Full Name: Mereppi Tinkerspellschnausendeglokin
Age: Fifty-three
Race: Avlissian Gnome (Rock Gnome)
Gender: Female
Deity: Fegall
Birthplace: Derome Delen, Deglos
Occupations:
-Architect: Mereppi has always been fascinated by the design of all things, both living and inanimate. She constantly experiments with new structures and designs, in order to try and improve on the original. She is currently an architect in the employ of Riadoc of Dra'Nar, of the Ivory Order of the Sun. Mereppi helped him to redraft a set of blueprints for a new Dra'Narian orphanage in Mikona, and will potentially help him design others to be built around southern Avlis.
-Arcane Researcher: Mereppi's fascination with design extends especially to the arcane. She is a wizardess, specialized in the art of transmutation. She uses her skills to tear apart and to redesign matter, to satiate her curiousity about the nature of reality. She is unable to cast any spells from the school of Conjuration, as she is strictly opposed to the nature of such spells.
To quote Mereppi: "Matter cannot merely be whisked from some unknown source, and bent to a whim! Only by 'knowing' the true nature and design of an object can you know the truth of it."
Recent History:
Like most gnomes, she has an insatiatible curiousity about the nature of existance.
(The following has all occured in game, during the most recent Ferrell Trade Fair.)
She aquired from a lich, for a brief period of time, an ancient artifact known as "The Deck of Hazards". Unable to resist the temptation that such a magical device proffered, she drew from it, with near-disasterous results. The deck continued to haunt her, reappearing in her hands once more, and setting loose an angry ancient dragon in the middle of the Ferrell Trade Fair, which was quickly dispatched by Smeec and Amy, among her other friends.
The deck did leave her with several lasting curses, as well. Until she left Ferrell that day, she was sickened by an unconquerable illness, a plague of horrible nature, which caused her to shake and vomit, and likely would have killed her if not for the protective enchantments on her staff. However, when that curse left her, a new one had begun...
The Avatar: The Deck left Mereppi with a darker side to her being. Whenever she is threatened, or sees imminent danger, "The Avatar" will emerge. She is both afraid of this power, and eager to study it, and to learn of it's limitations. Usually, the fear wins out, and she will remain in her alternate form only until the current and immediate danger in any situation has passed.
Although she retains her mind and thoughts, there is a subtle shift in her personality while under the influence of The Avatar. She is fearless, to the point of sheer recklessness, and when hard-pressed will enter into the wild battle-rage of a barbarian.
Future Goals: Mereppi will stop at nothing to uncover and possess additional artifacts of a magical nature. She firmly believes that such powerful artifacts as the ones she has dealt with should never be allowed to roam free, for all the harm they could cause, and instead must be carefully studied and held for safekeeping.
However, deep inside her heart, she knows that she could never resist the temptation to use such an artifact herself, and let the consequences be damned.
