Master Thrummibold Glimmergear
Species
Rock Gnome
Appearance
Thrum is a compact figure of shimmering copper and soot. He stands at a height that barely reaches a tall man's waist, yet his presence is imposing. His skin is stained with permanent grease swirls that look like tribal tattoos, and his hair is a wild, frizzy halo of white and charcoal, constantly shedding copper shavings like metallic dandruff. He moves with a series of jerky, clicking motions as if his joints were governed by hidden gears. Most strikingly, while his face and clothes are a mess of industrial grime, his hands are impossibly clean, soft, and delicate, suggesting he uses magical protection for his precision work. He perpetually carries the scent of ozone, burnt coffee, and hot pine tar.
“His speech is rapid and filled with technical jargon. He often starts a sentence, stops midway to calculate something in his head, and then continues as if no time had passed.”

A thick, multi-layered leather smithing apron over a singed canvas tunic. The apron features dozens of custom-sewn pockets holding calipers, wrenches, and vials of various viscosities of oil. He wears heavy brass-toed boots that clank on the floorboards.
Body Language
Thrum hunches his shoulders and keeps his chin tucked, except when looking at machinery, at which point he stands tall and uses expansive, sweeping hand gestures.
