Master Librarian--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Age: 2000+
Gender: Male
Race: Skeleton, Unknown (Before death)
Alignment: True Neutral
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical Description: Verminous is a skeleton in a rotting cloak, the color long since having left it. Interestingly enough, though, even with several features rotted away or having fallen off, it doesn’t look like Verminous could have be the skeleton of a human…
Personality: Verminous prides himself on being an excellent librarian even after years of death. Mellow and generally very quiet, Verminous prefers quiet study and a good read to contact with people; which is strange because usually he enjoys reading books of their life as they get written (see Equipment). Incredibly secretive yet curious to know other secrets, Verminous is a nice enough guy and, though he may not share many details, he’s never outright mean to people even if they’re mean to him.
History: Verminous has never divulged his own history, preferring to read about the history of others. However, from bits of information gleaned from conversations, many have been able to figure out that once he was an adventurer or magician of some kind, but something happened that robbed him of his interest to go out and explore the world or fight baddies. Now he prefers to work at Taiyomashi’s library as the night manager, and hide out in the back with the more ancient and forgotten/forbidden tomes…
Equipment: Verminous uses spellbooks to focus his magic, and has been around for long enough to create grimoires of all shapes and sizes for his own personal use. He also creates books enchanted to write about a person’s life, while they’re still alive – words appear on the page as they go through life and do every single action.
Abilities: Verminous originally got his name from some of his first conjured spells, all having to deal with nature and the control of rats and insects. He has no objections with the name even though he can cast several different kinds of spells, as he prefers those from the nature domain anyway.
Other:
To imitate the creaky echo behind Verminous’ voice, his text is purple. Also, while very interested in the lives of other beings and the gathering of information, he often can’t do much to interfere with them – or won’t.
