On a personal note, Myranda may of had issue with Artie at the beginning, but having<em>seen</em>him work and how he puts his "tools" to work, that would of medegated a lot of the ill will fairly quickly. Actions speak louder than words and not judging a book by it's cover and so on.<br/><br/>Consider, if you will, what events in their shared past may of influenced the character one way or the other? If a wise man is a man who learns from his mistakes and misperceptions, how, then, can life's experiences not alter his perceptions? Do we have the same view points now as we did when we were 18? There may be some cause for mistrust, even active dislike, but at the same time, there's just as much room to accept that your first impression, in hindsight, may of been flawed and new information effect a change in perspective.<br/><br/>There's the pitfall that you're on the verge of falling into as a PC, a belief simply for the belief itself. In the 1960's, racism was rampant; a black was a black was a black and they all deserve to be hanging from a tree because they are black. A necromancer is a necromancer is a necromancer and they all deserve to be killed in their sleep because they're a necromancer. There may be some difference, but the root is the same. You can't have a good black because they're all criminals, welfare dependent and don't really know who their father's are, right? Necromancrs are all evil because they are evil, dedicated to descretating the dead and working to take over the world with their undead hords, right?<br/><br/>Just food for thought.
