Mrs. Elizabeth Lockheart can usually be found with her dirty blond hair disheveled and loose, or lightly pulled back. During formal events and times when she absolutely must be presentable, then her hair is pulled back into tight intricate braids. Her eyes will change color with the shifting of the moon's phase, slowly shifting from blue to green to blue again, spending a great amount of time in an amorphous gray color. She is fit and healthy, as one might assume, though with all the corestry it is sometimes hard to tell who actually is as thin as they present themselves. She stands tall for a woman, standing equal to most men, even when not in heals. She prefers darker colors of clothing, having a fascination in filigree, so she is often found wearing heavy dark brocades, suits cut in an almost military style when socially acceptable. It is not uncommon to find her with goggles and leather gloves, flawlessly embroidered, of course.

Being of the craftsmen's stock, she is a top notch metal bender. What sets her apart, however, is her metallurgical knowledge. She works in alloys most have never dreamed of, pushing the limits of what is possible in today's sciences. Her designs are more steam powered and less clockwork, preferring the lighter weight to the generally heavy and bulky clockwork designs. She is also extremely quick in her art, perhaps it is her unabashed stubbornness in her personality that allows it, or her actual knowledge of metal types and characteristics, but she can bend larger pieces of metal faster than most, allowing for a very fervent improviser in combat situations. She does have another knack, she has megnetic draw. As long as she has skin contact with piece of ferrous metal (iron based), she can amplify its magnetic field and push/pull other ferrous metals, this is nothing overly incredible, but it'll draw a wrench that is just out of reach to her.

Her reputation proceeds her in many ways. As you may already know, she is quite stubborn (her husband would laugh at 'quite'). She has a seriousness about her and she doesn't like to waste time, making her come off as blunt or brash. She is tomboyish in her behavior.

In a land with enhanced peoples, perhaps it is folly to think it, but Elizabeth typically comes unprepared with weapons or armaments, preferring to use her abilities to fashion them when needed, if needed. That being said, she finds her self most often using small blades or blunt objects.

When diplomacy and subversive information gathering have failed and it must come to open combat, that is where she would prefer to bring things to a head, facing an issue head on, with all of her focus.

Elizabeth grew up as a Bird, no not the animal - the family; a somewhat renown group of craftsman, showing greater than average aptitude at a young age. She learned how to bend metal, the manual way, with heat and hammer, before she ever learned how to use her gifts. She grew up as one of three, and the only girl amongst them. Later, when she was old enough, she was sent to the best school for girls available, Madam Geraldine's. It was here that she met her future husband, Chester Lockheart. They met at a social etiquette and information gathering exercise held betwixt the two schools, they tell the story of it being love at first sight, but it was anything but... or perhaps it was everything but? There was passion and attraction, in ways that neither knew possible before that night. Nonono, you mustn't blush, they both retained their purities that night. After graduation they partnered up in an engineering and design firm, with her skill in the metallurgical arts and his famed mind for design, they pushed the limits of conventional materials for steam vessels and ventured into new, unknown alloys, their combined craft pushing at the edges of what is and was possible. Some might say that the rest is history, others might say that this is where the hi-jinks ensues.

Her and her Husband are currently working on something big, but it's details are unknown to anybody outside of the two of them. They are loathed to be taken away from this project, as they believe it could reshape the world as we know it. However, everyone who has any perception towards being deceived, they all know that there is a secret.
Elizabeth as a little more than a passing interest in Automitons, but on learning of their taboo nature she discontinued her study of them. She has a general knowledge of automation theory, but little more.

Chester Lockheart is a fair individual, handsome and kind to look at. His pail skin is contrasted by his long black hair, which he wears slicked back into a pony-tail, tied into place with a favor from his dear wife, Elizabeth, and precisely trimmed facial hair. He is well built, average for a man in most every way. He keeps himself well kept at all times, always ready for an audience with a client, always ready to accept company. He is oftentimes found writing in a large leather bound book, or at least carrying it with him with his pencil tucked into his ear just below his top hat.

Where many a scholar has lended themselves to the mental art of deception and subtle espionage, Chester exists to design and engineer things that the average craftsman couldn't possibly come up with on their own. Oh sure, he can still do that other stuff, he is just better at engineering things. It is almost as if he can talk to machines that don't exist yet, having in-depth understanding of how a mechanism will work simply by looking at it, or thinking about how it should work based on the input and output of it. It is said that his voice is exceedingly smooth and calming, and has mastered how to use this to disarm opponents, both in spoken word, and in song.

While his mind is second to none when it comes to designing things, it would only be dreams without his wife to make them a reality. He would not have been called without her, and she probably would not have been called without him.

"Must it always come to violence? It must? Well, then I suppose I'll have to bring my revolver with me..." Chester has an ultralight revolver that Elizabeth created for him based on his specifications, allowing for greater accuracy with a shorter barrel, making it easier to conceal, and keeping it light- plus the special alloys that the gun is made of make it lighter and more balanced in his hands. His top hat also conceals a hidden trick, it can be flattened to be used as a sort of makeshift shield. It wont stop a bullet, but it will stop a blade. He carries a knife and a garrote as well, but he would much rather shoot a man than stab or strangle them.

