Character Notes for Trick Lighter.



Notes For Trick Lighter - (Billandrea Mirkan Grabenfuller)
Gnomish Mecha Tech and Pilot.
Home: Wedgeria. Next town: Jade. Closest Outpost: Theta-SoJourn.

Clothes are meant to be worn.. but the right clothes fit the right task.. Her jumpsuits have the pockets and webbing to hold the tools she needs.. and her medieval Desert Attire lets her blend in up above while being comfy..
She's always been appalled that Snow could run around half naked and not notice.. Snow's gotten her to swim with her in the buff before in the secluded pool, but years ago before Snow got so pretty and Trick got so self-conscious in response..
Now owns an intelligent strip of amethyst that wraps it's self about her as a garment.. by the name of Eveilanar, or Eve/Evie for short. Life is interesting once again.. She wears grey cargo pants, profuse with pockets, several belts and pouches, and a small blue vest, also be-pocketed...

Alcohol is a Priveledge. And Gnomes are Very Priveledged beasties... :) More confident in her metabolism than she should be. Enjoys it immensely though. "Alansar's Hangover sovergn"= Breakfast of Champions..(dark reddish liquid, smells strongly of mint, tastes strongly of vinegar, Fixes a hangover right up though!)

Upgrade Plans:

Dual melee weapons w/ Magic Thingies.
Melee #1: Effective vs. Robotic Mechs
~Serious Physical Damage, curved blade, serrated on lower third, notched back (sort of like flames..) Enchanted with Electricity, and set with "acid charges" and runnels treated to protect the blade from the acid and to channel it into the wound left in another mech... To Eat all the inner systems from behind the armor of course..
Melee #2: Effective vs. Bio Organic Mechs
~Get someone to cast Brilliant Energy Weapon?

Systems to Fine Tune:
Bio Feedback Interface system - Talk to Raven, he's got a good set up, plus the bio chem knowledge I don't have.. a couple batches of cookies should work(have Snow make them, buy materials for her)

- People -

The Hornberries Youth League..
Group Head/Figurehead:
Heaven's Blade. His Mecha has a large Energy Blade (very illegal) which is the source of his name.. Heaven's Blade is a ruggedly handsome young Gnome, Golden blonde hair, Brilliant green eyes and a steady gaze. [Cha 15-17] He has an Athlete's build, which sets off his rugged good looks well. [Com 16] He deals with most of the day to day business of the Youth League. He prefers Medieval garb, has a "good-natured Swordsman" motif going of late, in Grey, White and Soft Blue.
~Research shows that he holds Masters in Mechanical Engineering and is on the cutting edge of blending magic and science. Possesses illegal tech and has probably several modifications on his mech that he doesn't hold the proper lisences for, including Anti-EMP.

Trick Lighter says: An interesting guy, too busy to have gotten to know too well. He is undeniably one of the best mecha pilots around, a little too famous to feel comfortable around though, despite his open smile and pretty face.

Members in Good Standing:
Falcon. Possesses a very hawkish nose (likely the reason for his name) and piercing blue eyes, a young Gnome he has early Greyed hair with swaths of White throughout.. [Com 10-11] Dresses in Grey and White tones.. Very charismatic and good at getting people to see things his way. [Cha 20] He is obsessed with the Handling and Initiative faculties of mech, along with other technical issues of movement.
~Research shows that he holds a Doctorate in Engineering and Physics. Also owns tech he shouldn't, including military grade materials.

Trick Lighter says: So much to learn, so little time.. A brotherly fellow, a litte bit of a damper at a party, but the only one I know who can get as wrapped up in his projects as I can..

Raven. Lanky Black locks of hair hang over his face, obscuring his eyes, which seem to be light in color. He possesses a slim build and a slow smile, his pale complection completing the image of a temperate technition who doesn't spend enough time in the sun. [Com 14] He is secretive about much of his work but widely known as a leader in the field of mecha weaponry, unofficially of course. [Cha 12] He owns and frequently wears a Pristinely clean Black Trench Coat, over black pants and shirt..
~Research shows that he holds a Doctorate in Organic and Biochemistry. He has developed several weapons, some of which he's sold to the military. He most Definitely owns military-grade arms and an unmistakable Raven Icon can be found on old documents of weaponry older than he is.

