I play a character who is smart in technical and historical matters, but in other respects is a giant idiot.
It makes it easier! The stuff in FFXIV isn't real, so I can make up whatever tech/alchemy/sciencey stuff I please for the most part. No one knows the physiological effects of a hi-potion.
In other matters I have the choice to be as smart or as stupid as eva is.
I think all smart characters (or people) are dumb in a lot of areas. If you OOCly don't pick up on something your genius character should, then just play it off as a slip up, or maybe them just deciding to keep their mouth shut.
