Powerhaus Cindergrove

Description

A faint jagged black aura surrounds Powerhaus.
You see Desperado Powerhaus Cindergrove, Elemental Catastrophe, a Human.
Powerhaus has sullenly glowing flame-hued eyes. His black-streaked auburn hair is shoulder length and fine, and is worn in a careless, windblown arrangement. He has freckled skin and an athletic build.
He is very tall for a Human.
He is venerable for a Human.
He has a scruffy growth of stubble on his face.
He has a tattoo of an armored warrior with black feathered wings spread wide across the width of his back. A few of the dark feathers have come loose, drifting downward to catch ablaze in a row of bright flames that burns on his lower back.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a pair of soot-streaked miner's goggles overlaid with darkened and burned leather, a wide black nightsilk headband decorated with offset concentric circles of bold firesilk, a simple shirt of dark firesilk with loose ebony nightsilk ties, a black leather utility belt set with double grommets, some loose-fitting gusseted pants of dark nightsilk with a long tie belt, a scorched black hooded longcoat embellished at the hems with stylized flames, a set of blackened steel claws tipped with flint, a sturdy black traveler's rucksack with crossed malchata ribs attached to the flap, a long mesh weapon harness wrapped in a tattered black cloth, a battered parry stick shaped like a skeletal spine with broken ribs, some curved bone claws jutting from tattered black cloth-wrapped knuckles, some ragged black footwraps complete with tarnished silver toe guards, a flame-scorched bone wristcuff with protruding spikes of twisted ash-grey cambrinth, a heavily battered and burned Adan'f skull bound in catgut, a fur-edged spellbook case crafted to form the snarling visage of a monster, a blackened bone oath toe-ring, a glossy black spider bracer with a fine brushed finish, a darkened cambrinth armband inlaid with jagged silver lightning bolts, a balaclava painted to resemble rotting flesh, a flat black hauberk, some flat black gloves, a gold and fire opal ring, a Gorbesh catapult basket, a quiver, an albredine crystal ring, a witch ball, and a goblin skeleton.

Altered Possessions

• a vivid ebon-framed portrait of a lone Human mage battling against roiling shadows

With one hand raised above his head and casting as if in mid-spell, the dark-eyed Human mage stands in a battle pose, his scorched longcoat flaring out behind him as he begins to draw a greatsword from its sheath. His auburn hair flies wildly in the unseen wind and the first trace of a circle of magical fire surrounds him as a slight smirk crosses his face. Several yellow-eyed creatures flee from the flickering flames surrounding the mage, several of them looking to be not-quite human.
A vivid ebon-framed portrait reads:
"Powerhaus Cindergrove -- Saving the World, Yet Again"

• a dapper black fedora with a grey silk band

Thin strips of bone run vertically along the entire length of the fine grey silk. The brim of the hat itself curves downward slightly to help shade the eyes.

• a massive dark-bladed greatsword with a twisted gloomwood haft

The blade tapers at both ends, forming a pointed oval. Deeply angled notches span one side of the blade, forming a wickedly serrated edge. Impressed into the metal is the image of a raven hovering over an anvil and holding a hammer and tongs in its claws. The gnarled gloomwood haft twists about artistically -- without hindering the wielder's grip -- and is polished to a deep purple sheen.

• a blackened chain balaclava painted with a crude red visage

A solitary streaked handprint gives shape to the abstract features. Thick cloth padding lines the links, providing some comfort during prolonged wear.

• some blackened chain gloves with red marked palms

A havri'negh symbol has been carefully painted onto each palm. The symbol, a many-rayed star centered in a series of spheres bound in a serrated circle, represents the various elements.

• a pair of soot-streaked miner's goggles overlaid with darkened and burned leather

Designed for protection while blasting out mines, a heavy layer of grime mars the goggles. Reinforced leather covers the frame and padded band, designed to fit snug and comfortable against the wearer's face. Along with crude stitching, iron rivets are affixed to the band and encircle the lenses to hold the pieces taut. Jagged scorch marks and streaks of ash radiate outwards from the darkened lenses, the markings not impairing their function as protection from sun, wind, water, or flying debris.

