Maybe its influenced me more than I thought? oO<br /><br />I'd say the whole fertility-untapped bit describes what I was thinking with her.<br /><br />I haven't read it, no. Their situation is based off one of my friends'. Except, they're both girls. *shrugs* I was thinking Innocence, but maybe Purity is a better idea.<br /><br />Zeke has the potential to become one of my favorite characters. He was inspired by a shirt I have that has the first verse of Poe's 'the Raven' on it. But in character is definately influenced by Shakespeare. Perhaps of Word? I could definately see him using difficult words to cause frustration in the players...Rae7910819https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460024572204621629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089898838721056572.post-47311417186972781752009-05-21T20:24:52.668-07:002009-05-21T20:24:52.668-07:00Fun stuff, especially Zeke, and things I found sur...Fun stuff, especially Zeke, and things I found surprising on this list. The masculine as evil is an intriguing twist on tradition, though I've been seeing more of that lately (for instance, Anne Rice's "Queen of the Damned"). <br /><br />I'm surprised you have the very Maidenly Camri as the goddess of Fertility. It's almost as if she's fertility-untapped, more potential than practice. Or maybe I'm reading too much into her. Or not enough.<br /><br />I love Thorn and Gera. Have you read Camille Paglia's "Sexual Personae"? Kinda reminded me of her comments about guys in the opening chapter. I'd suggest Innocence or Purity for Gera's other attribute. That would play into the hopelessness of Thorn's affections and also touch on traditional Western dragon imagery. <br /><br />For Zeke, maybe Messengers? Jesters? Advisors? He reminds me of Shakespeare's holy fools.<br /><br />Fun stuff! Thanks for sharing.trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.com
