Description

Nomen Nescio is a shade on the 'tall' size, not too thin, not too wide, nor weakly or strongly built- It's not enough to call his overall build (save for his height of course) 'average', but he's simply TOO average. Attempts to describe him sorta go on like this. Slicked back hair, clothes too cheap to be designer label but too nice to be cheap knock offs, a posture that is overly relaxed with a gaze that is attentive and inquisitive, all comes together into the shape of an outward appearance likened to a sleazy salesman, an overeager lawyer, a scoop stealing ace reporter? Despite the winter, he spends most of his time dressed in a short sleeve shirt, vest, loose slacks and a large, but thin overcoat, meant to protect more against rain than actual chill.

Curio, on the other hand- (Although how could you compare them? They are clearly not the same person at all.) could be tall. Maybe. He slouches, and seems to keep himself tensed up, as if expecting the world itself to strike him down, making him a fair bit shorter if compared against his 'friend' Nomen. Unkempt hair, clothes too nice to be off the discount rack but too cheap to be tailored, a posture that exudes nervousness and inward thinking, all coming together in the shape of someone that could very well be either a 'diy mad scientist', a shifty drug dealer, or maybe just someone trying their hardest to become a hikikomori but always falling short because they have to leave the house for some reason or another. It's really hard to see what he wears, considering he keeps his lab coat buttoned up at all times. It could be similar to what Nomen wears though. For some reason or another. ` -`

---

The twin personalities of Nomen and Curio have slurred together, like someone stopped Jekyll halfway through his transformation to Mr. Hyde. Recognizable? Maybe only to those that know them both well. Attentive to the point of looking paranoid, his eyes almost seem to try and look in opposite directions sometimes... Hair that looks like he stuck a fork in a light socket then brushed it back. Mouth too wide, and almost stuck half between a smile and a tight lipped frown. Arms and legs too long to be natural, hands that clutch at something that looks like a bullwhip made of fresh human skin, wrapped around his left wrist tightly to keep the slack. A torso that seems over-inflated... but at least he seems to fit his clothes well.

History

Insisting it was chasing something to earth, the parasite Nomen Nescio was locked in combat with some other creature when the human Jamie Sasaki came riding up to investigate what he thought could be his biggest scoop- and ended up dead. Dying? Dead? One of the two. Nomen instead decided to merge with Jamie, sustaining him.

Nowadays, Nomen is the public face of the two, as Jamie is perfectly happy to give up the daylight hours to the parasite riding shotgun in his body. They both have a dedication to learning new things, and depending on the content, either reporting on it, or blogging about it. Really depends on how believable the story would be to the regular person.
