Yeah, they never seem to really interact with anyone else outside of strictly need-to situations. a big part of roleplaying is that your characters can't just be idle in the corner, not for long. a guy who expects others to initiate the first move is going to wind up pretty lonely because no one knows how to react to a guy who is basically doing nothing.

to us, your characters aren't actually doing anything, they're just being idle and might as well not be there. heck, since when was the last time Ieez actually DID something? that actually mattered?
