To fortuna and Oni-Gil. I have used the names of your characters just for the purpose of not overloading my tired brain, I wrote here what I need those characters to do and be, etc. If you don't mind what I have (admitedly it's not that much) then I won't change the names, if you do mind it, I'll change the names and backgrounds completely so there is no similarity to your own characters.
Most of this is for me alone, just to keep my notes somewhat together, skip over the senseless or boring.
