The Linguist

forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, I am going to do whatever heinous thing I need to save myself. 

Profession: Professor of Comparative Linguistics and Translation Studies, specializing in dead, endangered, and constructed languages. 

Current Country: Suggested ~ France, Switzerland, or Germany 

Age: 35-55

Archetype #59: Freedom Of Speech

Face Claim: Player choice 

Connections: 

Worked with The Curator to provide translation for rare museum artifacts 

Occasionally clashes with The Cryptographer, who prefers algorithms over linguistic intuition.

Key Role:

THE LINGUIST has an unsettling talent for finding structure in riot and intention in silence. To them, language is not fixed or inert, but a living system shaped by fear, power, and omission. A sentence is not a statement; it is a transaction. Interpretation is never neutral, and they know better than most how meaning can be bent, buried, or deliberately obscured to protect the speaker, or the listener. They arrive at the manor lightly, carrying little more than a slim case, loose pages tucked into unfamiliar bindings, and a few objects whose purpose is unclear: wax cylinders, rubbings of inscriptions, and a recorder that never seems to run out of power. What few can explain is the timing. Only weeks ago, the Linguist was abruptly dismissed from their university post, no reason given, no farewell offered. Just as suddenly, they were reinstated, their position restored without comment or apology. The dismissal was not an error; it was a warning. The reinstatement was not an apology; it was a leash. No one knows what prompted either decision, or what may have changed in the interim, but whispers suggest they translated a text they were never meant to read, a text linked to the estate itself. What unsettles most is not what the Linguist records, but what they choose not to translate. They move through the halls listening for syntax in the settling stone, decoding the house itself. They are capable of a heinous thing to save themselves, and everyone here speaks a language they know how to silence.

MEET GREER’S FIRST GIRL EXPERIENCE - THE EXCHANGE STUDENT.

{ FACECLAIM, AGE, GENDER, [SHE/HER or SHE/THEY] } Is that FIRST NAME LAST NAME? A SCHOOL YEAR originally from HOMETOWN, they decided to come to Ogden College to study MAJOR on an ATHLETIC / ACADEMIC / FINANCIAL SCHOLARSHIP (remove if character is not a scholarship student). They’re THE EXCHANGE STUDENT on campus, but even they could get blamed for Greer’s disappearance.

NOTE: This character must identify as a lesbian and should’ve spent most of their schooling outside of the US until enrolling at Ogden College.

ABOUT THIS SKELETON: Their family being long time travel partners of the Morrisons, back in their teen years, THE EXCHANGE STUDENT was the one who taught THE GOLDEN GIRL that maybe she wasn’t straight. Like, so European of them. But Greer never ended up coming out...and The Exchange Student barely spent enough time in one country to make longterm connections, anyway, so it was all left in the past. Even years later, as a student at Ogden College, The Exchange Student couldn’t be expected to spend four years in one place !!! They set off after last spring semester to go off to Europe, blissfully unaware of The Golden Girl’s disappearance. And now they’ve returned, not knowing they were returning to one student missing and one dead. Or did they ??

MAJOR PLOT POINTS THUS FAR:

Their fling left behind them, THE EXCHANGE STUDENT was ensconced within THE GOLDEN GIRL’s inner circle when they both ended up at Ogden - but they spent the last semester studying abroad in Portugal. Is it just a weird coincidence that they’re just now returning from the same place that Greer was linked to ??

SUGGESTED FCS: Courtney Eaton, Medalion Rahimi, Maris Racal, Zaria Simone, Jennie Kim, Hunter Schafer, Brianne Tju, Chelsea Clarke, Emily Alyn Lind, Simone Ashley, Simay Barlas, Chase Sui Wonders, Zendaya

CHECK OUT OUR WANTED CONNECTIONS !!!

SUGGESTED CONNECTIONS BELOW THE CUT

THE EXCHANGE STUDENT made plenty of efforts to have THE GOLDEN GIRL and THE ICE QUEEN get along in the past -  which would certainly have made their families joint travels more enjoyable for all of them. No, not even someone with that much travel experience could bridge that gap. 

THE EXCHANGE STUDENT and THE CLOSET GAY had a passionate fling, despite the latter's hidden sexuality. It burned bright and fast, started right around THE GOLDEN GIRL going missing, and ended with The Exchange Student leaving to study abroad. Surely that timing is a coincidence though !!!

THE MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL always was apart of a trio with THE GOLDEN GIRL and THE FALLEN PRINCESS - but they were just as much friends with THE EXCHANGE STUDENT. Perhaps even closer ?? Considering it was The MPDG that The Exchange Student vaguely kept in touch with last semester.

A formidable pair, THE FEMME FATALE and THE EXCHANGE STUDENT. Everyone certainly thinks so, and really, the only one who could possibly compare would be THE GOLDEN GIRL. Pity she's disappeared and will be missing their reunion.

THE COOL LOSER and THE EXCHANGE STUDENT always had the same too cool for this vibe going on, but the latter could never quite understand how they stayed so aloof. Imagine their delight when they found out about The Cool Loser's dalliance with THE GOLDEN GIRL before they left. Surely that's the biggest gossip from the last semester, right ?? ...Right ??

An unlikely duo, THE HEDONIST and THE EXCHANGE STUDENT always seemed to get along. The Hedonist surely will be glad to see a friendly face return to campus, even if it's not the one they were really hoping for - which was THE GOLDEN GIRL, of course.

THE UNFAVORITE had to be unaware of THE EXCHANGE STUDENT's past with THE GOLDEN GIRL, otherwise they never would've become friends when they were kids...Though they did fall out when The Exchange Student was apart of The Golden Girl’s circle at Ogden. But maybe things could change, now that Greer is MIA and The Exchange Student is back.

THE EXCHANGE STUDENT just finished up a picture perfect semester abroad - imagine that social media power combined with THE INFLUENCER's prowess. That's the type of thing that could get attention - and keep it, even with focus constantly on the THE GOLDEN GIRL.

BLURB

a drop in a bucket, spoken about in whispers and assumed to be a storm brewing internally for hundreds of years and waiting to burst free and show the world the chaos inside. they do not define you but you find yourself believing in the hype: you are chaos and you will create your own path and whether that is good for the world couldn’t matter less to you.

CONNECTIONS

harmonia ↪ she doesn’t even know she thinks of herself as the shepherd and all those around her are the sheep, including you. you don’t think she understands that without the sheep the shepherd is just someone standing a field leading nothing and without the shepherd the sheep are milling about and lost… and you? you are neither, but she’ll figure that out eventually, you’ll make sure of it.

ariande ↪ formless clay they see their own cracks and breaks and want to hide them away, assuring themselves they can’t be fixed, but you know better. some ancient techniques fill these cracks in masonry and earthenware with gold and silver to make them more appealing, but you? you want to fill it with void and nothing and see if the little one weave themselves a new life.

momus ↪ chaos vs destruction you don’t necessarily think of destruction as your only path, but you have a keen eye for the shape of it. you see it in momus every time he passes, your eyes keen and interested but fully aware that you would likely not combine well. chaos does not need destruction to exist, it merely needs to push against what’s normal. sometimes if the world is in peril that means to balance things so that it can be tipped the other way… your mind is full of this while theirs is full of decay and you have to say you hate it.
