What's wrong with Mars and Jake's dialogue? It's not too often you get a jock bromance in an rp lol

If you cover up their names, it's essentially one character talking to himself. There is no distinction between the two; they both embody all the same traits that make Mars dislikable. Except now there's two of him. Bonding primarily with an NPC just seems kind of counterproductive to me as roleplay is collaborative storytelling: the whole point is to interact with other people and their character.
