Alex: "'Is Occtis' timidity an aspect you decided before playing him, or did it come out as you played?' Uh, it was something I decided, I wanted him to be a little...a little, full adult man. Um...Oh, just to clear anything up, Occtis is 20 years old. Cause I know I made jokes about him being a child--he's not a child. He's 20 years old. But his timidity was something that I...fully intended for him to have...
Again, I wanted him to be different than Crokas, and Crokas wasn't timid, he was just dumb. And he was just, he was quiet because he didn't know what to say. He was perfectly happy to put himself into situations, and like--if he had something to say, he'd say it, but like. Occtis is...it is the...someone who is so smart, and has too many thoughts, so they don't what to do--is kinda why he's so timid..."
as someone with terrible anxiety, thank you for making your spooky boy so timid Alex, I love him. And he really conveys that feeling of being too petrified by fear and all the thoughts racing through your head to really act and make a decision--
