Professor Criamon out of bounds

Professor Dallon Criamon
Season & Seniority, : Summer: A wizard in the prime of my power
Magical strengths : Terran, Vim, Mentem
Dallon exhibited tendencies at a young age that went against his families magical inclinations. He is unsure if he was allowed to pursue these simply due to his parents giving up on his absolute lack of interest in alchemy or due to other factors. However he was thrilled when he was sent to apprentice under the tutelage of a wizard from the Verditius family. He was allowed to follow his passion for investigation and what some viewed as "mere mundane aspects of study" Allowed to attend a renown college, so long as he also kept up on his magical studies, he graduated and became a professor for a several years before quitting the college campus to drive into deeper arcane studies.

Though no longer directly involved in the mortal world in a public manner he maintains relations and follows up and any and all modern advances. Dallon seeks to heighten his understanding of the world through magic in parallel to the sciences of the natural world.

House

Professor Criamon's home is a mix of old and new. Though the main entrance nearby rooms stick to more classic luxuries befitting a man of his station there are many aspects of his holdings that have been updated or used to test various ideas he has had over the years. Thankfully the main house is left to be managed by his steward (Butler / Housekeeper) with the help of a cook and several animated statues that act as staff. The other buildings fall under the preview of his apprentice and a rather clever clock smith with a flair for engineering that was employed to help with some of the more practical and mundane experiments. A youth taken on as his apprentice spends much of their time at the residence as well though they are occasionally sent off to study at prestigious schools to help round out their education. The apprentice often receives as much teaching from the professors familiar as from the man himself.

Lands

His home is set well off any major thoroughfares but he has arranged for mail to and from the region to ensure he can maintain contact with those he finds interesting. He has filled much of his home and the land around it with many models both of his own design and to replicate things developed by others. He went so far as to divert a stream to power his water wheel which is connected to the base of his windmill, both of which drive many of his clockward and mechanical experiments.

Usually Dallon is content to stay inside his home, making preparations and conduct his experiments or read and respond to correspondence with other "leading minds", both mundane and wizardly. However he often enjoys wandering the countryside asking any he finds for their views and perspective on things. He is quite fond of real world applications and can be found "helping" the local community with his incessant tinkering. Fortunately he contents himself to simple experiments and trials that usually tie into his fascination with clockwork, saving the local livestock from any attempts at being improved upon.

D'Ortagio steps induce the room, his hands carrying a sizeable quantity of mail, dominated by a badly wrapped parcel with a number of instructions plastered over each other, as if it has been forwarded multiple times.

He looks pointedly at Miss Garlandhand but says nothing. Such a response would be undistinguished for a man of his bearing.

Professor Dallon Criamon sees no need to create replicas as each creation should fulfill a need as well as further his understanding and skills. This he has over time accumulated a strange menagerie of magical constructs. His early creations were of simple creatures, a snake, a rat, a dog, a cat, and a couple birds. But as he was unable to give them flight without a preponderance of magic he ceased that branch of research. His familiar is one of these flying automatons. There is also a horse and large ox as well as 3 humanoids.

The child size animated statue was more an experiment in construct behavior and has no special enchantments or abilities save higher recall, task management, and a touch of stolen fey magic to give it a spark of creativity. The largest golem has enhanced strength and durability making it the perfect tool/assistant for larger heavy projects but it's lack of care when not under direct orders tends to keep it out of the manor. The mid sized automaton has the most grace awareness, containing a whisp of personality that Dallon insists is a quirk, byproduct of various enchantments and quickly changes the topic after saying it is just another dead end.
