Well damn. 
That was faster than I expected. Someone means business, lol. Awesome though. I am excited when GMs are excited. Again, fantastic detail @Mag Lev you really put noticable effort into this. Really good job! I think there are a few things I need to catch up on in here and will edit my bio if necessary (though I tried being very nonspecific anyway).

Anyway,
My character:

 The Money-hungry Mechanic

Name: Adalayne "Adler" Pander
Age:27
Alias(es):The Mechanic
Gender:Male
Race:Human

Appearance:Adler is very short standing at 5’6’’ and weighs 155 lbs making him pretty heavy for his short stature. Adler is very muscular and defined, which comes from a lot of the metal work he has to do. Adler is heavier uptop, having a broad well defined upper back, chest and arms from constant hammer, mining, and archery. His arms in particular are very veiny and hard, to outwardly demonstrate the years upon years of hard work and physical labor he has put them through. He has a great deal of upper body strength, able to lift a couple dozen pounds more than his own weight in ore and rock. From playing with so much fire, he has a very bronze tan. He has rich, bright auburn brown hair that is so deep a brown that it looks like a starking red when in the light. Adler, like his mother, has bright emerald green eyes that almost seem to glow in the dark. 

Personality:Adler is good natured and seemingly, very respectful. He always knows his place when it comes to the lords and the ladies of the special, fancy noble houses as well as the fancy dressed members of the ancient families that are, usually, of some important somewhere. Adler tries his best to never step on anyone's toes or cause chaos. The boy hates drama. He hates arguing, thinking it is the most wasteful way to, well, waste time, and he hates having unnecessary complications. In fact, Adler hates anything that isn’t according to plan as, one, he has zero to no patience and, two, he doesn’t like to improvise. 

Adler is prideful of things he owns, creates or makes for others and thinks that his art and contraptions are above tier from those others make, despite being very young. As an inventor, Adler would rather create a new way to make a process easier rather than waste time doing something a longer way, again he is impatient, but he is not stubborn. His inability to fight conflict traditionally lets him compensate and complement others. Adler is the sort of many that will do anything or say anything to get someone bothersome to stop being bothersome. As one would imagine, Adler is extremely judgmental and prejudiced and racist, but he mostly keeps his negative opinions to himself and is constantly known to brandish a fake smile that, most of the time, everyone can see as a fake smile. 

Adler has a personality that seems lazy or spineless at a distance, but he is actually very hardworking and very confident and even cocky when it comes to things he is passionate about. Adler loves machines, technology and weaponry and is your usual nerd when it comes to showing them off or their display. Still, even over things he loves, adores, or put his heart and soul into he won’t fight, argue or contest with others with large personalities, it's a waste of time and he absolutely detests wasting time with loud people. 

Adler has a remarkable weakness for money. He loves money. He will work for anyone if they pay him enough and has been known, on more than a few occasions, to sell others out to the highest bidder. Adler loves everything about money, wealth and riches. After all, money is how he can build more and innovate on his previous creations, plus he likes booze, women and fine food. If you want something done money over honor is the best way to get his support and keeping him can sometimes get a little costly, though he has been known to also work for parts (though that’s usually because the parts have some exorbitant monetary value). 

Biography:Nathaniel Pander and Naomi Stonerunner were, once, a very happy pair. At the start of their relationship their love was glorious and seemingly endless. Nathaniel was an amazing mechanic and smithy, said to be able to fix anything. He worked for the nobles of the humans to improve or create things of convenience for them or to repair vital parts of the city. He was a universal man being able to be a mechanic, plumber, farmer, meteorologist, biologist, physician, baker, veterinarian, and everything that seemed to be between. He was said to be able to help fix any sort of issue you had, whether it be your house was leaking or you were leaking! 

Nathaniel was a genius, though he would never admit it, with a somewhat autistic way of living having a multitude of obsessive compulsive and sociopathic tendencies, though the one that always kept him all together was his childhood sweetheart the gorgeous and kindhearted Naomi with golden curls that that made all the noble ladies vehemently jealous. 

At the seemingly height of his career as the universal gopher of the Kingdom he had his prodigy, Adler. 