• a wide black nightsilk headband decorated with offset concentric circles of bold firesilk

Slightly jilted from the center to start just over the wearer's right eye, the thick circular bands of firesilk form a pattern similar to a wavering ripple of flame. Red threads used in the warp of the fabric create the image of shimmering rings of flame, radiating outward in an ever-growing wave.

• a set of blackened steel claws tipped with flint

Embedded into the ridge of each claw, a strip of flint narrows seamlessly into a point at the tip.

• a simple shirt of dark firesilk with loose ebony nightsilk ties

Red threads used in the warp of the fabric create the illusion of shimmering tendrils of flame when touched by light. The silky ties combined with the casual, relaxed cut give this shirt a light and airy feel. With every movement, the firesilk appears to undulate, its carmine highlights rippling across the folds like rivulets of fresh blood.

• some loose-fitting gusseted pants of dark nightsilk with a long tie belt

Both of the garment's legs are slightly extended, cut to end in a slightly frayed cuff just below the wearer's heel. A wide belt of black nightsilk is wrapped around the waist and tied off in a simple knot, allowing the ends to hang mid-thigh. Perfect for casual or dressy wear, the pants also allow for the freedom of movement that would be well suited in combat.

• a scorched black hooded longcoat embellished at the hems with stylized flames

The heavy leather of the coat bears the characteristic marks of mana burns, almost certainly the product of excess spellcasting. The image of red and orange flames rise upwards from the sleeves and hem, enveloping them and reaching upwards to curl around the waist and shoulders. Whorls of grey cover the back and chest of the coat, resembling dark smoke.

• a battered parry stick shaped like a skeletal spine with broken ribs

Claw and teeth marks mar the surface from one end to the other, as if it's been used many times to fend off wild animals.

• some curved bone claws jutting from tattered black cloth-wrapped knuckles

Three malchata ribs have been carved into wickedly sharp talons with serrated edges, designed to hook just over the wearer's fingers. Catgut stirrups attached to the claws wrap across the palm and wrist when worn, securing them tightly for use in the most rigorous of combat situations. A ragged black cloth long enough to cover the hand and forearm is wrapped around the claws to align and veil them.

• some ragged black footwraps complete with tarnished silver toe guards

Although heavily worn and ragged, these fraying footwraps are sturdily reinforced with wide segments of bone to protect the shin and ankle during heavy combat. Rolled cords of blackened silver thread through the toecaps and supple leather stitched to the long black strip of cloth that is used to wrap the foot and keep the armor in place.

• a long mesh weapon harness wrapped in a tattered black cloth

The long piece of fraying dark fabric is wrapped around the body of the harness, designed to conceal any smaller contents. The pitch-black harness has many different leather straps attached to a mesh body which allows very long objects to be carried conveniently within it.

• a sturdy black traveler's rucksack with crossed malchata ribs attached to the flap

Sleek black fur lines the inside of the large container, the edges near the container's lid frayed a bit in a feathery pattern. Continuing up the shoulder straps and forming twin shoulder pads, the dark fur makes for soft padding around the dark material. Framing the stiff leather lid, the two bones are skillfully arranged into an X pattern, both of them slightly curved but keeping the pattern clear.

• a crude basket lined with a bloodstained cloth

Numerous deep gashes mar the thick metal rim and dried blood and other foul stains have seeped through the lining to discolor the basket. Secured to it is a worn shoulder strap, tooled with an executioner discarding severed heads.

• a serrated belt knife with a leather wrapped handle

Pale bone peaks out from the concealment of the crude wrappings.

• a subdued black wrist sheath covered in whorls of dark smoke

Varying shades of black create billowing whorls of smoke that cover the sheath. Partially obscured on the back is a burning figure, illuminated by dancing flames and haloed by cinder flecks that disperse into the surrounding darkness.

• a heavily battered and burned Adan'f skull bound in catgut

Scorched and dented, the skull bears one empty eyesocket and a shattered hole where the other should be, as if it had been exploded from the inside. A cord of tightly wound catgut winds around the skull, keeping the jaw firmly in place while still allowing it to open and close. The excess intestine has been carefully braided to form a handy carrying strap.

