I'm looking into another female Gregor (for Thule), and I need a screenname for Solvei's dad, who is a Cordelia. Kinda stuck on both.

What does he do, is he a daring pilot of more conventional ships?

He was probably some sort of explorer before he moved to Thule to become a politically active househusband and then got assassinated.

Hmm, for Cordelia: thehigherachievement ("I don't confuse greatness with perfection. To be great anyhow is…the higher achievement."), distanceisrelative ("In the physics of the heart, distance is relative; it's time that is absolute."), resultsbeyondhope ("Trusting beyond reason is ... how I get results beyond hope.")

Some ideas from quotes from Gregor meeting with Mark in Mirror Dance. Delete underscores to taste.

nothing_without — “The fulcrum of the lever may fancy itself supreme, but it is nothing without the lever.”
we_will_find_out — “Well, we'll find out, won't we?”
quiet_time — Gregor frowned introspectively, and was quiet for a time. Hell, the man was quiet all the time.
have_you_tried — "Have you tried?"

Quotes I didn't extract anything specific from:

“The machine, the role, then becomes a handily-worked prosthetic, which serves the man.”
“What is your passion, Mark?”

"passion mark" sounds like exotic punctuation

It sounds like the title of a trashy vampire romance, the kind with shirtless men on the cover

Ooh, those are some good ones. I'm leaning towards willfindout but I might sit on it until tomorrow to see what future me thinks.
