	Fictional character
		Critics distinguish between "round characters" and "flat characters." The former are made up of many personality traits and tend to be complex and both more life-like and believable, while the latter consist of only a few personality traits and tend to be simple and less believable.
		The protagonist (main character, sometimes known as the "hero" or the "heroine") of a novel is certain to be a round character; a minor, supporting character in the same novel may be a flat character.
		Minor characters, or stock characters, are often the focus of this kind of analysis since they tend to rely more heavily on stereotypes than more central characters.

	Journeys to Dune: Reviews
		Dune is the only source of the spice, a drug that allows faster-than-light space travel (which is a monopoly of the Guild) due to expanded mind powers.
		Herbert uses the apparent lull (that is, Dune Messiah and Paul deconstructing his position) in the over-arching story of the series to good effect, and the opening two books are mirrored and refined by the rising and falling action of Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune.
		The children of Dune are Leto and Ghanima, the twins borne by Chani, Paul's concubine, at the close of Dune Messiah, nine years old now, and at the centre of the swirl of scheming and conniving that keep the excitement level high.

	SparkNotes: Dune: Analysis of Major Characters
		Paul Atreides carries the heaviest burden of all the characters in Dune—he is destined to change the course of the universe.
		Paul feels torn between his allegiances—to the House of Atreides, to the Bene Gesserit, and to the Fremen—and his role in the intergalactic politics of the Imperium and the Landsraad.
		At the end of Dune, although he helps the Fremen cause and protects the Atreides from destruction by the Harkonnen, Paul is nonetheless forever trapped in his role as the Muad’Dib.

	RPGnet: Review of DUNE: Chronicles of the Imperium
		The four attributes for characters are Physique (edges are Strength and Constitution), Coordination (Dexterity and Reaction), Intellect (Perception and Logic), Charisma (Presence and Willpower), and Prescience (Sight and Vision), and these are all rated from 0 (nonexistent) to 6 (peak of human potential).
		Advanced character creation starts by selecting your House Allegiance (which depends on what Great House your Minor House serves); this determines your base attributes and edges (the attributes all start at 2, which is average, while Prescience starts at 0) as well as giving you some skills and a trait.
		Like a lot of licensed settings, there's the question of how your characters will be as important as the heroes you've already read about it, but looking at the Houses and guilds and their fragile relationships, you can find all sorts of opportunities for dramatic upheaval.

		Hardcore Dune fans (and when I say "Dune", I mean those six books Frank Herbert wrote before his death in 1986) have been less than receptive to the idea that Frank Herbert's son Brian teamed up with Kevin Anderson (of "Young Jedi" infamy) to write three prequels to Dune.
		Brian is the son of the creator of the original 6 book Dune series and he has taken on an ambitious project: to write a prequel series that can complement the original books, expand the universe that Frank Herbert crated, and stand on its own merits.

	CNN.com - Career - 'Dune,' rising - November 30, 2000
		In its meticulous evocation of a universe both alien and native to us, "Dune" is considered by many to be among the English language's most accomplished works normally classified as science fiction.
		In fact, it's too bad you won't hear much of it in the screen-sanded speech he uses in "Dune." This dialect holds a mischief, a wink, a little key to this man's pleasure in the irony of his good luck.
		And while many like to refer to "Dune" as an ecological novel -- focusing on the spice mélange, water and the relation of conservation to power and sustenance -- Harrison and Newman comment more on the messianic theme.

		As one who read and adored the original Dune Chronicles, I was excited at the prospect of Frank Herbert's son taking on the project of a trilogy of prequels.

	Column 13 - June 1, 1984
		From two seminal serials published in the science-fiction magazine ANALOG between 1963-65, the world of Dune has grown to include a motion picture to be released in December, five intricate and engrossing novels, and now an encyclopedia.
		Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards as best novel, the original "Dune'' is a book which belies the notion that SF is merely a literature of escapism.
		Set 1,500 years after the death and transformation of Emperor Leto II (as told in "God Emperor of Dune''), "Heretics'' finds yet another Duncan Idaho (a ghola or genetic recreation of the original Duncan) being trained by the Bene Gesserit for a role in an unrevealed scheme.

		So, those fifteen [and we'll gloss over the problems of getting anyone to do this sort of thing] would provide character backgrounds at a general level [1] and those would be slotted into the bible [2], then these players would recieve briefings based on their individual backstories and circumstances to create the plot.
		The most important thing about the game origination is that the process ends totally at the beginning of the game (it is suggested that one of the origination team continue on as gamemaster, but not required).
		The gamemaster introduces new props and new or replacement non-player characters (assigning them as needed) and from this, the props log, and logbook, they can keep some idea how ‘things are going’ (not something I have seen any group of gamemasters, no matter how small, being capable of, except in well...exceptional circumstances).

		The new Legends of Dune series consists of Dune: the Butlerian Jihad (Tor, September 2002), Dune: the Machine Crusade (Tor, September 2003), and Dune: the Battle of Corrin(Tor, August 17, 2004).
		The LEGENDS OF DUNE trilogy details the saga of the century-long conflict, as well as the original breach that formed the deadly feud between House Atreides and House Harkonnen.
		Dreamer of Dune is the fascinating story of my father from three angles: how he created the "Dune" universe, the remarkable love he shared with my mother (Beverly Herbert), and the troubled relationship I had with him as a child that became close when I was an adult.

		But I loved Dune, and was thoroughly engrossed with the series for at least the first, oh, dozen books or so.

		I say most of the main characters because, due to reasons only known by the high ups at LJN, two prototype figures never made it to the production line; Gurney Alleck (Patrict Stewart) and Lady Jessica.
