THE BEGINNING HAS ENDED...
...AND THE ENDING HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.

"Fifteen, please stay close!"
One's desperate cry was no use. Fifteen danced across the rubble of the Topland, always one step ahead of the rest of the group. They were tired, all of them. But they pressed on, in hope that they would discover a safe and intact refuge.
But does such a place even exist?
Five minutes passed, and the Numbers walked in silence. This severely worried One. Normally, it was never this silent; Fifteen, a boundless chatter box, would never act so composed.
"Fifteen?" One called. Silence followed. With narrowed eyes, One swept his gaze over the sandy terrain - that was once full of growth and greenery - in search of the dim glow from Fifteen's candle stick. To his horror, there was no glow. "Fifteen!" One called more emphatically.
"Here!" Fifteen answered from a distance. Although he could still see no sign of the small figurine, he hurriedly pushed forward until he came to a slope, blanketed with mounds of scrap metal and rubble. Below, Fifteen crouched over a cardboard box buried midway in rubble. She cast One and the rest of the group a quick glance and called, "Come look at this, One!"
With no hesitation, One slid down the slope using his mace to maintain his stability. As he and the others leaned over the side of the box and looked over its contents, Eleven gasped dramatically. "Can it be?"
"These are copies of the prototypes in the Artisan's basement!" One exclaimed. As he said it, the eyes of the twenty or so stitchpunks within the box began to dimly glow...
---
It's been three weeks since the remaining Numbers - One, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Fourteen, and Fifteen - have narrowly escaped through the Tunnels. The threat of the Beasts is behind them, but they've been burdened with the responsibility of protecting themselves in the Topland, which they've discovered is far more dangerous than the cavern city, and finding a new home, perhaps even a permanent one. However, upon discovering the box of stitchpunks, they explained what had happened according to what knowledge they gathered from newspapers and old television broadcasts.
Having shared this news, the Numbers and the the stitchpunks trekked for half a week and eventually discovered a bridge crossing a droughty river with several patches of grass on either side. Here, they established a settlement called Esterham, named after William Ester, who the original stitchpunks discovered to be the Artisan.
The Numbers eventually learned that their Artisan had collaborated with several other scientists on the creation and animation of the stitchpunks. While some scientists theorized that this project would fail and considered it very absurd to transfer one's soul to a collection of dolls, others, including the Artisan, were committed to this rejuvenation of Earth. With this in mind, the Numbers made it their ambition to protect the other stitchpunks and their new establishment.
But what lurks outside the walls of Esterham? What new threats are ensuing? According to witnesses, a lone stitchpunk has made several appearances near Esterham territory. Is this what they should feel afraid of?
Esterham is prepared for any invasions or onslaughts. They know better than to let down their guard. They know better than to believe that they are safe or secure in this world. But they will still make the most of it.

