__________________KNOW THYSELF

Appearance:
Nell has an attractive, smooth face hidden by spectacles and untrimmed red hair.  His eyes are gold.

Personality:
His lack of a variety of social interactions for the whole of his life has left him oblivious and naïve.  He has a sweet disposition, is accommodating and kind, but often doesn't have the sense to be fearful or hesitant, even when he should be.  Having never experienced real danger, there's a certain recklessness to him.   

History:
Nell has spent much of his life as a scribe and historian, shut up in libraries from a young age as he trained as an apprentice with the royal scholars in Arca's palace.  He has never left the city. Currently at work deciphering the oldest hide scraps and stone tablets within the royal libraries.

Strengths:
He can read, write, and speak many languages, including several ancient and long-dead ones.  The magic in his Serenian blood manifests itself through his writing and speaking.  Words he writes or says can often channel magic through their meaning.  This has rarely activated, for he has rarely had a need beyond the occasional intellectual curiosity.

Weaknesses:
Unbeknownst to him, a certain collection of old books written in a language predating Old Serenian have burned arcane enchantments into his mind, some of them benign, some of them wildly dangerous, and some of which ambitious individuals might covet for their own use.

Likes:
books, libraries, Arca, conversation

Dislikes:
not a whole lot! He's a pretty laid back guy.

Commentary:
Been around in my head for years, now joined. :3
