Origins
Ghim is based on a character of the same name who was played by Hitoshi Yasuda, the president of Group SNE during the advent of the Forcelia campaign world. He does not retain any depth of fame to his character, as he is considered to be a supporting character. His name and appearance are derived from Gimli of The Lord of the Rings.
Ghim was created for play in the Forcelia campaign world which was offered to TSR at one point, but rejected due to current policies. As a dwarven fighter, Ghim is characterized by the use of his Battle Axe of Returning, a weapon which he can use with surgical precision.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
