"I swear if any of you dung for brains mention anything about me 'frolicking through the forest' I'ma shove this here sword up yer arsehole, and it's gonna hurt."
Cinnia Gòrdanach
Age: 27
Race: Elf
Appearance:Standing at a five foot nine, Cinnia is solidly built for an elf. Muscles that indicate raw strength, rather than the delicate finesse other elves might have. She has bright green eyes and long, fiery red hair usually tied back to keep it out of her way during forging, other work, or training. Upon her face she has two scars - one across her eye as well as one across the bridge of her nose. Trophies from a few rewards testing her weapons. Has a few others, but she ain't telling where. That's for you to find out. Normally she wears simple light clothing as to not get overheated when working the forge.
Role:Blacksmith/Enchanter
Cinnia has skill with using a forge to forge both weapons and armor for various purposes. Additionally, she is able to take materials imbued with a source of magic, and forge them into other items if she has enough time, materials, and is already familiar with the function of it. Could also be used as a general laborer, such as helping build things if she's needed too.
Bio:Cinnia, like most elves grew up in the forest. Unlike most other elves though, she spent more time inside the forge rather than frolicking through a field of daisies (She laughs at the idea). Cinnia has always been good with her hands, either when punching someones lights out, making things, or working with whatever it was she is working with. So instead of being a hunter or some sort of...uppity scholar, Cinnia instead took up learning how to smith quality weapons and armor. For an elf, that was a pretty new idea. She spent most of her early life training under a dwarf, even! A traveling blacksmith that wanted to travel the world and see the weapon making techniques of all the races in order to craft better weapons. When he showed up at Cinnia's village, she eagerly went with him and his other apprentice - another elf, by the name of Alena to boot.
Alena and Cinnia became fast friends, with Cinnia taking quite a liking to her somewhat klutzy superior, often spending time training themselves with weapons as well as how to possibly forge better. Somewhere down the road, after getting their hands on some rare Ore Cinnia's talent for enchanting became apparent. Sometime later after hearing of this expedition both her and Alena both applied to go - seeing this as a very good opportunity to expand on their skills.
As for why she was chosen over Alena? Well, the old dwarf was apparently a smith of some renown who had downright rejected the offer. So instead, they picked one of his apprentices - and it just happened to be Cinnia. She does feel a little bit bad that she was the one picked over Alena who was objectively older and much better than she was, but Alena wasn't much of an enchanter.
Skills: - Forging weapons and other things out of metal
- Inlaying enchantments upon weapons, so long as she has something to work with. (taking magic from something else, and forging it into a weapon)
- While not her main focus, she does have some skill with wood working.
- Swordsmanship. Cinnia likes to think a good smith can only be good if they can use the weapons they forge. As such, she knows how to use one even if she doesn't do so that much. She tests the balance, weight, and sharpness of every blade herself and if its not up to snuff she isn't happy with it.
- Knows what quality ore looks like, unrefined or refined.
- Cook. Yep, she can cook fairly well. Have fun, people.
Magic:Enchanter:As previously stated, Cinnia has the ability to inlay magical effects into metal as she forges it. This is typically achieved by taking magic from something - typically some sort of ore or other material with latent magical properties - and somehow forging it into the resulting item in a very precise way. This can give both weapons and armor some fairly nifty effects - blades that never dull, blades that simply seem...
sharper for some reason. Once done however, the armor and weapon will have the effect for its life, and sometimes the result can have some rather unforeseen consequences upon the object. Make it more brittle, for example. Additionally, it can be a time consuming process, and learning to work with new items can be more trial and error than anything, meaning heavy usage of materials.
Equipment:Cinnia bought a wagon full of supplies that any blacksmith might need
-Metal working tools (hammer, tongs, that sort of thing etc.)
-Her sword
-Portable Forge. A simple construct consisting of multiple parts, but is little more than a metal box on sturdy legs to hold coals or other burnable materials. It's not much, and to make anything more extravagant she'll need to build a permanent one somewhere. It's able to make a fire hot enough to allow for making simple weapons. To be assembled on-site when the group stops.
Other:Tends to be fairly flirty in her mannerisms.
