Jerick Copperhand
#b87333

Gender : Male
Species : Gnome
Homeworld : Eberron
Age : Unknown
Profession : Tinkerer/Artificer

Physical Description : Jerick is a gnome of average build and height with wild gray hair with white streaks and a well-kept short beard. He has blue eyes that almost radiate with an unending curiosity for everything around him. But, his most distinguishing feature is that of his right hand, or lack of such. He has replaced it with a prosthetic hand made almost entirely of copper. His right arm is also almost always heavily wrapped in bandages and cloth.

Personality : Jerick is a very strange gnome. He seems to be perpetually joyful, even under the most dreadful circumstances. He is also utterly fearless, to the point that some others would mistake it for foolishness or even outright insanity. He is almost always working on something, whether it be a potion that can shrink a giant to the size of a copper piece, or a toy soldier that blows up with the force of 13 buildings falling.

Skills, Abilities, and Gear : Jerick is a master craftsman, having learned numerous different trades over the years, including smithing, carpentry, alchemy, and scribing. He has also learned a few spells, most of which he uses to streamline the process of crafting. He carries countless potions, scrolls, and mechanisms that have various uses and sometimes no use at all. He also carries a repeating crossbow he designed and built himself, along with a small dagger that can automatically cover its blade it acid, or send an electric current up its blade, or even set its blade on fire. He also wears a set of studded leather cured in a special formula to make it as hard as steel. And, of course, his copper hand which has a variety of tools built into it to assist with his tinkering and sometimes combat.

Backstory : Most of Jerick's early and mid-life is unknown, even to himself. All anyone knows is that he spent a lot of his life traveling, learning new things, and using and innovating those things. After many decades of learning new things, he found himself at a college of artifice in Starilaskur and a magical storm cloud was drifting in from the Mournland. Jerick, seeing an opportunity that could power the college's experiments for months, he started building a lightning rod specifically made to contain the magical lightning of the cloud. When he was done, he rushed to the roof, and set it up. Seeing that the cloud was starting to dissipate, he hastily activated it, but he was not far enough away when the lightning struck, and in a blinding flash, he was gone. When he reappeared, he was laying on the floor, looking up at the hole in the ceiling.
