Overview
Julian Lapin is a Professor of Classicial Civilisations at the University of Reality-on-the-Norm, a rather bizarre town in which strange and curious things happen on a regular basis. Originally a bitter cynic who had his appetite for adventure and wonderment of the world dulled by his constant workload and the realisation that life is on the whole a thankless and short struggle, Julian recently rediscovered his love for adventure and discovery on that fateful day he discovered his great-grandfather's legacy and (due to a series of odd events) found himself standing in the middle of the New Mexican desert with the lost underground city of D'ni before him.
Since then, life has taken a decidedly interesting turn for Julian and his closest friend from the university, Edward Kenji. Strange things of a random and fantastic nature now seem to occur very frequently, and all seem to somehow involve an item from another realm appearing in Reality...
Appearence
Julian stand about 5'8 tall, with a gaunt and angular face. He has hazel brown hair matched by his eyes, which look out through a pair of ivory half-moon spectacles. He has recently tried growing a goatee, but is finding this more difficult than anticipated.
In terms of fashion, Julian looks like he has just stepped straight from the nineteenth century. Clad in a pressed white shirt, waistcoat, black trousers and full length Cromby jacket, he couldn't look more like an academic unless he was wearing a mortar board.
Quirks
Julian's hobbies are far and expanding, but most of his attention revolves around science-fiction and anime, bonsai, classical music and wine tasting. While he occasionally struggle to fit into the majority of social groups, he has an innate ability to establish himself in the presence of fellow academics.
[ModNote: Julian first appears in Leaving Reality Behind.]
