[b]Name:[/b] Roark Ironfist [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 62 years [b]Species:[/b] Mountain Dwarf [b]Occupation(s):[/b] Engineer in the Greymountain Dwarves' military (inactive service); journeyman alchemist (formerly apprenticed to the alchemist of the Ironfist household). [b]Background:[/b] Showing a great propensity for mechanics and construction from a very early age, Roark began to experiment with various projects, building his first ballistic crossbow at the young age of 14, and refining a repeater for it by the age of 15. As soon as he was old enough, his aunt recruited him into the Greymountain military to capitalize on his skill as an engineer and craftsman, but not before one of his uncles had convinced him to become an apprentice to the family's alchemist by mentioning that some alchemical compounds are quite useful in the construction of more elaborate devices. While rather competent at melee combat (favoring his family's fighting style known as "Hammer and Anvil," using a war hammer paired with a heavy shield in a primarily offensive form), his true talent lies in engineering and ballistics, which lends itself to highly effective ranged combat and trapmaking.
