Emillion Out Of Character

Hi all! New player here - I go by Macey, I found this place via Sherri and Maaya - introducing my first character.

Nate (Nathaniel Porter) is a 19-year-old machinist with the thieves' guild. He grew up in a fairly poor family in the docks area, working as a blacksmith's apprentice under his uncle from the age of 8. He was conscripted into the Wilde syndicate (and thus the guild) at age 11, and studied under various machinists, moving to live with one of them at 16. Unfortunately, he got rather friendlier with his most recent master's daughter than the girl's father liked, so he's currently out of a home (and, more importantly to him, a workshop).

Nate has a bunch of cool devices he designs, makes and sells, including his weapons of choice, grenades filled with various powders and potions. He's been supplying thebettingsort with exploding dice and various other thingamabobs for a handful of years. (For a detailed list, see his info sheet, banner courtesy of Sherri. Yes, he will sell you things once he has somewhere to work, but they take a while to make and if you want anything new inventing, we should chat with the mods.)

Nate is looking for a place to live, smart people to confound him, strong people to beat him up convince him to take combat more seriously, mayhem, adventure and general growth opportunities. He needs Wise Mentor Figures but won't take kindly to them. He also has a lot of distrust, particularly for people within the Thieves' Guild, and it might be fun to show him that there are genuinely good people there - or to play down to his expectations.
