    Hey, Fawx 🙂

    One thing I’ve learned about character motivation is that there’s something valuable (and/or personal) at stake if the main character doesn’t complete the quest. So may I ask some questions to understand what you’re trying to tell? 🙂

    How do Ian’s parents deal with the fate of their friend? Are they sad everytime they’re reminded of him?

    What is Ian relationship with his parents? If he feels he can never please them (likely a character lie) he could go on the quest to make them happy (regardless if they want him to or not)

    What’s Ian’s character lie? (A character lie is something the character believes that negatively affects his/her life) If you have one, question how that could be tied into the quest.

    Is anything outside of the parents’ and friend’s lives at stake? The world?

    Why did things turn out that way for Jordan? Did someone curse him? If so how does it feel towards Jordan’s friends?

    Not all motivations have to be just, does Ian have a character flaw that makes him want to selfishly rescue Jordan?
