Lennard Dittmar

Lennard Dittmar is a 30-year-old German man and twin brother of Ulric Dittmar, as well as the co-creator of OtherSelf Online.

Early life
Born in February 1986, he was highly close to his twin brother Ulric. However, the two brothers had a different path ahead, and at the age of 14, Lennard took his first work in a library, discovering his passion for reading and writing. The two brothers grew up in a small house in the city of Suhl, Thuringia; while their parents worked in a bakery of their property. The brothers took an interest in Norse mythology, in which they would later base their work.

Adult life
When the brothers turned 20, they moved to Erfurt where Lennard worked in a public library. Lennard was too focused in reading to work properly, which led to him taking jobs in different libraries and book stores around the city, whitout remaining too long in any of them. In June 2011, while driving to work, another car crashed against his and left him in a comatose state.

One month later, he was connected to the computer GHAST, where his mind "played" the first program developed by Ulric. However, since Lennard's last memory was of the car crash, he was unable to recognize the program around him. As his brother developed the program further, Lennard managed to acknowledge his current situation, and interacted with the "Ulric" created inside the program, feeling truly alive for the first time.

Being constantly loaded into the program with no sense of hunger or exhaustion gave Lennard huge amounts of free time, reviving his passion for writing and Norse mythology. He wrote several short novels which he uploaded into Ulric's computer, one of them being the famous Miracle. The novel was later taken as a base for creating their game, OtherSelf Online.
