Welcome! If Dirk is known in Amber we could do some background threads. Don't be all enigmatic. We have enough puzzles already.

Relatively how old is he? I'm imagining he's been around well before Patternfall.

Yes he has been around since before patternfall. How long ago was that in game time?

Patternfall was roughly 25 years ago Amber-time.
Lorelei was conceived during Corwin's visit to Rebman in the novels, and said to be roughly 30 during the very recent Flora Regency Party...

No more procrastinating for me. I have to get a history and prehistory of the game up. Just need to find the time.

Welcome Mr. Pitt. Hahaha! I loved those books when I was a teenager. I've given my son 'Raise the Titanic', not sure if he's read it yet. Is the name a place holder until you work things out with the GM or are you going to keep it? (I haven't had time to read the background threads...)

Nope, this is Dirk's name and he's permutation 3 or 4 of the same Amber character I like to play.

Ah! My bad. The choice of name and actor who played Dirk Pitt seemed to fit. I do the same. Xu Liang is on his...3rd incarnation? Maybe 4th, I'd have to go back and look.

Kat is an entirely new character. I don't tend to revisit a character, though I've done so once when the first incarnation didn't have a good run.

Post by Cody D'Avalon on Nov 2, 2022 14:42:10 GMT
I based Cody on a conglomeration of several Samuel R. Delany characters and stories with a big dose of Jeffery A. Carver's 'Star Riggers' thrown in. The Avi is from the Illustrations for Samuel R. Delany's 'Empire Star' of Comet Jo illustrated by John Jude Palencar.
Then, I realized last night that Cody is very much like Carlton Davits. A character from Roger Zelany's 'The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth'. Cody, diving the depths of the Abyss to find his M-Unit is a lot like Carlton Davits fishing for the Ichthyform Leviosaurus Levianthus...

Brian is an isekai protagonist from a comic I've not published yet and recontextualizing him in Amber has actually deepened the Celtic mythological themes
