[quote=@mattmanganon] Pretty much made a Raine stand-in. [hider=Frederic Denton] [SUB][U]NAME[/U][/SUB] Frederic Denton [SUB][U]AGE[/U][/SUB] 140 [SUB][U]APPEARANCE[/U][/SUB] Standing 6' tall and of seemingly thin build and the obvious Elven ears that give away his heritage, [url=https://cdn-us.anidb.net/images/main/4166.png]he's not exactly the most physically dominating man out there,[/url]. Usually, one of the most immediate physical quirks is the fact that he is missing his left arm. However, this doesn't leave him an invalid in any way, as, very rarely, he is seen with his [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/83/6c/7c/836c7cdd8b1dbd00ca4f3116f7130e73.jpg]Magitechnology arm[/url] attached. He wears clean white coats and a glove on his real hand at all times. In fact, the only real standard piece of clothing that he wears is a Church of Martel amulet around his neck. [SUB][U]TITLE[/U][/SUB] Mad Scientist [SUB][U]BIRTHPLACE[/U][/SUB] Luin (Or so he claims) [SUB][U]OCCUPATION[/U][/SUB] Archaeologist/Scientist/Healer/Local Schoolteacher [SUB][U]CLASS[/U][/SUB] Priest [SUB][U]WEAPON[/U][/SUB] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/83/6c/7c/836c7cdd8b1dbd00ca4f3116f7130e73.jpg]Magitechnology arm[/url] (Scavenged from broken machines during his past adventures, he managed to cobble it together. The arm has the following abilities: [list][*]Superhuman strength - Of course, the rest of his regular elven skeleton has to be taken into account for lifting anything, so lifting anyting over 300 pounds can be difficult, but it does allow him to hit things with much greater force than a regular human. [*]Raybit Laser - As parts of his arm were scavanged from Desian Raybit's and other Magitechnology machines, he did manage to get a simple laser weapon working. It's not exactly a death ray, rather firing small pellet-like balls of energy, but it's enough to take down small monsters, as well as humanoids. [*]Scatter-Bombs - Also salvaged from the Desian fighting machines, he managed to grab a single salvo of Scatter-bombs that his arm can deploy. Now, this is a one use weapon that he cannot make any more of as such, it's a literal last-resort. [*]Shield deployment - Can fan out metal fins in the arm to create a rudimentary shield. [*]Fine Manipulators and Archaeology tools - The fingers can split into many smaller manipulator claws which are useful for examining and delicately handling small items for better identification and cleaning of any of the priceless artifacts that he excavates. [/list] [SUB][U]PERSONALITY[/U][/SUB] Manic, dismissive and utterly devoted to the pursuit of technology and knowledge. He abhores idiots, but keeps his cards close to the chest at every given opportunity, never giving away any intentions. He seems to have an unhealthy interest in Magitechnology, like, to the point where he will ignore literally everything else in the room for a chance to study it. Although a healthy amount of fear of the desians permiates through the town, he seems to be one of the few without any fear whatsoever, more pure anger. He also gets very angry at anyone that questions his arm-stump. He is also quite partial to bottles of Palma-Potion. [SUB][U]BIOGRAPHY[/U][/SUB] Not much is known by the townsfolk of Iselia. About 15 years ago, the one-armed Elf blew into town and asked for residence and work. His healing magics came in handy around the town and at first he was asked to be the local doctor, but soon found a better calling as the local teacher, educating the local children about the finer academics, even coaching some of them to be able to join the Palmacosta Science Academy. He has, however, come under no shortage of scrutiny by the locals for his harsh teaching methods, his multiple unauthorized entrances to the Chapel of Martel, as well as his toeing the line of the Desian Non-Aggression Treaty with the Iselia Ranch a little too close for comfort. [SUB][U]OTHER[/U][/SUB] He only actually attaches his Magitechnology Arm when he's in dangerous situations or when on Archaeological digs. Otherwise, he prefers to not have it attached, carrying it around in a large case. [SUB][U]REASON FOR ENLISTMENT[/U][/SUB] Anything to stick it to the Desians, as well as to discover ancient ruins and technologies, as well as something a little more personal. [/hider] Will provide a more comprehensive backstory on request, but i also understand that his concept is a little out there, so i'm wondering if what's there is good before that. [/quote] Sylvarant's technology levels are borderline nonexistent. Even if the character was the world's MacGyver, how would he have come across the knowledge and materials to create an arm to the extent of all its abilities? I also understand the desire to have an abrasive character, but the history would make people question why they'd hire someone who so blatantly disrespected the Church and rules/authority to accompany the Chosen regardless of ability. The "Reason for Enlistment" is also supposed to be a small writing sample as opposed to the actual reason.
