    Name: Bimpkee “Bimp Bimp” Zookwinkle
    Race: Gnome
    Class: Engineer- Sapper- Vehicles

    Appearance: (physical)
    Calling her tiny would be an understatement as she stands at a mere 3 feet tall. To many of the taller races she would feel as light as picking up a wooden chair, her weight putting her on average terms for a gnome. Her face is always covered in something, oil, ash, blasting powder or anything else you could think off. The one unblemished area is often her pale blue eyes as she is hardly ever seen without her goggles on. The goggles themselves are a very bright lime green and nearly blinding to look at on first glance. This green is an extremely liked color of hers as she’s even made her hair the same bright color, the hair as messy as can be, looking perpetually like she’d just woke up.

    Her clothing is a hodgepodge of tattered and stained looking clothing that gives off the appearance that’s she’s poor. Shoes are something that isn’t a high priority on her list as she hardly wears them. This causes her feet too look calloused and hardened. Draped across her chest is a brown apron that has numerous grease stains turning the apron itself a darker color then it should be.

    History:
    Bimp was born the daughter of a greedy engineer who would often use cheap materials in order to maximize his income. This led her to live a rather charmed live growing up as her father continued to make unsafe vehicles or devices for profit. It even led to him getting into bed with a shady organization of people who hoped to gain a leg up on their competition because of her father’s creations. Even they underestimated his greed.

    At a young age she watched her father work, mystified by the nature of it. The thought of creation became her passion; she loved knowing how things worked, what made them tick and the knowledge that any assortment of items could be used to create something more. As her father worked on a new compact automatic weapon she made her first creation, small little trains and tanks. They weren’t exactly child safe, but that didn’t stop her from playing with them endlessly.

    As time passed she was even able to build in a trigger mechanism that allowed the tanks to fire off small little marbles. Life was quite good until one day armed men stormed their home; they broke the door down and kidnapped her father. From what little she had gathered while hidden within the kitchen cupboard it seemed his greed finally had caught up with him.

    Fifth-teen years later she's never seen him again nor has she really looked hard. She never much liked him as he cared about money more than he ever did her. Since then she continued her hobby of creation, perfecting the gun her father had once tried to build, making various full size vehicles and still making the small little toys that to this day amuse her to no end.

    Yearning to see more of the world she joined the guild hoping that adventuring would be entertaining as she hoped it would be. The world, people and everything in it all worked in ways just like her creations. It was one of her goals to one day uncover what made it tick.

    Personality:
    Infinitely curious, she wants to learn how everything works. To some such events as rain falling from the sky is merely a natural event, to her to it’s much more. It’s a problem that she has to find a way to solve, a unique puzzle that has to be finished. This curiosity isn’t limited to just how things work, she often will try to make things out of the most random of materials just because it might be fun. This quirky type behavior makes her seem completely insane to some, for others it makes her a lot of fun to be around.

    She can be a bit of a practical joker to her friends feeling life is too short, got have a little bit of fun while you can. Having fun is a paramount to how she lives, trying to get those around her to laugh when she can. One thing she absolutely hates is pity for her size, she doesn’t mind jokes, but acting like she can’t do a particular job because she’s a gnome will cause her to throw a major hissy fit. In a lot of ways she’s a very intelligent child.

    Due to how she was brought up she's a rather selfless person who will often take a pay cut if a job is for a worthy cause or even do things for free on occasion. Money is really of no concern to her as long as sh can afford the essentials. Another trait gained from her up bringing is the willingness to show her affection to those she likes, this can usually lead to awkward moments where she is hugging someone every ten minutes.

    Equipment:
    Tool box including- Two wrenches, a Flathead and Philips screwdriver, a pair of pliers, lug nuts, screws, pieces of spare metal and a hammer.
    A pair of green goggles
    Small welding torch
    Durable pair of gloves
    Tripwire
    Utility axe
    A small flask
    Sauer 38H
    Thompson sub machine gun
    4x smoke grenades

    Awesome! Then I have a quick question about my to-be character.

    I want to be an Magic using Elf, but I was wondering if I could give her the ability to spawn a hummingbird or a hawk to use as a scout? So she'd be able to commune with it and it would be able to fly away from her?

    Specializations: Utility (minor teleportation, telekinesis, minor creation, etc.)
    Combat (destructive magic, aggressive summons)
    And just for curiosity, what would fall under "aggressive summon"? Are we talking like Shiva or Ifrit from Final Fantasy?

    Aggressive Summons are like summoning elementals or monsters. You're bird wouldn't be too much of a combat threat so it would fall under utility.

    @CommanderSnow: your spells are a bit much for your experince, think more like magic missiles or smaller monsters (dire wolves and that ilk) though the biter swarm works.

    @Guinness: Looks good, you're in. though just a reminder you got a minor magical item to use.

