[Mendax Nox Propria]

Current Appearance Mendax Nox Propria A male Nuit embraced during the Fall of 95BV at the mortal age of Twenty-Seven Appearance is Everything : Physical Description Varies upon the body Mendax takes. After taking on so many bodies with so many varying traits Mendax’s physical description can’t be written. The one thing that hasn’t changed is his lack of flair and the insistent book and inked quill. Original Physical Description Mendax was a wiry individual with black long hair that was kept in a ponytail, a man with the urge to write down the histories of everyday life and mankind in general Mendax was always seen with book and inked quill at all times. Mendax was a man with no care for coloration or flair; his clothes were basic and Spartan in all aspects. Concept and History : Character Concept An Immortal wander scribe set on his unlife-long goal: Recording as much of Mizahar's history as possible: from pre-Valterrain and Protohuman Eras, to the present day, and hopefully into the future as well. Character History Born in the city of Zeltiva in the great Alahea Empire, Mendax grew up in a highly educated social structure and society. Even at a young age Mendax wasn’t one to enjoy the ocean waters and go swimming or any nautical activity, instead he much rather enjoy a good book or two of stories or poems. Having been mostly self-taught, with his parents teaching him the basics of reading and writing, Mendax was always hungry for more knowledge and more understanding. So, when it was time for Mendax to head off to the University in Zeltiva, he quickly enrolled himself into as many as classes as he could. When Mendax was finally finished with his education, he was still hungry for more knowledge. It was time to venture off to the wild, where he was immersed into the full savaged surroundings of Mizahar at the time. For several years Mendax traveled and learned what he could from other cultures and locations, artifacts and tomes, until finally he had to get over his lack of enthusiasm towards boats and make his way to Sahova. While in Sahova Mendax felt at home with the scholarly undead and decided it was time to do something to increase his lifespan and his ability to learn more. Mendax decided it was time to become one of the undead… A Nuit. So far several more years Mendax enjoyed the lengthened duration of his lifespan as scholarly solitude learning as much as he could before the unheard of happened… The Valterrain. Mendax fled underground and remained there in a state of mostly dormant conciousness until after the Valterrain ended and he could come out and continue on with his life. For a few more decades Mendax lived at Sahova, before finally venturing back to the mainland and to chase after his hopes and dreams of making history known to all.
