Atvero Eoset Accusamus


et iusto

A biography written by a disinterested party in the third person with information pulled from a bulleted list. Fawning--not too fawning--impersonal, and lacking (obvious) hyperbole; he she or it may grind it down into an indistinct white powder that could be anything but is ideally some molecular variant of starch. Deviations and the implications of said deviations will always be noted [it is customary for social minefields to inherently exist in almost all standard practice, for sorting purposes.]
There might be a second paragraph. Rather than be alarmed, though, understand that the second paragraph is very short in comparison with the first; a third-person account that lists passive achievements that may not be immediately relevant but reinforce the prevailing attitudes of sound behavior for highly-organized living matter.
There should not be a third paragraph.
