- castingsinmyblood @tonyesqueda Rhys Ender is an original character I conceived for this project. He was inspired by The Bungou Stray Dogs Version of HP Lovecraft and the ultimate marvel villain Kleiser. His name is a play on the German word for traveler, hinting at an extraterrestrial origin. He might even be Cthulhu himself

castingsinmyblood Question: will HP Lovecraft be a super-racist SOB like he was in real life here?

- castingsinmyblood @tonyesqueda I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I was just letting you know that Lovecraft had some rather... unsightly world views in real life. And honestly, those views might lead to some interesting friction with the other characters. But, you do you. I'm sure it'll be interesting either way

- tonyesqueda @castingsinmyblood I might touch on it lightly. Like for example maybe he is shy around Jewish people but he ends up friending Einstein
