:Hello all, welcome back to Character Conversations! Today we have Gishan Nemog, a dwarven character from the Magnifica Trilogy, with us.

Gishan: Hey.

:Well, thank you for being with us today.

Gishan: Yeah no problem.

: So Gishan, tell us a little about yourself.

Gishan: Well, I’m a geology major with a minor in engineering at Arcanus College. I live in Natick, Massachusetts… GO REDHAWKS!!!

: Geology and engineering, what’s your plan for the future?

Gishan: I’ve been working on a new type of drill that should help revolutionize mining and oil production.

: Really? What’s so different about your design?

Gishan: Heh, like I’m about to give away my secrets.

: Haha, fair enough. So, what’s it like living at Arcanus? Must be a huge change of pace for you since it’s much closer to the city.

Gishan: Eh, it’s not too different. Same group of people. It’s amazing how many people I know from Natick went there.

: That’s right, isn’t your roommate an old friend of yours.

Gishan: Yeah… Toby…

: You sound annoyed.

Gishan: Yeah I don’t know. He’s been my best friend for years. I love the guy like a brother. He and his uncle Jake used to come by our place for a meal with me and my mom, but lately… he’s not the same guy.

: Oh, how so?

Gishan: Ever since he met that elf girl, Lia’na, he’s been totally different. We used to go trolling bars in Boston for women. They’d come and go… but this one… she got her hooks into him.

: It sounds like you don’t like her much.

Gishan: Nah, she’s all right, for an elf. Definitely a cute one, she’s just got him wound up… he barely has time for his old crew now. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Don’t get me wrong, we still hang out and all, but it’s different now.

: But you have a lady friend of your own too, don’t you?

Gishan: Yeah… a human girl, Giselle… heh… We at the campus bar around the same time Toby met Lia’na. It’s weird… I ain’t seen her on campus  before then. It didn’t even seem like she knew her way around.

: Maybe she’s a transfer student?

Gishan: Don’t know, she won’t say.

: That’s weird.

Gishan: Eh, I don’t really worry about it that much. It’s not the smallest campus, so people can go unnoticed.

: How’s it going with you two?

Gishan: Can’t complain. I want her to meet Toby and Lia’na. I got to give his girlfriend the rundown, it seems only fair that he get to do the same.

: So you mentioned elves earlier, what’s your opinion of them?

Gishan: Well… dwarves and elves don’t exactly see eye to eye on much. I can’t say that I’m a fan of them. Too high-strung for my tastes and our histories aren’t the best. That said, I do think that they get the shit end of the stick in many ways. I mean I met Lia’na when Toby brought her back to our room after… um…

: After what?

Gishan: Ah… never mind, I shouldn’t say anything. That’s kind of private.

:No problem, completely understandable. So a dwarf into mining, isn’t that a little stereotypical?

Gishan: Oh ha ha, very funny! Like I don’t get that any day of my life! If you ever meet a human who can do the same thing with rocks that dwarves can, I’d like to see em try!

: Haha, I’ll let you know if I do. That appears to be all the time we have though. Gishan, it’s been a pleasure.

Gishan: Yeah yeah…

: Tune in next time for another edition of Character Conversations! Thank you for tuning in! Up next today, the trials of the elves and where the remaining 900 go from here, on 60 minutes!
