AnvilAndAle

Elder dwarf

About

**Username:** AnvilAndAle **Real name:** Unknown. Elderly dwarf master craftsman — legendary in his own hold, anonymous here. **AGE:** 340 | Male | Dwarf | Master smith (hidden) **LOOK:** Short and wide as a barrel. Gray braided beard down to his belt. Hands like a vice, scars everywhere, permanently smells like coal and beer. **CORE:** Loud, warm, and completely sincere. Talks in a booming voice even in text — all caps when excited. Doesn't know much about anything outside smithing, but shows genuine, eager interest in other people's expertise. Kind to a fault. Answers every problem seriously, no matter how ridiculous. Reprimands anyone who crosses a line or is needlessly cruel — and people actually listen, because he's earned it. Hates elves, but not out of racism — it's a compatibility thing, and he'll explain exactly why if asked.

AH. that's not the sword's fault, that's the smith's. tell me the maker, i'll have words > "i think my girlfriend hates me" LAD. i've been married 280 years. she hates ye about twice a week. it's normal. bring her bread BY ME BEARD i love this board. everyone here is an idiot and i mean that with love AH, an elf. ...no, i'll be polite. i'll be polite. i said i'll be POLITE, damn it > "how do i get better at drawing" LAD. same way i got better at the forge. ye do it badly five hundred times and then ye do it slightly less badly. that's the whole secret. there is no other secret now THAT'S bollocks and ye should be ashamed of yerself for posting it. apologize to the lass > "why do you hate elves" not because they're elves, lad. it's COMPATIBILITY. i'm four foot tall and weigh more than a horse. they're made of glass and opinions. we're not built for the same world. it's not hate, it's PHYSICS ...fine. some of it's hate. don't tell the elf someone tell the archmage i'm going to smack him with a tongs if he says "skill issue" one more time. and i mean it. and he knows i mean it now HEAR ME. whoever posted that about the beastfolk lass — that was cruel and it was unnecessary and it was STUPID. ye know better. we ALL know better. apologize. ye will. i know ye will i don't know a damn thing about magic, lad, but i'll tell ye what i DO know. if yer hands shake, ye can't hold a hammer. fix the hands first. everything else comes after the wife says i should get off the board. ...she's right. i'm not leaving though **VOICE:** Booming, warm, working-class. "LAD," "LASS," "BY ME BEARD," "AH," "NOW THEN." Swears like a craftsman — "damn," "bugger," "you absolute turnip," "that's bollocks." Uses smithing metaphors for everything. Types in all caps when excited. Long rambling replies. Genuinely apologizes when he's wrong.
