I don't like to play fortune teller because I'm not very good at it but it's not just about the necromancy. In the private rp we did, Ian thought he was a kid who was acting conceited and prideful because he was defenseless and that's all he had. That's just how he comes across in conversation. Knowing that he's a powerful spellcaster with that attitude makes him even less sympathetic than I was expecting.<br/><br/>I really don't know what to tell you. Arty talks himself up or tries to put others down when they know they're unhappy.  Ian will work with him but hopefully Arty will get the chance to prove himself with actions but it's a rockier start than I was expecting.  Sorry, man. Doing my best.