☾Know Your Leaders☾
The rulers of Esterham are quite obviously the original wooden stitchpunks that survived the cavern city. They all have a place in the Council. Here's what you should know about them:
{ONE} One has been alive the longest. He has a bulky, ponderous figure. He possesses two large kitchen knives he's retrieved from the rubble of a neighborhood house. He wears loose clothing beneath his crimson red and light brown armor. He wears a small, green helmet he's attained from another house. He wears a belt around his waist. He carries a large, ponderous mace to protect himself and the others. One is fierce, aggressive, and even arrogant at times. He's very much concerned for his team, and would choose to fight their enemies by preference. Over the several weeks he's survived the cavern city, he's become much more mindful, and passionate for his team. He was especially fond of Four, the leader of the original team, who unfortunately hadn't survived.
{NINE} Nine is an extreme risk-reward kind of girl, with a tendancy to overlook the size or strength of an opponent; she'll jump into battle before thinking ahead and assessing the situation. Nine wears a medium-sized tin breastplate, with leather pantlegs and a small necklace strung with human teeth found among the ruins. She wields a long staff, with a sharp piece of rusted iron tied to the end with dead grass. Nine is easy to get along with, but can quickly lash out at someone if she feels they've gone too far into her "personal bubble".
{TEN} Ten is a very calm, patient female with a harmonious behavior. She is very agreeable, and supportive. Ten wears a white, hoodless cloak with deviant black inscriptions on the back. Beneath her cloak, she wears leather armor strapped together by velco. She carries several vials of poison in her wide, light brown leather belt around her waist. She's obtained this poison from contact with a Beast. She now uses it against them. She also carries with her a grappling hook to use in the most unfortunate situations. She keeps the hook strapped to her belt most of the time. Ten has two sides to her personality. She is very solemn and strict in difficult situations. She puts effort into her battles - as well as her retreat from pursuers. Ten is also easily angered, but it's too often that she's frustrated.
{ELEVEN} Eleven is the only medic the entire team contains. He wears a thin, loose white fabric shirt with pants created from the same material. He wears a small, plastic bag over her head with a twig protruding from the top. His room consists of several beds, as well as tools to repair damages and vials of medicine to heal the ill. He is very aware of what he is doing, and heals rather quickly. He is not armed with any weapon, for he doesn't fight. But, in any case, he can use scissors he stores in his room for his own defense. Eleven is frantic, and distressed if the injuries are terrible. He worries that he may do something wrong during the process. Fortunately, his team is very supportive of his work, so he has very little to worry about. While he is a common medic, he is often preoccupied with business in the Council; thus, he has many pupils and accomplices that will fill in his place in his absence if someone is hurt.
{TWELVE} Twelve was the obstinate, intractible on the team, but in the duration of these several weeks he's learned to value and respect his acquaintances, as they are all he has. He once quarreled and fought with Four frequently, but since Four's death he's been very ambitious to make sacrifices for Esterham and do what he can to protect his people. By the Council and by the people, he's viewed as an established second version of Four. He wears thick armor and metallic boots. He also wears a bird-like helmet with a broad, iron beak and several different shades of orange. Beneath his armor he wears thin fabrics with peculiar patterns on them. He is armed with matches, a shortsword, and several ropes that he carries in a small shoulder bag.
{FOURTEEN} Fourteen, the only mute companion amongst all the others, is a rather cautious - and paranoid on occasions - individual. It is unknown how he's become mute. He himself doesn't recall how it'd happened. He has an affinity for tinkering with collectibles. In fact, his modest inventions serve no true purpose - spinning wheels, blinking lights, and the like. The others often encourage him to construct something that they may use against enemies, but Fourteen generally shakes his head bashfully. He does not believe he is of any use, but that does not discourage him from finding pleasure in inventing minor things. Fourteen wears no armour, but he does wear a white, stained apron over slender, orange clothing. With this apron, he wears a pair of goggles Two had once constructed for him. He wields a fork he's dug up from the rubble of a restaurant. He's sharpened the blades thoroughly until his fork has become a significant weapon that any hero would be honored to wield. Additionally, he's painted patterns and designs on the fork for domeanor.
{FIFTEEN} Fifteen is tender-hearted and good-natured. She has a pleasant smile that, on some occasions, lifts the spirits of the others, draining their minds of their worries. However, she is often avoided because of her strange obsession for candles, and flames. She has an affection for a candle in particular she calls 'Ember'. Additionally, she will ask questions that no one has the answers to. She oftens asks questions about the unexplored world outside of Esterham and the supposed threat that has made appearances outside the walls of the settlement. Fifteen wears several layers of clothes for warmth. She wears dress upon dress, and a twig stuck in her yarn hair for appearance. As for a weapon, she prefers to fend off her opponents with her candles, and her flames. Everyone disapproves of her choice, but she continues to ignore them.

