You don't really have to wait for the field to completely decay. With enough focus the top builders should be able to recognize even minimal changes on a week by week basis.

Also, with Dareg having gone through Alternate-style line-walker training, there is a totally new dimension here.

By taking amulets into the void and then studying their patterns there, he should be able to achieve completely new levels of understanding about how the fields work, and the relationship between the fields and the matter that they have been impressed on.

In fact, given enough time in the void, Dareg should be able to learn how to create the necessary void patterns for new field devices from scratch, so that when he leaves the void, taking these newly created patterns along, they materialize into physical field devices (aka amulets).

With [Coalescence 1] Out of the Woods having been published at https://www.amazon.com/Out-Woods-Coales ... 01MCRJ7MS/ all following posts in this thread may contain spoilers for any multi-verse book up to and including Out of the Woods.

You have been warned.

Here is an updated list of which characters in the different realities are the "same" person.

Changes since the last posting of the list are marked in red.

The list has been produced using information from:
Impulse: A Whole New Day [Infected 8 - Bridget 1]
War Day [Infected 9 - Brian 3]
Shield of Innocence [Alternate Places 4 - Zack 3]
Persist [Discipline 3]
Kindred [Young Ancients 19 - Dareg 3]
Ripped Open [Infected 11 - Cin 2]
The Mask of Omegon [Gwen Farris 6]
Scales [Demonverse 17 - Avery Rome 1]
Out of the Woods [Coalescence 1]

I've primarily included information about people that are explicitly mentioned in the books as being the "same" person.

There are some cases where a match has not been explicitly confirmed in the published books, which his kinda-sorta been confirmed by Dale on the forum. In that case the particular entry is prefixed with an exclaimation mark ( ! ).

I've also added a few entries that are just guesses, they are prefixed with one or more question marks ( ? ). The more question marks, the more shakey the guess.

A few people are know to originate in realities other than the main realities of the different book series. In that case I've marked them with a star (and optionally a number), same number means the same unnamed reality.

The reality that the Infected reality interacts with, from which Hobbs, Mary, Braid, and so on originate, was often referred to as "Hobbs' World" in the Infected books, so I'll use that label instead of a numbered star.

Here, in no particular order, is the list:

Some of those aren't right...



Many are...

A lot more match-up, pretty clearly.

Yeah, i wrote that before those newer books came out. My only proof was both smiled all the time, and both constantly went over ways to kill everyone within a certain distance of them. You know, using a packet of sugar, or perhaps a grain of rice. At the time it made sense...
