Character Information
Caliban
ii
So I summoned Caliban. She was
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsquat and ugly
Sometimes she cried. Sometimes
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe lied.
She was so sly and sometimes
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤso forthright she disgusted me.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"Come, little Caliban,
I take you by the hand
ㅤㅤㅤWe will walk upon the sand to the bright, blue sea."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤBut she knew
As we walked towards the cliff what fate I had in mind
And broke from me
ㅤㅤㅤAnd so, we run across the sand;
The little murderer
chased by monstrous me
trying to save herself
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤand me from me.
Summary?
I am Caliban. The matrix's cruel branches are my plaything and prison, for I know their every cruel song. Resonance and Dissonance. Teakettles and Brandy. Raincoats and Soft, Soft Skin. I would exact my vengeance upon this canvas that has wronged me.
Goals
If there is a God of the matrix, I would like to see him dying.
Let me comprehend whatever thing ripped the veil from my eyes so that they may be judged.
I should like to find a place where I am safe and warm and it is quiet next.

| 1 | Caliban is the name of the half-human monster in Shakespeare's play, the tempest. It is an ugly, misshapen monster filled with nothing but hate and vitriol. You can find an number of articles picking into the significance of the character from various angles and in different contexts. It is also the name given to an expensive commlink produced by Fairlight, keeping with their fantastical naming conventions |
| 3 | A quote sticks out to you, by one Russell Hoban, an American fiction writer. "Caliban is one of the hungry ideas, he's always looking for someone to word him into being ... Caliban is a necessary idea." Hungry. Necessary. Where has Caliban gone? |
| 6 | You have found Caliban. Whispers of an ugly, misshapen beast clambering across the matrix. It is a violent and ugly thing and those that venture too close will hear its mad ramblings. Ramblings about a beach and its trees and a brook and the mad ocean. Stay away from Caliban. |
