The Skytower Rebellion

Andrew Bishop

Full Name: Andrew Bishop

Age: 73

Race: Aesthetically Human

Appearance:

Without the gold around his neck and chin
Personality:
Bishop is openly kind and sincere with an especially strong sense of morality which many find odd coming from an Android. He believes that most issues can and should be resolved with diplomacy and non-violence. Furthermore he is of the belief hat a large part of the daily problems of society could be solved with a little patience and goodwill. Despite all of this deep down he has a hard streak in him and when those he cares about are threatened he has been known to act Harshly. While he is not unkind he does not form close relationships easily and is rather neglectful of things not pertaining to his work.

History:
Bishop was created 73 years ago by LifeLike industries and was touted as being one of the more advanced sentient servants available on the market. He was purchased by an older clergyman to assist in the daily duties in the church and to act as the priests personal retainer who named him Andrew. It was during this time that Bishop learned of the place of androids and other sentient machines in the world. It was not uncommon for him to be mocked and ridiculed by parishioners or in the streets when the old priest was not around. He felt alone and empty wondering why he would be created if only to serve in such a pitiful existence. It was the words of the priest that gave him hope. The old man would speak with Bishop constantly telling him stories of saints and sinners, Falls from grace and Redemption. And it was the priest who finally asked one day if he was happy in his servitude When Andrew said he was not the old priest let him go telling him to find his happiness and be at peace. Andrew was lost without a master but quickly found a purpose in the fledgling Machine Rights Movement becoming a spokesman and lobbyist for the granting of full citizenship to sentient machines and illegalizing the sale of sentients as servants. During this time he encountered much trouble and hardship and was placed on Babylons Registry of Seditious Androids(RSA). Eventually though The MRM won out and Sentient Machines were granted full citizenship in all the city-states though they still face discrimination to this day. Not long after Andrew took the last name Bishop to honor the priest who set him free and left the newly founded MRA(Machine Rights Association) to become the first Synthetic Human to serve in the Police force. His service was short though as he was retired out of duty after just eight years. During his service he met the first person he fell in love with and soon after would marry. After his retirement he now spends his time at home caring for his newly adopted child and does freelance work as a consultant for the police.

Hints of Gehrharts past le gasp

The Insidious Night

All Gehrhart could muster was a snort of derision, "The only thing you count on an elf to do is be petty and arrogant" he spat back, "You're a good man AND I trust ya, but i'll never understand why you do some of these things". Feeling very tired all of a sudden he stood and patted Thaddeus on the shoulder "I'll see ya there then" ,he said as he walked back to the old innkeeper. "I trust my young acquaintance paid for a solo room for me then?" he asked the man. "Why indeed he has master dwarf" the innkeeper said to him as he cleaned a mug "Far room at the end of the hall, can't miss it". "I won't be needing it" Gehrhart said "In the morning i'd like you to return the money back to him".
"Of course master dwarf" the innkeeper said slightly confused, "But, if i might ask where shall you be sleeping?"

"Outside" Gehrhart replied as he headed for the doors "I want to see the stars". "Ah" the innkeeper said as realization hit him "I warrant you haven't seen the sky at night then?" "I have but never for long" Gehrhart answered as he exited "I find it relaxing". "Well a good night to you then master dwarf" The innkeeper called as Gehrhart left.

While he had been truthful about his desire to see the stars there was an ulterior motive to Gehrharts wish to stay outside. He made his way to his pony and retrieved from its saddlebag one of his most prized possessions from a small wooden case, a small delicate looking lute carved from wood and engraved with dwarven runes, He also retrieved a clay pipe and pouch of tobacco. Taking the flute, pipe and a small blanket he found a dry spot under a tree on the edge of the town and sat at the base of the tree lighting his pipe and began slowly playing the only tune he knew, a dwarven lullaby. The stars are beautiful tonight, he thought, like diamonds thrown across an ocean, I wonder if you ever saw them. A tear began to form in the old dwarfs eye, I think you'd have liked the stars He continued Maybe you're one of them, way up there away from all this. The old dwarf looked up at the night sky through the branches of the tree at the stars, if you are and you're watching I hope i can make you proud.

---

He didn't know when he had fallen asleep but he awoke the next morning at the sound of a rooster crowing, the lute sitting in his lap. He returned to his pony and stowed the small instrument back into its case. Daddy loves you he thought as he gently placed the case back into his saddle bag and began preparations for the ride. He hoped Wolmak would be around soon and they could head off to their destination and could get this adventure really underway.

since we're so melee oriented i'm thinking of moving Gehrhart onto the back-burner and drawing up a mage.

. But we need to figure out polearms, besides the pikes, as well.

Been lurking, thought these might work as an alternate polearm
War scythes can be made big and heavy, perfect for an orc.
