Re-reading the source material for my character I was reminded that his conversations are more like dissertations. I am not smart enough to be IC.
My liiiiiiiife
I try and do as much research as I can to help me sound like my characters. I read some military guidelines and prosey stories for Obisen and spend more time looking up droid and ship parts in wookipedia than I do actually rping Gevi.
What I do is write little journals from the characters POV. Hells me work on how they talk.
