Mental characteristics

Personal history

Christopher was predominantly raised by his mother as xyrs father was a navigator for deep sea fishing vessels (chiefly The Swan). While on shore leave, Xyrs father maintained a loving relationship with Christopher by weaving great tales of a wild ocean. This relationship fuelled xyrs imagination for exploration and adventure.
In xyrs youth, xe stared up at the stars and built a model of the town from garbage gathered from along the docks in Baford. Once grown, xe progressively took jobs on small fishing vessels until xe successfully landed a navigator apprenticeship.
The navigator did a piss poor job, relying on luck as much as his inaccurate maps and oft damaged tools. Regardless, Christopher thrived. This path was xyrs dream! Xe saved and saved until xe could afford xyrs own tools and promptly "jumped ship" (editor's note *facepalm*). Ship after ship xe found that oceanic maps were of abysmal quality.
Eventually Christopher tried xyrs hand at entrepreneurialism. Xe chartered a small sailing ship (The Jackdaw) to resurvey the Tårnebukt, Kvelningskanalen, and the Isle of Marhelbore by raising coin from xyrs fellow navigators and their captains. In exchange, xe would meticulously copy xyrs findings for each partner.
Christopher's map was a great success largely due to the xyrs skill in mathematics and astronomy, pedanticism, and neurotic obsession to detail.
