Appearance: He's a green-skinned, four foot tall, ugly piece of work. His limbs are a bit thinner than the usual goblin's, though.
Personality: Deks thinks of the other goblins as simple things, the only things about them that are noteworthy are the actions they take. Otherwise, he simply disregards anything and everything about his peers. Sure, he may act civil, if he feels like it, but he truly doesn't care about his fellow goblins. He has made an entertaining "what-if game" for himself, where he randomly chooses a goblin and thinks about how they'd react to different things. Sometimes it is "what if that goblin fought someone," or maybe it is "what if that goblin got lost in the forest."
He usually spends his time with the "what-if game," but when he is not doing that, he is making simple contraptions that serve no purpose. Maybe he will put a board on a log to make a see-saw, or make a pulley with a tree branch and a rope. Doing so little else, though, has made him "socially-inept.
Past Life History: Dexter was a scientist, and a rather well known one at that. Sure, he was no Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison, but he had a noteworthy resume filled with his designs. His childhood was spent mostly in the low-class part of a somewhat large town, where he would try to get simple pieces of machinery from whatever may be laying around. When he went to college, he took classes on mechanics, data sciences, robotics, and other such subjects. His best invention, once he graduated college and got hired, was a machine called the IDTM, or the Instantaneous Data Transfer Machine. The machine transported information faster than anything else, which helped simplify the process of obtaining information from space. With the money made from NASA, who had bought his invention, he was able to live out the rest of his life comfortably doing what he loved.
Gift: As mentioned in the personality category, Deks has an inclination to invent things. He can only invent things using concepts he understands and has seen. When he sees new technology, so long as it is not too advanced for him, he can understand and apply the concepts the machine utilizes. Of course, this skill is extremely limited at the beginning, due to limited exposure to technology.
@Holy Grail Perhaps a gift that makes your character able to pick up and create styles of magic more easily? I hope I am not misinterpreting the system here, but if magic is a research, or field of study, then the gift would make the research easier and the application similar to how scientists invent new kinds of machines using science. Honestly, this is mostly just what my gift is, only with magic.
I hope you don't mind, but magic affinities seem to be more depending on how well the character understands the concepts rather than anything to do with the magic itself, as the magic only gives a medium to apply the understanding. I just think it would be difficult to truly make a gift for something that is already available to everybody without breaking the rules of magic.