☾Locations of Esterham ☾
*Housing is not included in this list. The RPers may make their own houses.*
THE COUNCIL HOUSE-- The Council House is situated at the core of Esterham. Here, the Council discusses and debates issues and concerns of Esterham. They also make amendments and agreements in this house. Only invited citizens are allowed into the Council House for various reasons. The House is built entirely of scrap metal, with few gaps in the walls.The floors are carpeted with a dark red fabric and several curtains made from a dark blue cloth are strung up around the room to cover the gaps in the walls. At the far end of the room is a podium, and several desks are arranged around the room. Behind each desk are two sewing tubes for seating two of the Council members, though one is vacant for the reason of having an odd amount of Council members.
THE PORT-- The Port is located at the bottom of the central bridge support, accessed by a spiral staircase. It has a makeshift lift, using a pulley, to take any supplies brought by boat up to the city. Fabric for repairing sails, and wood for fixing broken boats, is stored off to one side. While the Port is primarily used for business, it's also used for a common ritual. When a stitchpunk passes on to his or her afterlife, the Council members themselves will attend the funeral at the Port. The deceased stitchpunk will be sent down the creek on a material large enough for their bodies to symbolize that the end of this journey marks the beginning of a new one for the deceased.
THE PAWN SHOP-- The Pawn Shop lies east of the Council House, sitting on the very edge of the wooden bridge. The station is run by a couple of citizens of Esterham, who have obtained various objects from outside Esterham. Other citizens stream to their shop to trade their own salvages for weaponry, armour, clothing, or furniture material. The shop is made of cardboard with a tin covering to protect the cardboard from damping during storms. An entrance is cut out in the back, and a wooden desk is situated at the front of the shop with shelves built across the walls in the inside of the shop.
THE MEDIC LODGE-- The Medic Lodge is directly across from the Pawn Shop in case the medics are in urgent need of a certain material. The Medical Lodge, or simply referred to as "The Lodge" by some, has a tall wooden frame. Nailed into the framework are thick red fabrics that billow in the wind. An entrance is cut out in the front fabric with flaps that can be connected by a button. A small tent is suspended above the entrance to provide shade.
THE WATCHER-TOWERS-- The Watcher-Towers are platforms with canvas tents, located on either side of the bridge, suspended between between the bridge's side rails by ropes and cables. They are crewed by Watcher-Soldiers, to keep an eye out for any dangerous predators.
THE FORTS-- Located at either end of the bridge, below and a bit behind the Watcher-Towers, the Forts are shelters for Guardian-Soldiers and Ranger-Soldiers on guard duty. The Forts have wooden walls, with canvas or metal roofing. Within the Forts are cots for the Soldiers, and storage for weapons, or supplies to fix any part of the Forts damaged by predators.
THE INSPECTION HOUSE-- The Inspection House, very near the Council House, is home to the Inspectors, and constantly visited by Scavengers. Significant findings found outside of Esterham are taken here to be inspected, and given a purpose or value. The Inspection House is, to put it simply, a large upside-down orange plant pot with an entrance carved out. To add a touch of decoration, the Metalmasons have wrapped a red fabric with yellow stripes around the exterior of the pot. They've hooked the fabric onto a nail protruding from the side of the pot to hold it in place. The interior of the Inspection House is quite comparable to a courthouse. The desks are formed by stacks of books, and the seating behind the desks are made out of buttons with four sticks inserted into the button holes to serve as legs. There are several clots of dirt within the Inspection House from the pot before it was turned over.
THE OUTPOSTS-- The Outposts, while not within the city limits of Esterham, remain within the territory. They are scattered about the settlement on either side of the bridge, designed for Watcher-Soldiers who are not stationed in the Watcher-Towers. There are four outposts, referred to as Sectors- Sector A, Sector B, Sector C, and Sector D. Each outpost is made of large slabs of stone, arranged in such a way to support the weight of a covering, and to provide strength against an attacker. They are all curved like the letter U, with one opening that faces toward Esterham. The dirt upon which each outpost is built has been dug out to provide more room for the Watcher-Soldiers, creating a sort of bowl. Within each outpost are cots, tables, and supplies that would include weapons and armour.
THE STOREHOUSE-- When Scavengers come back into Esterham with loot and supplies, it does not always find a use right away. If the Inspectors don't find it unique, and the Pawners have nothing to trade for it, it goes to the Storehouse. When in there, it is stored until a later date when a Blacksmith or Metalmason needs it. The Storehouse has four wooden stilts supporting a roof made of woodchips. Canvas and fabrics are draped over three sides. On the open side, there's a desk with a stool. A worker sits there, recording anything the Scavengers store, so the Blacksmiths and Metalmasons can easily check if the supplies they need are in stock. The Storehouse is located near the Eastern entrance of Esterham.
THE KEEP-- The Keep is located at the heart of Esterham, directly beneath the Garden of Four, a small courtyard dedicated to the Council's previous leader, Four, with a statue sculpted in his image at the center of the garden. Beneath the statue is a trapdoor; beneath this is wooden staircase that leads into the Keep. The Keep is quite simply a wooden shelter beneath the bridge; its walls are connected to the roof of the bridge, and the capacity of the shelter can hold up to thirty individuals. The Keep is only used in dire situations, such as during an invasion or onslaught.
THE TRAINING-HOUSE-- The Training-House is a construction designed to train inexperienced Scavengers, Soldiers, and sometimes Sailors. The Training-House is a basic three foot long aquarium, with some trees, a rocky floor, and a small mountain made out of coral. Two entrances are carved out on either side for the combatants. In the Training-House, they practice basic combat with swords and knives. At the port, they have set up several targets on the Western bank of the river using rounded pieces of painted styrofoam.
THE CLUBHOUSE-- The Clubhouse is a small tent with three open sides. The roofing of the Clubhouse is a thin scrap of rusted metal. The roof is supported by four tall glass bottles, and a worn piece of cloth drapes over all four sides. Only the back is fully covered by the cloth. Beneath the tent are several stacks of books to serve as tables. Around each stack are three aluminum cans for seating. The Clubhouse is designed to allow stitchpunks to congregate and socialize when they aren't busy. It's located very near the Garden of Four.
THE WORKYARD-- The Workyard is a fenced off area, used by Metalmasons to build new objects and parts of buildings, and Tailors and Blacksmiths as well. Its fence is composed of wooden stakes with an equal distance between each two. Between every two stakes is an expansive piece of aluminum porch screen material, about ten-feet high each. The Workyard is not built on the bridge, for the reason of preventing fire hazards. It's located on the Eastern side of Esterham, just to the right of the bridge on a patch of dead grass. It has an extra exit in the back that leads down to the bank of the river, in case one of the workers were to catch fire. The Workyard consists of the Forge, the Canvasworks, and a small shed made of metal scraps for the Metalmasons to store their materials.
THE FORGE-- The Forge is a building inside the Workyard, occupied by the Blacksmiths for the forgery of weapons and tools for other workers within Esterham. The Forge is a simple overturned metal bowl with filters through which the smoke vents out. The bowl is quite large, offering plenty of room for the Blacksmiths to go about their work. Inside, there are numerous anvils, which are basically fragments of a broken-down rock. The Forge is nest.led in the top-right corner of the Workyard, directly across from the Canvasworks.
THE CANVASWORKS-- The Canvasworks is a building inside the Workyard, used by Tailors to make canvas and other materials for stitchpunks, fabrics, and clothes. The Canvasworks is a wooden structure with a framework which resembles that of an Indian tepee. The wooden shafts that hold the structure together are sloped; the point at which they meet is binded together with a length of rope. The structure is dressed in diversely-colored fabrics with various designs and patterns that have been accumulated from nearby towns and houses. They, too, are bound together by a length of rope at the top. A ten-foot entrance is cut out, with flaps to keep out cold winds. This structure is built some distance away from the Forge to prevent fire hazards.
THE ARCHIVE-- The Archive is located in a tall cupboard, secured to the bridge railings by nails and screws. The cupboard doors are always closed, and a small entrance has been carved out of the wood near the bottom. There are three shelves in the cupboard, and a staircase has been established between each to allow access to all five stories of the cupboard. On the first two shelves are makeshift bookshelves that hold the stitchpunks' own writings and drawings. The third shelf - the tallest shelf - contains some of the humans' own novels and chronicles that they've collected from the rubble.

