books, know what's going on, can solve problems, yadda yadda.

It's when forms go "It's nearly impossible to outwit ___".

That's not how it works. Even for us as narrators, we will be confused and outwitted. So, how will we prevent our OCs from experiencing these feelings?

My answer: We don't.

Also, I don't really know any OCs who always act the same way in a given situation, so I don't think it should ever be solidly defined that way.

Just so I'm not too mean to you guys (xD), I'm going to use my OCs as examples.

If someone were to cuss Galaxian out, Galaxian wouldn't have much of a reaction. But there are also days he would be extremely upset by it.

So what do I put on his form? Well, I probably wouldn't go that into depth for that, because it'd be weird for the mods, but my point is that an OC isn't always consistent in behavior, even if they are consistent in personality.

Annnd continuing on--

OCs? Don't always have to be impacted by others' emotions??? If someone's not happy, that doesn't mean everyone's unhappy. Heck, my OCs usually either completely go on a random happy branch when the mood is serious or they do something like "The world is dead to me" on a fluff thread.

So, what's up with forms going "If so-and-so's happy, you ain't gonna be happy either"?

For one, I have characters who love seeing others squirm, or act out in anger. Take Akuma. It loves breaking Hitan down mentally.

So if I said, "If Hitan ain't happy, nobody's happy", then isn't Akuma a paradox...?

That point being, OCs have different emotional reactions.

Galaxian being ridiculously miffed about generalizations and details here, hewwoooo
