It'll most likely be a while before I get Permission, but I've been messing around with possible agents, so here goes with my favorite two.
First, Luya de Rousseau. Luya's from an original short story of mine set in future Earth; she headed up a genetic research department for a secret society. She's legally insane, domineering, incredibly annoying, and a complete savant. She's also a serious perfectionist and appears to have a form of schizophrenia.
Let's say she's from....Ankh-Morpork. Hmm. I actually don't think that would change her very much due to the nature of the city. She'd probably work for the City Watch, since she's good with forensics. Not only would she enjoy her work, she'd make her way up through the ranks fast, either by impressing her superiors or stabbing other people in the back. She'd be a human, and everyone else would be under the impression that there was something severely wrong with her. As a child, she wouldn't have understood that, but as a teenager and adult, it made her cold and distant.
Her partner, Samkim Upton, is from an old Game of Thrones fic of mine set about twenty or twenty-five years into the future of Westeros. He was Arya Stark's son. I think. Yes, I know it's rather ridiculous. In his revised form, he's severely paranoid, has OCD, and has a phobia of Furbies. He's also quite good with technology and has an apparently eidetic memory. He's proud and resents anyone insulting his intelligence.
Let's put him in the Pern-verse, shall we? Well. He'd most likely specialize in one of the crafthalls, since he's good with technology. He'd also be more open-minded to supernatural happenings, since Pern has the dragons and fire-lizards and all, and he'd have grown up with them. Most likely, he'd be less sarcastic and biting, and be quieter and more patient due to all his work. He'd definitely be less proud as he'd have a sense that he was a less important member of the community.
Hmm. This really made me think about these two... now I really want to get Permission so I can start writing their missions. Their respective disorders should make for a very interesting relationship.