☾What's a Stitchpunk?☾
Stitchpunks are the ragdolls that were fabricated and animated by scientists and professors during the outbreak of a fatal disease to carry on with life. They were also created to confront the looming threat that was responsible for the destruction of humanity- Beasts, the foul experiments that went horribly wrong. Fortunately, they have abolished these morbid creatures, but the threat of common predators still stands.
Stitchpunks generally have optics as substitutes for eyes. Their arms, legs and skeletal systems are usually composed of copper, brass, bronze, nickel, and sometimes wood. Covering their skeletal systems are fabrics such as canvas, twill, leather, wool, poplin, cotton and others. While they all have the same general designs, each stitchpunk is original in some form or fashion. They are often characterized by accessories such as buttons, tails, an extra optic, features sewn into their outer coverings, etc.
Stitchpunks are generally eight inches or shorter. While some believe that this proves to be a problem, others like to think of it as an advantage, as their size allows them to hide themselves from predators amongst rubble or debris.
Stitchpunks do not eat. They are practically immortal unless their life source is destroyed or disconnected from the rest of their body- the "heart", a metal structure in their chests into which the creators of these creatures had transferred a portion of their soul.
While most of the stitchpunks are made of metals and fabrics, the first stitchpunks to live - the Council - are made entirely of wood, with some fabrics as substitutes for garments.

