==Background / Personal history==
Fennis was the firstborn in the small rural village of Lirnanvire under the care of his parents, Vergas and Salesia Lightwall- the two of them were doting parents (Maybe one more than the other) and Fennis grew up- bright and energetic, eventually followed by a younger brother and sister. For a time they had an almost idylic family life, until tragedy struck- as it does.
Fennis's parents were attacked, a former foe of Vergas's days of heroism surprised them both and took Salesia as a hostage. Luckily, Vergas was able to fend the attacker off and they both survived unscathed- physically at least. The violent experience was too much Fennis's gentle-hearted mother, fearing another experience of a similar nature- she split from her husband and returned to her home deep within the forests where she'd grown up. Crestfallen, Vergas became obsessed with tracking down the attacker who became the reason his marriage ended.
Fennis- left to his own devices, threw himself into study. Eventually his studiousness lead him to become one of "Stunten Institute's brightest students" (though for this particular Stunten Institute this was not an especially high bar), and in what seemed like the blink of an eye Fennis was 24 and had become one of the youngest professors to teach there (Again- low bar). Determined to make a positive impact on his students, Fennis was bursting with confidence, and over the 8 years of his career, became one of the most hit-or-miss teachers in the school's history (this was actually a high bar).
He became rather infamous for his habit of dragging his classes along on "Surprise" field trips and Classroom Experiments, most of which ended in complete disaster. He avoided losing his job only due to the sheer number of administrative duties he had volunteered for and quickly became indispensable for, though even this barely allowed him to avoid termination.
Nonetheless, he'd grown accustomed to his position, and believed he was a staple of the school. This made it extra shocking when he was suddenly fired for being a suspect behind the sudden disappearances of many of his students at the Institute, though it was never proven, the criticism that the school received reached it's breaking point and the Stunten institute was forced to shut down. 
Despite everything, Fennis was determined to make things right, he would find the true culprit behind the disappearances AND raise money to reopen his hometown school. Luckily, he had adventuring in his blood, even if he wasn't a teacher anymore, he still wanted to help people! Hadn't his father mentioned a certain guild that was always open to new members? 
==What Fennis Doesn't Know (As of CATegorical Success)==
Hortense was actually the founder for all of the Stunten institutes, and they were meant to be high-class schools that drew in only the best of the best, and were essentially farms for some of his more sinister “backup plans”. Despite his efforts however, not all of these schools met the standard that he was shooting for, the Institute that Fennis worked at being the very worst, with more delinquents and talentless students than most regular schools. Deciding that it was no longer of any use for him, he spirited away “The best of the worst” and allowed the school to fall apart in the aftermath, not caring what actually ended up happening to it.
== Things I would like to explore in future episodes==
* Calafla left the Lightwall home with the intention of following in her father's footsteps and becoming a respected adventurer and hero. Fennis should get to see how that's been going for her.
* Murveius left with Kyger with an unquenchable wanderlust, and a tendency to walk into lion's dens. Even with Kyger by his side, he's probably in need of some rescuing, even if he doesn't know it yet.
* Vergas is still searching for the person behind the attack, whether he's on the trail of something or not, Fennis definitely needs to vent at him for his sudden departure, it's one of the few things that Fennis *is* bitter about.
* Salesia in particular has been in a bad way since the attack that made her leave. Fennis should get a chance to relieve her of some of the guilt she's saddled herself with. Though this likely best saved until Fennis has encountered one of his other family members.
*Fennis wasn't the only person to work at the institute, Fennis meeting coworkers, or even staff at a *different* Stunten institute would be interesting. 
*Fennis has had a lot of students when he was a teacher, some good, some bad, Fennis probably doesn't remember most of them, but what might some of them be up to?
* How did Fennis's students disappear? Fennis hasn't learned of the culprit behind it, and he's still looking.
*Who was the person behind the attack on Fennis's parents, what were the motives behind it?
== List of adventures==
*Aura of Mishui: Fennis met his old co-worker Wren Hursh and got to introduce him to his new friends at the FBK. He learned that there's no such thing as upside-down printed books. He (somewhat) helped carry a rockman into a wheelbarrow (for heroic reasons). And managed to recognize and analyze the power behind a mysterious key with jet-black energy
*Come Fly To Space: After a successful adventure, Fennis gets (reluctantly) pulled into a heist in order to save the Niqamui's Helping Hands charity from being buried in debt. To create a distraction in The Leroux Theatre, he pretends to shoot and kill Tord Unfrid. While evading security, he absentmindedly ended up taking a pink boa from backstage. When encountering the mysterious sphere on the roof, he tries to persuade it to stop taking the theatre into space. When giving the diamond to The White Pawn, Fennis gets nervous in a dark room and sets off a flare.
*CATegorical Success: Fennis gets trapped in the body of Whisky, a local alley cat and tries to find a way to return to his body. Although he rather quickly adapts to his new body, he still makes a concerted effort. He manages to find the trail of his former body, and finds Summerset, one of his disappeared students. Who tells him that Hortense Vyze is the man behind the Stunten disappearances, and she had managed to get away.
