Name: Archmedus Magnes or Arch for short

Description:
He has a thin build with a long black beard that is braided into a single cord. What is particular about him is he has complete heterochromia where the right eye to dark purple, and the other blue. His hands are heavily callus due to constant working and tinkering with the machines he builds.

Backstory:
He was born in the western part of Rhael, in a lower class noble family although his complete heterochromia did not show until a much later age. When of the age of 9 he was “playing hide and seek” from one of his caretakers. For some strange reason he chose to hide in the family’s small library. He hardly ever visited this place due to finding it quite boring but it did provide plenty of nooks and crannies to hide in. While quickly running and trying to find a hiding spot, he accidentally ran into one of the book cases causing to book to tumble out. When it hit the ground it cause the book’s spine to break, allowing the book’s content to spill out all over the ground. Fearing retribution from the local scribe he decided to hide the books and its pages within his bedroom.

A week later, during the dead of night with only single candle lighting up his room, he decided to start to read the book. Dumping the messy contents on his desk, he started to go through the pages of this book. The book explained the basic of levers, counter weights and gears. Fascinated by this, he continued to study, absorb, and understand the concepts and diagrams of this book for almost a year. At the age of 10 he was able to apply most of this in basic of levers and counter-weights however the gears were the hardest to come by due to the materials and expertise to build them. By the age of 11 he was able to design a crane system that allows a single man to lift many times his own weight although it will not been implemented until a couple of years later where his parents were able to convince some of their contacts implement the crane design. At the age of 15 he was able to design a simple device that would wander around a table a dispense a selected beverage into a person's cup and a mechanical arm was thought up and scribble into a sheet for later use.

However, his crane system was being implemented in some parts of western Rhael although someone else was taking credit for his design. Furious by this he burned most of his designs and copying only the most promising designs into a personal journal that he carried around with him at all times

At age 18 his complete heterochromia started to appear. Also, his more exotic designs started to be planned such as single handed self- reloading crossbow, and a mask that amplifies the user’s sight and hearing. This year is where he designed and built a mechanical arm, although it was clunky and inefficient, it worked. But the strange part about it is it wouldn’t work with others and tend to break down when other tried to use. He tried to find answers for it but it seemed to fix itself as soon as he laid his hand on it.

Then at age 19 the Acasic Conquest came and destroyed most of his family’s property and his inventions, and all that was left was him and his journal. So, ever since then he wandered the land trying to find a noble that was willing to support him.

How old is your dude? Just for reference if I meet him. Your backstory ends at 19 with the Acasic conquest, which started 20 years ago relative to the current time of the game, so I guess according to that your dude could be anywhere from 19 to 39.

[jaass]

Yep.

[Remuthra]

Will join. One moment...

[Criptfeind]

Yep.

Huh?

[jaass]

Yes, he is 39.

Looks good, except for one thing. Speaking as someone who has worked in a machine shop, 'invention building equipment' is far, far too vague.

Feel free to tack on an extra minor skill, though, and I'll write your character into the next update. Fix the inventory thing whenever you get around to it.

[Araph]

Also, jeez that was a big update; I think we have plenty of players. Until someone drops out, I'm calling off applications.

Kyle smiles to himself. Good info is great money.
Kyle heads back to the surface and loiters around the tavern until night falls.

Because the updates are large and infrequent, I'd appreciate it if you'd give me more information on what he does when night falls instead of spending an update loitering.

Keeping to the ground, Aerzekar sneaked behind the sentry, dagger in hand. As he draws near, he clamped his hand over the bandit's mouth so as to cut off his screams, and sliced his dagger along his jugular veins and his throat.

Similarly, if you lay out his combat plan entirely, I'll run through it until he botches a roll or something of note comes up.

[Criptfeind]

I didn't really have a huge amount of like. Actual things done in my turn. Which I am a bit sorry for. But hopefully that should at least keep my char going to the point where a more complex plan of action can be created.

[jaass]

Updated inventory and added skill.

[Criptfeind]

So this is dead then? Confirm Araph?
