The more connections the better, I say. Besides, I was thinking I might prevail upon someone to npc a more modern human at some point and do a fun thread where my character gets an education in how the world turned out and you're looking mighty tasty...
I'm still trying to work out if I want an actual person from myth, legend or reality or if I want to invent someone so I can keep Cuchulain in the back of my mind while I'm thinking.
So far the only two fellows I like the idea of are Galahad and the Count of St Germain.
