Candi, everyone, I apologize that I've taken so long with this one. Let me know how I can/need to refine this.
I'm also not clear on how to proceed with steps four and five.
Name: Daclish Laclure
Concept: Lurcher Tinkerer
Race & gender: Skaa male
Age: 20
Appearance: Daclish is a man of moderate height with a light brown complexion, dark wavy hair, and bright blue eyes. He disdains his striking appearance, and so he's usually grimy, slouching, and unkempt with anything between stubble to a scraggly beard, depending on how long it's been since he's needed to impress a potential employer.
1. Why did you join the crew? (This will become your "Drive" trait)
To revenge myself on Alexandre de Chappotin, the plantation owner who used and discarded my mother, aunt, and sisters. My mother had been his favorite in her youth, and he used her frequently to warm his bed, siring two girls (my sisters, 2 and 4 years older than me) and then me. Once I was born, he stopped taking her to bed for a while, though she continued to get preferential treatment. While I was a baby, he took my aunt to his bed. Her mind eventually snapped, and her resultant seizures got bad enough that he kicked her out and took my mother back to his bed when I was four. By the time I was ten, the ravages of time and abuse were showing on my mother's features, and he started taking my sisters to bed instead, at first separately, then together. He continued to be kind to us during the day, still referring to my mother as his "pearl," but he neglected her more and more while lavishing disgusting attention on my sisters, who started going mad. When my mother died of a wasting sickness years later, my sisters committed suicide, and I fled the plantation.
de Chappotin is a close friend to Letourneau; my desire to get back at de Chappotin made me leap at the chance to hurt another plantation owner.
2. How did you live before you joined the crew? (This will become your "Profession" trait)
Like many Skaa, I was born on a plantation. Mine was owned by the noble Alexandre de Chappotin. Early on, I demonstrated a facility for operating the simple machines used in the farming operations on the plantation. So I worked in various jobs - still operator, bellows pusher, mill winch lugger, well capstan turner, ditch digger, plumber - and in each I gleaned a bit more knowledge about the mechanics of gravity, weights, measures, and so on. This fascinated me, and gave me something to focus on other than the sexual abuse at his hands. When I fled, I found odd jobs I could do in factories.
3. What special skill do you bring to the crew? (This will become your "Speciality" trait)
I am good at crafting and operating mechanisms.
4. What is your most distinctive feature? (This will become your "Feature" trait)
A strong resemblance to Alexandre de Chappotin: I can easily pass as him under casual inspection.
5. How do other people describe your personality? (This will become your "Personality" trait)
Quiet, brooding, laconic
Each of the next 3 questions will be accompanied by a degree - Strong, Average and Weak. You must use each degree once (so one question will be "Strong", one will be "Average", and one will be "Weak").
6. Do you have any special powers (like Allomancy or Feruchemy)?
- Average (Misting - 1 Allomantic Metal) - Lurcher
7. Are you especially fit, smart or charismatic?
- Strong (exceptional in 2 or more areas): physically fit, mentally alert, and handsome
8. Are you well-off, or do you struggle to get by?
- Weak (abundance of none of these) - I am homeless, finding shelter where I can, often in exchange for some job
9. What is the worst thing that has ever happened to you? (this will become your "Tragedy")
Worse even than finding his mother and sisters dead, was the realization that came later, that Alexandre de Chappotin was my father, and that I have much of his personality.
10. What do you believe is your ultimate purpose? (this will become your "Destiny")
To free the Skaa.
