Book of Knots - The Caretakers
60
The Typeist is considered one of the leading sources of data and
analysis on strains of Infection. This information was used to create
Llamed and is considered dangerous by the Caretakers: they do
not want hyper-infectious strains created since a mass Infection of
mankind could destroy Wonderland. She is loyal to the cause of
keeping this information protected but is often a bit absent-minded
about it: Deconstructionists have gotten information out of her on this
count.
Description and Personality
The Typeist comes off as a little frantic, a little distracted, and a little
incoherent. She is usually writing with two or three hands at once and
holding magnifying glasses, calipers, scales, and other instruments to
measure whatever it is she has discovered.
When she finds a person though, she wants to categorize them. Usually
she has some new theory (“There are 10 types of people: those who
understand binary notation and those who do not—which are you?”
and then try to make some generalizations about them and see if they
measure up to her theories.
During conversation with her, one might find a full accounting of their
dimensions, favorite ice creams, and least preferable ways to die all
taken and recorded.
There are two ways to make her angry: the first is to not cooperate
fully—in this case one might be webbed up for examination (and
possibly encouraged with the stinger, which injects a terribly painful
Truth Serum). She might also get frustrated with one’s stubborn ability
to not fit into her latest theory (“You’re a Type Five—you’re supposed to
like oranges!).
In this case, one can find themselves stuck in a usually unpleasant but
not generally deadly predicament of some sort (she can, and will, warp
reality around them in a fit of pique).
Also: she can change size and perspective at will: a person might be
shrunk and placed in the many “ammunition belts” of small bottles that
crisscross her person for future study. They might wind up in the clutches
of the Liebrarian or the Mad Scientist or somewhere else altogether.
Disposition Towards Man
She would like to see the “Equation Simplified.” Oh, she knows it’s a bit
lazy of her—a bit selfish—but she really thinks there’s no reason other
than abject inconsiderate stubbornness for humans to be so discordant.
Quietly, she wishes someone else would just “take care of the whole
mess” but in person she’s usually just vaguely annoyed by them.
