Even if you don't end up playing Poul, that's a great background element to draw upon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And it's good sometimes to play characters who aren't exactly heroes themselves to start with. They can still become more likable with time and effort, or at the least they can throw the real heroes into sharp relief. Cynicism contrasts well with Culture idealism. Flaws are interesting, conflict is good.Poju and Poul also fit nicely into the whole cyber-pre-stellar-post-noir setup in general-- the whole Prince and the Pauper angle (or is it Town Mouse, Country Mouse?). The one of them travelling the world(s?), bumming around while living off an inheritance, falling bass-ackwards into money and celebrity. It's a nice precipice for a potentially humbling fall, perhaps. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /></blockquote>
