Pholus laughs a bit and nods his head at the mention of the job board. He now has an idea at what to do for the next few days and what to do for pay. 

"I'll gladly take a job up when I get the chance to and I'll help you out in treating wounds if the needs arises because you seem rather friendly. What's your name ma'am if that's alright? And yes I make...not really machines, more like contraptions. I can make...small bombs and the like with the tools and materials I have. I could probably make larger machines of sorts if I had the items to do so and the time but I prefer much more hand held gadgets...for example."

He pulls a switch on his metal gauntlet to make it turn into a crossbow on top of it. Wasn't one of his best inventions...but then again, he didn't pull the other hidden and imprinted switches on the gauntlet for the other hidden things inside.

Name: Pholus "Fantastic" Ranson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: 

5'7". around 154 lbs. 
However, he is usually found wearing very light armor that covers his chest and upper legs. His actual medium/heavy armor is only found at his gauntlets and boots. 
His hair is a dark shade of blue with matching blue eyes. To compliment the looks, his entire uniform is blue; preferring to wear as little armor as much as possible due to his gadgets. 
Personality: 
Pholus much prefers joking around and making a few pranks happen instead of doing tedious work that he would believe is pointless (such as normal sword-swinging training). Another trait is Pholus's preference of using diplomacy or his head instead of trying to use his blade. His gadgets are made for various tricks such as smoke bombs or even a few medicinal herbs to quickly treat a wound of sorts. Finally, his value for loyalty. Despite being a constant trickster, he isn't an idiot when accepting the blame and prefers to trust his own allies over his own talents. 
Brief Backstory: Pholus never knew his parents and lived a good portion of his life as a scavenger in the city of Meridian. Luck seemed to find him when a wise inventor managed to find Pholus in a fight with several street thugs. The inventor managed to intrigued Pholus due to how the inventor solved the problem just by throwing a few smoke bombs at the thugs faces. The two grew a bond over time as father and son. As Pholus grew, he learned of his adopted father's past of wanting to be a knight for the Iron Rose Knights but never was able to gain enough skill in sword fighting. Pholus, decided to fulfill his master's wish, trained each day; trying to learn the way of the blade but mostly invested time into combining the skillset of an inventor with the skillset of a knight. Now, at the age of adulthood, Pholus leaves his master with a somewhat heavy heart...willing to defend the people of the land and become a proud Iron Rose Knight.
Equipment: His vest has a small pack that has all sorts of trinkets inside. From small smoke bombs to medicinal herbs, to even a few small extra small daggers, some may even consider him a hoarder. His gauntlets are quite thick but when he forms certain hand gestures, certain gadgets activate: a small mini-crossbow (not really damage but more for sure shots), a few small explosives (mostly for distractions or making fire), and one lethal dart in each hand. His boots can be pulled in certain angles with a few straps on the side to form spikes at the bottom. Usually when he can bring extra gear and tools in his backpack, it's mostly to resupply his gauntlets or pouch. Though he would bring a grapple hook attached to rope for an emergency inside it as well. 
Skills: 
Sword Talents: His sword-fighting skills are on sub-par with normal street thugs...but anymore than that is nowhere near a legitimate fighter with the blade. To make up for this, his gadgets found in his gauntlets or his accuracy with the other tools under his vest aid in fighting. However, he much prefers being a distraction and quick strikes instead of a long drawn out battle. This leads to his evasive skills, somewhat fast reflexes, and agility. The two major blades he has, a paralysis poisoned Rapier that has an emergency launch the blade feature and a sword in between a gladius, longsword, and greatsword that is openable and releases caltrops. 
Crafter: Name, and he can most likely make it. However, his talent in herbs and such isn't his best; only able to make smaller cures to poisons and wounds. Not really fond of legit medical information. His skill in art is much better and helps in forging, copying images, or really anything that involves writing. The best talent he has is crafting either weapons, tools, or gadgets. Tinkering life he was brought up with, and tinkering every tool he has is what he does.
