Cornelius Novak

The Sweet-toothed Nerd =• APPEARANCE •= Aside from the usual tall and pointed statures of all Mordesh, Cornelius tries very hard to keep his integrity of his kind from Grismara. Despite this he still has an electric Pink mohawk and Vitalus, though he bounds his tanks in medical wrappings under his clothing. The 'shy guy' doctor just refuses to give up who he is. His favorite color should be obvious given his clothing is almost all pink. Other quirks include wearing rose-tinted spectacles that he probably doesn't even need. Granted he only wears them when he sports his Vitalus mask on - it wouldn't stay up since he's missing his nose anyway. His build is average, having more bulk in his biceps and shoulder tanks, but his torso tapers down slender. His legs are atrociously thin, making him look like a morbid pink giraffe. Feel free to laugh at him.

=• RECENT HAPPENINGS •= A run in with the Dominion, specifically members of ICI, left both Cornelius and his (back then) fiance scarred for life - both physically and mentally. He now has a Dominion emblem branded into his left pectoral. His son, Simon has been discovered as well, still alive and ... 'well' for the most part. Last, but not least, Cornelius also finally got hitched to both Meiryn Rainheart (now Novak) and an old friend that loved him far more than he knew before - Nicolae Hale, now better known as Anslem Gabor (now Novak).

=• HISTORY •= Cornelius was always socially awkward, though dedicated to his studies at the academy. He looked up to the well known Victor Lazarin as many Grismaran's did. But he also had his own work, his own responsibilities. Despite what his one friend wanted to do - party, party, party - Cornelius went his own path. Becoming a doctor wasn't enough, soon he married his fiance Clarice and they had a son, Simon. He developed a nicknames from his avid eating habits of chocolates, sweets and hot coco - Cacao, Cocobeam or simply Coco. Life was indeed good.

Of course, then came that fateful day after everyone had imbibed the Everlife Elixir. Seemed like an ordinary day, until Cornelius overheard his son screaming in pain. 12-year-old boys get hurt, it happens, how bad could it have been, especially since he was now fully grown? Well, stooping over him was Simon's mother - eating the flesh of his arms off. That's new. So is panicking as your face is torn off, but the rest should be obvious. Cornelius survived.

Later down his, now dreary life, Cornelius stopped speaking. He couldn't without technological advancements that his kind - now Mordesh - made in their robotic necks. He refused such a thing and went about his medical career with the Exiles, in silence, only grunting and using his Datachron to project messages to people only when needed. It wasn't until he helped with the Arborian crisis that he took three orphaned Aurin into his care. First they were patients, then they were guests, but soon, they became like family. Meiryn was a quiet one like him, but always was attentive to what he had to communicate to her. They read together, she learned with him and they did alchemy together.

When she came of age, him and her became a pair and are now married along with Anslem. She's adopted the habit of calling him by his nicknames from his die-hard love of hot coco.
