Artificer (Armorer)
Captain Maximillian Sterling
Species
Triton
Appearance
Sterling is a specimen of maritime military precision. His cerulean skin is etched with silver-white scale patterns that shimmer under the magical lanterns of his shop. He carries a barrel-chested frame with the stiff posture of a career officer. Most striking is his left leg, replaced from the knee down with a heavy brass-and-clockwork prosthetic that hisses softly with steam whenever he pivots. He wears a monocle that is actually a sophisticated lens of detection, constantly clicking as it shifts focus. Despite his gruff naval exterior, he smells unexpectedly like lavender and old parchment rather than brine.
“Formal and punctuated by nautical terminology. He speaks with a resonance that suggests his voice is designed to carry through water.”

Clockwork brass prosthetic left leg
Glowing amber eyes that pulse when he is angry
A series of ritualistic bioluminescent tattoos on his forearms
A finely groomed beard woven with copper wire and tiny pearls
Voice
“Deep, gravelly, and echoing, like stones grinding together at the bottom of a well.”
Clothing
A deep navy-blue captain's coat with tarnished gold braid, worn over a heavy leather artisan's apron stained with oil and saltwater. He keeps a pressurized hydration suit beneath his coat to remain comfortable in surface air.
Body Language
Stiff and formal, he often stands with hands clasped behind his back. When excited by technology, his amber eyes flare and he leans in uncomfortably close.
