[QUOTE="Vertexx69, post: 5980197, member: 48854"] I think this could be a fun little game for an incarnation of King Grommet (The Mad). [sblock=Description]This apparently animated suit of armor stands a good foot shorter than an average man, though is twice as big around, and is covered in jerkily moving cogs and gears. One arm is wound in a chain barbed with broken cog-bits and gear-teeth, and a large clockwork shield floats silently next to him. A large half face-guard jutts up from his chest plate to cover the lower portion of the goggled helmet that peeks from behind it, with one red lens and one blue.[/sblock][sblock=Hook]King Grommet is completely untethered to any one reality, form or plane of existence.