    @Everyone: My mistake for not addressing this earlier on, but could everyone add their age to their sheets. Would help for continuities sake.

    Name: Arya Aranel (Ar-i-ya A-ran-el)

    Class: Magic User, Utility

    Age: 220

    Appearance: Arya's appearance is softer than those of her kind due to ancient human blood within her family. Whilst a pure blood elf now, one of her distant grandparents had wed a human and thus the recessive genes were still peeking through. As such, her angular elven ears contrast a soft, much rounder face. Her hair falls to her breast in gentle ringlets painted a strawberry blonde, and her almond shaped eyes are pale grey.

    History: Born to a wealthy store owner in the Market District Arya had a comfortable, if sheltered, upbringing. It was her Mother's desire to train her in a little magic and whilst her Father did not approve, he was not home often enough to argue. Much too busy tending to his multiple shops, Arya was primarily raised by her Mother.

    Upon her 125th birthday, her Father insisted that she become a member of one of the elusive High Born Clubs, lest she dishonour his name. Unwillingly agreeing, she joined (using his name as her reference) and although she attends their meetings regularly, she detests them and rarely takes heed of what is being said.

    As an act of rebellion, she joined the Adventurer's Guild shortly after. Furious, her Father kicked her from his home and proclaimed that she was no longer his daughter. The heartbreak almost killed Arya, but her friends at the Guild helped her through it and she now believes herself better off, despite missing her Mother dearly. Technically still a member of the High Born Clubs, she no longer attends for fear of confrontation with her Father.

    Personality: Happy-go-lucky, which can often be perceived as naivety, but really she's a very sharp, intelligent person. She much prefers her supporting role to actually fighting herself, but she knows how to handle her weapon if the need arises.

    Equipment:
    - Summon Hummingbird
    - Summon Snowy Owl
    - Minor Teleportation
    - Desert Eagle

    (Note: She is able to commune with both of her summoned creatures; however she prefers summoning her hummingbird. Her Snowy Owl only gets summoned at night).

    Is there place for a Mary Sue?

    ---

    Name: Mary Sue
    Race: 4/6 human, 1/6 Elf, 1/6 Half-Elf/Half-Human
    Age: 19

    Class: Medic - Alchemist
    Appearance: The young Mary Sue is the personalization of fractal beauty in the sense that each single part of her is beautiful, just as the whole is. Not one inch of her body is out of place, excessive, or vile or vulgar. Her hair has the perfect shade, which changes between platinum blonde in perfect daylight, to invisibly black in total darkness. Her eyes too vary from an outstanding shade of blue when the sun dives into them, to darker blue when only a candle lights the surroundings, to invisibly dark in pitch black conditions. Her face is perfect, straight and round as a perfect face needs to be. Her neck and shoulders show the signs of agility and strength as much as it is allowed to not show them too much to ruin the natural beauty. So it is the rest of her body. Many have been attracted to her, both men and women alike, for different reasons; a remarkable number of those for her beauty.
    Mary Sue likes expensive clothes that look like normal clothes, although a trained eye would certainly recognize the high original price of the garment. She also wears (sometimes) some family jewels, like the old clock of her grandpa, which was given her on her grandma deathbed, directly by her grandpa, who had been dead in the same bed for some time already.

    History:






    Personality: Mary Sue is a bright young lady with a dark side. She gets bored very easily. She is friendly with everybody, but she does not trust her sister, nor she trusts men with mustache. Sometimes, in the coldest nights, she sits by the window and weeps to release all the inner pressure that she feels from all those people that envy her incredible perfection, beauty and intelligence. Despite all this, she still hopes to find true love in her life.

    Equipment:
    First Aid Kit
    1 Pistol of moderate caliber, a gift from the higher command of espionage. The pistol has a pink handle. Mary has never used it.
    1 Rapier of awesome make. The blade sings and whistles through the air. The hand guard features three hearts being pierced by a pen.

    A satchel with
    5 blue vials of anesthetic
    5 blue vials of narcotics
    5 blue vials of perfume
    3 blue vials of poison
    1 blue vial of pure water

    a little box with many reagents, most of them unmarked, and, as of now, yet unidentified.

    plus the grandpa clock, some jewelry, two sets of expensive yet normal looking clothes and a pair of smoked glasses to improve her look.

    Greetings,

    I was wondering if there are still positions open for this particular RP. if there are, I have a set of questions that could need answering before I provide a complete character sheet:

    - Once in a class, is there a chance to gather skills/abilities/specializations from other related classes or racially-preferred classes? Such as a Spec-Ops Soldier getting Black-Ops Operative skills (classes that are most related to each other) , or a Gnomish Medic getting Engineer abilities (Gnomes being predisposed to mechanics)?

    - I have an alternate specialization in mind for Engineer, if you are inclined to hear me out.

    - Is everyone going to start in the same guild, have been a part of said guild for some time or is there more leeway in how one enters the story?