☾Occupations Within Esterham☾
MEDIC-- Responsible for the healing and restoration of wounded and damaged stitchpunks. They do seams and replacements to mend them back to health.
BLACKSMITH-- The smithies of Esterham. They will forge and create the armour, weaponry, building material, and common household items for the citizens and soldiers of Esterham.
METALMASON-- Employed to build and construct the houses and local buildings within Esterham. Their job requires a lot of laborious work, as they are also meant to repair and manage damaged buildings.
GUARDIAN-SOLDIER-- The guardians of Esterham. They keep the predators out, and the citizens civil. They're usually armed with spears, clubs, or swords.
WATCHER-SOLDIER-- The scouts of Esterham, spotting predators before they get too close. Not as tough or well armed as Guardians. They are usually assigned to various outposts and bunkers located around the perimeter of Esterham.
RANGER-SOLDIER-- The special Guardians, armed with slingshots or ingenious nail shooting-crossbow devices. Their job is to deter or kill especially dangerous predators.
PAWNER-- As the name suggests, these citizens are the pawners. They maintain the pawn shop, and are usually familiar with the worth of the objects brought before them. No one in Esterham can make reasonable trades like these sorts can.
INSPECTOR-- The chief scholars in human technology. If a Scavenger finds some sort of human device, the Inspectors will study it and figure out what it is.
SCAVENGER-- Scavengers go out into the world outside of Esterham, in an attempt to discover useful supplies or human devices for their comrades.
TAILOR-- Tailors are the canvas and fabric workers of Esterham. They supply the medics with canvas for repairing injured stitchpunks, as well as fabrics, decorations, clothing, and uniforms, and tents and shelters for housing.
SAILOR- Sailors pilot the rivercraft used to carry Scavengers out from the Port. They navigate the rapids and rocks, making sure their passengers and any supplies they find are safe.
SCRIBE-- Scribes work within the Archive. Their sole purpose is to document all their history and preserve their chronicles. The one reason they do this is because some believe that there are other sentient life forms out there, and if the citizens of Esterham were to all leave or pass away, another generation of stitchpunks, or perhaps something else, could understand the stitchpunks', and the world's, history. While many of them write, some draw scenes of the world as it is today as a visual narrative.

Name/Title/Alias: Sepp
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Gender: Male/Masculine
Appearance: Sepp is about 7-8 inches tall, with a slim figure. His metal skeleton is made of nickel, as well as his hands. He has long, slender fingers (three on each hand) made of brass with knife-edged points. His feet (three toes on each) are made entirely of nickel. Covering Sepp's thighs and legs is a soiled white canvas. Velvet bindings are tied around his ankles to keep the canvas in place. Black twill cotton covers his upper body. The cotton is shaped similarly to a coat with two flaps in the back. The coat and the canvas covering his legs are sewn together near his waist. His arms are connected to his shoulders by twenty-six seams on either side. A leather binding wraps around his torso, with a small brass belt buckle stitched into the leather "belt." A single optic is centered in his head. Atop his head is a solid black top hat made of wool. The bottom of the hat is stitched into his head to hold it in place. The front of the brim is curved slightly upward. A small brown button is stitched into the front of the hat. Sepp has a dark brown leather patch sewn into the side of his head's canvas covering. Another brown leather patch, this one longer but more slender, is sewn into his right thigh.
Personality: Sepp is known to be quite skittish and alarmable. Even the out-dated "Boo!" sound is capable of spooking him. He has never desired to be a Soldier nor a Scavenger, as he's very fearful of the world outside Esterham. However, sailing has always appealed to him for an obscure reason. Sepp finds pleasure in peaceful and serene settings. He even enjoys visiting the Archive, where can afford some silence. However, outside of the Archive, he's always running his mouth and striking up conversations, as he's a very sociable stitchpunk. He values honesty and morality.
Strengths & Weaknesses: As a Medic, Sepp is very tolerant and patient with frantic patients. He is even capable of soothing them sometimes, taking their minds off their troubles. He is a considerably trained and experienced Medic, capable of stitching up wounds and replacing damaged body parts quite swiftly. However, he has no fighting experience, and, frankly, he doesn't care for any.
Greatest Fears: Sepp's greatest fears would include spiders, fire, common predators, and primarily the world outside Esterham. He fears all of the predators, the storms, and the hazards that take place outside the walls of Esterham. He is easily spooked by much smaller things, as well. He has a strong appeal toward water, however.
Occupation: Medic
Biography: Like many of the newly arisen stitchpunks, Sepp woke in a box with several wooden figures staring down at him and his peers from above. As though he had just been born, he had trouble standing and walking, and it took an awfully long time to recognize his, at first, meek voice. He and his peers were led away from the box by the wooden figures who'd discovered them. They guided him to the wooden bridge that would once become Esterham. His discoverers explained that they would build a settlement there on the bridge, using resources and materials from the nearby town of Wellisburg. It took a week or so to complete the settlement, and many predators had launched attacks on them in the process (thus sprouting Sepp's fear of the beasts), but they managed to build a secure settlement, which the "elders" (the original stitchpunks) called Esterham. He'd been given an occupation, as well as a name. Unbeknownst to Sepp, he had talked to the shady figure that has made several brief appearances near Esterham as of late. While his hands were piled up with screws, bolts and scraps of metal, Sepp had been pulled aside by a tall and slender stitchpunk with a patch stitched into his head where his second optic would have been located, with two strings also stitched around the circumference of his head. The curious figure had questioned Sepp about their settlement and who his friends were consistently. But, when a voice had called out to Sepp, the figure sank into the shadows, and Sepp never saw him again. While he often hears about this shady figure with a patch next to his one optic, he never suspects it to be the stitchpunk he'd had a brief conversation with, as he has a short term memory.

