Augustus Cassius Nightingale

"Oh please, I'm no alchemist."
 [WARNING: THIS PAGE CONTAINS POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING MATERIAL. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.]
== Physical Appearance ==
Augustus is a rather tall, slightly muscular young man with red hair and grey eyes that are described as 'like a stormy sky'. He has silver, round rimmed glasses as well as freckles. His hair is mostly slicked back, save for one side that dangles over his face. He generally wears formal clothing, as dusty as it usually is. His teeth are crocodile-like, sharp and jagged.
== Tragic Backstory ==
Taking an interest in space at a young age, young Augustus had an "active imagination" that landed him in a madhouse for a few years, because of hallucinations and delusions. His mother suffered from similar issues before she had died when he was young. August's father disowned him, and he was left holing up with one of his childhood friends for a time, studying mathematics and astronomy, eventually even taking an interest in parallel universes. Eventually, he managed to make his way to the Society and become a lodger.
== Current Living State & Personality ==
As a lodger, his life is much better suited to him and much less like a prison. That said, he is very private about his past, and almost never shares it with anyone. He is somewhat snappy when tired and/or hungry. Augustus despises being called an alchemist, but has an increased respect for other mathematicians. He can even be kind to newcomers, but has a generally neutral outlook on everyone. Secretly, he distrusts people and feels they may harm him at any time.
