he/him - StraightStory-FocusedRomance/Lewd WITH CHEMESTRY

A man born in a world of no magic and fantasy. With assistance and a deal he was granted a space and magic to help embrace his dream. To become a librarian and archivist.He travels to various worlds and universes to learn and write new tales and documents to add into his ever expanding archive.

Magic

Dagenham, when he was gifted maguic by The Reader, dubbed it Lexomancy. The magical ability to bring words to life.He calls it this because a Lexical Unit is a basic element of language that carries meaning.

Instead of directly drawing the magic out of the books like most mages, Dagenham instead injects his own mana into the words of a book, directly bringing them to being. Should he read the word 'Fire,' then a flame would be cast. The reach of this is unknown but the stronger the word, the more he needs to inject which could lead to lacking mana quickly.He carries around a small notebook which he writes various words with meanings inside, so he can get the exact word he needs at any given moment. Of course he doesn't need the book, but a medium always helps focus the magic.The exact reach of his power is currently unknown due to lacking the mana. But know this...Dagenham can do anything he wants if given the mana and time.

The Archives
After his deal with one named "The Reader," Dagenham has had access to a space, The Crowley Archives he calls it, where this place stands outside of multiversal contact and can only be visited when he goes to a world.

In each world he visits, his archives assimilates itself into the world seamlessly, taking a building and putting its presence there for anyone to visit, and always with the proper documents to allow it to exist without sparking up suspicion.The archives are where Dagenham stores all of the stories and history of the races, people, places and other things about a given universe in one place. Each having its own book. When people read the books he has in the Archives, they truly feel as though they were 'in the story' themselves.And Dagenham is all to happy letting them borrow more books to read more of that world's history and people. As that is what he lives for, to show people what is out there. As infinite possibilites can always bring new ideas to light.

Lore

Magic. A word that only ever appears in fiction and not into reality itself. Dagenham, ever since a young age, has pursued these worlds in the forms of books, and later in life movies, tv shows and games.But in his twenties, he was greeted by something. Something he called "The Reader," who wanted someone to help him. To help him build a collection of knowledge - and should they want to help, he will grant them magic and the ability to traverse multiple worlds. And despite fiction telling him these deals aren't ever a good idea, his disassociation with his life and how meaningless it all felt bore into him the idea that this would probably be worth it in the end.

He was brought into a space, a library with many empty shelves with but a handful of books. In this space, he eventually began calling this the Crowley Archives, as The Reader would permit him to use this space howver he wished, as long as anything he writes is stored and confirmed in the computer by the reception desk.He was also granted magic, which Dagenham had called Lexomancy, bringing forth words read or thought of into life.With training into his new Lexomancy, he trained in how to use the Archives to visit other worlds, as guided by The Reader.And from then on, while taking upwards of ten years it took him to learn how to do all of this, he would begin his journey throughout many universes to discover and read about any and all he comes across.

Relationships

Dagenham in his life has experienced little in terms of relationships and romance.He has no such idea how to navigate a relationship or even how to get into one. Friendships are fine.- And for the record, anything romantic or intimate is done with chemistry.

The man is as dense as a neutron star. And as such he is blissfilly ignorant to any such attempts to woo him as he does and truly believe he isnt worth the time or effort. And that is if he is aware, which in most cases he will not be aware of any romantic feelings granted onto him.
