IN CHARACTER
NAME: Erestor
JOURNAL:_erestor_
PLAYED BY: Conor Oberst
FANDOM: Tolkien~verse
CANON POINT: end of Return of the King. Eventually, he would have gone by boat back to Valinor, with the rest of the Elves. He probably had to take all 3289343 of his books with him, though.
CAN THIS CHARACTER BE CANON PUNCTURED? Yes'm! Shoo can!
CANON HISTORY: Wiki entry! Also have notes from another game(s), which can be found HERE. For absolute lulz, please read the ERESTOR: The Owner's Guide and Manual.
IN GAME HISTORY:
Astrological Sign: Virgo - September 12th
Occupation: Librarian
Erestor's parents are university level professors, teaching classes in colleges around the Pacific Northwest. His father teaches the sort of mind-bendy physics theories that cause most of his students to develop brain melt on contact, and has published several books. His mother is a historian, specializing in little known cultures and tends to show up to class wearing native dress after a few too many hits off of ye olde wine bottle. With so many local wineries (and breweries) around, she's pretty much set for life.
Needless to say, Erestor has had a very, very, very informative childhood. And it shows. He grew up a confirmed bookworm, took classes to become a librarian, and even managed to become a editor after that. He has a eye for finding errros and fact checking in novels and publications, and will nitpick everything and it's grandmother to death, if given half a chance. He doesn't do any corrections to be mean or vindictive, but rather he's simply trying to improve things for the better, and that's why he goes through everything with a fine toothed comb.
Erestor has a penchant for sweets and his diet is primarily tea, water, vegan fare, and desserts, desserts, and more desserts. These also have to be the vegan sort and he only frequents vegan bakeries. He's very cautious about the use of any animal products and wrinkles his nose at the mere thought. He also manages to stay on the slender side, even though he's sitting on his butt behind a desk and/or reading (or writing) most of the time. He also tends to spike his tea with fruit flavored liqueurs. That means that Erestor spends most of his life in a mildly tipsy state...one that keeps him decidedly mildly mannered, sane, and prevents him stabbing any living being in the neck with a letter opener. Repeatedly. He knows humans make mistakes, that he has to put up with and correct them about. That's very tedious business for him, after all. And, to his credit, he hasn't stabbed anyone with a letter opener! Yet.
He also has a bad case of OCD and will organize everything in his kitchen (yes, he bakes, cakes and cookies and muffins), according to size, color, and alphabetically by label. If one thing is slightly out of skew compared to the rest...he will know. And it will drive him insane until he has to reach out and FIX IT so that his universe is set back into order again, and he can breathe easily once more.
He doesn't like adventure, adventuresome people, irrational people, over-emotional people, barbarian-esque displays of violence, and people that invade his personal space or insist on touching everything that's nearby. He likes quiet, shhing loud people, reason, insightfulness, politeness, conducting one's self like they aren't a baboon in public (even during debates), being informative, and being viewed as useful and helpful by being listened to. In fact, offering advice actually makes Erestor strangely very happy, though he has no idea why he feels that way, as of yet.
He faints at the sight of blood, either his own or someone else's. He's not gay but pretty much a metrosexual male. He also, when he does get snappish or cranky, has one of those voices that rises up in tone so shrill and sharp, that it gets to a level that could make a dog's ears bleed, 50 miles away. Otherwise, he speaks in a very calm, very even, very rational tone of voice, like he's telling someone precisely where they can find that book on a shelf in a library.
He is also really, really, really into watching Antiques Roadshow, American Pickers, and Pawn Stars. Basically, with the exception of Antiques Roadshow, anything on History Channel that involves historical items that are being described, bought, sold, or cataloged...has him glued to it. It's the only way to get him to get his damn nose out of a book or a computer screen.
Erestor's moved to Orange County to take up a job as a book and script editor, although he currently misses working in libraries and the smell of dusty old books. His apartment isn't the greatest, but it's profoundly neat, tidy, and very, very white...enough that he can spy a speck of dust from across the room, and kill it dead with bleach and cleaning products.
