Zamrud Permata Bahasa

Name: Zamrud Permata Bahasa
Gender: Male
Race: Puros
-Dexterity: Passive; Because of your opposable thumbs, you have fine control with your hands. Pick a single, specific, non-combat action that requires fine movement, such as lockpicking, coin tricks, repairing things, and so on. Once per session, you can reroll a failed attempt at that action. (Cooking / chemistry)
-Alleycat: Instant; DC 4; Every alleycat develops a keen sense of where he or she should look for potential attackers. You can roll this to identify places in your immediate surroundings that would be relevant in combat, such as ambush spots, choke points, and good escape routes. Higher rolls can even anticipate incoming attacks.

Appearance: Zamrud is an average-sized, lean Puros with auburn, stripped fur, with wide green eyes (for which he was named) that glow faintly in the dark due to his mutation. He carries on him at all times a pair of bandoliers loaded with various potions to use for combat, as well as a satchel containing various ingredients and tools for travel in the Outlands over his Mage's Armorsuit.
Personality: He demonstrates a polite, well-mannered demeanor with an almost icy, collected calmness, but has shown himself to be friendly and warm to those he considers close. He is analytical and thinks everything through logically first, often falling to cold and brutal algebra in his decisions. He is unusually courteous to commoners for a noble, mainly as he sees all denizens of Ironcastle, regardless of the Stratum, as equally distant to the Family of Iron, of which he almost has a deified admiration of. Insults towards the Family of Iron in particular anger him to the point of acting irrationally or lashing out.

Class/Skills: Inventor [Alchemist/Smith]
-Alchemist Fire: recharge 1, ranged; Concoct a flame that produces virulent smoke and can latch onto anything, even water. Deals damage and gives +1 to all skills against that target next turn. On Crit this has the Fire Elementalist effect.
-Appraise: instant; Determine the number of remaining hits and wounds on an enemy or possibly a weakness. More powerful enemies may be harder to Appraise. Out of combat, quickly determine value of objects, study mechanisms and documents, size up other beings, etc,.
-Fault Point: recharge 3, weapon; You can notice the imperfections in anything from your years of crafting. Strike at a foes gear, either their weapon or armor, abusing these faults to weaken them and applying a stack of Faulty. Each stack lowers the quality of a weapon by 1 or lowers the damage reduction a foe has by 1 on armor. Once the gear reaches 3 stacks it will be destroyed. On Crit, or when the gear is broken, this will deal damage (Damage on break will be based on the roll that applied the 3rd stack). Can be used out of combat to break most average materials.
-Distill Life: recharge 2, spell; Create three Health Potions that restore 3 hits each, and on Crit also restore one wound. You may distribute these freely to nearby party members on cast, at any time after. Consuming a potion is an Instant Automatic action. Non-Alchemists can only hold one Health Potion at a time.
-Flux Accelerator: passive; You may use skills that are on recharge. If you do so, you lose Hits hits equal to the remaining recharge, and then the recharge resets. If you know Acid Spray, it gains a +1 if cast on recharge.

Special Talent: Zamrud gains a +1 bonus to any roll against a target he has Appraised successfully, +1 to Appraise
Trained Talent: Zamrud is a trained researcher and teacher, gaining a +2 bonus to rolls meant to educate either himself or others.

Background:
-Zamrud Permata Bahasa was raised within one of the branch families of the noble Bahasa's, House Permata.

In his studies Zamrud steeled himself into a cool, serious demeanor to uphold his family's tradition, excelling at his studies and gaining a vast number of skills for both learning and sharing knowledge with the ones he would be trusted to oversee. Though initially distant, Zamrud developed a fondness for the royals he served, offering them his services dutifully as an advisor, mentor, nanny, courier, agent, or even friend.
