GENDER : Male
AGE : 96
OCCUPATION : Alchemist/Botonist
RACE : Dark Elf
LIKES :
- Tea, company, quiet conversation, sunshine and rain, sitting in his massive shelf-window in his house with a good book, being flirty and silly during off-time, sugary sweets and snacks, and loud music in headphones.
DISLIKES :
- Intruders into his Greenhouse without his knowledge, touching plants they don't know, touching potions in glass bottles, loud noises, interruptions during an experiment, gossip, nettles.
LOOKS : ~ Temporary Ref ~
- Circe is a lithe nocturnal dark elf, and has dark blue skin, small rectangular glasses, long pointed ears, slicked back/messy spiky black hair, and grey eyes with a white iris and no pupil. His vision is much better designed for night and evening work. He has small fangs which are hardly noticeable, and has small, teeny claws. Generally, he wears fitted long black robes while he works to keep things simple in case he spills anything on himself during experiments and testing, though occasionally he will wear a simple black and purple vest, and black arabian-like puffy pants for breathability.
PERSONALITY : ~ Neutral Good ~
- Takes his job particularly seriously, though he's always had an interest in plants and working with poisons and magic for potions and general scientific research for what reacts to what. But aside from taking work seriously, Circe is very open, easygoing, and known to be rather eccentric and occasionally strange. His odd mannerisms make some aware that he is very socially awkward. At least until he gets to know you.
At work, he generally keeps to himself, preferring to get as much done as possible with as few interruptions as he can manage to stave off. At home, or at least at lunch or on break, he loosens up and tends to be seemingly laid-back and talkative. Circe has a penchant for fun, and doesn't like taking life too seriously. He has a belief that at some point in the day, everyone must stop, breathe, and enjoy the very feeling of existing. Though if someone's going through a hard time, he's also the first to stop what he's doing, make tea, and grab a comfortable pair of chairs to sit and talk about it.
HISTORY :
- Circe grew up with his dark elf parents in a relatively peaceful and quiet childhood in Durem, however he decided rather quickly and young that he'd much rather move on and get his life started. Science class was one of his favorite classes growing up, but he was never satisfied with just learning about chemicals and plants; he wanted to study both and study magic on the side just out of general interest. When he was little, he'd had multiple potted plants in his room, and already knew most of the needs of basic houseplants by the time he hit high school. When Alchemy was discovered, he'd finally found what he wanted to do as a career.
He'd gone to college in Durem for two years in Botony and Biology, and then moved on for another four years in Chemistry. While in class for both at the time, he'd taken the time to learn transmutation and alchemeical bonding, applying that to a class he'd taken later after graduating for another round of schooling in actual Alchemy itself for a further two years. Young for a dark elf, he'd already gone through his 12 years of regular school, and a further 8 in his field. The years after were spent in apprenticeships, and then years later owning his own Alchemy and Greenhouse.
