Was that last question directed at the group or just at Roger? I'll answer in any case.
Are you out of line for saying my character's kind of a jerk? Not at all. You get to say whatever you want.
I have a bunch of ways I can react:
"Yeah, he's kind of a jerk."
"Yeah, he's kind of a jerk, but he's good at heart."
"Yeah, he's kind of a jerk, and maybe he's changing a bit."
"No, he's not a jerk. You are misinterpreting him."
"No, he's not a jerk. I didn't mean to portray him that way."
I don't know that any of these things question if he's a good person, though. Is "kind of a jerk" at odds with "a good person"?
I mean, my character does things that are questionable all the time, like him stealing a small idol from the church (the incident that caused him to flee the city).
