Full admission that I am a very dumb person behind the character. It's actually a problem I struggle with a lot, really. I have Oscare who's intelligence is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my league by at least nine or eleven leagues in both expertise and practical knowledge in every sense, and I can't keep up. I can only do some much with my lower-than-basic attention to detail and comprehension, which makes Oscare have to be dumbed down to basically a child. It's not intentional, it's just a transfer of my own low OOC intelligence that Oscare can't make up for regardless of how "smart" I make him be. Because even if HE gets it (which is the intended effect 99% of the time), if I don't get it, then he won't because I'm the one typing the words. It actually bites me back in a lot of cases, unfortunately, and contributes a lot to my unwillingness to take active participation in spoken discussion.
So like Chachan said above, I can only hope to a decent enough job because Oscare is way over my own intelligence.
EDIT: Forgot to actually include my opinion. Short answer is yes, it can be done. It just requires a degree of finesse in writing. If you sound confident in what you say, players may be willing to wiggle around it!
