Roger Marlowe

Personality
The definition of a bi disaster. When he was younger he was much more timid, easily being classified as an introvert and bookworm. But now he’s much more outgoing, though very unstable at the moment. He tells himself he has strong morals but that’s been proven less and less true over time. He can easily get obsessive over things. He can be charismatic and fun to be around but first impressions are not his strong suit, often coming across off putting. He uses humour to cope way too often! that or just straight up ignoring the problem. Wishes everyone could be friends and often gets himself into situations where he’s friends with people who hate each other. When he’s not having a full on breakdown he’s a fun, laidback guy to be around, he likes to have a good time! and chances are he’ll accidentally flirt with you at least once.

Backstory
Roger had a bit of an unusual childhood, his parents decided to homeschool him (a rather unusual choice at the time) due to their constant moving around. this caused roger to never really have friends, so instead he turned his focus towards other things. one of these things was the paranormal. he’d always try to learn about the local cryptids or urban legends, and when he had the chance he’d spend hours looking for any items (particularly books) that sparked his interest. however, roger never believed in the paranormal, not until later. by the time roger reached secondary school, his parents decided that they should settle down so he could go to school somewhere. these years were fairly uneventful for roger until he experienced something that would turn his interest towards the Magnus institute. Roger was a bit of a bibliophile during his school days, so he was aware of Sir Frederick Treves’s “Tale of a Field Hospital”, and when he ran across what seemed to be a first edition he was quite excited. (you probably know where this is going, so i’ll skim over it) he read it, he realised something was weird, and then he got a paper cut. however, unlike the other victims of this book he did not die. he did get a nasty infection. but after he had recovered he noticed that whenever he got sick he would be asymptomatic (and highly infectious). this led him to the Magnus institute, where he gave his statement, and eventually got a part time job in the library. from there he was transferred to artefact storage and eventually to the archives.
