Think of the amount of laughter Ellum has brought to the server. He has caused a lot of trouble no doubt but he is a fool in the best sense of the word. I’m happy that he has the strength to not only withstand abuse but to thrive on it. The man is incredible.
I mean Ellum has admitted himself he doesn't really roleplay. Sometimes he tries and that's good, but for example he'll scam people out of money and lie to them but not convey it as a bad thing, and because they're friends and he's almost admitted he is very clingy to his friends, it's awkward if they respond appropriately (which would be ditching him and cutting him out of the group in a realistic situation). So yes he is the punching bag, he has pretty much no ego but the downside is he doesn't roleplay through empathy
