Name: Walter Fontenette
Gender: Male
Age: 1000+ Years
Birthday: December
Sexuality: Pansexual
Special Characteristics: None
Personality: Walter Fontenette is a lot of things but uncivilized. The bearer of at least six other surnames during his long tenure on Earthland, Walter presents a stance of collective understanding and quiet contemplation. He’s never quick to judge or to make assumptions, as he always wants to consider alternatives if there isn’t solid, hard written facts. He generally keeps to himself and his work, though he does not disparage working or conversing with others. In fact, when like minds are near, he is more than courteous and welcome to opinions and insights. He is also willing to educate those that want to know more, happy to take any one person aside and teach them more about his particular knowledge base. And if anyone is able to provide him with more factual education about topics he is lacking in, he becomes a perfect, albeit hungry student.
Over his many years on Earthland, Walter has been thrown into many a conflict. This hard fought learning process has taught him several things, including how stupidity and rashness can get one killed. He often calculates in the middle of battle, quickly running numbers in his head on how to perform at peak efficiency. Many have said that he does these mental tasks before fighting even occurs; distracting his enemies with short conversation while he processed his best tactics. When he strikes, he does not hold back and ends threats with an almost primal, brutal precision. He shows very little empathy for those with weak stomachs and weak wills during tense times, relegating his strategy to cut them from the cloth of use. Afterward, he is more than happy to take said people aside and teach them exactly how they should have handled the situation. It’s often been said that Walter within battle and outside of it are almost two different people.
Likes:
- Knowledge: The ever changing world provides one with the possibility to continuously learn and grow. Walter adores reading, no matter the material, and will dedicate several hours out of the day doing so.
- Creation: The very existence of life is so rare and unfeasible that further creation provides wonder. Walter is an inventor and creator, who uses magic, science and other technologies to craft all sorts of various systems and devices for his own use.
- Friendly and/or like minded individuals: Despite being a loner for longer than some people have lived, Walter has never pushed away anyone that was willing to talk to him and get to know him. He enjoys people who are friendly or, at the very least, share a similar fascination in creation and education like he does.
Dislikes:
- Superior complexes: Despite his vast knowledge and education, Walter always attempts to meet people on the same level, as he doesn’t view himself as better than anyone else. As such, the kinds of people that do believe themselves superior will rarely find a friend in Walter.
- Emotions: Though he possesses them, Walter has always harbored a great disdain for the emotional spectrum. He believes so many rash, unintelligent choices come from humanity’s inability to harness their emotions.
- Anarchy: There are plenty of people in the world that would love for the rules to be tossed out. These emotional, senseless brigands lack the forethought to wonder at how quickly the world would burn down. Walter may not always agree with or abide certain laws but he understands the need for them in the grand scheme.
Motivations:
- Limitless Knowledge: Walter wants to know everything. He understands that doing such is impossible, as there are vast arrays of information that can’t be accessed and frankly, the excitement of that adventure excites him. It’s an endless goal, allowing him the understanding that something will continue along with his life.
- Elementary Progress: Walter invents creations for his own use but he’s more than willing to provide his knowledge to those that want to use them for impactful purposes. He believes everyone should have information and education available to satiate whatever level of hunger they have.
- An End: Despite the endless want for knowledge, Walter does not wish to live forever. He hopes that by giving back to the world and educating those around him, he will eventually find a way to move onto the spiritual plane.
Fears:
- Immortality: Walter has been stuck as a living being for over a thousand years at this point. He hasn’t slowed or showed any sign of eventually perishing and he fears that he’ll never be given a true time to rest his mortal soul.
- Rejection of Knowledge: Walter has seen all kinds in this world and those that reject education to the point of hating it are something to be feared. Rational thought is humanity’s greatest shield and without it, the weapons of emotions could burn the world to its core.
- Scotomaphobia: Nothing can slow the progress of understanding and knowledge more than losing one’s eyesight. While there are methods to continuously learn without seeing, Walter still has an innate fear of losing his ability to see the world around him.
