[hider=Viik][b]Given Name[/b]: Viik (pronounced ‘Veek’)
[b]Gender[/b]: Male (by origin, technically no longer applies)
[b]Age[/b]: 31 (24 years as a human, 7 years ongoing as what he is now)
[b]Species[/b]: Unspecified

[b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=Digital depiction by myself (again, low quality due to Imgur)][img]http://i.imgur.com/IqU6fMN.jpg?1[/img][/hider]
[b]In-Depth Appearance:[/b] Viik stands at 5’10 and weighs 207.7 lbs, most of that weight coming from his enchanted stone components. Normally hidden, his fleshy white upper body contains all that’s left of his original human form, now preserved by a fetid black sludge that occasionally seeps out of the orifice located on his forehead (functioning to release pressure from gas buildup caused by the sludge).
[b]Brief Personality[/b]: Viik is an eccentric, taking great pride and joy in his creative hobbies. His primary goals in life are to improve his craft [i]and[/i] have it be recognized by those around him. To that end, he is a bit of an attention seeker, but (usually) knows when to practice subtlety. He enjoys setting up new milestones for himself, and appreciates being challenged by others, for the sake of show, education, and very often - payment. He places great priority on learning from mistakes in both his craft and social interactions. and thus has a tendency to make extensive organizational lists about any variety of subjects. He does not break away from his work often, but he is not entirely averse to joining in an activity with anyone who considers him a friend.

[b]Familiar Name[/b]: Siraan
[b]Familiar Form[/b]: Siraan takes the form of a female cobra, possessing stark white scales with small specks of black.

[b]Additional Information:[/b] Viik is the sole survivor of a series of largely failed experiments conducted by an unknown scientist seven years ago. The experiments involved introducing modified arcane substances to human test subjects in order to produce laborers that could work in extreme, otherworldly conditions. Viik managed to survive the initial trials that gave him a myriad of resistances and immunities to various supernatural afflictions, but was deemed too physically [i]weak[/i] to be of any practical use as a worker. Thus, Viik was discarded and left to eventually expire on his own.

However, Viik was simply too tenacious to accept this as his fate.

Viik crawled out of the muck he was thrown into and was rescued by a passing caravan, one traveling with them being an experienced golem crafter and limbsmith. Viik was gifted with a new set of limbs to replace his weak and withered ones, allowing him to stand and walk on his own. He was also taught extensively about the arts of golem crafting and limbsmithing, but unfortunately, his mentor eventually passed away due to illness. However, the mentor, to Viik’s benefit, had enlisted several favors from several individuals in order to acquire a scholarship for his protege, completed only in his dying weeks. Thus, Viik deigned to make good use of his mentor’s boon and attend Silverspell University to both improve and promote his craft.[/hider]
[hider=Viik’s Thoughts]Ivy Jade Riverstone - “Viik knows magic can make better crafts. Viik must approach snowy blonde witch and request assistance. And Viik is not so sure witch will say yes.”

Varos Sulan - “Dragons difficult to work with. Often demand highly decorative crafts made of valuable materials without contributing any themselves. Viik is not made of money, damn it.”

Ashley Jens - “Lycans and shapeshifters present challenge to Viik. Want to make crafts capable of transformation compatibility. Viik believes lycan man wishes to help in this endeavor.”

Ethra - “Big-eyed owl woman interested in Viik’s crafts, but not in having any installed on her person. Viik understands this. Not everyone wants bigger, better, rockier versions of themselves.”

Haka-Mesuka - “Lycan woman does not seem to trust Viik or his craft. Viik understands this, again. Maybe she will reconsider in future.”

Katarina Elza - “Viik does not care for purple muscle-woman. Too destructive, too likely to turn Viik’s crafts into debris.”

Raven Magnus - “Magical fur-person is unpredictable, but seems agreeable enough. Viik may approach him about collaboration in future.”

Mortem - “Viik like swordy bone-man! Viik could make new body for him, stronger and better! Viik need only master the art of soul relocating first. May take some time, or a few.”

Griffin - “Viik feels for bandage man. Viik also does not recall person he used to be. Wonders if he could make anything to cheer him up. Maybe new herbal pipe or similar apparatus. Viik should ask sometime.”

Om - “Viik appreciates bulky shock-bird’s positivity, but is keen on declining hugs from him. Viik feels he is strong enough to break Viik’s limbs very easily.”

Lola Dague - “Ha! Viik dares hungry shadow woman to make food of him! Like licking oil off of leaky automobile, Viik bets.”

Leonard Brand - “Just a man. Viik can appreciate simplicity. Viik can also make man much better, for a price.”

Alex Rovan - “Viik is sure he will never die. He will just make new and better body for himself, eventually. Don’t think reaper-man appreciates that. But then again, Viik does not care.”[/hider]
