[b]Character Name:[/b] Sketti Hammerhand 

[b]Race/Species:[/b] Dawi (Dwarf) 

[b]Gender:[/b] Male 

[b]Age:[/b] 178

[b]Career (if any) and Skills:[/b] Sketti is a master Engineer and Tinkerer. Being a slayer, he is no novice to battle, as fearsome up close as he is from afar with his firearms. 

[b]Weapons:[/b]
2 matchlock pistols strapped to his broad chest. 
A long handled broad headed Axe attached to his belt at his right. 
A thunderer rifle at his back.
Mechanical stump on his left arm that he can screw various things on. So far, he just has a wrench and a hammer head to his repertoire. 

[b]Attire:[/b] Sketti's upper body is naked, his leathery skin covered in blue tattoos of Khazalid. His belt is sturdy and well made, clad in links of bronze over its linen body to keep it together. The Dwarf wears hardy leather trousers and Enginner work boots below. He has two golden circlets that frames his beard at both sides, and one golden molar in his mouth.

[b]Equipment/Other[/b]Pack of various parts and gunpowder to tinker with and create bombs  or other utensils with. 
Beef Jerky 
2 pints of Bugman's he guards with his life. 
1 pipe and a pound of pipeweed.

[b]Physical Description (as detailed as possible please, pictures not accepted.):[/b] Broad and supremely muscled, Sketti stands chest height to a man (except for his huge crest of hair that needs to be dyed again, for it looks more blondish gray now). His upper body is covered in blue tattoos written in Khazalid. His left forearm and hand has been replaced with a steel and bronze stump. Sketti sports scars crisscrossing along his chest and waist, and one along his right eye (though his eye is workable) 

[b]Mental Description/Personality:[/b]As most Dawi are taciturn, grim, and often bound by tradition, Sketti steps out into his own category. He has a respect for his people and their ways, but among his kin he is seen as an eccentric and a maverick. The slayer loves creating weapons and vehicles, thoroughly enjoying the satisfying sound of a bullet punching through a goblin's chest, or an explosive bomb tearing through an Ogre. He'll often get very reckless in combat, though of course, that is to be expected from a Slayer. Most slayer's however don't have quite the satisfied joy of when he kills someone in just the right way. 
Sketti is talkative and often sly for his people, though he won't shy from being the voice of reason if need be, and talking down to the lesser races like an old veteran. Akin to most Dwarfs, he loves good beer and a good brawl, and a fine sheet of metal to shape into what he sees fit. And after a good fight (and explosion or two), he'll enjoy a nice pipe by a good fire.

[b]Background/History:[/b] Hailing from Karak Kadrin, Sketti grew up a promising young Engineer in the Slayer Keep's army, building Gyrocopters and Organ guns and serving the local patrol as a Thunderer when war erupted. One such time in his latter career (right before taking the oath), his patrol was attacked by a band of Goblin Wolf Riders. He shot the Goblin Rider off a charging wolf, only for the beast to pounce on him. Hardy as the mountain stone, he gritted his teeth and reached for his pistol, using his arm as a distraction so the Wolf would not attacking anything more vital. Another Goblin approached from the side, about to take advantage of the seemingly easy kill. Sketti shot that Goblin instead of the Wolf, causing his arm to be a bloody ruin by the time he pistol whipped the beast away, before burying his Axe into the creature's huge head. He received an honor by the king for his bravery and survival skills. He became steadfast friends with a few notable Dwarfs, and eventually found himself with the position of Master Engineer of the Guild. Unfortunately, Sketti found himself unable to be competent overseeing hundreds of Dwarfs at work, much preferring to oversee smaller, special teams like he was used to. So he did, and one day his fool hardy experimenting went too far, causing a new quad-engine Gyrocopter to explode, killing two of his fellow Dwarves and injuring Sketti with shrapnel to the gut. He survived, but took the slayer's oath as recompense. He then embarked on his life as a Mercenary...[/hider]
