Appearance - Thaddeus stands at 5'10", and before his opium usage started to manifest in the thinness of his body, hollow eyes and the slight gauntness of his face, his was a fairly average build, although his gently hunched frame's always been more inclined toward a bookish type of work rather than anything overly physical. Upon his head is a romantic and unkempt swirl of medium brown, wavy hair kept carelessly and stylishly just too long, and parted toward the right so that it typically hangs slightly in his eyes. His delicate, somewhat effeminate lips are usually smiling; a vague, wan expression to match the pallor of his face, and his frequently bloodshot eyes are a washed-out, undistinguished blue. He hasn't been able to grow out of his fine-boned boyish face quite yet, but a little more weight loss would do the trick. He is clean-shaven out of lack of real ability to grow any substantial facial hair. Overall, there is a worn elegance about the young man, which could, perhaps, be chalked-up to all work and no play.

Personality - Astute, attentive and observant, mostly by default, Thaddeus maintains a largely mellow personality, and always has, even if it's now augmented by his drug use; he becomes perceptibly agitated, however, when it need of a fix, and becomes noticeably ansty in such circumstances, demonstrating signs such as tapping his fingers and/or playing with his hair. He's studious and a hard-working, to the point of getting lost in a project. Even if he can't express it through normal means, Thad is philosophical, naturally sharp, curious and likes to get to know people in his own way. Thanks to his upper class upbringing, he's come to enjoy the finer things in life.

History - One of the principle overruling traits that's plotted Thad's course in life is that he was born with some indeterminate physical mutism-- his larynx has been paralyzed since birth. He was born the middle child to a DaGuerrian family, and has an older brother, Merrill, who is the outright heir to the Potts's business holdings and estate, and a younger sister, Eudora, who is still in school. His talent with Machine Speech dictated that he was to attend the Royal School of Engineers, as had numerous of his forebears before him.

All would be well, save for the fact that his rakish older brother introduced him to the dubious magnificence of opium about when he was about to enter the Royal School, and the periodic dalliance eventually became a regrettable habit, especially over the last year of school. Thaddeus's innate intelligence and talents helped him to graduate, despite the burgeoning roadblock of addiction. He is currently looking for employment, and, upon the insistence of his father, Merrill Potts Sr, he is weighing his options to make the best decision possible while enjoying a post-graduation respite.

2013-06-19 [Ms. Steel]: This is going to come as a HUGE SURPRISE, but I have a few questions. (only because I always have questions, not because this isn't user-friendly)

1. I wasn't certain about the age. I kind of wanted him to be just out of the Academy, but wasn't sure if it was more akin to undergrad, grad school, etc. So the number up there is kinda just an arbitrary estimation.

2. 'Family business'...? Is that okay? I was going to specify, but wasn't certain what was allowed. Coal business, generic technology something-or-other?

3. If he is just out of school, what are the possible options for work, or should be just be looking for employment? Or are the engineers simply absorbed as they graduate into the organism of the inner workings of the nation, wherever the ruling class/upper echelon engineers see fit?

2013-06-19 [Ms. Steel]: Also, suggestions and constructive criticism are always peachy keen.

2013-06-19 [Duredhel]: No prob :3
1. Age is good, early 20's would be fine for a recent graduate, could be even younger. People as young as 16 can sign up and be done in 4 or 5 years. Most people sign up at 18 but you can really sign up whenever if you have the aptitude.

2. Family business is fine :3

3. Engineers probably have the most freedom when it comes to their career path, they're on top of the world, so to speak. They may choose to set up a business, work for the government, go into research, go adventuring, etc etc. He could also be simply job-hunting.

2013-06-19 [Duredhel]: Ohu :O You need to pick some proficiencies from WoW - Proficiencies. You can pick up to three.

2013-06-20 [Ms. Steel]: I guess... Craftsmanship, Engineering, Focus...

2013-06-20 [Duredhel]: Aye :3 what would you like your character's focus to be (Engineering, Decipher, Memory, Heal, Identify or Learn)?

2013-06-20 [Ms. Steel]: hmm. So do I keep going with Engineering or branch out instead?

What does Memory do?

2013-06-20 [Duredhel]: Whenever you need your character to recall information you as a player don't know but hope he might, memory is used :3. If successful I outright tell you the info.

It's up to you, you can choose whatever skill you'd like.

2013-06-20 [Ms. Steel]: mmm, maybe I'll go with Memory, then.
