[QUOTE="SmokingSkull, post: 6942181, member: 6791384"] For me Charisma represents one's persona, not in the avatar sense but in their actual personality, their individualism which shapes their ego and id. Eloquence and confidence may have factors but aren't necessarily as important, it's more of your very presence and how influential you are. For my character's Cha of 8 I represent it as him being very blunt, forceful, insensitive and mostly tactless when dealing with people. This is due to his isolated life as a hunter and nomad growing up, very few people live on the fringes and even fewer dare to travel there. This shaped his outlook as bleak and aloof, disconnected and almost alien in how he perceives things. His time amongst more civil folk in the army shaped his attitude somewhat and made him more eloquent in how he speaks, but despite that he is still very direct and as such social niceties are not a currency he trades in. As for the party he is definitely more considerate of them, because they have more than earned his trust time after time. But everyone else? He wouldn't give them the time of day, and don't even get him started on politics! (Inside joke) This is just how I represent it so take it for what you will, my two copper nothing more. [/QUOTE]