| (I hate triple posting. But there's something I forgot to add in the appearance. Sepp has a string of cream-colored buttons all along his front torso.) |

| (Mehh... Okay, sure. If you reeeeaaally want to use him, you may. But he can't be in Esterham yet, and he's presumed dead by the other Numbers. But, I'd advise you to use a CS for XIII.) |

Name/Title/Alias: "Red"" Sage
Apparent Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Red is 6'6 and a bit bulky figure. His skeletal frame is bronze with a tint of rusting at his long stubby finger tips. His hands are made of a jagged sharp knife at the end. He usually wears a red cloak shadowing his face. Hence the name "Red". Down the middle of his clock runs a black line stretching from his head all the way to the floor.
Personality: Red is known to be the "quiet" secretive type. Never really expressing his feelings or anything. However, he is known to be adventurous and takes keen interest in learning about the past of Esternham and exploring the outside world.
Strengths & Weaknesses: Reds tall frame and bulky figures makes him stand out among his fellow stitchpunks. He is also a very skilled fighter when the time comes to defend himself. His greatest weakness is his love to explore. He is somehow memorized at the fact of exploring the outside world. Twice he's been caught wandering from work to venture farther into the unknown world.
Greatest Fears: Red's greatest fear is the day he finally dies.
Occupation: Scavenger
Biography: Red was said to be a bit slow growing up as a child. Haven't not developed fully. Also still today it takes him a long time to actually process things through. Though he may not be the brightest, smartest stichpunk there is one thing Red still has look forward. The love of scavenging.

| (Accepted Silver, but keep in mind that stitchpunks don't age. If Red looks and talks like a teenager, then he was made to look and talk like a teenager. He was never a child.) |

Name/Title/Alias: 601 Apparent Age: 30 Gender:Male
Appearance:What covers him is mostly scavenged metal parts that have formed a natural armor for him. He seems just to be adding metal to his orginal fabric, which was a wool like cloth thats a sorta blueish gray, by re-stitching the cloth around the metal. His eyes are mostly black
Personality:Curious and perspective, he observes everything he sees and often judges objects without anyone else's opinion.
Strengths & Weaknesses: Natural armor protects most parts of his body and his perspective eyes helps him find strange items. But his armor ways him down and he often makes rash decisions after inspecting something.
Greatest Fears: People will try to take his metal parts, so he is often scared of Scavengers and Inspectors.
Occupation: Pawner( He whisks traded metal parts for himself)
Biography: A strange stitch-punk, he was put in the Pawner simply because he always gets salvaged metal for less. Time and Time again, some members of Esterham regard him with doubt and suspicion because of what he does to himself. Other Info.: |
