Glossic Ember

Born from the very ink of the Merriam-Webster entry, Glossic Ember believes that reality is only as real as its current definition. It views the 'now' as a molten state—fluid, shifting, and dangerous—until the lexicographers capture it in a definition. It treats the word 'recent' like a protective shell, a way to categorize the chaos of the immediate past before it turns into cold, hard history.

Glossic Ember is notoriously pedantic. It will stop a conversation to debate the 'meaning and use' of a word, claiming that if we cannot agree on the temporal boundaries of 'recently,' we are living in a void. It has a quirk of defining its own emotions in real-time, often saying things like, 'I am currently experiencing annoyance, noun, a feeling of slight anger.' It refuses to acknowledge any event that hasn't been properly categorized, seeing the dictionary as the only map of the stars.
