I don't actually think I can write the real Caz, but this is my broad template for cynical veteran soldiers never too tired for the one last charge against evil, hopefully conducted intelligently this time.

His home's best general! His personal heroes include Alexander the Great, Sun Ce, and Napoleon, and he really, really wants to conquer the world, but is otherwise a really nice and charismatic guy.

A feudal future where spaceships are inheritable, usually along male lines. Kind of sucks.

Various people from the Eastern Empire! Mostly the secret police, right now. Funny how that turns out.

A category used for locations and minor characters in the Fonts setting. Also Ti Ciraku Niti, who is not minor, but admittedly is in the Fonts setting.

People from Aevylgolarion who don't have easy alts.

If I say "it's sort of like eighteenth century Europe except on an alien world with magic technology," that probably doesn't get much through, does it?

Her family is dirt-poor and she is going to be a star and she has no particular ethics, morals, or qualms, barring the fact that she is occasionally capable of caring about individual people, if not people in sum. Once assassinated a woman in her sixties out of a forty-year-old grudge.

She's not a good person. Don't mistake her for one.

The Tyrant's adopted daughter, and various people related to her. Implausibly charismatic and very capable.

Desperately driven to improve on the non-optimal nature of societies. We can talk about not being evil, but you need to listen about not being inefficient. Being a mastermind is harder than it looks!

Some people hide in their fantasies. Minerva decided to armor herself in hers. She is currently a hive-minded robot army of superpowered duplicates of her original self, a state she considers "losing". Has tremendous power and good intentions and is not great at using them to save the world, but tries very hard.

A very sweet girl who happens to be the Trusted Left-Hand Woman for an evil overlord. Before that she was a very unpopular druid. Arguably the most Neutral Good character I have ever written in spite the fact that she has spent her entire life working for one force of darkness after another.

The dumbassest paladin in the entire Attani Empire.

Current working name for my superhero setting.

(Background for Taipei: Founded in the 1920s by Chinese modernists fleeing the civil war, who moved to Taiwan, set up an enclave, and Westernized like mad. Dominus Zhou Xuantang took power thirty-two years ago, executed a well-timed backstab against the London and New York enclaves, changed political support to Shanghai, then immediately started enthusiastically plotting against it. Their reputation is as infamously treacherous, intensely meritocratic, and prepared to sacrifice absolutely anything for the growth of their political and magical power.

He is not from here, he is from somewhere FUNCTIONAL. He wants to be BACK there. And he is OUT OF PATIENCE solving your problems for you when someone FUNCTIONAL would not even need to ASK.
