Kaelen Meridian
Chrono-Artificer (custom Artificer archetype)
Kaelen Meridian
Species
Warforged fused with planar clockwork
Appearance
Kaelen stands 6 feet 4 inches tall with a humanoid silhouette of brass, brushed silver, and faceted crystal. His chest is dominated by a twelve-inch ornate chronometer with a dozen hands moving in separate rhythms; around the clock's rim faint runes pulse blue-white. Translucent crystalline panels at his forearms and thighs reveal nested gears, flowing filaments of temporal light, and tiny rotating time-crystals. His face is a polished bronze mask, smooth and reflective, with two deep sapphire orbs for eyes that flicker through shades of blue when he thinks. When he speaks his voice comes as low modulated vibrations layered with the soft click of gears. Contradictory element: though largely mechanical, he wears a frayed silk scarf that seems almost human in the way it drifts and settles, often collecting dust and scent from distant places he once visited.
“Speaks in calm, measured sentences; words are precise and often framed as probabilities. When excited his voice gains a soft mechanical undertone and his eyes flash.”

Clothing
A dark leather duster reinforced with copper plating and articulated shoulder pieces. Interior lined with woven probability-dampening mesh. A bandolier holds vials of dimly glowing time-crystal fragments and a belt contains tools that blink between existence. A frayed silk scarf and a pocket watch of unknown origin hang from his waist.
Body Language
Kaelen moves with precise, measured steps. Small gears whisper in his joints. When thinking he tilts his head like a human, and his chest-clock rotates to a brighter glow. He often extends a finger and points as if aligning invisible hands when explaining complex ideas.