None? But when it cannot be avoided, Chester would much rather keep things civil and calm. However, when that fails he always has his wife to fall back on.

Chester's life began before his met his wife, but he would tell you that none of it was important, and that for him Life really began at that party. Despite this, he started out as a poor boy from a poor family. His parents died, tragically, of a soot sickness that affects the lungs of many of the poorest. They were relatively unremarkable people, which makes Chester's Scholarly pursuits extremely curious, and his partnership with a member of the famed Bird family even more curious. However, for those that know him, they know that he is every bit deserving of being her partner, of being her equal. And if marrages are for love, as the romantics think, that their marriage is perfect. If it is for utility, as the socialites think than their union is still perfect, because they each provide something that the other is lacking, creating a perfect whole unit.

Coming from poor means it was unlikely that Chester would have any knowledge of the true teachings at the Polytechnique. It was through a former instructor from his youth that he learned of the true intention behind the school and its rival, and it was through this Alumnus that he was introduced to the headmaster of the school and submitted for entrance to the school on the merit of his abilities.

Name

Dameon Brown
Title
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr
Age
โโโโโโโโโโ
31
Gender
โโโโโโโโโโ
Male
Appearance
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr Brown is a nondescript gentleman with a kind of handsomeness that is pleasing to look at, but you are not to likely to think back on in jealousy or lust. His facial hair is kept trimmed and in good order, his longer hair is often loose beneath his hat, but when a hat isn't involved it is often found pulled back into a ponytail. Dark brown eyes that leave you curious about what is hidden behind them, but no special detail about them reminds you of them when you see something else at a later date. While fit and trim he often dresses in layers as to disguise his form, his movements, and gives him plenty of pockets to put things in and pull things from.
School
โโโโโโโโโโ
School? No time for that, too busy working and earning my keep.
Guild
โโโโโโโโโโ
Guild? Those that need my skills and are willing to pay for them always seem to find me. No need for the guilds to get involved... unless they want to pay me.
Gift
โโโโโโโโโโ
The gift of suggestion: Through a sort of scholarly attribute Mr Brown is able to broadcast a kind of mental suggestion; the simpler the better, and the more focused the higher the success rate. Perhaps if he had ever gone to school to train and develop the skill further he would have been able to use it to its fullest potential, alas that is not the case. Instead he has learned how to use it in a few specific ways:
- Don't look at me
- Don't listen to me
- Don't smell me
- Don't notice me at all
Me can be changed to Us and a small area around himself suitable for maybe 2 additional people if they stand really closely together will be blocked from perception.
A general broadcast will catch more people, but is easier to shake off. A focused broadcast will be harder to break through, but really only affects one or two people.
Other people with scholarly abilities are simultaneously resistant and susceptible to the effects of the suggestion. If their gift is in active use, their mind is open and easier to push the suggestion to, but if they are not actively using their gift than their mind is closed and harder to push. The same is true for Mr Brown. If he is using his gift and a mind reader reaches into his mind they will get much deeper than they typically would be able to achieve.
Automatons are not effected by his suggestions at all.

Occupation
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr Brown makes it day to day by peddling in secretes. Using his gift he sneaks into the targets life and gets information and reports it back to the people that hired him. He can do physical theft too, but is less inclined to do so. More likely to notice something missing than someone standing there in the corner waiting.
Personality
โโโโโโโโโโ
Dameon is crass and blunt and sarcastic, nowhere near a ladies man, and nowhere near a gentleman. He is far too serious, and claims to be too busy for any of that non-sense, there is money to be made.
Why would Captain Kingsford contact them?
โโโโโโโโโโ
They didn't. Mr Brown was on assignment when he intercepted an invitation from the real Mr Dameon Brown. It didn't completely add up, so he kept it and decided to make an appearance to see what it was all about.
Preferred Weapon
โโโโโโโโโโ
If I have to kill a man I'd prefer to do it with my own two hands, something quiet and discreet. A knife works well, a Garrote if there's time and nobody else around. Of course if I can bring a man down without killing him I'd rather do that. Submission holds and other forms of incapacitation are his go to if there is time for it.
Preferred Method of confrontation
โโโโโโโโโโ
One-sided. If he has to fight someone to achieve his task, he would much rather do it without his opponent knowing they were in a fight until it was too late.
Biography
โโโโโโโโโโ
The Real Mr Brown is somewhat of a merchant specializing in acquiring certain items that may or may not be of certain legal statuses... okay, he's a high profile smuggler and drug dealer. What the honorable captain wanted with him is anybody's guess and why he decided to take the invitation and go in his place.
The person before you is not the real Mr. Brown, but nobody in the room really knows that for sure. At least, not yet... he hopes. The person masquerading as Mr Brown is actually David Wheaton. Born as a poor orphan he too soon learned the hardships of life, and too soon found a use for his gift. Dropping out of the provisional schooling that Hourglass city offers to those of his status, he enrolled in the school of hard knocks and earned a degree in Street Smarts, putting his gift to good use making a name for himself by not making a name for himself.
He has a friend from the Orphanage, John Laird, who acts as his Agent and fencer/delivery boy, but if he ever talks about him, he'll almost always be referred to as Jay.

Other
โโโโโโโโโโ
Mr Brown doesn't know if his gift is working, he only knows when it doesn't work.
