One of my first choices was avoid names popping out from balloons. Except the brother healer for which I was inspired freely by my rare encounters with Dr. Forita, and an improbable Cyclops-Hinoserri, I don't refer to anyone in particular, just characters I enjoyed to meet and whose behaviour I've bent to my own purposes. There are many, in fact, that I simply don't know because of, alas, my scarce presence in game.
If someone sees one of his chars in one of my scribbles, I'm glad
I'm always trying to draw and make fun of some NPC characters, eventually only the Ochtarcs will not be pleased...
On second thought, looking at the strips, I've been inspired a bit too much by Dr. Forita.
There will be an Enki galore. Just give me enough time, measured in George R.R. Martin's time units...
