[@OfWindAndRain] No, criticising someone's character when you're not the GM [i]is[/i] being an arse. If you have an issue you should take it to the GM and/or the player privately. It's not like your character's premise is perfect. If [@Hysoka] wants a character who discovered dino fossils in a slightly unconventional way, why can't he? In the real world dinosaur fossils are found by non-paleontologists all the time.
