Being a multidimensional being is complicated. Especially when you're a multidimensional criminal. But being able to dimension-hop and bend your surroundings to your will makes things a bit easier. Hiding out as the boss of the biggest library in the world (that you designed yourself!) seems as good a plan as any.

EMPLOYEES: Sure they're, like, a found family or whatever, but they're also extremely dysfunctional.

The... The Boss

• T H E B O S S
  • Age doesn't quite work in interplanar voids.
  • 7'0 when in their corporeal form. Very Very Large when not
  • Weight fluctuates. They can decide based on convenience
  • Doesn't really have a sexuality or gender, y'know, being an interdimensional void being. Does think humans are 'cute' tho. They/them
  • They're from the interplanar void (or 'the goop' as they call it.) Uses an RP English accent tho
  • Occasionally mentions that they're. Y'know. An interdimensional criminal. But never tells anybody why and just laughs about it if ever asked
  • Has a thing for specifically people who's names begin with R? There are 11 employees with R-names. That can't be a coincidence.
  • They live in their office, which changes constantly depending on how they're vibing - it's never just an office unless it absolutely has to be
  • HATES wearing clothes. They wear them for the sake of 'being polite' but since they don't need to, since they don't have a human body, they just don't most of the time
  • It's also very hard to find clothes with four arms. The arms aren't the problem though, obviously. Having four arms FUCKS because they can do all sorts of stuff at once!!!
  • Extremely nonchalant about practically everything. Does NOT know how to talk like a professional and is NOT going to learn

Upper Management

  • Who knows.
  • 6'7
  • 187lbs
  • Also an interdimensional being soooo, aroace agender. He/him
  • Not human. Vaguely tan with a London accent
  • One of T H E B O S S's disciples. He and Psi are "identical twins"
  • The more... 'professional' of the two. Maaaaybe a little bit too sarcastic sometimes, though.
  • Can 'talk' to Psi telepathically. He does this a lot because he's too lazy to go find him physically
  • Half-in-charge of hiring, holiday approvals, payments, etc. Despite being the more professional-sounding one, he's... not fantastic at the job.
  • Doesn't really like his human guise, and drops it whenever he's able to
  • Tends to mess about with phone games whenever he's "not busy" (read: he is but he's too bored to do any work)
• Psi
  • Who knows!!! :D
  • 6'7
  • 187lbs
  • Aro/ace, agender! He/him!!
  • Not human!! Kind of on the tan side, London accent!
  • The other disciple :) identical twins with Iota - AKA they chose one form and couldn't be bothered to figure out another >:3
  • The fun one! Uses a lot of emotes and exclamation points!! They might not be PrOfEsSiOnAl but they look fun >:3cc
  • Only really talks to Iota telepathically if he's telling shitty jokes. Tends to go find him most of the time if he had tried to talk telepathically
  • Half-in-charge of... the stuff Iota's also in charge of. He's actually better at it than Iota, which you wouldn't expect when he draws little :3s on holiday approval forms
  • Quite likes his human look! Quite enjoys having hair that he's able to actually tame instead of it... defying gravity all the time
  • Actually quite enjoys doing work! Being productive is fun and satisfying :]

  • Doesn't have a fantastic work ethic but he gets the work done efficiently when he can be bothered so he's excused

  • Ok so maybe he's not good at many things including His Job but the one talent he DOES have is... surprisingly, baking. Provided he makes sure all of the egg shell is scooped out of the mix and stuff, he actually bakes some pretty good food!

One time he was the only IT staff in due to a scheduling error and he was tasked with re-wiring a bunch of the server modules and after about three hours of sitting around doing nothing except hyperventilate he said fuck it and rewired it all randomly and. Everything seemed to work perfectly? Like, better than before? Weird, that one.

Everything - height, weight, build, race, hair, birthmarks and imperfections, even their accent - the only thing that doesn't change is their eyes - always blue with heterochromic flecks of gold - and the fact they look to be in their ~20s.

