(mostly just jotting bullshit as I think of it, so wip)
name: geoffrey edmund snelling
past names:
gwɨroɣnọw/eirognous
godric dean
richard godric stroud
edmund richard prescott
nicknames: geoff, twat, dickhead, joe if you want to go missing in the bristol channel
psuedonyms: royse grey
represents england, not britain or the uk. please don’t associate him with those sheepshaggers he has to share the island with. born near corinium dobunnorum (modern day circencester) in glouchestershire county on the western side of the country
sex/gender: male
sexuality: demisexual biromantic with a preference for birds
age: idk he’s like 2100, old enough to have been born a celt to the dobunni tribe. he vaguely remembers the romans and looks about 30
height: suspiciously short (5'7")
weight: not enough (162lbs), but still has a mean one-two from a few centuries of prizefighting/boxing
appearance: fc is burn gorman, so he’s kinda goofy looking
physical: mild pectus carinatum, pineapple allergy
mental: depression, ptsd, misophonia
phobias: fire, closed spaces and stupid people
drink/drugs/smoke: yes/used to/yes
mbti: annoyingly intj
alignment: lawful evil lawful neutral
religion: atheist disguised as a subversive anglican/catholic/whatever was popular at the time
languages: english, with proficiency in not using next-page translations for shakespeare and chaucer. natural accent is west country akin to that found in somerset, but has learned to adopt a more nonregional standard accent for avoiding the country bumpkin stigma and to use with non-native english speakers. can still read old and middle english, albeit slowly
debatably fluent in french and german
can read latin and greek because he’s a nerd
can somewhat understand spanish, portuguese and dutch, but is terrible at speaking them. knows snippits of some common immigrant languages such as hindi, arabic and polish
has studied welsh, cornish and scots, though not necessarily for practical use
quenya
family: disowned wales, scotland, ireland etc, in some way or another
pets: a python named monty he keeps mostly to keep away his sister a lovely sheepdog
relationship status: lmao
residence: someplace in western england so tba, but does own a home in bristol which he usually rents out
personality: an ever-curious man who is wildly interested in just about anything from biology to physics to botany, and gets a good deal of pleasure at being able to share his knowledge and have an intelligent conversation with anyone willing to listen. from his own humble background from a rural region he understands that status does not make intelligence, and loathes willful ignorance. can come off as cold with his rigidity and objectivity in his decision-making, that coupled with his self-centeredness can make him appear extremely uncaring. a problem is less concerning if it isn’t directly affecting him, and he has a hard time believing that he’s wrong.
is quite an orator and has a razor sharp wit and humor to him, but can be civil when he needs wants to be. typically, that’s around the people he genuinely likes. can insult a man in such a long-winded manner that would leave most getting lost halfway through. has a vivid imagination fueled with a love for fantasy and science fiction, which he expresses through his penmanship; he’s been writing his own novels and short stories for at least two hundred years and has no intention on stopping
stubborn and fiercely independent since he was a youth, it was his cleverness and pragmatic streak that pulled him through social ranks and into the eye of those who could find use for what he was. he expresses annoyance and irritability best, garnering only ever a small circle of friends and even fewer whom he trusted to be any form of emotional crutch. he’s maintained a stiff upper lip through thousands of years of adversity and has yet to collapse for good, so why change now

can you give more info about Darwin almost dying while studying barnacles?
People barely knew anything about barnacles in Darwin’s day, so when he discovered one that had never been documented he became interested in just what they were and how they related to one another.He decided to take a brief detour from his usual work to study barnacle evolution but found so much to them that it turned into almost a whole decade of writing on barnacles alone. His mental and physical health infamously declined as he overexerted himself producing four gigantic volumes on nothing but the systematics of barnacle reproduction and adaptation, which to this day is one of the most detailed works on any group of animals ever.As for the species he discovered that started it all his final words on the subject were “I hate a barnacle as no man ever has before.”
