Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2010 2:04 pm
Player Name: Furzball
Name: Coreman Fairport (Cor-Man + Fair-Port)
Age: 50 years old supposedly born in 172 PW
Race: Gnome / Cynanthrope (shifts into Australian Bulldog)
Height: 3 feet / 92 centimeters
Weight: 40 pounds
Physical Description:Coreman generally leaves his dark brown hair in a bedhead of curliness even though it is still considered close cut. No sideburns or beard to speak of. He likes to keep these short since they get itchy to him. His (regular round) chocolate brown eyes often alight in his joking character. He has white skin like that of the caucasian man. He has the standard stockiness and thickness of his short race being 3 feet tall and 40 pounds. His favorite set of clothes being overalls (farmer cut) made from brown leather with a large gray cotton shirt, usually longer then his arms so he folds the sleeves back. He often wears steel toed leather boots that go halfway up his shines. These he makes himself and rarely since they last at minimum 10 years. He sometimes wears leather gloves depending on the work he does. Often seen to be right handed but does use his left hand better then most though not quite ambidexterous. He wears a pair of mechanics goggles used for his inventing and driving his cart (no bugs in ze eyes). Voice sounds like a high barotone, some hints of scratchiness. Talks in a polite almost childlike manner in general, except when he is flirting, being crude, or angry.
Australian bulldog appearance: Basic Australian Bulldog; pure white coat.
Transformation: Quick blur of transformation. Note: All items on self are still worn to the best the can be on a dog. But Coreman usually has to shrug those off to maneuver.
Possessions:
-Magical knife that is used for cutting gems, hair, and finger plus toe nails. Cannot be used to cut or pierce flesh or any other materials then listed. This is due to the knife vibrating at a magical frequency. Near indestructable other then by powerful magic.
-Non stick contents flask
-A gnomish lighter whose flames show up as different colors with each flick
-hand made cigarettes.
-A Steam Cart Vehicle (See bottom for description.)
-Pens and Paper for invention plans and fictional stories
Powers or Strengths:
Gnome
-Use of Steam Cart for travel, speed and ram attack.
-Inventiveness along with knowledge.
-Persistence (especially when womanizing)
-Magic Potential as a Gnome
-Charismatic, making friends with a lot of people
-Activities...In Bed!
Australian Bulldog
-quick transformation (activated either way by a sneeze)
-basic animal language understanding
-looks, has the abilities of, and magically identified as an Australian Bulldog
-no magical dispel
-dogs sniffing and hearing abilities
-heals between forms (see weaknesses note on silver)
Weaknesses:
Gnome-Standard physical strength for building inventions means hardly any for combat. Often he depends on an external source to use in battle. Hates black licorice and feels sick at the smell of it. Does not like spiders of any sort and has the tendency to want them smashed. Does like a good smoke but it does sidetrack him not to mention it is unhealthy. Twice a year he catches a major cold or flu laying him in bed for at least two days, effects could last up to a month. While his immunity system is used to city life he does get allergies and colds when he travels.
-Doesn't like people moving his stuff
-keeps an unorderly work place where only he can find the stuff he wants
-While Coreman is a womanizer and every so often hits the mark, women count as a weakness for Coreman because well, his mind goes to the gutter around them unless something sobers him up.
Australian Bulldog
-Colorblindness and closed sighted by half normal distance.
-Inability to communicate by humanoid means. More instinctual so can be distracted by cats, treats, and toys.
Affects of Silver
-Silver stops the magical healing process between forms changing it to a regular rate of healing. Slows down transformation process leaving him vulnerable for longer.
Affects of Black Licorice
Upon smell: retching and nausea.
Eating: Causes illness to the point of throwing up.
History: Coreman has spent up to the present in his life living in Marn. His parents a gemcutter and a housewife. Before magic laws were enacted his father made a magical gemcutting knife which was later passed down to Coreman after his father disappeared making a delivery of gems. He was attacked by a Cynanthrope (dog shifter) when he was little then learned to speak to other dogs through his transformation and the help of his childhood pet dog.
At 30 he was put into the gnomish education system in the university where he learned alchemy, history, mathematics, reading and writing. He also learned from his father, who was a famous gemcutter in his time, about gemcutting. From his mother Coreman learned gardening and respect for magic in life. In his later years of schooling Coreman developed a passion for engineering and made that his main study and career goal. As a final project he had to engineer something to show his skills to a council of nine licensed engineers. He eventually came upon the idea for a mechanical carriage after being dumped on by a horse as a carriage passed over him on the way to his classes. His main idea was to use steam but found that most of the time steam engines using fuel, coals, or most means of heat tended to either get too hot to ride on or tended to blow up. He eventually came up with plans for a steam engine using a dragon's lung as the heat source. This is due to the dragons lunge creating heat on the inside while staying at an organ temperature on the outside. There fore no heat up problems. Upon presentation of his invention he got a reward for it but was told it could not be put into production do to time, effort, and costs.
After graduating around 40 he has been working in a gemcutting factory and working on his engineering inventions. His goals in life seem to be to better his trade in engineering, find a good woman or women, have a bigger place to live with a workshop of his own, and to continuously learn. Besides for his reward for his steam cart his only other recognition was that his gemcutting skills were as good as his father's. He is relatively known by most that go to the Drunken Rat Tavern, as an annoyance or friend. He has been known as a bit of a womanizer and is often seen with different girls whenever he does ensnare one. His current projects are in various new uses for steam powered mechanics.
Notes on Steam Cart: Looks like a box cart with a plow and steaming contraption on the back. A dragons lung is used to heat the water to create steam pressure to move the back wheels. Does involve steering. Normally goes at a max speed of 40 MPH, but in emergency situations can be made to go 120MPH. Plow in front is used to move rubbish and rubble out of the way. Cart is sturdy enough to be used as a ramming weapon. Also small enough to fit through the door of Coreman's apartment. Dragon lung needs to be surrounded by chicken gravy once a month.

)) for street rubble and dirt in the front.
