Baron Ruben Tiberius

And dotted Ink

• Squiggles and shapes on a page

  [Dear lord help you all - prepare for A WALL of text written from the perspective of an in-character letter.
  
  IF YOU DO NOT CARE TO READ ALL OF THE WRITING - WHICH I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND - THERE'S A TL;DR AT THE BOTTOM WITH STATS ON IT!!!!]
  
  
  
  The whomever it may concern;
  
  
  Recently through the postmaster I have recieved request to make public to the Tether and its patrons certain details of my personal anatomy and dimensions; to this request I am somewhat surprised, but will express freely the curiosities that are my body as viewed by the masses.
  
  It is first to be understood that I am in my body and nature, a Spider. This may be unsettling to some, or outright terrifying to others; I accept this as a regrettable fact.
  
  My full name and titlement are as follows. I am Baron Ruben Edward George Tiberius, of Portsmouth, England. I was born a common boy, as most boys are born, and have acquired my titles, estates, and wealth through the means of my trade; Silk.
  
  I have grown thusfar to the healthsome but youthful age of 26, and hope to enjoy a great many more years yet.
  
  To measure my Height is a somewhat more convoluted issue- to the top of my abdomen is a respectable six feet. To the top of my shoulder, a somewhat more grand 9 feet and four of the kings inches. From the ground to the top of my black-crowned head is a full and respectable ten feet and three. However - I have recently come upon the magics required and a mage competent enough to teach them to me, that I may take upon myself a Human body, or something more akin to it at some minor exertion from myself. The full height of this new and exciting body is a less remarkable five feet and seven inches. Somewhat less than grand, I must sadly say.
  
  My weight may surprise some, and indeed it surprises me. For one of such grand size and proportion, I am frightfully light. I weigh the most meager 1300 pounds. Though I'd love to say it were a mere 800, and suck in my waist!
  It amuses me too, to find that some have asked for my gender; is it not apparent enough that I am quite clearly Masculine? Oh but I tease! I am a Male, as would be clear by my title and holdings, but facts can be somewhat... Decieving. That's all the detail I shall give on that.
  
  The next order of information would be to disclose my occupation. I am a full-time rich Baron, and by night a fanciful investigator, such the likes as never before seen!
  But no. All humor aside, I am simply a rich man whom employs -others- to work for him. Call me a Businessman, if you must, though they are such drab things, waggling their many chins.
  
  Properties in my domain? Oh there are so very many! As of the writing of this letter, I own a modest thirteen estates, and a somewhat more grand 22 homes in various towns and cities; the homes are a good deal less grand - One to four bedroom orders, rented often in my absence, but altogether pleasant and homely - enough so that I could comfortably reside in many of the civilized worlds great cities. The estates are somewhat more grand in the order of land they control; a mighty respectable 80 hectares. The grandest a full 300 hectares, with another plot of 120 hectares adjacent to that. I will admit that the full 300 hectares are not all for leisure; upon that are a number of silk farms, and indeed more silk-farms aside the one mentioned on my personal estate. I own a full seven silk-farms, each with a highly reputable output in both quality and quantity. It has been a subject of debate among some that I have contributed the fruit of my own spinnerets, but grant me to assure you I have not. It would be an untoward and uncomforting thing to do to such a product.
  
  My Origins, as priorly stated in this letter I have sent, are somewhat more humble, as said, Portsmouth, England. I do not intend to declare much more than this - it is a personal and private affair.
  
  My residence as and when now, is upon the island of Guildereim - a place that I as yet own no land, but intend to purchase some as soon as an offer can be appropriately negotiated. I would be keen to live upon that most colorful and varied island.
  
  Referring to the sheet of questions I have recieved, I'm intrigued to see that a query has been made about my accessories. Among them I suppose would be the items that I carry on my person by day as my effects. They include my clothing which obviously changes often as should any fashionable mans, my hats, my gloves though normally the same worked and cared-for leather. A black order, creaking and shining most pleasantly, and with a delightful smell of leather combined with sandalwood cologne. Often I carry my cologne also, a fan, a small knife with which to cut and sharpen things - namely pencils, or quills. A pocket writing kit - a most excitingly convenient affair containing a sealed inkpot of small size, a foutnain-nibbed pen, and all the necessary fixings. I also often have a servant with whom I travel carry my other luxuries including a full case of items with which to buff the chitins of my legs and body, as to retain an attractive shine and gleam. I find it most important to look good for the delight or terror of those about me.
  
  An interesting matter was raised too upon this sheet beside my desk about my diet; a strange thing to inquire about indeed! I enjoy a varied and pleasing diet, though I must regrettably admit it is somewhat biased. As I imagine it will become the subject of sinister rumor and untoward opinions, I clench my teeth as I write.
  
  A vast deal of meat is to be my daily fare, atleast to the sum of a full and remarkable seventy pounds. My physician has studied my lesser cousins; the common spider, and compared to me their needs, and it is apparent that my body, due to its many functions and metabolisms, requires an ungodly ammount of protein to function comfortably day by day, and I must consume enough - though it is not to worry. My appetite is positively ravenous, and I have no difficulty meeting my own needs.
  
  Next on the sheet would be allergies, of which I have none.
  
  Oh! And not to forget, hair and fur colors were prior mentioned - I must have let my eye slip over them unscrutinously. I have raven-black hair, washed clean twice a day, and worked to a glisten with oils and scents. As I have no fur of which to speak, I shall simply comment upon my complexion.
  
  My skin has been the subject of some heated disagreement with myself, as it is a most rebelious affair - lay out in the sun as I wish, I do not tan, or darken into a bronzed form of attractive flesh like leather, or Stallions. Rather I've a pale and somewhat snowy complexion, laced VERY slightly in places with the most modest of veins and dark spirals. It is in this that I am most assuredly of some kind of Elvish descent, with their blood flowing strong in my veins. No question.
