The blatant favoritism this early on in the roleplay aside, if it's not charity, why is he any different from anyone else with money? He's not technically doing a "good deed" if he expects to get payed back.

No one said he was doing a good deed- he [i]is[/i] just like anyone else with money. He's not a good guy. He's not out there putting money into people's pockets for their sake. Honestly, if we're now arguing that Rowan shouldn't have money, he now actually had nothing. He's already been talked down to the point where he isn't manipulative or influential, so tell me, what exactly can he actually do? I've made if abundantly clear he has no fighting ability, so at this point he's being argued to a point where he is absolutely zero skill set. Let's take a look at the other character in this RP. We have an archer who has 'skill with machinery [that] is unmatched', an automaton who has very clear advantages by virtue of not being organic. Someone who has: Marksmanship, Incredible Strength, Great throwing Prowess, and Social Skills. We have someone who can fly. 

Any character in this RP could very easily, in many ways, defeat Rowan if they so desired, even if he still had everything he did at the start of this conversation. If Rowan has no money he very, very, very clearly becomes the weakest character here, and you can already make the argument that he in many ways is. Relative strength to other characters isn't an important thing to me personally, but it seems that everyone else is very concerned about it. Honestly crying foul of favoritism at this point is a little silly. I feel he was merely working with me to try to get Rowan into the RP- Of course I'm biased to agree with Mokley since I'm the one he was arguing in favor of, so I'll avoid further comment.

But all the same I have a simple solution for everyone's concerns: I'll go ahead and scrap Rowan as a character. What I originally envisioned was a character that was more alternate in power- instead of being a fighter, he got people to fight for him. It has become very clear that somewhere in my process I stepped out of bounds. At this point it would be much simpler for everyone, myself included, to simply not have Rowan in the RP even if he does get the 'okay'.
