I’m Retiarus, and, despite my young age (which I’m not going to disclose, no thank you), am both aspiring historian and linguist. I also like to call myself a 'researcher', but not sure how much I can verify that claim. My favourite historic scenes mostly feature local histories of the Mughal Empire, and I am deeply fascinated by Central Asia and the Indus Valley Civilisation. And I wouldn’t be able to call myself an aspiring linguist without speaking a few languages, obviously. I can speak English, Gujarati, and Hindi to a fully conversational level, Spanish and Japanese too, but not at a level as high as the first three, and am currently learning Classical Chinese, Chagatai and Akkadian.
Other things I like include coding, Italian cuisine, reading 300-year-old documents and sugary foods. My favourite art styles are early impressionism and rococo painting, and I have a taste for dark fantasy, psychological thriller, and dystopia in books.
