Origins
Parn is based on a role-playing game character of the same name, played by the Japanese translator/game designer Nao Kitagawa who translated the Stormbringer role-playing game to Japanese. Kitagawa was an ardent fan of Michael Moorcock, so he jokingly called own character Parn, "Eternal champion". However, in the game sessions, Parn was dubbed as Sanmu Senshi (3無戦士, lit. 3 "no" fighter?) from his personality: muri (no way), mucha (nonsense) and mubou (reckless).
Parn was a character for the Forcelia campaign world, which was offered to TSR at one point, but rejected due to current policies. A human fighter, Parn has a delight in using the bastard sword.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
“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)
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