Trick Lighter says: As much as I am attracted to After Burn's flair, there's something about Raven that sucks you in.. his calm quiet.. almost like he's watching you from behind his fall of black hair, waiting for you to come by, Willing you to peer into his world and see him for who he really is, not who everyone else takes him for.. That black trench is like a wall though.. keeping people out.. I can't help but think it's not meant to keep Everyone away..
Snow got Raven to show his eyes for me.. They're a Gorgeous deep cat Green.. Mmm.. I bet he's a romantic at heart too.. such soulful eyes he has..
Tricky Raven, very tricky, building Storm Crow and pitting him in the same tourney as Sunny without mentioning it.. but I found you out, and now I have your boots, so Ha! You're a good dancer though, so I'll forgive you...

Hellfire. Twin red braids fall over his well-muscled shoulders and his flashing blue eyes bore into you with his enthusiasm. [Cha 14] He has a body builder's physique [Com 13] and is almost addicted to physical excercise.. he teaches Weapons' use, both melee and long range, for the Hornberries. He carries a Sword and Blaster on all times, and dresses in highly decorated red and yellows. His Mecha is a beast of a Red machine, detailed in Yellow bearing an equally impressive Mecha Blade.

Trick Lighter says: So much Energy! I've never been so tired in all my life as when I was taking classes from him.. I think he has a lot to teach though, and he suggests such logical things.. I should try to get some more training sessions in..

Trick Lighter. Short mid-brown curls are often twisted into small wraps on either side of her head, paired with bright Hazel eyes she is the tantamount 'cute girl in shop class'[Com 15] She is however, more interested in her engine than you.. Unless of course your engine is better than hers and she wants a look at yours. Her easy laugh and broad smile swing into a grimace when things don't go her way or when she is faced with unavoidable idiocy. [Cha 15] Undeniably obsessed with machinery and the building of things, she has considerable skill yet not the refinement the others have achieved. In the shop she is most often seen in a close fitting Brown and Tan jumpsuit with a small pack, belt and several bands of tools strapped about her. For out of town she prefers a casual Tan, Cream and Red medival ensemble. She also most certainly possesses modifications and weaponry on her mech that she doesn't hold permits for, feeling the sting of her young age working against her, she found the Hornberries Youth League a fertile place for her to experiment.
Here lives proof that wishes Can come true.. No longer her grubby scarred and humdrum self, a well placed wish has done what years of growing up with Snow had convinced her would never happen.. TrickLighter has become prettier than Snow. Her curly mid brown hair has lengthened to reach her ankles in auburn locks, her body is more shapely and refined and the scars from years of working with metal have melted away leaving her skin a radiant and even tan and her now eloquent eyebrows complement the wide and even smile in her perfect face.. [Com 21]

Snow Duster. Soft green eyes and light brown hair the falls to her ankles, Snow Duster is a finely built Gnome who has a cute beauty to her [Com 20]. She loves all things arcane and ofter works with Heaven's Blade on his projects to blend tech and magic. She wears mostly blue, but some purple now and then, but she is forever forgetting to clothe herself, much to her embarrassment around new people. She cannot abide mornings, but becomes reasonably functional once she's had her cocoa. She does own a couple nice dresses, but only wears sensible shoes.

Trick Lighter says: *sighs* Snow Snow Snow.. What AM I going to do with her? I try and I try but I can't seem to keep that girl dressed to save my life.. and she worries about ME at parties! I'm surprised she hasn't been attacked yet, what with all these lonely boys around and her being as pretty as she is.. She means well, and she is a good friend, but she can get so distracted that I worry about her..

Miscellaneous Members

The Bashers of Fire. (Merc Group)
After Burn. Pilot of Black Raider, the most Illegally modified mecha that Trick has seen the inside of. High level Bio-Organic interior with minimal external{black} mechanical components. Ruggedly handsome himself, After Burn has Dark Shoulder length hair and oozes style.. [Com 13-14] His gorgeous blue eyes catch and hold you, frightening at times. His is a strong and forceful personality, used to getting his way and forcing the issue if need be, yet possesses a kindness that proves he's not all rough edges. [Cha 15-16] He tends toward black jumpsuits, but much prefers his odd black leather jacket and pants. (Black Dragon Leather) Enter "The Bad Boy."
Cheats like it's going out of STYLE at cards.. Routinely thrashes pirates, wins all their coin off them, which starts a brawl and then goes through their pockets for anything they might not have wanted to bet..
He picked up a pair of magic dice topside and wished for a golden circlet encrusted with rubies for "his lady friend" and it appeared in his hands and he placed it on my head..

