Irwin Irwinson

Irwin Irwinson is a Norwegian astronomer and a demigod-level Deity in WWSNG.

Significance in WWSNG
Irwinson was hired for the project in 1972. His mission was to make something that would look like a sky full of stars and moons. Utilizing a survey made by Smith Smithson, he was able to incorporate just about the entire pantheon of every sentient race in WWSNG into the constellations of the New World.

What constitutes as the night sky in WWSNG is not made of any real stars or planets. Rather, it is a magical veil upheld by John Johnson's magic.

Irwinson was taken aback after finding out that the project must remain in absolute secrecy, and that he could no longer go back to Norway to his wife. Later in 1972, right before the project went into an information blackout, Irwinson was forced to fake his own death. He has since fallen in and out of depression, and was granted retirement by John Johnson in 1973.

It was later hypothesized that Irwinson's loss of contact with his wife led to him regarding his friend Frank Frankson more fondly than before. Mostly out of a job, Irwinson would often tag along with Frankson for trips to the further regions of the New World.

Irwinson was the first person proved innocent of treachery by Zachary Zacharyson in 1974. Zacharyson knew that Irwinson couldn't be a traitor, as he was hired only after his suspicions about it had already started. Zacharyson convinced Irwinson to flee into the New World and "disappear".

Frankson, a seasoned traveler, declared that he would go and find Irwinson. After weeks of scouting, Frankson was lucky enough to find Irwinson. Irwinson explained his situation to Frankson, who realized that he now had to subsequently join the resistance movement.

Years later when Jeffery Jefferyson joined the resistance and built a network of secret tunnels underneath the resistance's base, Irwinson was given responsibility to remember the labyrinthine routes by heart.

Powers as a demigod
With the addition of the usual demigod-powers of self-sustainment, physical strength and longevity, as the creator of the firmament, Irwinson has been granted powers to seemingly create celestial bodies of any size or image. This is sometimes used as a universal warning sign to civilians.

Trivia

 * Irwinson was the 10th person to enter WWSNG.
 * Irwinson's and Frankson's friendship is often times jokingly dubbed 'Just shy of homosexual' by other scientists. While not having developed into anything physical, Irwinson has been garnering romantic feelings towards Frankson for a long while.
