| Name: | Haydn Grey | |||||||||
| Bio: | General Information Name: Haydn Grey Age: 37 Gender: Male Present Background Occupation: Professor, Classic Languages and Literature Finance: He manages. History: When Haydn was a kid--and yes, his name is really Haydn (pronounced HI-den), not Hayden--he wanted to be an astronomer. His most prized possession was the telescope set up on the back deck. He had a mini library in the bookcase in his room, full of the hows and whys and history of the universe. He threw everything he had into science and he planned, one day, to have something in the sky named after him. When he was 13, he was diagnosed with juvenile retinoschisis, a genetic disorder that was slowly impacting his vision. Without a cure or a truly effective treatment, Haydn was told that he was going to go blind. Being an astronomer was suddenly out of reach. It was his English teacher in 10th grade that turned him on to the classics. When she noted his interest in the Odyssey and Beowulf, she arranged to meet with him once a week after school. She read him the epics and, when she could find recordings, borrowed them for him. He started studying Latin in 11th grade. By the time he graduated, he had a new career in mind. He picked up Greek as well as continuing Latin in college, continued in Classical Studies, and eventually earned his Doctorate of Classics. He teaches at the University of Boulder. He is, for reasons primarily of logistics, submissive. He has been exploring, on his own, for a few years and was recently introduced to the club. He is not yet completely blind, but he's at about 95%. He retains very minor (mostly large movement) peripheral vision and the ability to distinguish between major shifts in light and dark. He does often wear shades. Appearance In Brief: Brown hair, blue eyes. Fit. Tends to dress casually. Is fairly good at attempting to make "eye contact" i.e. looks in vaguely the right place.
