having mental handicaps is the best way to play geniuses tbh. my main muse is very gifted, both academically and otherwise, but the series also shows us that he can have very flawed trains of thought, come to wrong conclusions, show strong personal bias, and make some really boneheaded mistakes. he wouldn't be nearly as flawed if he was a perfect smartypants who was good at everything.
See, that shows character balance and comes across as less obnoxious. This game is an all OCs game and this mun is just terrible at writing witty and strategic geniuses. Like, these supposed brilliant schemes are shit I would have seen through when I was fifteen and I am not some strategic prodigy. As an example, her evil character who was supposedly good at convincing people that he's a great guy would always ask "What's in it for me?" whenever any character asked him for a favour. No matter how minor. And he would refuse to do the favour without some sort of compensation. But apparently nobody was ever supposed to know that he was a selfish ass.
The mun was at least not a drama queen when characters figured out the character wasn't that nice...but the mun really needs to stick to things he/she can capably portray.
