1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?

... Not even close. Could she pick up on the opposite, I wonder? Robert has witnessed a pretty important (and horrible) death from close-range in Luceti, and still carries guilt about the fact it happened - he kind of blames himself...

2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?

Oh yes. Robert has a bunch of obvious cues and clearly broadcasts his social cues because he's not really good at picking them up or hiding his own. He fiddles with his lab coat sleeves a lot, as well as his glasses, and has a tendency to fidget. He won't make eye contact long unless he really trusts someone. He also has a stutter which worsens when he's anxious or in a situation he isn't emotionally good at handling.

All of these things act as a good barometer of his current mental state. :|a I'll usually describe this kind of stuff, though! So don't worry about missing it or anything. o/`

... Also, Robert wears the same lab coat and glasses all the time. That's significant too.

Kazooie

1. Has your character killed a lot of people? Did they like it? Can Molly pick up on that?

Technically, yes, for both things. However, it's a bit different, because Kazooie's cartoony world means that she doesn't really see it in the same way that Molly would see it. But she definitely goes on about being a hero and kicking bad guy butt - so it's up to how she'd interpret it.

She's also killed people in the draft, though she did not enjoy that anywhere near as much. :|;

2. Molly is a super-observant character when it comes to people's mental/emotional state. I'm not as much. Anything you'd like to leave for me to help her figure your character out?

Huh... Kazooie doesn't have a lot of cues, but she does sometimes scuff the ground with a talon when annoyed or awkward. Most of her emotional stuff is either really surface-obvious or deeply hidden (though perhaps Molly will be able to tell when she's a bit insecure?).
