Colours: gold and crimson. Several years ago, four friends lifted characters out of Dumas' The Three Musketeers to assign to each other as pseudonyms. It was in this way that Aramis came to Terre Solitaire. He has changed over time, at once retaining original characteristics and gaining those from such novels as The Man in the Iron Mask and such thoughts and deeds as I thought would be appropriate in my mind's realm. He is one of my three poets-- the most structured and grandiose of the group. Also, there lies within this Musketeer the diplomacy he became a master of later in life, the swordsmanship Porthos taught him, and the relatively unconfused lifestyle and youth of the original novel. Aramis is one of those entities which grows with one, always adding to itself through thought and actions. He may change yet again in the next hour. Dark hair and eyes. Aramis has many gifts, though they are not magical. The most important is probably his rhetorical skill. |
