Do you think any of your characters have been influenced by people you know in real life?
Yeah, it happens. It definitely does happen. Sarene, from Elantris is based on somebody. Most of Bridge Four is friends of mine, most of the lesser Bridge Four members. Not the main ones, but like Skar is a friend of mine, Drehy is a friend of mine, Peet is a friend of mine.
So I was going to say– What about, what’s his name?
Lopen?
Yeah Lopen.
No, not the core group. Not Lopen or–
None of those guys.
But everyone else is like a cameo of my friends that I stuck in Bridge Four and, y’know, mutilate in horrible ways.
