Scott Spotson asked Joshua C. Cook:

Hi Joshua! Your character, Cendan Key, is such a sweet, thoughtful, and socially awkward character who is endearing. How did you think of him? Is some of his personality within you? Or someone else that you know?

Joshua C. Cook Cendan is at least partially based on myself. I tend toward the analytical, so that's very much me. The rest of him is actually based on a character I played once in a play. I used to be into theater pretty hardcore, and did a lot of plays and various improv things. Cendan is based off an improv character that I kept returning to. He was fun to play, and when I started laying out the Cendan Key mind map (I mind map all my characters) that old improv persona came into my mind right away.
