You told me that I needed to develope Galion more (which I agree with) but when I tried to with the Lycanthropy comment, then you all ganged up on me and told me how I shouldn't have said that. Not to bring up an old topic, but I'm confused of what you want from me.) (Developing your character more is not exactly what I had in mind.  I don't know about anyone else.  What I was trying to communicate is that your character should act in accordance with what he IS.  A 900 year old head of the Crystal Tower.  Logically, such a person/elf/whatever, would most likely not ever leave the tower.  But if he did, he would have a compelling reason to do so and would act like an old mage, not a young man on a road trip.  You are trying to make a square peg fit a round hole.  It could be done, but it would take a lot of skill.

We only took exception to the fact that you seemed to know something you could not possibly know. It would have been better to have Galion think to himself that there was something odd about Anwen and Strogg that he could not quite put his finger on.

My ideal would be to see you create a character which would be more likely to fit into the group. If you are not going to do that, then you need to figure out what motivates him, just as an actor would do. Remember that you are coming in at the very end of the RP and we are almost done. It takes time to develop a character. Torene has been developing through four RPs and she is obviously more complex than Anwen, who has only seen one. Makoru has developed over more time than Torene. It ain't easy.)
