Quote:Some things I notice about characters with low levels of emoting:
They're still driven by passion, but it affects what they do, rather than how they do it;
Their mood is often unchanged by events. This can make them seem very determined and brave, sometimes foolhardy;
When they have inner conflicts they don't show them through emotional outbursts. Instead, they indulge in quirks, rituals, idiosyncracies and vices;
They may say what they've seen or done, but seldom say what they think, except to disagree;
They often have a highly emotional sidekick, confidante or adversary who acts out the normal emotions for the reader. This "Spock/McCoy" pairing helps accentuate the character's lack of emotion, but also gives the reader the necessary emotional insight into keep the scene engaging.
