SC - choosing a Persona

[Michael F. Gunter]

Well, I have both a 5th century welsh celt and a 13th
century tartar, and a non sca persona of a 250 ad
alexandrian roman named hyapatia...mundanely I haev trained
as a chef, been a machinist and now work in customer service
at a major food wholesalers...the only thing in my mundane
life that even comes close to anything i have for my
personae is that i can cook, and my personae cook [well,
hyapatia supervizes her servants and tells them what she
wants cooked ;-)  ]
margali
[which is not the name of any of her personae, but that is
another story entirely!]


> My dilemma is: what kind of persona may I choose? Which are the criteria
> to choose a persona? Should I choose a woman or a man? A noble or a bard
> or a nun?
> My "mundane" profession is a bard, since I am a writer and a journalist,
> and a scientist, if you consider my anthroplogical education. Besides I
> am a catholic, raised by german nuns and with a cousin who is a bishop.
> But I am fascinated by Spain during the Middle Age, a time and a place
> there three religions and cultures could live and interact, the Muslims,
> the Christians and the Jews.
> I speak, naturally, about the Spain before 1492.
> My other fascination is the Croisades and I have read and studied many
> sources about that time and about Byzanthium.
> Sorry if my asking is off topic, but I believe the choose of a right
> "persona" can help me to develop abilities and knowledges I can share
> with you and other people.
> I dont want to choose a persona I am not feeling "at home" with.
