You are correct. I guess my head is in the future somewhere... ;-)
Although I guess some stats could be considered to be in the
present... does that open up any new name possibilites?

Epimetheus
---------------------------
What is not so well known is that Prometheus had a brother, also a titan
and demi-god, but as his name suggests quite opposite in nature and habit
of thought. Prometheus means he-who-thinks-before, Epimetheus
he-who-thinks-after. Before and after. That seems clear enough. If
Prometheus was quick and decisive, thinking ahead, his mind leaping
swiftly to the essence of things, then Epimetheus must have been slow,
perceiving only later or too late where events had been leading and what
might have been required of him. His nature was sluggish. He had always to
catch up slowly with what had already occurred.
