I have a lot of characters running around in my head between all my various projects. Angkor is the first Korean character I made, with Hector being a distant second. Ang is someone I might write science fiction novels about some day.

The six of us gathered around Vash’s bed in a state of silent shock. It had been less than twenty-four hours since Rutha's testimony... the one in which she'd given incorrect information as to Baldr's next move. It was timed so perfectly that th...
