Korwin comes from a long line of blacksmiths... four generations of them.  While he has had little call for weapon making these last few years, he is always hopeful that his family's true-calling will be realized once again.  Korwin is also known as the 'signing blacksmith'.  He maintains that his singing (bad though it is) makes the steel stronger when he's shaping it.

backstory to come...

Haven't made a character that only took up a page in a while

Very nice, I can feel the recovery already... Alignment?

As a reward for your simplicity, you were drunk one night getting ready to burn a cool looking bunny rabbit onto your arm when you saw a gypsy wagon. You were about to rob him when he offered to give you a free magic tatoo instead. It gives you +1 strength. If you find him again you can add to the tatoo, he said. You are sure it works but no one believes you that it is magic.

sweeettt. Thank you Mr. GM!

Alignment and such are updated.

The gypsy said that the tatoo magic is in a mix of the ink that includes crystaline powder and also the design that creates a certain relationship and motion of your magnetic field.
When you crossed your eyes and scratched your head, he then said "tattoo make big magic strong!"

Assuming for the moment that such a 'profession' is available... Granish is a prize fighter and student of martial arts in general. He has always had the ability to anticipate what most opponents will do, so he is often the victor in his contests. When he wins, he usually splits the money in half: 1/2 to the local orphanage (where he was raised) and the other half to booze and loose women.

He will often play dumb so that people will underestimate him.

There is a mission between Starfel and Black Rock. You were raised there. Nobody knows what an orc is for you to be half of one. They just figure you're a retarded orphan. In Aris/Tyne you are an upcomer in a semi-civilized MMA. You live in Starfel because nobody stares at you here.

is this just a town of humans?

that'll make Josh's roleplaying easy

Its mostly humans. There are other minorities, but people don't believe in "monsters."

hmm... I wonder how gnome garnished with dog tastes?? ... yummy I'd guess.

bring it, tusk-face

pfft. wouldn't take much, ya scrawny rat

Just so Alan (and Chris I guess) see this... this useless sack is going away tonight in lieu of something potentially more interesting.

and yes, I'm going to use Traits and everything else I can to crunch... so nyah

Jeez...

I wasn't trying to be mean... just don't like the character.

...and I'm a cruncher... I'm not going to apologize for it

Go ahead... You were doing so well...

uh... doing well at what?

You had a nice blank canvas on which to build.

blank canvas... right

... you're too funny dude

I'm just going with this guy, I can't think of anything else to play with this starting rubric. Other character ideas are dependent on other factors. IoW they have to be 'crunched' ...can't have that can we?

Ok. Go back to the game and make your perception check.

already did

...take your turn on WoD.

New guy is posted.

Along with the smithing trade, Korwin's family has passed down, (and improved on), a manual of collected metalurgical and geological knowledge and applied science.  This is kept as a journal and manual.  It is prized above his tools and weapons. (Knowledge geology / metalurgy is class skill for him. He also gains an equivalent to "stonecunning", BUT it applies ONLY to metals).

 One of his weapons is a family heirloom as well. It is masterwork quality.  It has a dull purple stone embossed in the hilt.

 Singing DOES, in fact, improve Korwin's focus when concentrating on applied tasks.  When singing, he may take 11 instead of taking 10.  (This one goes to eleven).

Awesome! I will update accordingly.
