Short Bio/Description: Nilyin Tuun stands three-and-a-half feet tall and weights forty-three pounds. Deep spun-gold hair seems to erupt from his head. His complexion is fitting to his near-cloistered upbringing; instead of the deep tan his race's flesh shows, his is paler than the norm of his breed. Ice-blue eyes that spark with wonderment seem to spring forth from his face, causing most to notice them first and foremost.

"Rattleclank", his given nickname, comes from his tinkering. Indeed, much of which he assists in making works well, sometimes better than when it started, but often there's a noise, sound, or some other oddity that refuses to be silent about his crafting. A bane to stealthy rogues, to be sure.

Having training by the clergy, he weilds two of his god's domains. Earth, for its precious ore to be smelted and built into inventions, and Knowledge, for harnessing ancient lore, continuing on projects that were stopped for some old, unknown reason. Although the light hammer is a perferred combattive device, the pale gnome finds himself without the martial training for this item, and instead perfers the complex workings of the crossbow.

His gears turn to figure out why and how with just about anything. This encompasses more than simply the mechanical; Nilyin loves bringing his academical pursuits to anything that has parts and runs as a whole. For example, adventuring. "Rattleclank" enjoys the thrill of adventure, to many ends. A party is like cogs in a clock, and he likes to see himself as not only another widget, but also as a grease to keep everything running smoothly.

His ultimate goal is to create something so wonderful, so incredible, that perhaps one day everyone will own one of his inventions and use it regularly. He knows the fame may be fleeting, and some may forget where its origins lie, but so long as what he has made is used (and thanks is given to Goran for it), Nilyin will be more than satisfied.

That is, until, he gets another idea for something even better.
-----
1. I have read and understand Goran's dogma; I know that Nilyin will never knowingly work with agents his god is enemies with, and will show followers of his allies the respect they deserve.
-----
2. His devotion to Goran is thorough, and he staunchly believes in improvisation; a tool can be used to do several jobs, and often times, the thing viewed most worthless by many can be just the right thing to bring success when all that can be seen is failure. The dogma that he least focuses on is sacrifices for science. Sometimes the wrong thing is tossed aside, and often times, it can be the key factor, the missing link in the chain... and it's far too late to do anything about it once it's broken and gone. Sacrifice is foolish unless you know exactly what you're ridding yourself of.
-----
3. Nilyin never took martial training to further his knowledge on how to turn the light hammer into an item of pain. To this end, he will favor a simpler weapon for purposes of defending himself. He still will carry the hammer, but only as an item of repair, crafting or inventing... not as a tool of war.
