or, "hi, I'm Kajata and I'm an Alchemical addict".
Basically, I love the theory and ideas behind alchems, but whenever I try and build one, I come out with something that doesn't seem to be very good at... well... anything! Â So, I figure that this time I'll put forth my character concept on the forums and ask for some help from my esteemed forum buddies!
The Unceasing Hammer of Industry
(This name seems overly likely to have already been taken by something somewhere...)
Unceasing Hammer of Industry, a jade caste Alchemical exalt, strives to be the paragon, not only of the work force, but the paragon of what he believes a Jade caste alchemical should be; hard working, strong, tough, a leader of the people. Â He believes that duty comes first, and, whilst he does socialise with the populat as well as the theomacracy, he views all social interaction in excess of what is necessary to get the job done as a flaw; one that is to be expected in humans, other Alchemical exalted, and, from time to time, in himself.
Whilst Hammer strives to be a paragon of industry, he is not always successful, and, whilst he berates himself over these failures, he acknowledges that he is not a perfect machine, unlike Autochthon, and the most that can be expected of him is to make every effort to rectify his flaws.
Ideologically, Hammer puts great stock in the idea that, unified, the people can do anything, and has come to be known as one of the few Alchemical exalts who favour the company of the populat and even the lumpen over that of even the upper echelons of the Theomacracy, although he would never admit to such. Â As for his religious beliefs, Hammer tries to keep things simple. Â When a conflict of beliefs arises, he comes to his own conclusion about what seems logical, and moves on, constructing a personal belief via a combination of all the theologies he has heard of and what would seem to make sense to himself. Â As he encounters new ideas, he tries to work them into his belief system, if he sees the wisdom behind them. Â Hammer is by no means a great thinker, nor is he stupid, and he realises he is somewhere in-between. Â However, his great size and propensity for manual labour, in combination with his casual and almost bumbling manner, has a great many people thinking he is a great deal less intelligent than he is.
Hammer leads a workgroup who deal with heavy construction of machinery. Â Whilst he knows how to erect buildings, walls, other heavy construction and, in fact, almost anything, of any size, Hammer favours construction of industrial machinery, as he sees it as being more connected to the ethos of Autochthonia and Autochthon himself. Â Much as the hammer itself is both a tool of construction and a weapon, Hammer strives to be such, and, when his home nation (I've not really decided where yet :S ) comes under attack, he favours leaving his labour duties to lead infantry in close combat with other nations, using his imposing size and mighty strength to great advantage spearheading attacks.
Hammer finds he can emphasize with humans he spends a long time with, but is often mystified by the behaviour of humans he meets only briefly, putting their mysterious nature down to malfunction.
-------------------
Okay, this is as far as I've got with his concept
He's a Jade caste called, as you mighta guessed, Unceasing Hammer of Industry. Â I need any and all suggestions for stats, charms, etc etc... absolutely anything that could help me as far as making this character into dots!
Thanks guys!!
