and many seek him out for information. Essentially, Ivras' most popular (and grumpy) librarian.

02 — Personality
- very grumpy, very much doesn't like to be bothered. However, owning and running the largest library in Ivras and lurking in its depths means he's very much always bothered. There's a reason he carries a flask on him at all times.
- he keeps a detailed history of Ivras and other countries stashed away, and writes many stories that end up floating around. Despite the novels being rather well known, he wrote them under a false identity, and takes solace in his library.
- Pollux doesn't like people, he really doesn't. but if you have some sort of respect for books and a craving for knowledge, he might warm up to you a little more.
- being his age, he knows a lot of things he probably shouldn't, and is always silent about most of it. he doesn't like to stir up trouble. as of late, he's been looking into the phenomenon of monsters, taking field notes and the like during hunts.
- he's almost celestial in nature, though that can't be true, right?
- while very educated in books, Pollux is an absolute horror socially; he doesn't pick up on cues all that well, and tends to have a lack of sense when it comes to street smarts. it isn't that he's dumb, he was just raised in a very academically inclined manner.

03 — Background
- Pollux was born outside of Ivras, in a country to the northeast, nestled against the coast of the continent. This place was beautiful, and ethereally strange all at once. A civilization that thrived off of knowledge and magic, with libraries scattered around the entire area.
- Pollux was born as a 'Celestial', or that's what they told him. Born with magic on his breath and a strange appearance, to the shock of his very plain parents. He was shipped to where all that were born like him went to learn. It was a place of knowledge and history of their connections to those deemed as 'Celestials'.
- The 'Celestials' were deemed rare, a gift from the heavens and deities that the peaceful society surrounded. They were a dying breed, however, and Pollux was the first born in over a hundred years that was so vastly ethereal and unreal looking. They took it as an omen, for the better.
- Pollux grew up academically inclined, and socially inept. Not that he can't or couldn't be social, he was just extremely awkward, and found more solace in books than anything else, even his own magic. This did, however, spark a want to explore and learn all that he could about everything around him.
- The city was purged in a cataclysmic event; a tsunami wiped out the city, and Pollux only survived because he was away. When he returned, there were no survivors, and the city had been half pulled out to sea.
- With his head down, he traveled far, clamming up hard.
- Pollux ended up in Ivras around the year 770. He began to instead catalogue the growing nation's timeline, finding a happiness in being able to write and watch it grow. As Ivras grew and matured, so did Pollux's library. It became a beacon of history, with collections of every happening that he heard of and knew of.
- At the same time, Pollux also wrote several books over time, each one under a different pseudonym. Some were feared, speaking of magics and places that worshiped magic, fictional tellings of beautiful lands and cities. The magic speak spooked many, and he didn't write more until only around 1200.
- His library is the place where a vast amount of Ivras' knowledge and history is contained, however, this is now just a legend. Many don't believe such a place exists, but he's happy to be on his own in a place where no one believes is real.
- Many think his library is just a normal library, and in a way it is. The oldest writings and chronicles are locked deep under the surface, in the darkness of his own magic in a basement that no one finds or knows about.

Darkness Manipulation
Pollux controls shadows, which is an odd thing considering how celestial he looks, but it proves that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
At his current level, Pollux can essentially use shadows to cloak areas to make them seem like empty dark rooms, or even possess the shadows of other things. For now, he can control the shadows of inanimate things - like books - and can move them around to put them away.
As it grows, he will be able to control and puppet others via their shadows (with permission), but this is limited as it can only be done in well lit areas or on nights where the moon gives enough light to allow shadows.

- Magic does not work or has no effect except under specific circumstances - Pollux's ability is limited to where shadows can exist. He cannot use his magic in total darkness.
