Philosophy of Life (in a phrase): “Home is where the hear is, find that place and you will find happiness”
Strengths: Due to his apprenticeship to Mr. Ives he has created numerous inventions that have come in handy to him, one being the revolver that he caries, and has plenty of knowledge in the way of mechanics. Also he has amazing fine motor skills mainly because he has had to construct some very delicate equipment in his work, this also benefits his aim. And living on the streets for a few years has given him the skill to survive on his own.
Weaknesses: Being only 16 he has not had half the experience of others and therefore is slightly more naďve, though living on the streets helped to open his eyes slightly. Also he is occasionally very klutzy. Another thing is that his revolver is only just out of the prototype stage so on the odd occasion it doesn’t work. He also loves food much too much he will often divert from his original course just so he can eat.
Bio: Nameless has grown up with out parents since he can remember he has always been sort of a stray never really fitting in anywhere but always trying and hoping that one day he would find somewhere he fit in, for most of his life he has lived on the streets though he has spent a bit of time in orphanages (when they could catch him), he never really fit in at the orphanages so he would cause as much trouble as possible while staying there, once while at a particularly “evil” orphanage as he would put it he climbed to the roof to escape from one of the caretakers, this resulted in after making it to the roof slipping and almost falling off, he caught himself in time but his arm was cut on one of the corners and he has had a scar ever since.
His life in the streets however was much different he felt like he fit in there and there was no one trying to make him do anything he didn’t want to, he could go where he wanted, do what he wanted, even eat what he wanted (providing he had money), he was totally free and that made him feel the best, he also learned of mechanics while on the streets he was intrigued from the start but no one would teach him because he was just a kid, so when he could get his hands on scrap he would tinker making simple (and usually non working) pieces of equipment.
In his later travels he learned more of mechanics, he would always try to find a local or traveling mechanic and ask them all sorts of questions, usually they either didn’t have time to talk or didn’t think he could comprehend, one of the times he actually found a mechanic willing to talk with him she tried to explain the basics to him he understood some of it but most of it surpassed him at that age, she was however quite impressed with his ambition and when he left she gave him a pair of mechanic pants, big green baggy pants with massive pockets, they were however much to big but he wore them proudly all the same and has worn them ever since.
Another one of his adventure misshapes happened when he was eight he tried to stow away on a ship headed for another part of the continent, unfortunately while still at port he was found and thrown overboard, the sailors realized after they had done this that nameless could not swim, he almost drowned and since then has steered away from deep water as much as possible.
One of his first mechanical achievements was a pair of boots that he had added retractable wheels to so at the push of a button out popped wheels and away he went, though he had to go though at least twenty prototypes to get the final result he nonetheless had made something.
The best thing he has ever had happen to him happened on his ninth birthday, he was staying in a small town for a few days when a mechanic by the name of Mr. Ives came into town, he was headed back to one of the larger towns with his large wagon filled to the bursting point with mechanical oddities, nameless was at once drawn to this man he started asking this and that and how he had become so good at mechanics and on and on, the man was intrigued by nameless and asked why he had such an interest, when nameless replied “it’s the only thing I can do right even though I’m not very good at it” he asked “would you like to get better at it then? I am in need of an apprentice and I think you have the desire that I have been looking for” nameless almost fell off the chair he was in, he accepted right away and from that day onward he has been taught by Mr. Ives.
Over next seven the years he grew in knowledge, in strength, and in body, he also grew very close to Mr. Ives who was now like a father to him, he learned all he could from Mr. Ives and his extensive library, and became quite the inventor, he created lots of things but his prize invention is his revolver which he named Grace.
Today his 16th birthday his apprenticeship ended, he now has everything he needs knowledge, a home, and more ambition than ever, he also has the urge to travel again since he is done with his learning he is off to see the world and taste its food!
