Points on the Doppelganger and Imposter
T-this post started out as an essay (which is still being written). I tried to cut it down! Because its purpose is to let YOU know what you need to know about interacting with Roy in camp, and to help you help me not step on toes.
1. If your character knows both Roy and Freyjadour, and does not have below-average perception, they will sooner or later (possibly right away) notice a distinct facial/physical resemblance between the two.
2. Thanks to this, Roy has a wig and Prince Freyjadour costume that he often wears around to trick people! This is his idea of super special awesome fun, and he will probably do it to you. Yes, you. It's all dumb mischief, pretty much, but I thought it had enough toe-stepping potential that I should bring it up. So! If you have a character(s) who you'd rather not be jumped by Prince!Roy, let me know here? ♥
3. Despite having the right looks, Roy is uh. A really bad impersonator. Not necessarily a bad actor, he just fails at getting characterization right. So if your character knows the Prince, you are free to have your character notice that "FREY IS ACTING REALLY WEIRD" and even de-wig him if you want.
4. ALTERNATE ROUTE: In canon, it's suggested that the act has some degree of effectiveness on everyone except Lyon. So if you want to exaggerate your character's obliviousness for the lulz, you are perfectly justified! The bottom line is, it's camp, I'm not going to be picky about how you view it either way.
