Emphasis on familiarity (or lack thereof) throughout descriptions. Is something new? Is it familiar? Little to no mention of body language (unnoticed), emphasis on usage of âsaidâ as opposed to synonyms for talking â emphasis placed on words said, however, with repetition of phrases throughout narrative as each word is processed by the psyche. Note that he is not unempathetic; include observations (or at least personal opinions) as to the emotions expressed by characters around him. Attention wanders, large chunks of text (when not being spoken by him) may be replaced by idle description â observant of surroundings so long as they are interesting. A chair is a chair, but a chair that bends backwards might warrant a more detailed description due to it catching his interest. Often tunes out conversation. Narrative does not change tone throughout stressful situations â lest casualties appear, in which case the tone may change drastically as horror and fear break through the emotionlessness (emphasis on signs of distress throughout these episodes). When feeling overwhelmed, thoughts become disjointed and instead, focus is on the actions he takes to rid himself of discomfort (for instance, if bothered by a loud noise, he might cover or palm-slam his ears as a therapeutic measure). Thoughts can drag on, becoming lists â long sentences! â and will focus more intently on more minute details until interruption. Do not neglect extremities in the advancement of vocabulary (though allow for the setting). Some phrases or insults might go over his head, and he reacts in a stoic manner to what he understands. Though he has a potential aptitude for it, wit and wordplay will only show themselves in a situation of great comfort.Â