  • Pan, cis
  • Kenyan, English (Londoner)
  • Would be head gardener but there's only two of them. Does the majority of the work on actually growing and nurturing the plants
  • Might actually be some kind of fae? Like, the flowers seem to just, grow the second she touches the soil...
  • Can't help sometimes just... taking a cat nap in the sun of the greenhouse. I mean sure it's like, still open, but the visitors are nicer than to disturb her
  • Listens to music often whilst at work. Ends up getting real into it and dancing as much as she can without drawing attention to herself (think like. Hand gesture dances and vague wiggling.) It's Very Cute
  • Pretends to hit on Neil - they both know it's a joke, don't worry - but they are actually super close friends. You wouldn't tell, Neil being How He Is, but he like, says good morning to her. You wouldn't BELIEVE how rare that is
  • Keeps a sunny disposition about her in the nicest way. Ever the optimist, ever insisting tomorrow will be better. It's a welcome change of pace and it feels safe with her. :)

  • Ace, gay, cis
  • English (Londoner)
  • Works more on displays and layouts as well as keeping the greenhouse clean. Keeps a small section of fungi in a little room under the entrance steps
  • There are mushrooms growing out of his hair. They're not even gross ones it's like. Amanita and Enoki. How are they there. Is it possible to hyperfixate on something so hard that you start physically manifesting it.
  • He's actually really sweet once you get to know him!! It's just that he's quiet, tall, and wears all black. And looks like he might be a zombie.
  • WILL infodump about whatever fungus trivia is (and subsequently tangent off into fungus trivia that isn't ) relevent if you present him the opportunity. It will be almost entirely monotone as he usually is but trust me he's excited.
  • Doesn't often do it but when he ties his hair back...... well. Eyes Emoji
  • Only really reads gothic literature, which, looking at him... yeah. Yeah that seems right.

NON-EMPLOYEES: Visitors, families, intruders. You know the drill.

• Mulligan
  • God who knows.
  • Kind of hard to measure when he walks on all fours... and, uh, won't let anybody near him.
  • Whatever he decides he wants to weigh.
  • Sexuality and gender aren't really... a priority
  • Interplanar lion-rat thing... with an RP Londoner accent tho
  • He's not meant to be in the Librarium. T H E B O S S does NOT like him. That's one of the cons of making the largest library in existence though. He can just kind of... hide out.
  • For some reason nobody ever questions him? Not even visitors? They do avoid him though. Pretty much everyone knows better.
  • Extremely grumpy. Just wants to lounge around and sleep.
  • All interplanar lion-rat-things know is be angry, sleep, climb on top of bookshelf, be a nuisance, scare people off, and lie
  • Growling is demeaning but he WILL if he needs to. Only so you get the message to fuck off tho.
  • Is... also an interplanar criminal. For different and unrelated reasons to T H E B O S S. The librarium really is just a good place for interplanar criminals to hang out tbqh
• Lewis Pyre
  • 29
  • 6'0
  • 147lbs
  • Gay, cis
  • Polish English (Londoner with very slight Polish inflections scattered around)
  • Very Obviously A Vampire. Well, actually, he's only a half-vampire, but that's not exactly visible, as such. He do be kinda having long canines
  • Very sweet and kind and generally lovely. Most of the staff at least very vaguely recognise him
  • Comes into the Librarium a lot but it's actually usually to either 1. get some fresh cookies from one of the cafes because Margaret is probably the best baker he's ever encountered in his life or 2. flirt with Tom. But like in a shy and gentle way
  • Only eats blood when he absolutely HAS to, which is like, when the cravings get so bad they start hurting. Even then he only drinks blood from the local butchers. What do you think he's going to do Kill Someone??
  • When he's not in the cafe or sat on the front desk you can find him in the high fantasy section! But you won't have heard of any of the books he's picked out. Trust me.
  • Not to sound like a cliche dating website profile but he does genuinely really really love long walks. ESPECIALLY in little hard-to-get-to nature reserves because they're so quiet and calm and lovely
