The temptation, when adapting a really iconic detective, is to delve into his personal backstory. That's the devil talking.

Even in the real world a background of "aristocrat's spare son" was a pretty common place to get colonial "adventurers." Just the balance of the resources and connections needed to organize and supply an expedition and the motivation to seek out egregious levels of wealth in the face of extreme risk rather than face the possibility of oneself or one's descendants having to work to make a living.

"But how can you justify a player character with a (non-disinherited) noble background in a dungeon-crawling fantasy game" well, the most obvious approach is a fantasy setting whose nobility practices cognatic primogeniture where, instead of "first son inherits, second son goes into the military, third son becomes a priest", it's "first son inherits, second son goes into the military, third son becomes an adventurer". From the player's perspective, it handily explains why the title comes with little material support from the family; from the family's perspective, there's an unspoken understanding that most of the spare heirs will be eaten by a dragon (or whatever), thereby simplifying the inheritance situation, and the few survivors will become great assets.

(There is, of course, the possibility that a surviving third son, having grown powerful and understandably harbouring some slight resentment, may return, kill his elder brothers with dark magic, and take over the dynasty, but in practice this almost never happens.)

How the man said:

"The future is not fixed. My choices are my own. And yet.. how ironic... for I now find that I have no choice at all. "I am a warrior. "Let battle be joined."

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

The faster you go, the slower time goes.

At the event horizon, spaghettified at the edge of physical laws as we understand and something that can barely be said to exist at the same universe, matter accelerating to the edge of the physically possible as velocity approaches c and the speed of time approaches zero

a subjective eternity at the edge

a black hole is kind of a type of vampire if you think about it. undead and inescapable and ravenous.

I know they're named after him but for reasons I can't fully articulate it's hilarious that the guy who invented zeppelins was named Ferdinand von Zeppelin
