Re: LENZ -- JAY // OC

1. I'm going to echo what other comments have stated in that he seems a bit one-note, and unfortunately, that note strikes me as stereotypical. Some of his comments are funny in an 'oh snap!' sort of way, but he can cross the line sometimes.

For example, you play him as someone who likes things to be beautiful and is (or pretends to be) cultured, and yet he made comments about Damian's balls dropping. To me, it didn't gel and was fairly offensive, given that Damian is one of the youngest characters in the game. There were other ways to imply that he was an infant without going to that extreme.

I understand the difficulty of playing someone who has chosen a role to present for himself. I'm doing the same thing with Tim. It's not easy, but I let Tim's level of "on" waver. He never says anything anti-Capitol or anti-Games, but his reactions to some things (like his initial post after the bombing) aren't exactly the "Who cares? They treat us like kings. Have some respect." routine that he normally goes with. It's hard for anyone to be 100% 'on' all the time - it's too much stress.

2. N/A really, see above.

3. I wouldn't worry about this so much, particularly if his homeworld has had an affect on who he is. I try to keep Tim very much in Panem, but I don't hesitate to have him compare things to Gotham or think of characters that aren't here if it's pertinent to the scene that he's in. Our characters didn't pop into Panem out of nothingness. I haven't logged with Jay, so I don't know how much you do or don't show. If you have been avoiding it entirely, maybe letting some of it slip in here and there will help bring out other sides to the character.
