#pre corruption

Can read an entire book, reciting its contents, within sixty seconds.

His tower is essentially an archive of his accomplishments/life. (Bet that won't encourage a massive ego...) Students do learn in there with dedicated classroom areas, but Fount isn't usually the professor. Conjured creatures of wispy smoke and blueberry-filling are.

Stern but calm personality. Corrects automatically. Voice has the tone of Shadow Milk's line in BY Episode 7: "My boy, the universe once was but an open book to me. Time and space unfurled before my eyes."

Visions of the future plague him. To know everything is to predict everything. Willing time to reveal its secrets is a power trip as well as a mistake. (Shadow Milk uses this ability sparingly because a lot more energy goes into casting with half his power gone.)

Plays pretend when his soul goes numb. Shapeshifting into common folk is briefly rewarding. Making-up scenarios with stitched dolls is briefly entertaining. Really love this artwork for a visual explanation: https://x.com/redpaandas/status/1945205487173013592.

Stressed out. Always. The magnitude varies from day to day.

Hates vulnerability because he's supposed to be the one who has the key/answers. Control freak alert.
