Reclaiming Tamasi
I have been handed a lovely opportunity to reclaim what I liked best about Tamasi, despite the rough and abrupt end to her campaign.
The new character will become part of Ask Not of Amber: The Enclaves, run by the same GM as Galactic Renaissance, who kindly invited me to join and is putting up with a rather unusual character with uncommon grace.
Delphine du Vallonarete is not Tamasi, but she shares quite a bit of what made Tamasi intriguing. Fatalism, distrust mantled in propriety, noblesse oblige, managerial efficacy, a hidden talent or two, a bad marriage started too young that ended when her husband’s life ended.
And, of course, the whole merwoman thing.
Tamasi was (so to speak) out of her depth, a deep-mer in the shallows. Delphine will have to navigate an even harsher transition: she will become a fish out of water, a sea-creature who will have to live on land. I don’t plan to make it easy for her.
I just sent off a rather sanguinary intro to the GM for approval. This should be fun…