Adalyne Pander, his birth name, was beloved by his parents, in particular his father whom seemed to have an impossible time dealing with people. His son looked just like him and was just as smart. Nathaniel showed his love for his son by showing his son how to do what he did and it was through machine, contraptions, and inventions that the two bonded. Their innoventions were never super crazy astounding or new-age, however the two loved to craft together and truly bonded during those years. Still, till this day, Adler recalls those moments with his father as the most wonderful time of his entire life. 

Years went on and the Pender name started to gain some popularity...But it also started to gain some jealousy and fear. There was a particular man, Crexius Whailton, and his wife Merine Whailton, who both started to grow some distaste and hatred for the family of mechanist. They feared they would invent something that would destroy their town. They would spit rumor and gossip about the family making some view them as freaks and, eventually, Nathaniel’s good reputation became a bad one. 

Crexius managed to build up enough of a posse, all nobles, to raid the Pender and Stonerunner household. That was the day everything fell to pieces for Adler and his father. Adler, 14 at the time, was out looking for materials in the caves to melt down tools. When they returned home there was a large raiding party outside his home...However they were all quiet. 

In an accident during a struggle of keeping them out of her home, Naomi was killed. Creixus, having been the one to accidentally kill her, had done so and made his friends keep it a secret and rile up the townsfolk throwing out of the house all the inventions and small tools that he said were the Devils’ making. Things like being able to push-cut grass or automatically sort objects by weight were called torture devices. 

When Nathaniel and Adler arrived they questioned what happened and ran to their incapacitated and bleeding mother. Nathaniel, in an uncharacteristically rage, attacked Crexius, stabbing him, which caused the crowd to become all the more belligerent and, unfortunately, the noble of import managed to gain their favor and Nathaniel and Adler were forced to run out of the city having been thrown out. 

Life was far different after that. 
They had to do the difficult task of requesting their mother’s body, though her family denied it blaming Nathaniel for her death, and they had to leave everything they owned in the city to go live in another one. Another one where they were not known. If not for his teenage son, Nathaniel would have ended his own life or fell into despair, but he kept one foot moving after the other his eyes glossy and mind elsewhere. Adler took after his father, feeding, bathing and clothing the man, and eventually the two found a small village to call their own. 

His father became an alcohol, consuming only mead and rest, and he would be one for the rest of his days. Adler had to become the adult. He had to clean, cook and find work. Adler started to work odd jobs around the village, though it commonly wasn’t enough, so he would hunt small beasts at the beheasts of the small villages leadership and, eventually, he found himeslf swearing into the Journeyman trade to bring enough income to support himself and his father. 

It was hard. 
A lot of days they didn’t have food and a lot of times they didn’t have warmth or water, but they travelled when they needed to and Adler did a lot of horrible things for money to make sure he could take care of his father. Not being able to be home all the time he had a caretaker take after his father and she moved in her family and eventually had children and, by the end of it, Adler had to work even harder to support and entire household of people. Adler became very money conscious, having to quickly grow up, but it was welcomed. The stress and duress of having to fight, often times wicked beasts, helped distract him from the fact that his mother was dead and...So was his father. 

Adler’s house is a large, boisterous house. He has Rexa, the young caregiver that he asked to help his father. Rexa Landerhard ended up needing Adler’s help more than he needed hers and, wanting more than to help the woman, he allowed her to move her 4 children, Davis, Erikson, Elizabeth and Kylie, her husband, the very sickly Christof Landerhard, and her blind widowed mother Samona Berry and, of course, there is his drunk father. They all rely on Adler’s income, but they are all very grateful and Adler works hard for all of them as well as his father. He never regrets being home as the energy is always endless with the Landerhard family. 

Currently, Adler does a mix of things by offering services to those that “live in the darkages” to say, those that need a Journeyman, as well as by selling weapons and equipment as he travels. 

