Height: 1.80 m	Hair: Copper
Weight: 90.00 kg	Eyes: Ruby

Appearance: Zedley is composed of cast-off armor, clockwork and copper wire. Visible gears operated by a tiny magical steam engine in his chest make him look even more alien, and the flexing hoses give him an organic look he might otherwise miss. Despite all that, he is a work of art. Lonely to be sure, but a work of art.Personality: Zedley's bejewelled eyes do not show the ache in his mechanical heart, nor does escaping steam catch the ear the way a human sigh might. Instead, he must show his emotion only verbally or through very exagerated body language. He wants to be useful, and will most likely attach himself to an adventuring party as a trap disarmer or "george." Quote:"All I am, is what I appear to be. A random collection of parts, working together to bring a little beauty into the world. Little less or more than you, I tend to think."Background: Zedley was created a few years ago as a laboratory assistant for Rassa Dartoon. Rassa's father had wanted an assistant who could learn fast and operate machinery. What they got was a very sentisive machine who took to tinkering while Rassa and her dad slept, who taught himself how to make watches, steam engines and even magically-alive beings like himself. Old Dartoon died last year, and the girl went to college at the Grol Engineer's School. He was heartbroken at her decision to leave him behind. Now he sits on a street corner repairing watches for pocket change, hoping to collect enough cash to start up his own shop. Powers/Tactics: His many immunities and flair for machinery make Zedley a good rogue, while his morose nature will cause PCs to use him to spring traps. He's not too awful in a fight, though listening to him compain about all the blood and screaming afterward might get a bit tiresome. Campaign Use: Zedley makes a terrific piccaresque encounter, as few gaming groups could resist the lure of a lonely machine, tinkering away on a filthy street corner, puffing our sad whistles of steam to puncuate the desperation in his custom made heart.
