Talk:Rell/@comment-2602:306:CD2B:6610:B0A5:2918:66D3:BCD1-20170921162547

For all the discussions of "this kid has autism" (and varying levels of salt over that point) I'd like to point out that in the Orokin Empire, autistic children likely would have been terminated, shoved between the cracks of society, or reduced to slavery given their disability (they usually didn't let identical twins live for whatever reason.)  Yeah, the kid was special. Frankly, I'm rather pleased that DE included someone like that. Why? Because it makes for a more interesting character - someone that didn't know how to deal with the world around himself - because even though they had these incredible powers as a Tenno, they also had a major weakness, and weaknesses make heroes more relateable and human. I sympathized with Rell a lot more than I would some other Tenno that just "figured out" the existence of the Man in the Wall.
