This is an issue I actually have in two different degrees.
One is expertise and practical knowledge - like with Lilia, Chachan is a craftsman by trade and would know a lot more fine details about smithing and the like than I do. I try to get around it by giving generalized emotes and always having Google handy to look something up... but there's only so much I can turn up on a quick search. Especially if I don't know what terms to use.
Gogon, on the other hand, is supposed to be more all-around smart and tactically minded. The guy who thinks eight moves ahead in chess and the like, and good at getting information without giving up any. And I'm constantly worried that I'm not smart enough to play him at the intelligence level he "should" be considering my mental view of him. Considering his ego, I worry that he comes off as "more bark than bite" in the mental department instead of someone whose cunning should be something to at least have some degree of concern for.
So, I'm actually trying to play both a character with a knowledge set outside my own and a generally more intelligent character... and I can only hope I do a decent enough job with it.
