McCartney College
The Yale to Lennon's Harvard, McCartney College has long been competing with its rival for the status of "#1 College in The City," a title which it has yet to receive. Although McCartney is often #2, enrollment reached an all-time low in 2066 and the administration feared that the school would have to be shut down. These fears turned out to be ill-founded when the school bounced right back the next year.
McCartney's mascot is the Eagle, and the school's trademark wings insignia is well-recognized around the city and, indeed, around the world. They are also well-known for having, arguably, the best meal plan of any of the City's higher education facilities. The kitchen staff at McCartney are famously accommodating of students' dietary needs and include a number of options for vegetarian students in their menu.

For those quiet doubters of this history provided in schools and other indoctrination facilities, you're going to have to know a guy who knows a guy to get a banned book containing the true version of the accounts told — or be pretty darn resourceful when it comes to hacking away at a near century's old file on the net. This isn't to say it's impossible to get at what really went on all those decades ago; but the government hasn't made it easy, and with such upstanding models of Pre-Shusai History represented by the Museum, why would most doubt, anyhow?
Keeps his own collection of banned things (mainly books, unlike Reade and Beatrice, who specialise in Everything), cautiously lends it out to people when required and. Wants to spread the ~truth~ and get people informed, passing on the Proper History. This will probably lead to him getting into some serious shit. :/
**jyuulii:** Because I immediately saw this character opposite Rick. The quiet intellectual to Rick's guns blazing. The one who gets leads on artefacts and passes on the information, and helps send him on assignments while never stepping foot into danger himself. UNTIL PLOT HAPPENS, OHOHO.
jyuulii: This guy is extremely polite and awkward around women (a throwback to my Caspar Lovegood intellectual archetype), much safer burying himself in books and research papers than trying to navigate the morasses of complicated social interaction.
jyuulii: But is totally capable of becoming stern and hardass when it comes to his job.
jyuulii: And then I saw a small truck in Scotland labelled… the Royal Scottish something something artefact something which MADE ALL THE IDEAS JUST COME MORE.
jyuulii: and augh, he's travelled a lot around the world a lot so he doesn't really consider himself a citizen of any particular country, and he's highly educated in sociology and anthropology and psychology (possibly a novelist? possibly has a text called "Life After The Bomb" under his belt, but unpublished?), is a reluctant Shusai supporter, and I'd need to talk to Rian to see if he fits with Reade, but yes. There he is.
His family emphasised medicine and research, but in the wake of global disaster, he found the study of people far more intriguing. He turned to sociology, anthropology, psychology, and examining the ways the populace reacted afterwards — he classified people into various categories. There are … (Idlewild)
Psych concepts. Approaches life like a textbook.
jyuulii: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Commission_on_the_Ancient_and_Historical_Monuments_of_Scotland

jyuulii: Iiiiii think he maintains a strict pseudonym to help contribute to those types of societies. >_>
It might have looked like one of the organisations to be first off the map when the world started shaking on its foundations, but on the contrary, it became even more important. Seventy-five years of change left behind die-hard historians who would fight for anything to preserve the truth…
Age thirty. Glasses, humble, painfully polite, withdrawn. Hasn't been on a date in a while, can't remember how it's done. Buries self in books and intellectual, business-like conversation. Goes to conferences, travels a lot — doesn't consider himself any particular nationality, but is a ~citizen of the world~. Appraises antiques. Librarian cover? Reade's contacts, gets him info for various daring missions, but never becomes part of the dange rhimself (DUN DUN).
Seems quiet and self-effacing, but is capable of being cruelly professional — berates and argues with the sharpest finesse if it comes to it
Calls women "ma'am" and "miss". Holds doors open for them. Some 50s mentality, alright?
Reade might store any and all kinds of artefacts, but Darwin specialises in books. History. The lost information of our past, if you will. Serves as human library for the revolution? People can come and borrow books from him? Silent faceless operation, very few know that Dr Bhatnagar is actually the one behind it. Show up at a particular location, stick a letter through a mail-slot detailing the sort of thing you want to read, come back 48 hours later and there'll be a book waiting for you. No human interaction, no face-to-face contact with Darwin, which keeps him safe.
Though future possibility for a turncoat to turn him in. O hai, in shit with Shusai. :(
