The Book of Knots - Jags

The passion behind this project (its purpose) has to do with proving the
foundational beliefs of the Caretakers: that the universe is finite and that
it can be fully and properly expressed in terms of literature.
Operations
She is often an element in someone else’s operation. A Caretaker may
send someone to see her and ask for information (this usually takes some
doing and may, in kind, result in doing favors for her).
Dramas
Actors are often sent to see her to check out books for others. This is
dangerous since the books might be returned late or in bad condition
(very dangerous). It is also not unusual for Actors who don’t understand
the nature of the Encyclopedia to become obsessed with finding some
obscure fact within it—this can take centuries and still come to nothing
since the filing system is so obscure. However, searching the deeper and
darker sections of the Liebrary has many dangers (not the least of which
is that you will break one of the rules).
The Typeist
Side: Caretaker
Overview
The Typeist is a sixteen-legged ‘spider’ the size of a Volkswagen with the
head of a young woman and each of her eight legs terminating in a white
gloved hand, she crosses all Wonderland observing and categorizing one
thing after another in infinite series of lists and tables. She is part of the
group that creates and maintains The Encyclopedia (where the Liebrarian
oversees the access and cataloguing of the work).
The Typeist believes that
everything has a fundamental
nature and that things can be
reduced to theirs with enough
study and insight. She is trying
to gain that and produces
volume after volume (her
bloated stinger contains an
near infinite supply of books
and quills).
she has catalogued many
things : Actors, Minions,
Servitors, Caretakers, and the
like. These things are easy. Her
stumbling point, of course, is
man. As that’s where she runs
into trouble, that’s where those
who encounter her may run
into trouble.

Description: A spider with 16 legs and a (female) human’s head. Each of her legs terminates
in a white-gloved hand and she is constantly moving about examining, categorizing, and
tabulating.
Shrink: Once per turn as a 5 REA Medium action, she can shrink a target down to Very
Small size (mouse-sized). She gets no to-hit negative against small targets.
Multiple Attack: With any 5 REA physical attack, she can make two more “for free” due to
her multitude of arms.
Clinging: The Typeist can cling to any surface and is effectively weightless if she wants to
be (but she must remain affixed, she doesn’t float).
