"Much madness is divinest sense." - Emily Dickinson
Do sanity and insanity mean anything, in a relativistic world with consensual-reality leanings?
On the other hand, there are characters referred to (by their players, by other characters, by themselves) as mad.
No absolute; but differing perspectives see things slantwise. Charm-sane may be Up-crazy.
And madness is often holiness' first cousin. Or truth's?
Characters Who Might Be Said To Be Insane
- Sosael - self-described. Mad old thing.
- Twin - What is sanity for a black hole?
- Trilogee - Quite, quite mad for one infected with the Strange...
- Nikolai - Mad doctor. Well, was mad. Still is? Matter of opinion.
- Xa - He's not really crazy, just a little odd.
- Gilgilo - Toymaker engineer driven over the edge by partaking too frequently in the Inspiration.
- Altis - Creator and director of MindLab, a self-serve personality adjustment center in Up.
