Species
Fire Genasi
Appearance
Basil Flintlock is a lean, long-limbed fire genasi who looks as if he was forged rather than born. His skin glows like banked coals under a thin veneer of ash, and faint ember-lines pulse beneath it when he is excited. He wears a soot-dark apron over immaculate, high-collared tailoring, a contradictory combination of furnace grime and aristocratic vanity. His hands are scarred, delicate, and steady, with fingertips permanently stained copper-red from metal salts. When he walks, he moves with a jeweler's caution and a duelist's swagger, every step measured as though he is always circling an invisible workbench.
“Measured and precise, with a warm smoky rasp. He tends to speak like a craftsman writing specifications, but his voice softens when discussing beauty, grief, or old promises.”

Distinguishing Features
A brass arcane firearm etched with tiny, shifting murals of furnaces and birds.
One ear tipped by a burn scar that looks like it was intentionally shaped.
A silver ring welded shut around one finger as a vow of apprenticeship.
A faint smell of cinnamon smoke that clings to him even after bathing.
Voice
“Low, smoky, and controlled, with rare bursts of bright enthusiasm when talking about craftsmanship.”
Clothing
A charcoal leather apron over a fitted burgundy coat with copper buttons, flameproof gloves hanging from his belt, and polished boots whose toes are scuffed from workshop accidents. He wears a cracked bronze monocle on a chain that he uses only when judging fine engraving.
Body Language
He keeps his shoulders squared and his elbows close, like a smith protecting a fragile piece from the crowd. In conversation he gestures with two fingers as if measuring a blade edge. When thinking, he rubs soot between thumb and forefinger, then flicks it away with a tiny burst of heat.
