Story behind the character: Jonathan Dillis is the main character of The End of Chess. He gets all his chess pieces stolen and makes lots of friends that help him out.



Jonathan: You based me after your philosophical brother, yet I don't seem very philosophical....


Charity: Yes, well, that's because when I was younger, I didn't really know how to be philosophical, so I couldn't make you very philosophical either.


Jonathan: Oh.... But now I seem unintelligent and Kyle sounds like the intelligent one.


Charity: Well, that's because Kyle's intelligence was simply common sense. I had plenty of common sense as a kid, so it was easier to write him.


Jonathan: But why did you have to go so far as to make me go crazy?


Charity: Because, how else would you have smashed up your last chess piece?


Jonathan: But if I'm based off of your brother, then it seems so out of character. The whole story is illogical!


Charity: Who cares? It's more interesting when stories are illogical. Lots of people like Alice in Wonderland and that story is also illogical.


Jonathan: Yeah, but it's supposed to be that way. She falls into an illogical world. But your story takes place in reality.


Charity: Ah, it may have seemed like reality, but in fact it was not earth or the world of reality, but my own little world based on reality. Because it's my own world, then I have my own rules. In that world, all the things which happened were completely logical.


Jonathan: But-


Charity: Which, in fact, means that you too, though unintelligent in this world, are very intelligent in that world, because I simply stated that you were intelligent.


Jonathan: But-


Charity: And because you are unintelligent in this world, as well as illogical, then your arguments are also illogical and thus false.


Jonathan: But... but.... Fine, you win.



Charity: Yay!
