Wodehouse's character Bertie Wooster in a SW format. 'Jeeves' is still being worked on. I would appreciate any comments and helpful advice in 'fine tuning' this character. Thanks. NOTE: for those of you who don't know who 'Jeeves and Wooster' are, they are a pair of comedic characters created by P.G. Wodehouse years ago. Wooster is a bumbling, high-class, aristocratic twit and his manservant, Jeeves, is his perfect butler and the 'straight-man' of the stories. If you can get past the inane, upper-crust slang words (so common in England's social elite of the early 1900's), the stories are very funny.

He has no title, and couldn't care less about the Empire or the Rebellion, just as long as he has money and fun. The only person he really has to watch his step around is his Aunt, because she controls his allowance. Objectives: To have as much fun as he can and avoid marriage. A Quote: "Oh, I say, old man, any news on that 'rebellion'-thingy? Sounds TERRIBLY dreadful. Say, you haven't seen the Kipper around today, have you? Blast! The blighter owes me a 1,000 credits and I was hoping to catch and collect before I went off to see Lady Velda's new Holoplay, "Baby Snooks", don't you know. Ah, well, I'll have Jeeves drop around his place this after and snatch it up before I go, eh, wot?" Merlin273@juno.com "He who controls the past, commands the future.
