Name: Blake Newman
Age: 27
Race: Human
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye Color: Gray
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 137 lbs.
Occupation: Inventor, tinkerer, wanderer, daydreamer
Personality: Comes off as your everyday John Q. Public. Generally very happy-go-lucky, if not scatterbrained when he's excited. Very intelligent.
Appearance: Blake's facial features are relatively attractive and very sharp. A pair of copper glasses sit across his nose, with an additional lens hanging off the right side that can be slid into place and used as a makeshift magnifying glass (very useful for fine tuning his inventions). His hair is well kept, and keeps it trimmed to a respectable, gentlemanly length. Underneath a very clean and very white long-sleeved lab coat, he wears a cream-colored dress shirt, a black silk vest, and a pair of black slacks. Shiny black leather shoes adorn his feet, and a black silk glove covers his right hand.
History: Long story short: Blake is an inventor from 400 years into Althanas' future, but was transported back to the current age when his prototype time machine malfunctioned and blew up in his face. I'll go into more depth with a solo quest later on.
Skills:
Average skill at hand-to-hand combat
Slightly above average marksmanship
Adept at creating and maintaining machines
Moderate skill at chemistry
Equipment:
The Xenoarm: Blake lost his right arm from the elbow down in a freak accident when he was 17. He fashioned himself a prosthetic limb to replace it. It is mainly constructed of Akashima redwood, with the forearm and fingers plated with a thin sheet of steel for protection. Currently, the Xenoarm is capable of firing two different projectiles: Five inch long crossbow bolts, which can be loaded five at a time through a slot near the wrist, and glass vials filled with chemicals that explode in a relatively small ball of fire upon impact. The vials can be loaded two at a time through the same slot. Firing the Xenoarm's weapons involve pulling a small lever that pops out near his wrist. The projectiles would come out of the center of his palm. Thanks to a complicated set of gears and pulleys, the arm itself has a full range of movement; most people wouldn't know it was a fake unless Blake showed it to them. It takes one second to load each crossbow bolt/vial, and fires at one hundred feet per second, with a full second for the next projectile to fall into place.
40 fiveinch steel-tipped cyper crossbow bolts--most kept on his belt, while others are stashed in various pockets of his lab coat.
6 glass vials filled with explosive chemicals
A pen and small notebook
A canteen filled with water (mainly for drinking purposes, but also just in case the Xenoarm catches on fire)
Familiar:
Annabelle--a small mechakitten that Blake created in his spare time to keep him company in the lab. It has a copper-plated skull that looks like it was molded off a real kitten, no fur, a tin and iron body and an underbelly made of glass that shows off its inner workings. Annabelle has advanced AI and a fully functioning (if not humorous) voice box. She usually travels in one of Blake's coat pockets. In order to keep functioning, she consumes heat and stores it in a small reactor located where a real cat's heart would be.
