Either way, no one wants to touch it because your character is like some kids abandoned, rusty bike.  I think with cha 5, which seems to be the way you're adjusting the score, you can have a slapdash good time playing the character.  But instead of playing with the usual "funny comments" or witty behaviors, you just play him as the odd-man out. He doesn't say anything... but he also doesn't do anything, especially when the situation calls for you to actually do something. Think the Royal Tennenbaums or something. I'm not sure which character to point to, since they all did have a bit of charisma that captivates them on screen, so I'd tone it down a good notch... but some of the characters were hugely apathetic. To the point of having few lines... but just being there.</blockquote>
