Whilst not exactly a skill-set.. Nailah is an alcoholic, Thala'to is a recovering drug-addict and I have no experience with either. To the point where I haven't even been drunk IRL before. I've watched documentaries about both subjects, partially because I wanted to know more due to the fact that I bring these things up in RP - but if it hadn't been because I am a big fan of watching documentaries in general, I don't think I'd have gone quite to that extend.Â
When it comes to wielding the bow, in Nailah's case for hunting purposes but with past characters for killing-people purposes, I've got the benefit of having attended archery classes and competitions for a number of years during my time as a teenager (I placed 4th in the Nordic championship and placed 1st nationally). I used a compound bow then, but I have also shot with simple longbows and such, so I know some stuff about it and I have a feeling of how strong you need to be to pull it off etc. I've made an attempt to look into some videos explaining old-timely combat with bows, but honestly it never was so helpful.Â
I think overall, I'm mostly thorough with lore - everything else comes along when I feel like I need to know more to pull it off in a manner that won't make people go O.o
