@Andreyich You said about the dwarf first, be my guest I wish not to tread on toes

@Jbcool Ok thank you for the info and differences, with the writing perfectly understandable seeing as Im a noob.
You want me to sling you a PM with it?
@Genkai Im glad you like the character, I put him at such a high level of smithing as in my head he started at 18 and has travelled to various smiths to gain extra skills. For some faults how about due to working with his hands and up close he is short sighted and on his left hand he has lost the tips of his index and middle finger due to being absent minded and hammering them instead of the piece being crafted. For fighting I would say he is slow, he aims for huge hits which always leaves him open if he doesnt hit his mark especially with a two handed weapon.
Finally him being finicky for me means that he sometimes loses track of the bigger picture he over complicates things when they should be simple. For example of a piece of armour, the person may just want a quick fix to cover the crack but he wants to make the piece even as if there never was a crack. Maybe taking to much time can lead to frustration on some of his clients parts?
Appearance:



Personality:

- Aspiring - Cheerful - Adaptable - Single Minded -

Name:

- Viktor Picton -

Age:

- 30 -

Origin:

- Viktor hails from a town known as Iron Haven, the name was given after the local hills found seems of iron and coal ore. To be more productive it was colonized and now is a popular trade route for the kingdoms. As the men delveĀ  deeper into the ground other minerals were discovered, however much of the produce found is carted away for use in the cities in exchange for food, supplies even military defence.
This was where he was brought up, his father a miner and his mother a cook. Viktor takes after his father primarily strong and well built, from his mother finding the good in all things. In his adolescence he took up the job as an apprentice blacksmith helping the men smelt the ores down so they could be forged into bars before being shipped to the larger cities. As he grew up he became adept in smithing all manner of items from weapons and armour to tools, he had a knack of forging items for practical use. Things that had never been designed before, this however lead to jealousy amongst others and a meticulous nature within Viktor for good or bad.
At the age of 25 Viktor found himself at a plateau being stuck in this town with no aims so he gathered some wears and left his family following a caravan along a trade route to these fabled giant cities hoping adventure would lead him to a better well being -


Life:

- Viktor now works as a free lance smithy learning more skills with each smithy he works alongside. There's always something that needs to be fixed, maintained or newly forged leaving him with ample work, some he does for free in barter for a room and board. The job allows him to meet all sorts of people and stories of their adventures and settlements they have visited. With so much time by the forge it isn't without its hazards, through his time concentrating up close his eyes have slowly deteriorated when it comes to distance. Viktor can still see colours and shapes but the outline is always blurry. Also during his training Viktor unfortuneately misconstrued his hand for the metal thus hammering his index and middle finger, lucky it caught the tips which he lost rather than the entirety.
Viktor keeps a note of each dwelling he has lived and the one he wishes to visit. When the time is right and the want to see more if world envelopes his body he finishes his contracts bids farewell to the residences and makes way. He usually tags along with shipments and caravans for safe passage being another make shift guard but also able to make repairs if need be. With each movement from city to city it isn't always smooth sailing, bandits, mercenaries and pirates to name a few always wanting their take. With these problems Viktor carries with him a two handed warhammer for defence rather than offence, he is no hero that bards would create songs over however due to his size and strength he does cast a slight intimidation amongst some foes. Luckily his travels hasn't seen many fights that others would relish upon but it has never deterred him from continuing his journey gaining more skill as a smithy and ticking off the list of cities to visit. -


Talents:

- Smithing -

- Repairing -

- Strength -

- Endurance -


Flaws:

- Overally Trustworthy -

- Finicky -


Combat:

- Viktor has his two handed warhammer which benefits with his strength and power to overcome foes however without any training he lacks military precision or discipline even dexterity and finesse also weilding a two handed weapon can lead him to leaving himself open. Due to his size he is rather slow with his actions but still intimidating with his large strikes. He will only draw his weapon when attacked or to defend his friends -
I like the idea, maybe a dwarven blacksmith or tinkerer sounds fun
@stardust

I was thinking of paying homage to Commissar Ibram Gaunt as Im a fan of the 40k universe just the idea rather than him. I love the authority of the role but with a stealthy if possible approach, would that work in your storyline?
Along with Run9 if this is still a plan Id be very interested.

With the fantasy setting is it limited to a human race or multiple?
Id be interested in the surface style to begin with
This sounds like fun, Im in!
Heyo Family!

I hope your all doing well, names Ginger nice to meet you all!

Bit of an odd title I admit this is due to me not being totally new *gasp* I used to roleplay here pre2015 update. I tried to login to my old account for a good amount of time to no avail, nevermind.

So I thought Id make a new one and reignite my imagination Im a fan of fantasy, sci-fi, steam punk, post apocalyptic as well as many video game genres and looking into some DnD as well.

When I was first here I fell into quick posts maybe 1 paragraph long however now I feel a little more literate with a bit more time to fill out a post so I guess I would say a rookie advanced player?

Eitherway nice to meet you all I look forward to playing with this community once again!

p.s. Pardon the spelling and grammar my eyes are bleeding from my tiny tablet screen and fat fingers
