==Description==
===Appearance===
The Ink appears in some interpretations as a man with permanently ink-stained arms and legs. He has no mouth, but his eyes are an ever shifting pool of Aspect Pigmentation, that shifts constantly. He has a seemingly infinite number of arms, and a seemingly infinite number of quills and papers in the folds of his cloak with which he is constantly writing. He has been seen with no fewer than a half dozen arms and no more than a hundred thousand.

==History==
===Before He Knewthe Hour===Excerpt from ''"It is said the Scient was one The Tragicall Hiftorie of many who tended a great library. In his lifetimeOne Scholar & One Soldier'', it didn't burnAct II, but simply fell to ruin and neglectScene 5. He stayed in the rubble, writing until his dreams led him to become LongAuthor Unknown."''

-'The Pen'SCHOLAR: Is it the change of the tides or the age? This is not my study, IndelibleI know not why. I know you leave this post too soon. ''<br>''SOLDIER: You may leave ‘long side me. You would be cared for. ''<br>''SCHOLAR: But I’ve a post of mine own to tend to. ''<br>''SOLDIER: So too long will our parting be! How can I slay the clouds a world away from you?''<br>''SCHOLAR: You tempt me to desertion, Dubedat Lockebut Know not that my punishment would be as Severe.''
<br>
<br>One day, it was said, a scholar decided to put pigment to parchment. Even as their dreams grew strange with his fervor, and a light started to shine from a fiercer place, that scholar did not stop writing. Everything they saw, everything they thought, all streamed into one furious line of ink, charcoal, chalk, and even blood if it was required. He wrote his way into becoming Long with Even as a humble mortal, a fledgling Know, the young scholar teetered upon the fervor precipice of immortality quickly. Caught between a finite Ever After and rising to a higher place, he could not decide upon which ending he wanted, so an ending was chosen on his writingsbehalf. <br><br>But this is only hearsay, fabulism, and rumor.<br> ===NameLong-domHood===<br>There was a Long that, to the frustration of his peers, was rather difficult to qualify, at least in term of the nature of his immortality. He was mute as the Winter, yet constantly followed by the sound of his never ending, fervent writing as endemic of the Heart (And yet, a truly lamentable dancer, according to some accounts). He was flighty and his interest was naturally of the Moth, yet his writing could at times cut with a merciless unkindness, and his publications were in a constant state of ever-changing limbo as he chased his insatiable desire. Some doubt even that publications under his many pseudonyms were even the same author, contemporary Know of the Co-writer's Covenant arguing constantly over most infinitesimal similarities and differences in the the styling, cadence, language.<br><br>The one thing that cannot be denied is the author's longevity and proliferance of their writing. Between the many texts, letters, novels, essays, (and any other written form under the sun), It is easy to say this particular long has easily lived for around two thousand years. <br>It is said as well that the Long could not decide what he wanted, how he wanted to spend his immortality. <br>But<br>The world has a tendency to force decision, in time. ===AscentionAscension===FNORD

* '''The Editorius''' - {{Aspect|Moth}} {{Aspect|Edge}} - Upon wings of parchment, the Editorius rises with the thinest of blades to cut down the darlings of the writer. They are viscious. They are unforgiving. They are one of the judges that which all those who wish to enter the Ink's service must appease before they are graced.
<br>
* '''Disembodied Voice of Pedantic But Technically True Corrections''' - {{Aspect|Winter}} {{Aspect|MothHeart}} What? How did this get here? Why won't they shut up? Why won't they '''leave me alone!'''
====Long====
* '''Dubedat Locke''' - {{Aspect|MothSecret Histories}} {{Aspect|Knock}} - Once a distractable and eccentric playwright of ambition, his writings tell of far off places and fantastical journeys, horrid beasts and a terrifying Wood. Be careful about his publications, lest you fall in. Newly Long, he is eager to speak of his many imagined paths with anyone who would listen.
* '''"Jos."''' - {{Aspect|Heart}} {{Aspect|Grail}} - Somewhere in the marked halls of the Scriptorium is a woman who built and destroyed lives with her correspondences. Her poetry and prose wets the appetites of even the strongest mortals, and many are lost in her eternal letters of longing. If you catch her attention correctly, she may send you such a letter.
* '''The Pen, Indelible'''

** Start Text: He speaks of a aspiring god king who built folded a grand structure of paper, the servants bipedal pets he uplifted kept to upkeep maintain it, and how to glean truths from a trove of fictions.
** End Text: ''"The Author's servants know the Pen's mind. It is said you need a bright a big enough disarray and a big enough opening to tempt them out of their homes."''
** Gives: The Rite of the Secretarian's Sorting, {{Aspect|Lantern}} '''Lore 6'''
