[seru_ame]

Name
Gambit Nightshade Micae

Gender
Male

Age
23

Profession
Clockwork Engineer (Steampunk)

Alignment
Chaotic Neutral

Appearance
Where Ruse is short, Gambit is tall- he stands at 6'2", and weighs 172 lbs, most of which is lean muscle. He has tanned skin, with pale brown, almost yellow eyes, and long, dark hair, which lightens in the summer to have reddish highlights, particularly near the tips; it is almost always kept in a leather thong. On the back of his neck, usually covered by his ponytail, is a tribal style tattoo, from his travels into the deserts. It appears to be a stylized sun, about three inches at its widest point. His left ear is also pierced, with a small silver stud.

In the matter of clothing, Gambit dresses respectably enough in a nice vest over a long, loose sleeved shirt with a pair of slacks and men's pumps. He also has a pocket watch, which he made himself, and a small clockwork deer, which seems oddly... lifelike and almost like it has a personality of its own.

History
Gambit was raised with his sister until his thirteenth birthday, and, like her, followed in his parent's footsteps- somewhat. He was, at that tender age, apprenticed to a watchmaker who took him abroad. While he and his master gallivanted about the world, he was exposed to a great number of styles of art and other forms of clockwork, and even a bit of steamworks. Around his 19th birthday, he was returned to his family, and began to make small clockwork creatures to let his father sell.

When he turned 21, however, something odd began to happen with some of his steam and clockwork combinations. They sometimes began to move on their own, and the way they moved seemed to react to his moods. He got complaints of fear from some of his father's buyers, and, after a bit, his father had the creatures quietly refunded, and disassembled. From then on, Gambit was not allowed to make creatures to sell, although he still has his small deer, a tiny raven, and a pudgy hippo. These he keeps in his apartment, secreted away from judging peers. He didn't know that these had been the stirrings of his magic, signs of his truer calling...

Personality
A somewhat whimsical soul, Gambit enjoys building art from metal, painting, and is prone to making poetic pieces when the mood suits him. However, he is quite focused and passionate when it comes to his sister's protection, and doesn't take a liking to many men around her, as is proper for somebody of his position in his family.

When he has free time, Gambit can be found in his library, his stables, or, most likely, in his workshop, shaping metal.

Relationships
With his Father- Somewhat strained, due to the oddness that came from two years prior.
With his mother- Benign, but somewhat distant- she seems unaware of her son's heritage as a hedgewitch, but his father keeps them somewhat apart.
With Ruse- his closest friend, his baby sister is somebody he would kill to protect.

Plots This Character is Open For
Anything and everything.

Other information
His magic manifests in metalworks, his emotions being cast onto the creatures. They don't react strongly- he hasn't mastered anything just yet, nor does he really know why that's been happening, although he has heard of some rumors...
