Sociopaths

[Unseelie]

I've a character who is a maniac..Completely nuts, cuts on people, kidnaps, tortures, et cetera. She is, basicly, not a good person. She associates with phantoms and peeps with terrorist IDs, and, is, in fact, marrying one. Thats all fine and dandy, she's some stories posted on the forums that really delves into the crazy Sophie. I'm told that she is, on the forums, a crazy person, and generally disturbing. Lovely.

Then, I get onto the Whipping.Girl, Sophie's ship, and what do I end up with? A smartass. Thats all she is, is just sarcastic. I had, for a while, broadcast into open space the goings on aboard the ship, but then, I realized, that didn't make the most sense. She is, for all intents and purposes, lucid and a rather private person. If you don't scan her ship, or raid her home, she seems almost normal. In a fight, or if someone draws me into a conversation, her derangement will show up, but in general, I can spend days drifting along trade routes without any chance to really let her crazy show...to really, actually, play the character. This has led me to lose a lot of interest in playing her...


I've the same sort of problem on capitalships, that is, I don't think system chat, or even local chat, would know what's going on aboard, unless someone carelessly left the comms on, and I can only use that trick so many times...

How can I get into more situations where the character(s) are forced out of the privacy of their ships?
