Username: Agenposterity
Name: Professor Albert Schmidt
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Text Color: #0A1A10
Description: Albert is an incredibly normal human, not quite senescent but definitely not young, more white than brown in his hair. He gets up every morning at 8am sharp, brushes his teeth, shaves, takes a shower, and drives his old beater of a car to the nearby University. He walks up to the staff room and pours himself a cup of bad instant coffee, adds two sugars and a liberal splashing of milk, and stirs. He takes the coffee up to his cramped office. He is a professor of optics, and bits of equipment litter the not-large room. He marks papers and reviews research articles. Half an hour later, he goes to the bathroom. At noontime his coffee cup is empty. Carefully, he picks his way past the clutter and walks to the Harvard Manne Lecture Hall, which can seat up to 500 students. On a good day, it actually seats up to 34. The students call him 'Soporific Schmidt'. After his lecture, he hands out and hands back assignments and takes questions. There are never very many. He doesn't mind; he has tenure. At three, he pours himself another cup of coffee. He sits back down at his desk and continues the morning's work. At four, he pours himself another cup of coffee. At five, he goes to the bathroom again. At six, he picks up a folder of papers and walks back to his car. He drives home. Sitting at a worn plastic table, he reviews the optics papers. Whenever anyone asks him about what he does in the afternoons, he says 'light reading' and thinks himself incredibly hilarious. He is not. At eight, he prepares a small dinner for himself. At nine, he watches television. By ten, he is getting ready for bed, brushing his teeth, having another shower. By eleven he is asleep.
Items/Abilities: Professor Schmidt has some rudimentary knowledge as to how to live life on a daily basis. He also has a comprehensive knowledge on optics and radiation, but he finds that the latter is never really in demand, whereas the former always is.
Biography. Professor Schmidt is not interesting or important enough to have had a biography written about him.
