Real talk, I’m slowly realizing that Cassius will be the most difficult to write of all of my OCs. Although he’s the most mentally simple… that’s the problem.

I naturally talk very cordially, with a formal sort of vibe in the way that I write dialogue. However, Cassius knows English as a second language, and although he speaks it exceedingly well, he talks a lot more simplistically than I, which is really hard for me to write.

Even in this last paragraph, he wouldn’t use words like “exceedingly” or “simplistically”, and I’m struggling to get around this.

So on one hand, it’s a nice challenge. On the other hand, I’m trying to unlearn how I’ve been talking for most of my adolescence.
