[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4424265, member: 3087"] Redclaw and I could play a artificer with two personalities... Two personalities=twice the roleplaying for one character slot... :cool: Or a half-ettin half-dwarf. :D What? Why are you looking at me like that? Thromb Lickspit Artificer [sblock=Background]There were a few families that were poorer, or worse off than the Lickspits. And many more who worse off in non-material terms. His parents and siblings were not ambitious folk but they cared for each other in the fierce unspoken way. But Thromb fingered his threadbare clothing and looked around his family's mean dwelling and saw an affront. His parents were supportive of him, supportive in a way that's given him an indomitable confidence than he doesn't fully appreciate. They scrimped and saved to arrange for his apprenticeship to an old artificer a gifted but cantankerous teacher who isolated himself and his student for years in a tiny series of caves at the edge of the compound. Thromb loved the hours spent in the shop, working on complex projects, mastering the incantations and alchemical combinations necessary to enable the magic of artifice. He was master of all he survied in those caves, and there was no challenge he couldn't surmount. The old man's death has thrust him back into a world where he is no one. And then those stupid kids pulled off the sack from the cockatrice and got him stuck in this mess. That's fine though. Thromb Lickspit takes whatever the world throws at him, chews it up and spits it back out. He's gonna do big things, just as soon as he gets out of this ridiculous dungeon.[/sblock] [sblock=Appearance]Thromb is tall for a dwarf, skinny and powerfully resilient. He has a wild eyed look to him, hours bent over strange concoctions have put him in the habit of seeing odd things in his dreams and he seems to be jumpy and assertive to others; though he often tries to hide it. His hair and massive black bear shoot straight out from his head like stiff wire, fiercely resisting his efforts to tame it.[/sblock] [sblock=Personality, Goals and Mindset]Thromb thinks he wants to become rich, powerful. To show all the people who he thinks looked down on his family and their mean state how wrong they were about them. His drive, more than any physical trait, is what gives him his tremendous resilience. He's tenacious, and can be uncompromising; it's what's gotten him this far. He's not a fatalist. Everyone else he knows may be doomed to fulfill a lackluster life, but not Thromb Lickspit. He tends to cloak his hostility to the world behind a mask of typical dwarven reserve. He always tries to speak last, and to appear indifferent, he often fails to control his passion His everyone-vs-me mentality means he's stoutly, obsessively protective of people on "his side". He tends to assume the worst, to see threats and challenges that are not there, planning for the inevitable worst so that he can overcome it. He loves his family, but in his adolescent passion he overlooks their positive traits and sees their stout devotion to clan and country as "low goals set by small minds". [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
