skinner facts below:
Hugo “Sototh” van Ruin – the mad "historian?"
Specializes in “history?”
Has the ability to recognize and activate the alien properties of everyday objects, their origin.
Once triggered an object to explode, losing his eyes and a finger. He wears glasses that let him see anyways, which is apparently what glasses were for.
His language for talking about these artifacts and properties is unusual. He can teach others to use specific objects, but those people take major sanity-damage that only heals when they forget.
He frequently uses ordinary objects in wrong non-magical ways as well. For example he sits under his chair when possible, makes a gesture before opening doors, and wields a sword like a gun.
i think past me made him up for in case i ever a spell game even though he works completely differently. i love past me.
yes history and historian with both a questionmark and quotes, this guy deserves it.
challenge: his name references characters from litterature by two authors, which?
