[sup]University Historian[/sup][/h1][/color][/center][hr]
[indent][indent][sub][h3][color=gray]Physical Characteristics[/color][/h3][/sub]
Old and wise, with a kind smile that could melt anyone’s heart. Walks around with a cane more for appearances than to combat any physical ailment. More English than you at least.

[color=gray][sub][h3]Life Before the Apocalypse[/h3][/sub][/color]
[color=FFD700]”I think I was a small child when I fell in love with history and lore, listening to tales of gods and men from my father and grandfather. I’ve spent the last four decades at the Oxford University, both as a student and mentor, dedicating my life to teaching those who were willing to listen to all I had learned. I was to retire at the end of the school year, knowing that my life was one well lived, thought I’d go on Holiday to America, lovely time of the year too; who knew what would be waiting for me.

The thing for me about history and mythos, is that I always felt they exaggerated things a little. Hercules and his twelve labors, the tales of Thor and Ragnarok, even the mighty Count Dracula; it all seemed so...excessive. Now that I live in the world that I do, I realize I was mistaken, for the legends of old were not over the top, they just barely hit the nail on the head.”[/color]

[color=gray][sub][h3]Strengths & Weaknesses[/h3][/sub][/color]
[color=green]➕ Storyteller: The books that Doc has read over the years, could fill the library of Alexandria a hundred fold. Stories are needed in these dark times to calm the nerves of those who feel that reality is out of their grasp.[/color]
[color=green]➕ Wisdom & Cunning: The two may seem miles apart, but they are in fact two sides of the same coin. Age has taken its toll on the historian who can respond to certain situations, both when its quiet or rather tense.[/color]
[color=red]➖ Frail Coil: While he’s not ready to lie down and roll over, age has had its toll on the Professor’s body and he’s not the man he used to be. Darwin is simply catching up to him.[/color]
[color=red]➖ Mind over Matter: The brain can unlock the puzzles of history and time, but it can’t help if there’s something heavy in the way, or something that requires a stamina he does not possess.[/color]

[color=gray][sub][h3]Personal Goals[/h3][/sub][/color]
Short Term: In these harsh times, distractions are the wall between survival and total insanity. He needs to keep the group’s morale up any way he can, whether its be a story weaver or an ear to lend. Only through unity can the group survive, and he will do all he can to thread the lives of one another to their singular goal.

Long Term: He wants to pass on as much knowledge as he can before his time; history is not yet dead. Like in the story ‘The Giver’, he is one of the last bearers of historical knowledge, knowledge that can lead the group from total cultural annihilation, to one that can use the past to forge the future. He knows that he doesn’t have many more years in him, and with the walkers, his life expectancy is even shorter. For all that everyone has done for him to survive thus far, he wants to return the favor in the only way he knows how; to ensure that the group doesn’t lose their humanity.

[color=black]●[/color] Intricately Crafted Cane: Heirloom to his great grandfather, a survivor of the Afghan War, Veterans were awarded this cane. Despite its aged appearance, it does hide a deadly secret inside.
[color=black]●[/color] Pocket Watch: Heirloom of his father, a sterling silver pocket watch the professor carries inside his pocket, doesn’t hurt to keep check of the time (even still has the key to wind it)
[color=black]●[/color] Copy of Oliver Twist: Probably one of Doc’s favorite books, its edges are rather well worn and somewhat torn. It was the only book he brought while on Holiday.
