Two new backgrounds on the fiction page today... Lucy Jane Brennan/Lucena Diamante and Dani Ghivanni. Both were written a while ago, but I'm just finally posting them, as both of those characters are far enough out of play that the details won't affect any game stuff.

What's interesting, to me at least, is that I started playing Dani quite some time ago, with only a vague background. The background I'm posting now was actually written, I think, either late in 2002 or early in 2003, and part of it is from a story I tried to write during the summer of 2002, but never got anywhere with. Lucy's background was written in the spring of 2002. What's odd is the similarities between the two backgrounds. They're both Army brats, travelled everywhere during their childhood, and ended up wanderers when they came into their existence as supernaturals as well. This isn't entirely surprising, as Dani was a Ravnos, and Lucy Jane was an Eshu... but it's still kinda odd and coincidental, especially when I'm posting them both on the same day.

What's further odd is that I have another character who was an Army brat, travelled everywhere during her childhood, and ended up a wanderer... she's a Gangrel... :) Unfortunately, that's one of the first backgrounds I ever wrote, and it's very dry... so no posting of it... :)

And this isn't the first time that I've noticed trends with my character backgrounds. Most of my characters for a good long while came from broken homes, raised by one parent or the other, but never both. I'm sure psychologists could have a field day with that one... :)

Well, at least I know where NOT to go with my next character(s)... currently, Mel has the broken home bit in her background... Paz just ran away from home to avoid getting married... at 15... :)
