Story
SPROCKET MESSER
Wo das Licht nicht reicht stand SPROCKET MESSER, Automaton Guardian Technician, ein Kind von Gnomes, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
SPROCKET war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte SPROCKET geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in SPROCKET. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
ein Geheimnis, das niemand kennt. Das war die Last, die SPROCKET trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Gnomes sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und SPROCKET? SPROCKET ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Gnomes, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.

Identity
Appearance
Physical: Sprocket has the wiry build of someone who spends equal time at workbenches and climbing around massive machinery. His brown hair is thinning prematurely, which he blames on "proximity to magical energy sources." He has an unsettling habit of tilting his head at precisely 45-degree angles when examining problems.
Clothing: He wears a reinforced leather jumpsuit with electromagnetic clamps for attaching to automaton frames during repairs. His tool belt includes specialized instruments for diagnosing magical-mechanical hybrid systems, and his boots have retractable wheels for rapid movement through the workshop.
Distinguishing Marks: A port in the back of his neck (experimental interface for direct automaton communication," mostly successful"), various small scars from automaton malfunctions, and a brand on his shoulder marking him as a certified Guardian Technician.
Relationships
- Family - Estranged; they find him "creepy" and don't understand his work
- Allies - The Automaton Corps (professional relationship), his assigned maintenance team (tolerates them), his experimental automaton "Friend-Unit-7"
- Rivals - Traditionalist engineers who believe automatons should remain purely mechanical, not magical