Equipment:Crossbow Arm - Gatling Forebow ⇸ is the former name Adler made for the weapon. It is a sleek automatic crossbow machine that is from his right shoulder all the way down to his right wrist. Weapon is a complicated, heavily stocked weapon that fires 4 inch long darts, needles and explosives. It fires in rapid succession and Adler can fire with excellent aim. It is most commonly stocked with 4 inch dart-blades (or shortblades) that are 2 inches wide. It fires with enough concussive force that it can break/penetrate bones at point blank. The weapon is highly versatile, however it does not work well in dusty/dirty or wet areas as the olies that keep the barrel in operating order needs to be maintained.

Crossbow Arm - Gatlin Cartridge ⇸ are the loading cartridges that Adler carries with him. He generally only carries two of each type of cartridge and they are are loaded with different types of weapons. These cartridges are inserted into a slot behind the bicep of his Gatling Forebow. He has explosives charges, which light after being fired off and create a very small firework like explosion that is very bright, has fog bombs that light when fired off and create large gray smoky clouds, he has shortblade that fire off blades, needle attachment packed with a large number of penetrating needles and he has a cartridge with a hook and wire attachment that can be used to grab and pull a target or as a grappling hook.

Crossbow Arm - Oil ⇸ Simple, highly flammable oil that he uses. He is required to use this if he fires too many arrows in any one event. He has known to use it for other purposes. It is completely synthetic, though he has also been known to use other substances/organisms to supplement it.

Compound Bow - Eliza ⇸ A very complicated metallic manmade bow made of a series of bows, wheels and four different sights on it. Eliza, named after a pubescent crush, is a formidable weapons capable of firing, due to mechanical engineering advantage, solid and heavy arrows at substantial speeds, distances, and with colossal power with a hawkeye’s accuracy. Of all his weapons it is his favorite and it has been maintained and upgraded the most. It utilizes a series of mechanical pulleys and high end tech-wire to fire an arrow with destructive velocity that generally takes down most common beasts. Adler is completely proud of this weapon. It’s his baby. He even sleeps with the device. It looks almost alien in design, however it is completely man made, by his bare-hands, with lots of fire and hammering and intricate screwing. His aim with it is near perfect and that is due to the complicated mathematical scopes that he has attached.

Compound Bow Arrows ⇸ Due to their weight, being heavier than regular wooden arrows, he only makes and carries 15 of the compound arrows with him. These arrows are very thin, but they are made of solid steel from smithing and are tipped with iron. Generally, they are absolutely superior in form and design than regular arrows, though their heavy weight makes them best suited to the enforced compound bow. These arrows can penetrate hide, bone, wood, and even plated armor under most circumstances.

Multi-tool Lance - Gate ⇸ He refers to this 5 foot lance as his Gate. The Gate is a number of steel, iron, bronze, and obsidian. The lance is about 3 inches wide and has a very complicated design in which only certain parts are supposed to open when specific patterns, or combinations, are turned into the body of the lance. Gate is full of portable hammers, drives, hooks, measures, and other long and sharp ends to support his toolbox in building or putting something together. However, he has been known to fight with his Gate able to make the ordinarily dull looking lance have a driver at the top to transform it into a javelin or cause a ruler, driver and hook to come out to make it like a pitchfork for jamming into a target or even popping out the portable hammer at the top to slam on top of an enemies head! It is a last resort for him, as he is more capable at a bit of range, but he does wield the lance with enough skill to be lethal. The Gate does appear very awkward when he does use it as a weapon however it is built sturdy enough to handle being slammed around. Traditionally, he carries it on his back with his compound bow.

Wire ⇸ For general purposes, and because his main tools require wire upkeeping, he keeps a short wheel of wire with him. He can also use this wire for short traps or for hunting.

Flint Rock ⇸ For general purposes, he always carries flint with him. Never know when you may need a fire...Or explosives.

Toolbox ⇸ He has a box of general tools that are designed to upkeep his weapons, however he can use these tools to fix just about any general labor object. He is very crafty and very talented with putting things together or taking things apart.

Skills:Tech-savy, mechanical engineering, knowledge of metals, stones, as well as experience with weaponry, skilled with crafting, repairing, or improving on non-magical weapons. 
Magic:
Misc:He has the ability to fix anything that is non-magical. He has strong engineering sense and, as such, is somewhat known among the Journeymen as The Mechanic
