The Azer is aware that the Prime Material Plane is flammable and extremely fastidious about keeping her distance, lest she damage anything.2. He is intensely curious - and credulous - about the techniques by which common materials were produced.3. She is the Azer equivalent of a gourmand - Azer don't eat, but they do burn coal and oil, and she has exquisite tastes respecting the strata and vintage.4. He is aware that most creatures on this plane reproduce sexually and that this informs a great deal of their culture and social interaction, even if he's somewhat vague on the details; he will interpret innocuous behavior as attempts to hit on him, and be thoroughly offended by this.5. She is continually shivering and trying to protect herself from the cold.6. In a bid to remain innocuous he is "going undercover" as a dwarf, though the details are all wrong. (If dwarves in your campaign have Scottish accents his is Jamaican, &c.)Ideal1. Good craftsmanship, of course! The Azer appreciates a job well done and skillfully executed - regardless of the ends it serves.2. She is an avid Marxist-Leninist, and will happily explain how the Azer producers are waging war on their loathesome exploiters, the capitalistic Efreet.3. He is an avid Objectivist, and will happily explain how the Azer producers are waging war on their loathesome exploiters, the looting second-hander Efreet.4. Form over function; things should be beautiful, and may be most beautiful when they serve no function at all. She is continually devising and crafting chindōgu of some kind or another.5. Function over form; aesthetic features - facades, unnecessary pillars, gem inlays on a mundane dagger, ritual - are in truth ugly excrescences. 6. The best part about building things is that then you get to smash them!Bond: the Azer is here on the Prime Material to find...1. the river-gold of the naiads...2. the heart of an honest man...3. alkahest...4. a silver blivet...5. 8 oz. of sentient, Chaotic Evil black pudding...6. the skull of a greater gazebo...which is the final component needed to complete...1. his daughter (one half of an Azer hops behind him and acts like a precocious child)2. a spelljammer 3. an even more precise wrench4. a cryonuclear warhead5. a perpetual-motion machine6. an exact replica of the Lady of PainFlaws1. She is continually complaining about the poor construction of things, especially natural objects.2. He is an "idea guy" and requires "menials and apprentices" to actually build/do/implement anything for him.3. She is missing a leg and must hop around until she can make a new one.4. He steals without compunction, which is only sensible, since he'll be able to put it to much greater use.5. She is extremely polite until an adventurer makes some variation on the inevitable "fire crotch" joke, upon which she will attack immediately.6. Actually just dwarf on fire; will die in 1d4 rounds.</blockquote>