• a fur-edged spellbook case crafted to form the snarling visage of a monster

A myriad of eyes of all shapes and sizes cover the surface of the case, ranging from a beady red color to reptilian to resembling those of a huge insect. Appendages resembling octopus tentacles dangle from the bottom, each one a slightly different shade of green. Several rows of sharp teeth surround the opening, protecting the contents inside, while faint stitching betrays the craftsmanship taken to create this abomination.

• a blackened bone oath toe-ring

Inlaid in the middle of the hardened band, a sculpted piece of obsidian adds a glossy contrast. A tiny ring of flames wends through the stone, etched in minute detail.
A bone oath toe-ring reads:
"I burn for you."

• a flame-scorched bone wristcuff with protruding spikes of twisted ash-grey cambrinth

Six warped cambrinth spikes are tipped in darkened silver and tortuously etched with tiny symbols in a swirling pattern, a different elemental representation for each red-mottled piece. Charred catgut binds the darkened bone of the macabre adornment to the wearer's wrist.

• a blackened iron ring bearing the crest of the Warrior Mage Guild

Inscribed on the inside of the ring is a wolf's head shrouded by an aura of flame over twin crossed swords, the crest of the Warrior Mage Guild.

• a charred fire mage hand-puppet with missing eyebrows

-You make a pinching motion inside the hand puppet and raise it slightly. The fire mage raises its arms as it begins to chant a magic spell while its face contorts with the effort to begin a powerful attack. Suddenly a blue koala darts from beneath the singed robes and begins to claw at the mage's face!
-You make a subtle poking motion inside the hand-puppet. Laughing maniacally, the fire mage sticks its hand in its mouth and appears to bite its thumb off. Staring blankly for a moment, it untucks its thumb from its hand slowly.

• some flowing dark mage robes stitched with odd green symbols

The oddly shaped symbols cover the midnight-hued folds of nightsilk. Highlights stitched in jade make the shapes seem to glimmer.

• an empty whiskey jug painted with a drunkard seated upon a bold slogan

Three large black Xs form the background for a rather surly fellow seated haphazardly upon a large slogan proudly proclaiming, "DRINK MORE WHISKEY!" The lush appears to be toasting the heavens with his large jug -- or perhaps begging for a refill.

• a leather-bound journal with the image of a mage shadowed by a wolf

A leather cover binds assorted clippings, pages torn from books, and odd pieces of vellum scrolls. On the cover there is an image of a cloaked mage holding a crooked black staff topped with a fire elemental. A wolf stalks behind the mage, its eyes alert to any danger.

• a brass orlog engraved with the name "Powerhaus"

The brass orlog, now closed, is a fine mechanism about the shape and size of a large apple, with a hinged metal cover that protects the works inside. On its burnished front cover is an intricate pattern of twined ivy and holly leaves. Underneath it, engraved in a flowing script, you read:
Powerhaus

• an engraved platinum cigarillo case with an intricate snap clasp

The lustrous metal of the container is delicately engraved with a wolf's head shrouded by an aura of flame over twin crossed swords. The canine's eyes are formed of large shimmering fire opals, the orange-red gems giving the wolf a ferocious aspect. An intricately shaped raven with wide-spread wings forms the closing mechanism on one side.
A platinum cigarillo case reads:
~ RC ~

• a dark purple sack streaked with stars amidst faltering figures

Images of the Thirteen tumble downward from the opening along the surface, positioned as if falling blindly from the heavens.
A deep purple sack reads:
"Powerhaus Cindergrove"

• a form-fitting halter-neck gown of vibrant fiery red and yellow silk

The finely tailored garment flows downward from the collar as if to sheath the body in a second skin of fire, leaving only the back exposed through flame-shaped cutouts.

• a fringed leather waterskin clasped with a yellowed toe-bone and hung with three raven feathers

The scuffed and worn waterskin has developed small holes over years of hard use, and the image of a cloaked archer stitched to the beltloop is sun-faded.
A fringed leather waterskin reads:
Wrought by the hands of Jhiskar and Ghisa Rae'Sithi

• some dark chain armor with a charred image of a raven across the chest

Hanging from the back is a tattered sign made of hairless bearskin.
It reads, "Greetings, I am Mute."

• a battered charred broadsword

Engraved near the hilt is a stylized "A" surrounded by a ring of ivy.
