Scrimshaw

Scrimshaw
Bookkeeper
He's a bundle of nervousness and unneeded knowledge that goes by Scrim to friends and close acquaintances. He runs the only library in Gutter Town, which isn't much of a library. It costs money to rent out books, and the only one who really uses is the University and the Royalty. He's not much of a flier; the most exercise he's ever doing is reaching the higher book shelves. He's read almost every book in the library, and remembers them word by word, cover to cover. His only good friends are Rhu, who is the library guard, and Sugi, the courier. They only became friends because of their occupations. He wasn't born on the island, either. His parents sent him off as part of an apprenticeship as a scribe. He never learned how to write, though, so he just became the local bookkeeper. However, when one of the older books starts falling apart, or a book is damaged beyond repair, he calls in the dragon who should've been his mentor, Tord, to rewrite it from Scrim's memory.
