AGE: 30

GENDER: agender (afab, they/them pronouns)

SEXUAL ORIENTATION: biromantic asexual (although they haven’t put much thought into it before, with their openness to all genders coupled with their general disinterest in sex this is probably it)

DISTINGUISHING MARK(S): scar on their upper right thigh, scar across left palm

CLOTHING: practical, almost severe clothing - tailored blouses and slacks in a series of blues and greys; tempered slightly by nicer-looking jackets/blazers because they get cold easily. their only indulgence is earrings, sometimes dangly, sometimes a shocking splash of colour against an otherwise bland outfit. a lab coat most of the time, since boarding the es kolbe.

I N T E R I O R

FIVE POSITIVE TRAITS: adaptable, independent, contemplative, decisive, meticulous

FIVE NEGATIVE TRAITS: surly, blunt, perfectionistic, cynical, phlegmatic

USES DRUGS?: no, absolutely not

GAMBLES?: a waste of time, but if their pride is provoked enough...
