Ancient Toolkit: An interesting keepsake Gert inherited from his ancestors, this set of ancient yet still useful equipment provides bonuses to repairing ship parts. It appears to have a greater affect on magical components.

Description:
Gert is a generally amicable and likable person, but likes working with machinery so much that when he is working he doesn't really have much time to talk to real people, without being totally distracted. He has a long, brown beard, and wears overalls and other tough clothing in his line of work. He does make time to talk to demons, though, finding them fascinating. If he's got nothing else to do, he will talk to people, but he fumbles often in social situations. He seems at least competent at using weapons, but swings them a tad too freely, a testament to his mining days.

Backstory:
Gert grew up on one of the huge walking cities on the surface of Ynidus, brought up by his miner father and a mother who had associations with the supernatural. He, as a child, often watched her mother working with the demons and spirits, and his mother, enthusiastic to have a eager and willing learner (for once), taught him the ropes of talking to demons with gusto. He always had a fondness for those creatures of the other world, so free in comparison to him. His father managed to somehow not get eaten by any wyrms in his line of work, surviving to the pensioning age before dying (too early, they say) of multiple stresses.

Gert Firebrand used to work in the mines in Ynidus, but was always fascinated with machinery more then the treasures that could be found beneath the surface of Ynidus, especially after a wyrm attack that took most of the people he knew to the next life. He decisively stopped working in the mining business and decided that any job would be better than what he had then. He caught the next ship off the planet and spent some time trying to find a job that would put him nowhere near the mines of Ynidus, which he now considered a haunted place. His mother bid him a tearful farewell, and passed on some last scraps of information about talking to demons before he left.

Looking for his place among the worlds, Gert took a spot upon this ship, partially because he was curious, and partially so he could have a stable(ish?) job. Perhaps he would see what it was like to be a demon.