Trick Lighter says: A guy after my own heart.. doesn't take any guff from anyone and keeps his mech in top notch shape.. plus he's a Total Babe... He seems almost scary at times, when he rages at others, like the way he decked that pissant who was bitching about not letting some little girl(me) keep him from going where he wanted to.. well it was for his own damn good! Anyway, After Burn was sweet to stand up for me.. and I like that.. :) I miss seeing him around Theta-SoJourn all the time...
Awesome mech too, Bio Organic.. so sexy.. And he pays in Emeralds too.. *sighs* It's a rough life..



Outpost Theta-SoJourn:
Iron Fist. Blonde and Blue eyed, this middle aged man is sturdily built, the power of his limbs evident and built through long hours bent over anvil and forge. He sports a bulbous nose and a gruff look (aided by his scruffy beard) [Com 8] but he is a cheerful man, happiest when at his work, but loving almost as much a good haggle with a witty client. [Cha 12] His sleeves are shortened to keep them out of the way, as is any excess bulk in his clothes.

Trick Lighter says: Good man, Good smith.. Haggles with the best of them, and gives me an honest price even when he'd rather not.. *grins*

Heather. A 5'5" Human woman, black hair falls over Heather's shoulders and blue eyes peek out from beneath her locks.[Com 12-13] A Priestess of Mohrg (Invention and Dungeoneering?) She wears her crossed hammers holy symbol prouldly over a long black panel skirt with a top cunningly wound from a fine strip of cloth which hangs down over the skirt. (Intelligent, Laura?). A heavy leather work apron is often worn over all and her steely but likeable temperament is echoed in her diligence at the forge. [Cha 18]

Trick Lighter says: "Rescued" her from a pack of Goblins.. though she claimed she was trying to find something out.. Not too bad of a chick.. temper a bit like mine and kills efficiently when need be, I'd have been sunk when I went after those 20 Goblins on my own if I hadn't found her.. I went anyway though!

Tomas. Bar keep at outpost Theta-Sojourn. His hard brown eyes miss little, having observed hundreds of patrons come through the outpost. Most pay this aging Gnome little to no mind, [Com 12] discounting him for the wisps of grey at his temples despite his deceptively strong build. He is greatful for kindness when he is shown it, not easily swayed by it, but will respond in kind. [Cha 12] He spends much of his off time, what little he has, working on refining a special brew of his own, and arguing with Iron Fist about the cost of parts for his still. He wears a loose tan shirt, sleeves tied back and out of the way, as well as a long brown apron to protect it a bit from spillage.. he tells little of his past, but is willing to speak of the present with friendly ears who're likely to help right the wrongs he sees every day.

Trick Lighter says: A bit of a sourpuss, but I think he's just turning to vinegar after all these years.. runs a tight ship and serves a great brew, I wouldn't have him any other way..



The Raven - Fast Strong Ship
Nighthawk - Captain of The Raven, Elf.

Max - Human, black billowy pants and no shirt.. Wizard, does magical Tattoos.. Attractive for a Human.. [Com 18] Roguish brown hair and a penchant for the ladies, not that he does much about it.. (see: Discount) ~ Ask about the Discount.. Early 20's ish

Gera Morhi Normgril Hexbra. "Gera" A Halfling chef of the finest degree.. she makes something very tastey called Potato Salad among other things..
Leronia. An Elf maiden who also works on The Raven.. she and Snow chatted for some time and she sports several of Max's famed tattoos..
Ink. "Ian" - Gnome, Sandy Blonde hair, and a torso full of tattoos, not too bad a looker [Com 15] worked as a Janitor in Droid Mechina.. Stole a Very Experimental Plasma Rifle and has been on the run ever since.. Poor bloke's lucky he hasn't shot his leg off with it..
