Though, ender_wiggin, it is possible to get an idea of the size of Fort Rogan (physical size and population)? I guess I always half-thought that the Fort was small enough population-wise that we would at the very least know of each other. sword-dancer: For Rodderic, if he's a hired gun, then Damon would know of him through the rest of the soldiers. Perhaps he has had some dinners with him in the troop barracks, and empathizes with Rodderic's losses. How old to you envision Rodderic? I think that would define a lot of the dynamics between our characters. If about the same age, then a brotherly appreciation; if Rodderic is older, I can see a different dynamic. Maybe something he at first aspires to be (because of skill set), but later on realizes that he never wants to be that depressed... and maybe serves the function of keeping Rodderic sane... giving him something else to fight for.Raigon: For Lalamil, I envision a lot of different ways a common backstory could go. How long would you picture her in the Fort for? Since before the war? If so, I could see her as almost a sister to Damon... someone in the dynamic of "he likes fighting, she likes singing, they can appreciate each other's needs, but don't often see eye to eye in how to resove a problem, still they support each other." If Lalamil came to Fort Rogan looking to liven its inhabitants, then that is something that would appeal to Damon. He is generally a positive young man, but he has a heaviness in his heart from his parents' death. Lalamil could see her role as making sure Damon doesn't get too dark.Either way, I could easily see Damon knowing both of your characters from almost the day after you all set foot into the Fort.</blockquote>
