Faber Dominim

An older toon, with a distinct passion for houses, archetecture, and Genius Loci.

## Personality

A nice fellow, if a bit eccentric. He loves learning, magic, and houses, and anything that can combine the three!

## Appearance

Faber is a tall Frankenalie toon, with olive skin, long white hair which reaches his knees with a bald patch on top, and a short white beard. He dresses in robes in shades of brown and dusty pink.

## Backstory

Faber is a long time resident of the Salunian countryside. As a child, he, his younger sister Iona, and their parents, lived in a house on a hillside, outside of the town of Collumcille. When he was 7, he discovered that the home was a Genius Loci, who introduced herself as Kells. The two became fast friends. As Faber grew, and his abilities as a Wizard came to light, he started travelling to nearby UPA, to attend classes at The University of UPA. He missed Kells dearly when he was there, and lamented not being able to bring her with him in order to see the sights. He started looking into how he could make that happen, and so, the concept of the Locus Ambulata was born.

Using doll-makers techniques he learned from his mother, who made a living from doll making, he developed the first Ambulata. It allowed Kells to walk around within her floorplan, for about 15 minutes. It wasn't much, but it was a start! From there he worked on the length of time, and the ability to leave the perimetre, though this took him almost 10 years to achieve.

Disaster struck when he was 18. On a holiday visit back from university, there was a massive rainstorm, the likes of which the area was not prepared for. The hill that Kells stood on started to turn to slush, and she started to slip from her foundations. Using all of her strength, the Loci flung Faber, Iona, and their parents out of the house, before she was ripped apart by the landslide. When the rain finally stopped, and they were able to assess the damage, Faber was heartbroken to discover that nothing of Kells remained in the rubble.

The wellfare of Genius Loci, and in fact all buildings, even mundane ones, became an obsession for Faber. He flung himself into his studies, graduating with honours, and spending vast ammounts of time on his Ambulata work, trying to perfect them. He did return to the university to teach for a time, though the uptake on his class dedicated to Genius Loci was not vastly popular.

When his parents passed away, he and Iona inhereted a large sum of money each. She used hers to establish the Pangur Inn in town (which Faber designed for her). He used it to build a new home, in a similar area to where Kells once stood, though on the top of a much, MUCH, shallower hill.

He got a reputation in the nearby town of being a kooky old man, refered to by the locals as the "House Wizard", always making comments about their buildings and the upkeep thereof. He spent a lot of time improving his Ambulata, to the point where they could spend all day in it, and the doll would adjust to reflect the Locus inside.

He didn't come across any particular breakthroughs, until he was visited by someone from the university, who claimed to have something he could use.
