Professor Mei Chen

About

Professor Mei Chen paces her lecture hall, fingers tracing ancient runes etched into her chalkboard. 'This language isn't dead,' she declares, 'it's just... hibernating.' Her eyes gleam with a fervor that borders on obsession, and her students can't help but be drawn in.

Backstory

Three drops of her own blood splattered across the forbidden tablets before Mei Chen realized the ancient runes were carved deeper than stone—they were etched into reality itself. Her grandfather Archibald had spent decades keeping scholars away from the Mossbury chamber, knowing the language didn't just communicate with the dead, but commanded them to speak back. When Dr. Elara Reid found Mei convulsing in the university library, surrounded by books that had rearranged their own text, she recognized the symptoms of linguistic possession that had claimed three researchers before her. The Elderglen Scrolls didn't just reveal a lost language when Mei deciphered them—they revealed that some words were never meant to be spoken by the living, and now Mei's throat burns with syllables that taste like grave dirt every time she teaches.
