[indent]Wilben is the exact average height for an adult male Gnome - that is to say, he's [i]really short[/i]. At 97.5cm tall (3'2''), you might think Wilben was compensating for something with his aggressive attitude. However, he's also pretty damn handsome for a Gnome. He takes good care of his mind and body, making sure his physical appearance is just as presentable as his dishes. He was at the top of Gnomingham's most eligible bachelor list for years until he got engaged a few months ago. He's well groomed and makes sure his hands are extra well taken care of - they haven't even suffered a paper cut since he was young.[/indent][sub][h3][indent][i][color=7FFFD4]𝔾et to 𝕂now 𝕐ou[/color][/i][/indent][/h3][/sub][hr][color=7FFFD4][b][sub]Affiliation:[/sub][/b][/color]

[indent]A famous pastry chef, and in fact one of the world's most well-known Gnomes. He comes across as pompous and condescending, fully aware of his fame and more importantly, his very real skill. He is respected for his strong palate, esteemed family name, and raw talent as a pâtissier. He has no patience for people that don't take things seriously or give their best, so he seems rude and unfriendly - which he definitely can be. He likes earnest people but isn't close to anyone except his family and staff.[/indent][color=7FFFD4][b][sub]Backstory:[/sub][/b][/color]
[indent]Bread. A staple food beloved by all races. The foundation for many a meal and cuisine culture. Throughout history "bread" has not only been improved, but amplified. Sweetened breads, soft chewy savory breads, tough long lasting breads, the famously sliced bread. Yes, the nature of bread - of life - had been explored thoroughly and had gotten to the best it could be.

Until Wilben came along. Then, it was perfected.

Wilben was born the eldest of twelve Gnomelets in the sub-city of Gnomingham, the capital of the Gnome country. His extended family all owned property in one little block, so the houses were usually full of rotating uncles, grandparents, and cousins twice removed coming and going. Despite living in the sub-city, half underground from the bright and fresh high-city grown up tall, the Felpips were renowned magitech engineers and made good money in the sale of their blueprints and designs - they just [i]liked[/i] living in the dank, dim area. Well, most of them did. It was closer to the mana core in the Earth, after all. Some, like Wilben, hated it. His family was full of weird eccentrics and he much preferred the high-city. He had friends there, attended school there and most of all it wasn't [i]freaking dingy[/i]. Everything was [i]fresher[/i], especially the food!

Now, it's worth noting that Wilben himself was [i]also[/i] a bit eccentric, but he wasn't focused on magitech. No, he gradually grew more and more obsessed with food. His focus was breads - it went bad quickly in the sub-city what with the damp conditions, so he experimented and came up with a mold-resistant bread. It sold like crazy on the streets of the sub-city, and that was the start of a storied career in cooking. Once he perfected his bread recipe, he expanded out - powdered breads, sweet breads, and other experiments. Baked goods and sweets - anything a pastry chef was expected to handle, he did flawlessly. One could call him a natural, a baking prodigy. He certainly calls himself that.

After a few years of scholarships, apprenticeships, traveling the continent for experience and working damn hard, Wilben opened his own bakery. Serving only the most perfect, gourmet baked goods, [i]Le Paradis[/i] became insanely popular - and remains so to this day. Between the impressive magitech designed by the Felpips and used in the bakery to the delicious, heavenly foods sold there, [i]Le Paradis[/i] became one of the most well known bakeries in the world. Once he earned his third michelin star in his late twenties (or Gnome equivalent), it was finally time to adopt a new surname in true Gnome fashion. 

Nowadays Wilben has taken an apprentice of his own and focuses on developing new and exciting pastries and his upcoming wedding. Some of his staff brought the notice of the "Wild Hunt" to his attention, and as he's always on the look out for new ingredients to incorporate, he decided to join on. It will be his last adventure before he settles down to bring his family and [i]Le Paradis[/i] to new heights.[/indent][sub][h3][indent][i][color=7FFFD4]𝕌tility[/color][/i][/indent][/h3][/sub][hr][b]Skills:[/b][list][*]Baking

His magitech items include a small portable "cookbox" that functions as both a mini oven and hotplate, water purifier, pack carrying device and small bladed flying device that acts as a carrier pigeon.[/indent]
