R.A. Pimagrumav

Field: Historical linguistics
Subjects: Lost Kiravic Coscivian dialects
Affiliation: Founding Fathers' University, Kartika

R.A. "The Rugged Man" Pimagrumav is a Kiravian linguist specialising in dialectology and historical linguistics. His main area of research is the changes undergone by dialects of Kiravic Coscivian during the rule of the Kiravian Union, as well as documentation of dialects and local speech patterns that went extinct during this period or earlier in the 20th century AD. A native of Váuadra and speaker of the unremarkable Lékaśran dialect, Pimagrumav was originally an audio archivist working for the Corcoran Institution. His interest in historical dialectology came from assisting linguists who accessed the Corcoran's phonogram library as part of their research, and he went on to complete formal studies in linguistics at Founding Fathers' University, where he is now a distinguished fellow. Pimagrumav's research relies heavily on archival evidence, and he has expressed some skepticism about the utility of computational methods in reconstructing lost dialects.

Despite the breadth of his work, Pimagrumav is mainly known (among the three dozen people who give a damn) for his role in the debate over whether the city of Kartika was ever home to a distinctive Kiravic dialect (it is widely accepted that it has not had a local dialect or accent since the Kirosocialist era). Pimagrumav is a leading proponent of the theory that a Kartikan dialect once existed but was destroyed during the Kirosocialist redevelopment of the city, offering phonographic and documentary evidence, as well as anecdotal accounts from purported rememberers. Other writers on the subject find Pimagrumav's offerings unconvincing as evidence of a proper dialect.

N.V. Salkatorin

Field: Mathematics
Specialty: Number theory
Notable works: Additive Methods for Testing the Infinitude of Primes (211XA)

Salkatorin was fired from the Argévia State University after that institution's charter was revoked by the state legislature. The basis for his dismissal was a report by the State Universities Audit Board, generated as part of a wider investigation into financial mismanagement at ASU, alleging that Salkatorin and his team had consumed over forty megawatt-hours of electricity and fried two supercomputers in their quest to discover the "biggest number ever". Salkatorin has disputed this characterisation of his research and defended his methodology, but admits that the two supercomputer crashes occurred on his watch. He now works as a substitute mathematics teacher for the County Faronin School District.

Perkolatur M.V.P. Sêlandarian

Field: Mathematics
Affiliations: Rivūlet Community College
Notable works: Mysteries of Island Colony №7 Revealed Vols. I-VII

A professor of mathematics at Rivulet Community College in Kensonia State, Sêlandarian is better known for his seven-volume book advancing the theory that Island Colony №7, a mysterious island occasionally referenced in government records, is either a small atoll, reef, or islet; an offshore platform; or possibly an artificial island somewhere in the vicinity of the International Date Line. Sêlandarian proposes a number of possible purposes that an installation at such longitude with a unique time offset could offer the Kiravian government, such as the manipulation of legal deadlines and digital timestamps.

Vaśa Alôxin

Field: Anthropology, Deep History
Specialty: Ancient Kiravian religion
Affiliations: Coscivian Culture University
Notable works: Fennic Freshwater Worship and the Revival of Ocean Spirituality in the Preclassic

Vaśa Alôxin is a woman professor of deep history at the Coscivian Culture University. She is best known for advancing a theory to explain the revival of Ocean spirituality in pre-classical Kiravia between the Moon-Ocean schism and the rise of the rave state, which relied upon practices of Ocean spirituality suppressed among most Kiravian communities since the Schism. Alôxin credits cross-Kilikas cultural exchange with the Fenni, whose religion focused on reverance for freshwater and bodies of freshwater, for providing an impetus for the revival of latent water-centred spirituality among the Coscivians and proto-Coscivians.
