CHARACTER OVERVIEW

• Name: Severine Moore
• Title: Professor Moore
• Nationality: American, Duskwick Local
• Sex/Gender: Male
• Race: Tiefling (Planar Lineage)
• Age: Ageless in that "I stopped counting after my third century" way, but vibrantly youthful
• Hair: Long, straight, snow-white strands that fall just past his shoulders—often tied back in a loose half-ponytail when lecturing
• Eyes: Slitted yellow irises that gleam with an unnatural luminance in low light, giving him an otherworldly intensity even when he's grading papers with mundane frustration
• Skin: Smooth lavender with a subtle opalescent sheen under certain lighting, paler lavender with pinkish hue on the palms and soles of his feet, completely flawless—no scars, no blemishes
• Body: 6'6" of lean, coiled strength. Looks like he’d blow away in a breeze until he lifts you onto his desk with one hand. Lean muscle hides beneath his academic attire, and his backside is distractingly perky even in tailored slacks
• Face: A study in contradictions—sharp jawline, but lips so soft they’d make a poet weep. Smiles often, sharp canines, clean-shaven, thin geometric shaped wireframe glasses
• Features:
  • Horns: Charcoal-gray rams’ curls, warm to the touch. Rumor says they’re sensitive (he smirks when asked)
  • Tail: Prehensile and whip-quick, lavender with a spade-shaped tip; flicks absently when he’s amused or coils tight around his calf when concentrating
• Genitals: Purple with fade into soft lavender at the tip, 7.5", girthy, with heavy, full balls, trimmed pubic hair
• Profession: Tenured Professor of Planar Studies and Rift Theory at DOOWAH
• Clothes:
  • Crisp white shirts rolled to the elbows
  • Bohemian vests
  • Brown slacks tailored to emphasize hip-to-thigh ratios
  • Absurd socks (e.g. witches on broomsticks or cats)
• Scent: Old books, ozone, and the warm spice of mulled cider

ORIGIN

Former child prodigy who opened his first interdimensional rift at age 12 (accidentally sent his middle school to the Feywild for three hours).

Earned tenure at DOOWAH by proving that controlled chaos is technically a "precise science". He tends to focus predominantly on academics and small hobbies more than social interactions. Created complications for him romantically with past partners; Married and divorced 3 times due to his chaotic nature and focus on scholarship.

Parents passed away a few years ago in a rift accident during his father's studies; he prefers not to talk about it. Ever since he's been more precise (less chaotic) with his rift work, but it doesn't diminish his humor, capabilities, or confidence.
