Level 8·Male·Tiny
Lawful Neutral

Species

Lizardfolk (unusually tiny for his kind, treated as a unique sub-variant)

Appearance

A tiny lizardfolk whose scales form a worn mosaic of blues and soot-stained copper; he moves with the slow precision of someone who measures everything twice before doing it once. His left forearm is an intricately jointed brass prosthetic threaded with glass tubing that pulses faintly with contained aether. He favors leaning on a carved stilt-walking cane when walking across uneven ground, but in water his gait becomes fluid and unexpectedly quick. Contradiction: his eyes betray a childlike curiosity that brightens his whole face even as his posture and dress suggest formal, methodical restraint.

Height3 feet tall when upright; often appears shorter when hunched

SkinScaled mosaic of soot-blue and tarnished copper

Carefully enunciated with a sibilant undertone; uses technical metaphors and asks many clarifying questions. Despite being elderly, his voice carries a crisp, reedy clarity.”

Distinguishing Features

Brass prosthetic forearm with visible glass aether tubes

Tiny glass vial necklace that glows faintly in moonlight

A patchwork of soot and blue scale patterns like an old map

Voice

Reedy and precise; each word clipped like a gear engaging; laughter sounds like a small bell

Clothing

A patched leather jerkin studded with tiny pockets and loops for tools, a neckcloth woven with sigils of preservation, and fingerless gloves stained with oil and alchemical residue. He wears a chain of tiny glass vials around his neck that clink softly as he walks.

Body Language

Small, deliberate gestures like a clockmaker; fingers constantly roll and tap as if counting invisible gears; when excited he drums a staccato on nearby surfaces
