____________________________________________________________________ ) | ) | ) FROM afar, Reader looks like a morphic snow leopard. Standing | ) at 2 metres tall and sporting a thick tail of almost that same | ) length, the muscular creature might at first glance seem quite | ) intimidating to smaller individuals that do not know him, a fact | ) the feline is acutely aware, and ashamed of. | ) Looking closer, the details begin to look off somehow; the | ) shape of a spot here, a rosette there, the way his jawline seems | ) unnaturaly angular. In fact, what you see is not even fur, it's | ) paper! Layers upon layers of paper, all interconnected and wrapped | ) into the shape of a feline, the cat's body pattern merely printed | ) characters that seem to be constructed of yet smaller characters, | ) which seem,... Even the grayer areas on his back, pads on his | ) palms and his eyes are shaped paper of various textures and gloss, | ) covered in printed ink. | ) The complexity of his body seems to largely depends on where | ) you're standing. Standing further away he looks like an infinitely | ) complex origami, body a smooth white surface, covered in barely | ) visible seams and 'natural' snow leopard pattern, however moving | ) closer the smooth surface seems to fray into increasingly thinner | ) strips, creating the illusion of fur. | ) Despite possibly daunting apperance he seems to always move | ) and talk in a slow, thoughtful manner, almost overly careful where | ) he positions his large body. Reader's only clothing appears to be | ) a loincloth, woven out of multicoloured paper to portray a dark | ) blue symbol, the only display of colour on his otherwise painfully | ) monochrome body. | ) | ) | ) __| ) | / ) 67 | / )_________________________________________________________________|/
_________________________________________________________ __________// | ) Reader originates from one of the many subwarps | ) that seem to have formed between the main six, in his case Up and | ) Top. Though originally an organic being, fascination with printed | ) information had him slowly remake his body, to such an extend that | ) even his memories are printed pages inside him, the main text on | ) the pages itself smaller text and so on, going down to just above | ) molecular level. Though not really paper as such, the material in | ) his body is a close equivalent, the similarity allowing him to | ) affect other printed material around him to a smaller extent. | )____________________________________________________________________|
__________________________________________________________ _________// | ) Peaceful. The feline's main interests in life are | ) stories, people, interaction, art and history. Though actively | ) avoiding it himself, he does consider conflict a tale in itself | ) however, and will as such not oppose it. While preferring more | ) pacifist interaction, his actions do seem to be at least in part | ) subject to those around him, calming around quiet, and aggressive | ) areound the more threatening characters. Whether he does that out | ) of unease or just to bond better with potencial story sources is | ) however unclear. | )____________________________________________________________________|
____________________________________________________ _______________// | ) At best, this character is Neutral, with all that | ) implies. He has have no moral qualms about others getting hurt, | ) as long as he gets A Story out of it and it does not interfere | ) with future story sources; he himself will never be a catalyst for | ) such activity however, both out of personal preference and the | ) potencial danger of others finding out. For them, he is and always | ) remains a kind, pleasant librarian. | )____________________________________________________________________|
_________________________________________________________ __________// | ) Though not actively sexual, like most Puzzlebox | ) residents he does enjoy closeness and intimacy, considering them a | ) normal, useful part of social interaction. His main interests | ) elsewhere, the cat is doubtful to react to direct propositions, | ) but might be more responsive to subtler approaches. | )____________________________________________________________________|
