Narrator (Chapter Zero)

["Hello, my name is Narrator. It is a pleasure to meet you. May I assist you in any way?" -Narrator's tagline]
Narrator (Generation 10) is a character that belongs to Cesia Kloudsmouth. He originally appeared in the story Chapter Zero, an unfinished multi-genre story.

Appearance
Narrator is half-British, half-Abenaki, and clocks in around six feet. He has long, brown hair often tied back in a ponytail, dark brown eyes, and dark skin. His complexion is rather smooth, with very few--if any--blemishes. His wardrobe usually consists of a white, long-sleeved collared shirt, a black-and-gray pinstriped vest, white gloves, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. This never deviates, as his fashion sense is ruled by the standards instilled in him during the Victorian Era. Furthermore, in the left breast-pocket of his vest, there is always a gold, inscribed pocket-watch that resides in there.

His speech mannerisms are typically polite with very few contractions, although it is known of him to slip into something rather unlike him, should he get angry.

["Who the bloody hell put BLOODSTAINS in my mother's goddamn rug? You imbecilic cockroaches! "]
As he is half-Narrator, he does possess a true-form that reflects his inner character based upon his favorite genre. However, as this form is beyond grotesque and quite like garbage, there are no words to appropriately describe it. It has only ever been seen once.

History
Prior to arriving to the Character Chat, Narrator lived and worked in a facility called "Chapter Zero," known as the graveyard of all books' souls. It is his duty as a Narrator to ensure the safety of all his employees and to make absolute certain no books or their souls ever escape (unless the book is being re-read). His whole life was devoted to this facility, and almost never left it.

His past was a difficult one, after being the illegitimate and only son between Narrator, Generation Nine and a human woman. As a result, the Narrator genetics and human genetics made him have numerous shortcomings (as perceived by the elitist Narrator line). Diagnosed with dyslexia, Narrator struggled for the first couple decades of his life trying to even master the ability to read--a skill that came inherited with true people of their kind. This resulted in his father often berating him, and even once attempted to plan Narrator's death when he turned twenty-five. This was foiled, however, by a worker--a debt Narrator never forgot.

When his father retired and ceased all contact with the company in the mid-1800s, Narrator made a bold move and relocated the fiction-facility of Chapter Zero to New York City, New York in the US. Here, he felt closer to his mother, and tried to visit her when she was sick often. Shortly after her death in 1868, Narrator ceased going outside and swore off any and all human-contact, aside from those who worked under him.

Personality
Narrator is often defined by his politeness and his assistance to help anyone in need. His motivations are not entirely without fault, however, as he sees this as a force of habit to be, as his father once said, "kinder to those stupider than you." However, once he begins to develop a friendship with someone, it is usually for life and solidified in the notion that he will die for them at the drop of a hat (or take a mortal blow for a human).

Beneath the polite facade, Narrator is an angry individual, constantly irked at various human endeavors he believes to be foolish. He is also rather petty about his appearance, and egotistical (usually making situations all about him). This is rooted in the lack of care he received in his youth, and therefore always craves attention, even though he does not mean to. His cool attitude also makes it difficult for anyone to get particularly close to him, making him seem even more of an asshole than he actually is.

However, Narrator is also genuinely caring, and developed to have a strong sense of justice. Once he gets attached to someone, he will always check-up on them, and make certain every need is catered to, assuming a parental role. The switch is almost jarring, in some cases.

Within the Character Chat
Narrator was initially introduced as someone who took care of the often-confused Protagonist, only stopping by whenever it was time to go home. At this time, he usually got into fights with other characters, such as Kirby, about his priorities (in that he valued books over human life). Before the chat, the author actually intended to turn him into a villain, but as he developed, he actually turned into the main character and protagonist of his own story.

After coming in several times, Narrator became a regular character on the chat, befriending humans such as Seztra and Kirby. During this time, he also began to question his priorities as a Narrator, and began to love human beings for everything they had--freedom being one of them. The more he came into the chat, the more human he became, making him stay away from his intended purpose as he grew as a person.
