WriterGreg
Headmaster Gregory Lemon, QC (a.k.a. WriterGreg)
WriterGreg was the Headmaster of the School of Worldcraft and Wordmancy and a broadcaster for the GOT News Network. A former mercenary literomancer he was perhaps best known for auctioning his words to the highest bidder, and for being the almost offensively cheerful face of the United States branch of the GoT News Network.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
WriterGreg was a large man with an imposing aura. It took many years and raising his own children to help his kind nature to show through his resting grumpy face. He was in the process of reclaiming the health of his youth when the MancerMumps, and then Zombification, struck him down.
Special abilities
Greg had druidic magic through his literomancy. He was able to shift into grey wolf, bald eagle, and bear forms. His bear form, which was probably his mostly commonly used, was that of an inland grizzly bear on the large side of the species, as Greg was in his human form. His bald eagle and wolf forms were most often used for scouting.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
WriterGreg fell in love with stories when he discovered a book of Greek myths in his school library. He fell in love with reading when he read the Harry Potter and Little House series to his five children—twice—each. He fell in love with writing when he wrote fiction, an escape from the daily emails and technical documents. He discovered a wild talent as a Literomancer not long before the First Word War, and made his way to the Game of Tomes competition to try his hand at his newly-discovered craft, and seek his fortune.
As the lead anchor for what was then the ASC News Network, WriterGreg found himself uniquely positioned to keep the world apprised of the situation, especially as the first Tome Zombies began making their appearance at the literomantic tournament that would eventually become the First Word War.
During the War, WriterGreg, being a wild talent literomancer, was unable to flee to any of the Great Houses, not being sure of what sort of reception he would get. Instead, he forged his own path. He took refuge in an abandoned art deco high school. Its solid construction made it a powerful stronghold. He and the ASC News Network were even able to continue their broadcasts uninterrupted until later in the War.
Ever the entrepreneur, WriterGreg collected supplies that were delivered to the different houses, for a price. His supply boxes full of lemons and reputation as a mercenary for hire allowed him to support all the houses willing to pay his price. The members of the houses were willing to pay as they knew WriterGreg to be a patron of Kids Need To Read.
During The Second Word War, WriterGreg’s efforts grew into The Lemon Company where he continued to provide supplies and supported the valiant soldiers of the various great houses. Others joined “The Lemon Company” and donated their services to whomever could pay the price. He also continued to anchor for what had now become the GOT News Network from the safety of his refuge, except when venturing out where his mercenary's work bade him. He was mildly injured in the The Battle of Tiki Island, the battle that devastated House Tiki and claimed two of the Hammerheads for the Undead Horde, but escaped relatively unharmed.
After the two wars, WriterGreg took the profits from The Lemon Company and refurbished the abandoned high school to establish theSchool of Worldcraft and Wordmancy. At this school, WriterGreg hoped to focus his efforts in raising the next generation of Tome Knights in Literomancy.
The school quickly gained popularity, and an excellent reputation. Numerous Protectorates began to invite Headmaster Greg to establish a campus with them, and working closely with Erin Righ, who joined the faculty following Word War 2, they established a well-respected and widely accredited literomantic academy.
Famously, WriterGreg quit the GOT News Network in the middle of a live broadcast due to a smear campaign the network was running against other famous literomancers, including Queen Sable Aradia and Lord Galakrond. He and Erin Righ immediately decided to found their own internet streaming broadcast, and they combined efforts with other disgruntled former employees of the GOT Network. The GoFundMe campaign they ran to fund it was so overwhelmingly popular that they established an entirely independent internet news network, and still had money left over to fund the school, which is what their supporters asked them to do.
WriterGreg caught MancerMumps just before the start of The Third Word War, taking him out of the fighting. However, he came out of his sickbed to fight at the Battle of Mount Mitchell, and tragically was turned and then died of his wounds and complications of the illness when the limited Resurrection effect took place.
To date, WriterGreg is the one and only recipient of The Queen's Crescent, which was awarded posthumously.

Personality Characteristics
Representation & Legacy
Erin Righ, along with several students of WriterGreg's, carried on Greg's legacy. Changing the name to the World Literomantic Academy because it didn't feel the same without their founder, they continued his work, and the first class of SWW/WLA trained literomancers graduated in time to take part in the fighting in The Fourth Word War. They continue to try to carry on the good works that WriterGreg inspired.
WLA News ran a tribute episode to WriterGreg that, to date, has 100 million views, and Queen Sable and Erin Righ named a major rail bridge on the new high-speed HYLEX "Cottontail" line the WriterGreg Commemorative Bridge. This is also a major walking bridge, and tourist attraction, that connects the grounds of The Warren to the grounds of the Meles Embassy, and the grounds of the Lapin Parliament, because, as Queen Sable said, "he was always building bridges in his life."
