Inferi, about Rory in Roads
Inferi, I've just realized a plot hole/error in Rory's character. Originally, I used the excuse that Rory was a sociopath long ago, however, I just realized his core symptoms are not that of sociopathy. Reason being, is that sociopaths are basically often fidgety or anxious and avoiding people, whereas Rory tends to lack jittery or anti-social behaviour; moreover, he does not lack a conscience, and does know right and wrong, hence his willingness to help in going against the soldiers. He’s focused and does not suffer from anxiety or nervousness, plus he’s inclined to working with others or at least try to solve things while taking the lead.
Thus, his boldness yet awkward anger suggests he isn’t a sociopath. His symptoms seem to be more akin to alexithymia and episodic dyscontrol syndrome or intermittent explosive disorder, HOWEVER, his anger thus far is goal-orientated, so he may simply suffer from tantrums (goal-orientated rage). This would explain his lack of empathy and his awkward outbursts of anger (trying to break down a steel door with a chair, attacking even soldiers, charging a commander and attacking his defensive shield despite lack of success).
Or he’s just a rageaholic.
Anyways, Westenev seems to have disappeared again. I hope he comes back soon!
