Day 1: Andren

Not sure what his last name is, but I don’t think it matters much. He’s a former mage that got kicked out of his school for starting one too many fights, due to his irritable nature, and the fact that he curses like a sailor (and uses several made up terms that sound like ones an angry grandmother would use, such as grangfabbling or crochetsuggin). Absolutely riddled with scars, he lives just outside a mountain village, buying food and mechanical parts in exchange for the herbs he gathers, potions he makes, or using his somewhat basic knowledge of magic to fix things.

He’s the son of a blacksmith or engineer, I think, and so he knows more about machines than actual magic. Using his prior knowledge, he uses the mechanical parts he trades to make awful inventions, in a vague hope of winning a contest at the village, as to regain a bit of honor from being kicked out of school and basically branded an idiot. His constant anger at everything makes it very hard for him to find any other source of income.

He lives in a small cottage, studying books he barters from travelers, and working on whatever terrible invention he’s started. Often forgetting to eat and to at least brush his hair (though he’s a bit of a hoarder and likely has 30 combs and brushes) he is aided by his faithful, somewhat broken, cyborg companion, Tofekki Totokki. She makes him horrid porridge (her previous “captain” had terrible taste in food) and brushes his hair. She is probably one of the only people he genuinely likes, albeit secretly.

…annnnnd that’s all for Andren! See y’all tomorrow!
