TOKEN - CHRONOMANCER
TRAITS
• Eyes fractured like cracked glass or clock faces; pupils may tick or spin subtly
• Complex, shifting patterns on skin reminiscent of ancient clockwork or temporal glyphs that may flicker beneath the surface, visible only in certain light or moments of power
• Presence feels displaced— like déjà vu, or hearing a song you've never heard before
• Voice may stutter across moments, repeating syllables or skipping forward when invoking magic
• Can slow, accelerate, or loop short bursts of time in localized spaces
• Capable of delaying injuries, fast-forwarding healing, or rewinding specific actions
• Can trap others in time loops, stasis bubbles, or flash-forwards that collapse sanity for very brief periods
• Temporal sense allows them to anticipate movements, glimpse alternate outcomes
WEAKNESSES
• Overuse distorts their perception— moments blur, timelines overwrite one another
• Physical aging may accelerate or regress unpredictably
• Cannot affect grand timelines; fated events resist distortion and backlash violently
• Requires immense concentration; a single misstep can strand them "before" or "after" reality
• Vulnerable to memory-altering or anchoring magic that locks time in place

HOUSING
Ozpin currently resides in the Jefferson Market Library in Greenwich Village. The clock tower is currently non-functional. A spiral staircase under the clock tower provides access to the main three levels of the building.
The basement was originally the reference room, containing encyclopedias, old newspapers, computers, and music, movies, and tv shows. The basement also holds the utility room and several storage areas. It's very dark down there! As of now, Ozpin has left it as-is (apart from raiding some of the books).
The first floor (floor plans) contains the children's library and lobby. Off of the children's library there's a small meeting room. The children's library is being used as Ozpin's 'living room'. He's in the process of consolidating the children's books onto a smaller number of shelves and moving books from the other two floors down here instead.
The second floor staircase landing is next to the circulation desk, which leads into the main library room, which has a two-story ceiling. On the far side of the main library room is a smaller reading room. Ozpin has setup a rudimentary 'kitchen' behind the circulation desk.
A mezzanine overhangs the circulation desk, and can be accessed via a staircase in the employee-only area. The IT room was here, but Ozpin has moved most of the old equipment and converted it into his bedroom. A walkway extends from the mezzanine and across the main library room, leading to a storage room.
