Any advice on playing Desmond? I gave him a try back in the days of AC:Broohood and have been thinking of picking him up again but I know he can be a tricky one. Most of the complaints I've heard about RPer's portrayal of him seem to stem from him coming across as boring. How can I liven him up without depending too much on headcanon, or is that the only way? Anything I should keep in mind?

Re: livening him up:

This is a guy who has basically been under lock and key for months. While he should be looking over his shoulder, he should also be relishing having his freedom back and maybe going a bit over the top with it at times... especially if he's in a place where there are no Templars, especially pre-Revelations, when he wants out and hasn't fully accepted his role as an Assassin. He also once lived in New York City on a bartender's wage and living amongst the city's nightlife, and spent his later teenage years and early twenties with basically no adults to answer to after an isolated childhood cut off from most of society. He should be very independent -- he should be out there and having fun, trying to find a new place to spend his time and fit in.

He shouldn't be boring. He was basically raised in an almost Amish-style rural cult only to run away to the big city and get wrapped up in an international conspiracy spanning thousands of years of history. Desmond should hide in "boring" as a cover but come alive in his freedom.
