BOOKMAN, Neil Montgomery

APPEARANCE Standing at 5'10" tall, with a slender build and a weight of about 145 lbs, Neil has a body that could more or less be described as 'ordinary' - perhaps a bit light, but ordinary - nothing too far out of the norm. The same, however, cannot be said about his appearance.

With startling crimson eyes, a tangle of messy brown hair that was so dark it might as well be black, and a set of tattoos on his face and hands that share the same design as the suit symbols of playing cards, Neil is a person that's quite hard to forget. His complexion pale, it contrasts with the dark clothing he so often wears. Some would say that his appearance could very well be that of death, should it ever be personified as a young male.

Tactless, equipped with a dry sense of humour and an endless source of snark and assorted snide remarks, Neil Montgomery is a person that seems to have an inbuilt, irresistible instinct to comment on any and all situations that he (as well as any companions that he may or may not have) finds himself in. He has an uncanny ability to appear calm and composed almost all the time, being seemingly unfazed by most things and simply not caring about things that would normally enrage, annoy or irk most other people.

That isn’t to say that he can’t get angry or riled up, no – it’s just difficult to do so, and half the time, he wouldn’t show it.

However, when his anger rises to the point where he doesn’t even bother hiding it, it means he’s really angry. Beyond that, even. Woe betide anyone who pushes Neil as far as this point – though seeing as nobody has seen him this angry before, it’s quite safe to say that such incidents are very rare at its most common.

Another defining trait in his personality is his utter and total disregard for rules, orders, formalities and associated things – he does whatever he wants, when he wants to. His actions may coincide with them, should they make sense, but these things really do mean nothing to him at all - a surprising attitude for a bookman to adopt, seeing as there are many rules for them to follow. However, since his personality is so in line with the bookman rules and regulations anyway (e.g. making a point of not doing anything until he absolutely has to, avoiding attachments, staying as unbiased as is humanly possible, etc), so this attitude rarely if ever affects his position as a bookman.

In a nutshell: Neil is a person that, on the outside, appears to always be calm and collected, being largely unaffected by most things. He appears cold, indifferent, and often drives people away with snide remarks and other such things. On the inside - a side that, thanks to his job, is something that most people would never see - he actually does care, and really is benevolent in nature. The fact that he does nothing until his actions are absolutely necessary and his general snarkiness stays prevalent regardless of which side he decides to show, though.

- On the left side of his cheek, there is a tattoo resembling the suit symbol for spades. Similarly, there is a diamond tattoo on his left hand and a club on his right, as well as an oddly-modelled heart tattoo across his back.
