Chris asked Alex Hughes:

When you're writing the characters, do you imagine them as looking like any particular actors/actresses or like people that you know in real life?

Alex Hughes Most of my characters start out based on someone I know or have seen on the screen, but by the time I've spent enough time in their heads, they become their own people. Adam began as partially a guy I knew in school and partially Cat from Joan D. Vinge's Catspaw, but he's been through at least eight iterations along the way. The defining moment for the character for me was when he told me he used to be a professor, and a good one. Education was important to him, despite everything he's been through. Maybe even more after everything he's been through.
