The [[smiley]]s have also served me in this capacity.

In Breeman I have tried to create a voice of moderation. Whereas many of my PNPCs show some kind of extreme Breeman will try to correct these flaws. Though when he encounters such flaws in himself I use the opportunity to produce interesting metaphors. | |||

===Character Development History=== | |||
Here I will give a brief description of the characters I have invented, in chronological order. | |||
[[Jan Droogendyk]] was drawn from my own experience working for an old Dutchman on a farm during the summers of my university years. He was a stern man but also one who taught me a good work ethic. | |||
[[Ithaca Ellens]] was based loosely on Ellen Ripley of the Alien series. She was left aboard [[Science Station 7623]] to shut down a transwarp conduit experiment. She was inocculated with an experimental anti-radiation syrum but she was tormented by voles (common term for rodents throughout the galaxy) during the aftermath in which she waited in vain to be rescued by her comrades. Her story itself was based loosely on the strange guilt complex expressed in HP Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls" and also on Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." | |||
[[Patri Jia Kom]] was a character whose story consumed my time more than Breeman's. This eventually led to a major incident involving a marathon sim. In short, she was designed to explore human emotion from the standpoint of a human outsider. She was a quasi-romantic heroine in that she was tormented by the consequences first of divorced parents and second of a botched slave tagging attempt that left her with a prosopagnosis preventing her from recognizing her parents. | |||
Patri's story and its subsequent closure as a result of the emotional ramifications of my getting far too deep into it, prompted me to create a much less tormented female character, | |||
[[Sarah Novak]]. | |||
