>>47434313I get where you're coming from, but that seems awfully defeatist. Yes a perfect replica is impossible because you're outside the author's head, but what's to stop you from getting as close as you can?
What's your toolkit for ripping off a character? Do you just watch them until you can emulate them well enough in your head, or is there a methodology to it?
