Arconus Arkright's picture
Arconus Arkright

Call me "Arkright." No "Mr." just "Arkright" will do.

A humble student, a teetotaler (mostly), an inveterate dilettante, a fan of physical culture, a shameless "Wilde Childe" and an unrepentant libertine. Not bad at math.

Origins

Autumn Verlaine's picture
Autumn Verlaine

I assist a trader in the buying and selling of custom scientific equipment and am here in New Babbage on business.
They say I almost killed Sky Netizen. I have a strange feeling they might be right.
