Alan Key
Artificer (Battle Smith flavor with custom infusions and tinker abilities)
Alan Key
Species
Half-Orc
Appearance
A heavyset half-orc whose presence smells faintly of coal and oil; his shoulders are broad from hammering bellows and hauling ingots but his left sleeve ends in a polished mechanized gauntlet lined with brass gears and thin scorch marks. He moves with the slow, purposeful gait of someone who measures force like a smith measures heat; yet when a problem arises his motions become brisk and precise like a watchmaker. His right eye is an optic arc lens of hammered glass and burnished iron with tiny runes etched into the rim that catch the light and flare when he focuses. Unexpectedly, despite a face carved from rough stone and a handlebar moustache so wide it hides his top lip, his voice carries a soft, surprising laugh that undercuts his intimidating look.
“Gruff, measured; uses clipped technical terms in heated moments and softens when reminiscing.”
