Korr Slag-Grip
Species
Tectonic Forged, Foundry-Tempered
Appearance
Korr Slag-Grip is a compact, broad-shouldered tectonic forged whose heavy basalt plating has been fitted with overlapping iron rivets, each one polished bright by years of contact with oilcloth. His scorched forearms show bands of dark heat discoloration beneath removable maintenance guards. He moves with deliberate mechanical economy, never wasting a step, yet his hands are surprisingly gentle when handling delicate gauges or living creatures. The unexpected softness is in his silhouette: a thin chain of tiny brass prayer-bells hangs beneath his collar, chiming faintly whenever he turns his head. He smells of hot metal, mineral oil, and bitter coffee grounds. Before speaking, he draws in a slow breath through a narrow vent beneath his jaw, as if allowing a machine to reach operating temperature.
“Low, resonant, and carefully paced, with a soft grinding undertone. He takes a measured breath before speaking and often counts under his breath when considering a dangerous answer.”

Distinguishing Features
A chain of tiny brass prayer-bells hangs beneath his collar and gives a delicate chime when he moves.
His jaw vent draws in a slow audible breath before he speaks.
Every tool on his belts is marked with a small colored notch indicating its last inspection date.
His left shoulder plate bears dozens of tiny punched marks, one for every worker he has personally escorted out of a failed shaft.
The soles of his boots leave faint warm prints on cold stone for several seconds.
Voice
“A low furnace-hum with a careful pause before every sentence, as though each word must pass inspection.”
Clothing
A soot-darkened leather engineer's apron hangs over his integrated armor, patched with mismatched squares of fireproof hide. His tool belts are overfull and carefully ordered, with calipers, pressure wrenches, ceramic chalk, brass picks, and folded maintenance diagrams. One faded blue scarf is wrapped around his neck despite the heat, repaired so many times that its original fabric is barely visible.
Body Language
Korr stands squarely, with his weight distributed like a braced support column. He tilts his head toward machinery rather than people when thinking, taps two fingers against his breastplate while calculating, and angles his body between danger and any worker he considers under his protection. When embarrassed, he tightens the straps of his tool belts in sequence.
