Message: <blockquote data-quote="Piratecat" data-source="post: 2449698" data-attributes="member: 2">Sorry about that. Sometimes he's kind of like the kind of bullying 14 year old you never wanted to run in to -- an overweening show off who seems to be more concerned with appearance than substance. He pushes some people to see how far he can bend them. That's intentional. On the other hand, I'm also very much shooting for the "diamond in the rough" mentality. His personality is tempered by his love for his God (although not necessarily his religion) and his endless loyalty and love for his friends. He sees himself as largely alone and unloved in the world, except for the small number of people who have learned to trust him (and vice versa.)  That's a treasure more valuable than any magic item or jeweled crown.He's not really as shallow as he pretends. It's a ploy, but sometimes it backfires.  And if he doesn't at least have style, it's not for lack of trying.Morningstar is certainly the most serious member of the group. She's the only neutral, and she's far more suspicious than the others. She, too, had hidden depths; she's deeply committed and spiritual, and more pragmatic than anyone else. It's fascinating role playing from her player.Kudos to Sagiro for the writing in this part, by the way. I was there -- and it's bringing the adreneline rush and teary eyes all over again. If I didn't love and respect his NPCs so much, it wouldn't hurt so much when they face horrible danger.And we all still miss Abernathy. I mean really miss him, and this is an imaginary character who passed away in a game more than six years ago. Weird.</blockquote>
