Opter: do you have a retirement plan?
I never got around to drawing this one even though it's from August '^_^ he's hard to draw consistently
But anyway He doesn't. He isn't planning on retiring any time soon
He might be 90 but he has an extended lifespan so he has the physical health of a 30 year old (he finds that this makes it difficult to find a romantic relationship but that's a whole other story)
Opter is projected to live up to 300 years. So he isn't planning on quitting any time soon. Besides, he's still very much needed. Opter is on the Mage Panel, one of the two most powerful groups politically. They decide the different forms of magic, give public announcements about magic to the public, fund research, and convene with governmental bodies to decide the laws regarding magic. They're the ones who decided wish magic should be outlawed and covered up.
But anyway. Opter's presence is needed on the panel because most of the others are old bigoted conservatives who push forms of magic like "genderics" which is the field of study & magic regarding "men and women". Uofhnenne is the only one besides Opter who isn't a total bigot. Opter is a trans ally and advocate. Opter, being a 15 foot tall giant sphinx thing, has very big lungs and a face high off the ground and thus is very good at getting people to listen to him. He's also a really really good public speaker and has a way with words.
Outside of his work, Opter doesn't do much except go out to eat. His body needs a LOT of calories, so he's always going to the market for greasy fried food and sweet treats. Sometimes he hangs out with his coworker dlash friend, Uofhnenne. He also teaches at the University of Uchtensneid sometimes, which is where the Mage Panel is located. Other than that he doesn't have enough hobbies to occupy 200 years of retirement. He plans to make a retirement plan in maybe like 150 years ^_^
