Bravak Metal-Vane
Species
Half-Dragon, Silver Draconic Ancestry
Appearance
Bravak is a broad-shouldered half-dragon with polished silver scales dulled by a permanent veil of soot around the snout, knuckles, and collar. His jaw is heavy and slightly too long for a human face, giving his rare smiles the look of a forge door opening. Small blunt teeth show whenever he eats, and he chews with deliberate care, as if judging the meal for structural weakness. His pale eyes rarely rest on faces. They move instead to hinges, ceiling braces, rivets, floor seams, and the nearest load-bearing wall. His movements are measured and economical, but when a machine fails he becomes startlingly quick, crossing a gantry with the sure-footed speed of a hunting cat. The contradictory impression is immediate: he looks built to break doors, yet handles delicate calipers, glass ampoules, and injured workers with exquisite gentleness.
“Measured and low, with a faint metallic resonance beneath each word. He pauses before technical nouns, as if selecting the exact tool for the sentence.”

Distinguishing Features
A thin ridge of silver scales runs from his lower lip to the point of his chin, making his jaw seem carved from hammered metal.
His teeth are square and blunt, and he tests food by tapping it once against a molar before eating.
He carries three inspection ledgers, but one is filled with sketches of birds, clouds, and glider silhouettes rather than engineering notes.
His eyes continually examine structures instead of faces, making even ordinary conversation feel like an unannounced safety audit.
The polished plates on his armor bear hundreds of tiny hand-etched numbers, each marking a worker he once saved or a failure he could not prevent.
Voice
“A deep, controlled baritone with a soft rasp, like metal cooling after the hammer stops. When he laughs, the sound arrives suddenly and warmly, followed by a faint clicking of blunt teeth.”
Clothing
A heavy leather smithing apron hangs over dark plate mail fitted with copper expansion seams. The apron is patched with pale alloy plates, each marked with a date and inspection code. He wears reinforced boots with magnetic soles, a soot-dark scarf, a brass calipers gauge at his belt, and an engraved inspection seal on a chain around his neck.
Body Language
He keeps one hand near his brass calipers and the other loosely closed, as though holding an invisible tool. During conversation, he angles his body toward the nearest support column. When someone lies, his eyes drop to their boots, then track upward along their balance and breathing before he answers.
