Description
Oswyn is of average height and quite lean and lanky of build. His brown hair is worn parted to the side, tousled waves threatening to tumble over his dark eyes at times. Thick brows contribute to a pensive demeanour. On the rare occasion he smiles, it's broad, boyish, and displays his teeth. He maintains a mostly trim beard. Otherwise, Oswyn presents as rather studious. His clothes are generally tidy and well-cared for. His complexion hints toward a lot of time spent indoors. When he looks off into the distance, he always squints.
Personality
Shy for his entire childhood and the first part of adulthood, Oswyn has since become less awkward. Quiet and unassuming, he's good at at blending into the background. As an instructor he is much more confident.
Humble and genuine, Oswyn has always been very earnest. He tries to treat everyone with the same compassionate attentiveness. A gentle and polite man, Oswyn does have a wry sense of humour and a talent for sarcasm.
While he may be quiet, he gives the impression of someone always thinking.
Background
Hailing from the Lowers of Arx, Oswyn had a humble upbringing. His family runs an archery shop, Lowers Archery. Oswyn has one older sister, who has married and had a son. Both siblings learned the family trade; Muriel took to it much better than Oswyn. While capable of very basic work as a bowyer and fletcher, it was clear his talents lay elsewhere.
A quiet, clever, thoughtful child, Oswyn was always a voracious reader. A miserable shot, his eyesight was fine for objects up close, like books. He was always happiest surrounded by books and surprised no one when he became a scholar himself. Oswyn further devoted himself to Vellichor as a Disciple.
Tending to book collections, learning, and teaching filled his days. The more he learned, the more he discovered he didn't know. How much needed preservation or rediscovery. His searches led him to join the Society of Explorers. Oswyn's typical role on expeditions was either as a cartographer or a healer. He was a common sight documenting and drawing various plants and animals. Plants don't move, which is very helpful to someone with poor distance vision.
Oswyn maintained a shop by the Vellichorian Academy, Books and Scribing Supplies. His primary goal was to provide people of every station with the tools of learning. Affordable prices for commoners did not make much profit, but he was fine with that.
For a few years, he struggled with whether to take Godsworn vows or not. The decision came down to whether he wanted a family of his own. He spent time in careful contemplation in the various shrines of the Thirteen. Speaking with other Godsworn helped him come to the conclusion that he was happy as an uncle. That was enough for him. And because his shop didn't make any real money, he was allowed to keep it after taking his vows... for a time.
In spring 1016, Oswyn took the position of Archscholar. That meant giving up the shop to take on the responsibility of guiding the Scholars. He is very serious about his responsibilities to the collection. He seeks to protect the scholars under his care.
