[hider=Zimble Spannerspin]

[b]Name[/b]: Zimble "Zim" Spannerspin
[b]Race[/b]: Gnome

[b]Age[/b]: 63 (That's still young, dude!)

[b]Appearance[/b]: Zimble stands at 3 and a half foot tall, with a lithe frame and unusually large ears. He has naturally purple hair, which he keeps neatly trimmed, just like his goatee. He wears an enchanted grey coat covered in pockets, which is where he carries the majority of his things, as well as a gas mask which hangs around his neck whenever he isn't wearing it. 

[b]Skills and abilities[/b]:[list]
[*] He's a highly skilled mechanic and tinkerer, capable of dismantling a city bus and putting it back together as a convertible, if he has the time. He can repair cars and craft things using just scrap and spare parts.
[*] In the same vein, he's a highly talented driver so long as the car has pedals designed for smaller folk.
[*] Despite his small size, he's very capable in a fight. Many a raider's shin has been shattered by his lug wrench, and he crafts makeshift bombs whenever he has the materials. He has a few guns stored away in his Coat of Many Pockets, but doesn't have the greatest aim, so he tries not to waste ammo if he can avoid it. His sawn-off shotgun is good for emergencies but the kickback is harsh.
[*] His small size allows him to fit into places others can't, and helps substantially whenever he has to remain hidden. It also means he doesn't need as much food as everyone else, and can be carried with ease by most adults of human size.

[b]Background[/b]: Zimble was a car mechanic and part-time inventor before the bombs dropped. Although in truth, every gnome you'll ever meet is a part-time inventor, so that isn't saying much. He loved to travel, and was on a trip when it happened, cruising around the globe. The good news is that his ship was far enough away from land at the time for him to avoid being caught in a mushroom cloud, but the bad news is that he's terribly far away from his home; A Gnomish Burrow by the name of "Badger's Hollow". He has no idea if his home is even still there, let alone if his family and friends are alive, but he's optimistic. After all, the good thing about living underground is that you don't need a fallout shelter in the basement, your entire town is a basement! And besides, if he's able to do some good and help some big-folk survive while he makes his way back, the journey will be all worth it in the end.

[b]Other stuff[/b]: Zim Spannerspin is, truthfully, only one of his names. Gnomes love names and most have over a dozen, but they choose one and stick to it when they deal with other races, since big-folk seem to get annoyed having to keep track of more than one.
