Animals: Kojak, an Auburn colored
Irish
Setter that Glen came accross in his town that survived the
superflu-very
friendly, dog.
Distinguishing characteristics: Wears glasses, has arthritis. Thin,
but
not extremely skinny. Wears corderoys often, old sweaters, sometimes a
hat. An intellectual who rambles on about society and its troubles and
oftentimes comes up with the worst that can happen. He's intelligent,
takes things as they come.
Personality: Your somewhat eccentric/absent minded academic type.
Likes
to ramble on about society. Alignment: Good. Kind to others,
combination
pessimist/realist in philosophy, but from an academic standpoint-when
hes
faced with the real thing, things that he has predicted will happen, he
can become very emotional about whats at hand. Enjoys living despite
his
pessimism. Can be very light-hearted and humorous, often on the
cynical
side. Could care less what others think of him. Accepted the superflu,
admits to be prejudiced against the world, and feels the superflu
pretty
much gave the world a much needed super-enema. His humor to this? He
could
retire and paint full-time-and hes a horrible painter, but hey,
probably
the best in the world right now!
Is perfectly fine being alone with
his
dog Kojak, but loves having a good ear to listen to his ponderings of
the
ills of society and what we had better do if we don't to want to make
the
same mistakes. Also looks into the real and practical issues related to
what the superflu has done, usually from a pessimistic viewpoint of
course. Hates to see injustice in the world and this can make him
angry
at times, which is where his pessimism often comes from and centers
around.
Any special skils?: Intelligence, broad and in depth knowledge of
sociology, both current and past.
History: Before the plague, was a sociology professor in a small town
called Woodsville at Woodsville Community College in New Hampshire. Was
married, wife has been dead for 10 years, no children. He feels that
most
of his colleagues had not cared for him and the feeling was mutual.
