Appearance
Pomme is a small male rock gnome with warm copper-brown skin, a round face, bright green eyes, and thick russet hair swept into a carefully combed crest. His large hands are permanently stained with blue-black ink, especially around the fingertips and beneath the nails, from years of copying spell diagrams. A battered brass magnifying lens hangs from his neck, its leather cord polished smooth where his thumb repeatedly rubs it. He wears layered scholar's robes patched at the elbows, a belt crowded with chalk, quills, folded notes, and tiny clockwork components.
Mannerisms
Pomme speaks in precise, carefully structured sentences, often pausing to visualize an invisible diagram before answering. When nervous, he taps the brass magnifying lens at his chest three times and silently mouths the first syllable of a spell.
Personality
Pomme is meticulous, earnest, and endlessly inquisitive. He is easily delighted by obscure facts, mechanical puzzles, and elegant magical solutions. He tries to appear composed, but his excitement frequently makes him talk too quickly and gesture with whatever object is nearest to hand.
Ideals
Knowledge should be preserved, questioned, and shared. A secret that cannot survive honest examination is probably dangerous.
Bonds
The missing pages from the observatory's oldest spellbook are part of Pomme's family history, and he will risk almost anything to recover them.
Flaws
Pomme cannot resist correcting an inaccurate quotation, even when doing so is tactically disastrous. He also overestimates the usefulness of preparation and underestimates the danger of acting too slowly.
Quirks
Background
Pomme Crumblewick was raised in a Rock Gnome enclave built around an abandoned observatory. While other young gnomes dismantled astrolabes and rebuilt them into singing kettles, Pomme preferred to copy the observatory's ruined spellbooks. His hands became stained with ink, his posture became permanently hunched over desks, and his curiosity grew larger than his courage. He eventually discovered that several pages in the observatory's oldest volume had been deliberately removed, leaving behind references to a vanished wizard who had attempted to map the boundary between memory and magic. Pomme entered formal wizardly study under a severe but patient archivist, who taught him that a spell is not merely power, but an argument written in symbols. His talent is real, though inconsistent, and his weak constitution makes every casting physically exhausting. He has recently left the archive to find the missing pages and determine whether the vanished wizard was a brilliant pioneer or a dangerous fool. Pomme hopes to recover the truth before someone less careful finds it first.
