Eddy started out a whole-cloth creation and isn't really based on an actual historical person or person of literature, but as they've grown they've taken on the air of a Tim Curry villain with a David Bowie/Tilda Swinton kind of twist in my head. Something in the realm of affable evil, with a fashionable yet androgynous appearance.

It wasn't intentional by any means, but around the time I became an Author and started writing epic novels for the court, I started wondering "when was J.R.R. Tolkien born, again?" And I guess my username probably jinxed it, as well.

3 January 1892, so we're talking serious child prodigy, here. But is your character a hobbit?

More Hobbits are always needed  - Tolkien is very hard to beat. But for a birthday that fits along with a similar subject of work you could always have a late romantic composer like Greig, Sibellius, dare I say Wagner?

Since he's a novelist, Thomas Hardy would fit better. Or, if he's a fantasy writer, maybe Lord Dunsany, although the latter would be pretty young, too (15, to be precise). Or Jerome K. Jerome, maybe?

I was thinking in terms of troll and dwarf content really - but I'll very happily defer to better knowledge :-) - What are your thoughts MrUnderhill89?

Mathieu Pmsith (as his name might imply) took a certain degree of inspiration from Rupert Psmith, one of P.G. Wodehouse's early classic characters. Although, as he's developed, he's turned into something more along the lines of Gabriel Syme from Chesterton's The Man Who was Thursday. Which makes sense, given that G.K.C. was one of the setting inspirations for Fallen London. That does mean, though, that my character is technically more Edwardian than Victorian, at least in his inspirations.

I actually intend to create a character called Nobby, who will be watchfull and shadowy. He will be modeled after Nobby Nobbs from the discworld. I sipose he is a he and a human, but what cameo and gender should I choose?

I apologize for any and all anachronisms. I am too lazy to check some facts if I am sure they are from the 1890s or sometimes think they are.

Don't know about Cameo but only appropriate gender is the third one which makes it not sure.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

Rizamon is a female character name I created and have used in many games.
For Fallen London, I see her as inquisitive, somewhat impulsive, seemingly quiet, with a hedonistic core.

Morcant is an original character I have used before in a different online game (the Discworld MUD, in fact), but transplanted away from that quirky comedic-fantasy setting, he's developed into a slightly different person. Quieter, and visibly more saturnine, for a start, but he's still as eternally inquisitive as ever, if slightly less lethal now that he's a consulting detective instead of an Assassin (most days).

Myrto

This is so interesting!
I had been playing with Myrto, my main character, for about a year before their character really coalesced. It turns out that, while I was making the choices for Myrto as a pretty mercenary spy who cares for no one, I also chose the Nemesis ambition for them, which is based on a love story. And it recently came to me that I'm basing this character heavily on Snape from the Harry Potter books. I hadn't realized it until I picked up my ambition again after leaving it alone for awhile. So, like Severus Snape, Myrto is mostly in the game for Myrto's own interests, but motivating the cold, calculating exterior of this mysterious person is love.
Edith is much easier. She's an opposite version of me: wants to be famous, is willing to do anything to be in front of a crowd, wanted to be governor of Port Carnelian since the day it became available, etc.
And Jack is kind of inspired by the urchin gangs of Fallen London itself. Jack's family is a group of street kids.

I should probably be more specific- the character is an amalgamation of most far right political figures in European history, with a heavy dash of Roderick Spode about him.

Poet of once distinguished acclaim.Apprentice alcoholic. Somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun. Radical politician, playwright, duelist, archaeologist,Correspondence professor,criminal mastermind, Commander of the Auxiliary Constabulary, Leader of the League of National Populists, former Governor of Port Carnelion .

At first, the Professor was mostly a fun self-insert. After I decided to give her a proper pesonality, I modelled her as a older and grumpier version of this girl: http://strixvanallen.deviantart.com/art/Strix-164294368 (she is an old OC - old enough to have a description in Portuguese because I hadly knew English)
