Sydney

[Asmiley]

I love how he mysteriously keeps things from Miss parker. He helps Jarod alot. He has even been mystified by things Jarod has done. I think his charachter is very important.

 

[Highlander II]

aye - his character is very important - tho sometimes under used

i, however, have a difficult time finding a place for him in my fics - he's a hard character for me to write -- jarod, mp, Lyle - them, no problem, Sydney? he gets me every time -- same w/ Broots - but more for 'technical' reasons than his character ---

 

[Asmiley]

Oh But he's so into things he links himself into so much how can you not fit him into your fics?

 

[Highlander II]

b/c i can't write him -- he never sounds quite right ---

i can't quite get him to sound like Sydney -- so, he is 'under used' in my fics --

well - the like 2 or 3 i've finished ---

 

[Asmiley]

You can't get into his personality?

 

[Highlander II]

no - for some reason, when i write him, if he isn't being 'typical' Sydney - plain bland psych speak - i can't do it -- i've tried, and it usually sounds stupid --- Syd's not stupid ---

guess it could be b/c he doesn't get as much 'screentime' as some of the other characters - and he doesn't really talk much - and i write mostly dialogue -- harder for me to write characters who don't speak --- probably why i haven't used Angelo much either ----

 

[Asmiley]

Yes well. it's not how much he talks that's important just the things he says.

 

[Highlander II]

and Sydney says some pretty important things, doesn't he??

he's got a 'fatherly' connection with Jarod -- that MP tried to break - unsuccessfully, though --

have there been any times when Syd has infuriated you? made you angry and aks 'what did you do THAT for??'

 

[Asmiley]

Everything he says or sees seems important to not only the show but to the whole insight into Jarrod's life thing too.

SOmetimes I don't know where his character is going with somethings, but he is much like a dad to Jarrod, you is right about that.
