[CommanderQ]

[CommanderQ]

Awesomeness!! Then here's a sketch, I hope it follows the guidelines

 

Also....this quote business is quite awesome, I hope you don't mind if I follow suite

 

 

Technology is a queer thing...it brings you gifts with one hand...and stabs you in the back with the other! -CP Snow

 

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation...tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.. -Jean Arp

 

 

Name: Wolfgang Doppelganger

 

Gender: Male

 

Age: 27

 

Race: Human (though to his extent of technological experimentation, even that is doubtful! )

 

Occupation: An odd combination of mad inventor, adventurer, and somehow, Russian Nesting Doll maker

 

Appearance: He stands at 6 ft, 4 inches. Weighs 220 Ibs, has black hair with a strange shade of gray. Blue eyes with pale skin. He wears a battle dress that is equipped with a number of strange gadgets (random things ranging from a clock to a faulty flying device). He also enjoys wearing a tech mask he built himself. With the darkly colored battle dress he wears an overcoat, which is due not to practicality but an odd obsession with leather jackets. He carries with him two heavily modified revolvers, both with almost too many add-ons to fit in a holster.

 

Attributes: He is by far one of the greatest geniuses in the art of technology, having an excellent understanding of the Steam Engine. He has experimented with so many things, it was impossible for the prominent League of Inventors to keep track of them all (if you look at a copy of the League's top contributors, you'll find 'Wolfy Doppelganger' stamped as a permanent holder of the greatest contributor...much to their chagrin). Other then this, he is quite clever and a lover of literary arts, despite his.....insanity.

 

Personality: Wolfgang is a loud, extremely talkative, bear of a man. He is constantly trying to think of something new to build (or destroy), along with being extremely unpredictable. His insanity betrays his nicer side, and beneath all the whirring wheels and maddening rants, he genuinely cares for other people. He's not very good at communicating that though...

 

Background: Originally born Franz Josef Amadeus Colditz, Wolfgang's wealthy family always knew he was bound for something out of the ordinary. By the age of seven, he had successfully built and powered a two-seater ornithopter (which he promptly crashed) and was already a legend in his homeland for the feats he continued to achieve. By the age of 12 he was accepted as the youngest member of the Leage of Inventors, which ultimately encouraged the boy...to an extreme extent. After a single year in the League, something snapped, and Franz Josef Amadeus Colditz declared himself independent and left to see the world...but not before choosing to change his name to the unfortunate 'Wolfgang Doppelganger.'

 

For the next part of his life he became a mercenary inventor, building, selling, and ultimately manning technologies for a large amount of nations. In addition, he also took up the odd profession of building Russian Nesting Dolls, which is both his favorite hobby....and most legal export. He was at a high time of his life.

 

But this period abruptly ended when one of his flying machines crashed into the lead battleship of one of the many armies that hired him. The plane was carrying a bomb load of advanced explosives which killed all of the High-Ranking officers leading the invasion force. The nation declared war on Doppelganger alone, his only response being "I told you that two engines were required...and optionally a cup of tea...unless....oh nevermind."

 

Wolfgang currently wanders the land looking for a job and causing mayhem (not intended of course) everywhere he goes.

Tysy, if I wait until I have my character sheet completely ready, I may never post. Are you at all opposed to me just jumping in now and posting my character sheet later?

[Tysyacha]

Not at all...especially if you do something about Yery still being dead...

[Writer]

And what, may I ask, can someone with only very limited clairsentience do about that?

 

Never fear, my dear! I has an idea!

[Ctrl Alt Del]

So yeah, I was intending on my last post to go and ressurrect Yeri after someone told me where could I found her body, but Writer over there might have some different plans so I'm kind of confused, hehe.

[Writer]

Who, me? *checks thread* Whoops! Completely missed your post, there. Sorry! I'd been working on mine for a couple of days. You must have posted in between

 

Well, there's no reason we can't have it both ways. I'll edit my post slightly so it has Gavin objecting that he probably doesn't have time to go get the healer. Then, your character can show up conveniently and bring Yery back.

 

And as for where her body is, I have her placed not far from the tunnel's exit from the mountain.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Works for me.
