Anyhow here’s the timeline for heads of the Institute i was talking about. Part 1. Disclaimer some of this information is canon but most are my own headcanons or like. Literally stuff i made up on the spot.
Jonah Magnus (1818-1872)
Born 1785, which makes him 33 when he founds the Institute.
Trans!!
Pocket-sized (like REALLY short. He wears the tallest heels known to mankind and still only manages to be kinda short), auburn curly hair that gets a bit wild, thin eyebrows and face, button up nose. Those cheekbones bring all the boys to the yard. There’s a sharpness to him that remains even as he ages. Ngl he’s a ball of energy and can’t really be stopped when he gets into a mood.
Did the Eye extend his life? Probably did
In 1867, attempts the Watcher’s Crown after Smirke’s death (he was 82 then, Smirke was 93)
It fails, he gets Panopticon powers, starts making preparations to both move the Institute and move his counsciousness into another body.
Disappears in 1872, at 87. Body is never found.
Julian Morgan (1872-1898)
Julian is a name that means Youthful. Little easter egg lmao
Ngl he kinda looks like Ben Meredith because I thought it was funny.
Facial hair!! Jonah went a bit buckwild. He will calm down after this don’t worry
Has a face that flushes easily, straight nose and dark, striking eyebrows, full lips. Big ears. He has light, straight hair. Jonah likes having light hair, it reminds him of his original but without being, you know, a ginger (he was bored of the jokes). Neater hairdo than Jonah ever had. Soft voice.
Finished moving the Institute to London, overseeing the construction of it. He didn’t like leaving his body too far out of reach. (<-author has no idea how long it takes to make a building btw)
Was 34 when Jonah took over, 60 when he died. Jonah got scared of death and strokes and allthat and perhaps switched sooner than was necessary.
Michael Lewis (1898-1903)
Another Michael!!!
Round/full cheeks, very nice skin (circus approved for sure), thick eyebrows, curling mustache. Dark and curly-ish hair, is starting to bald. He does look a bit older than he is, he was 29 when Jonah took over and 34 when he “died”. Is perhaps a bit on the shorter side.
I don’t know what happened to him, but something sure forced Jonah to switch out vessels sooner than he was expecting.
Anyways, we’re done for this part! I still need to color the others lol. And give Richard a weave. Planning on doing some full body outfits too. Bye for now! Also @jonahfagnus you wanted to see so here goes
