My favorite part of this thread is Aestu's commentary about Dagr. When Tempest got rid of him, they were making a terrible mistake and he was forced out because he wasn't cliquish enough. It definitely couldn't have been a rational consideration.
To my knowledge - correct me if I'm wrong - Tempest didn't get rid of him, he left of his own accord. It's definitely true that Dagr is a very aloof individual, but the flip side of that is that he's a social chameleon - fitting in with a clique isn't his difficulty, it's forming meaningful connections to others.
Of course Tempest did, in fact, get rid of me, not because of any wrongdoing on my part nor because I hadn't made every effort to cowtow to a clique. Funny how that works, isn't it?
What revealed Dagr's character wasn't that he didn't get along with people in Tempest or RM or with myself, it's that he seemed to, used them, then turned around and spoke ill of them behind their backs while going to inordinate lengths to avoid appearing cynical or selfish (something that works only in the short run and amounts to a self-imposed fantasy).
