An alchemist with a passion...
Brice has a passion for his work and itās because he actively works his passion as a career that he is a generally happy fellow. He doesnāt go out of his way to make friends but is willing to partner with associates that would benefit his work. He is decisive and blunt. He is pride of the strong attributes that he possesses but has no shame to admit his weaknesses and back down when thereās no hope. He is a complete realist. Violence is never his first choice but has learned to cope with it in cases of defending himself and his allies. It is very practical to possess a skill to defend yourself which is why he has gone out of his way to take sharpshooting as a hobby. He even incorporates his gunning skill into his designs and products. Brice is not a fan of war, especially when Farmina took over his home town. He supports the end to the war and Farminaās reign of conquest, though never actually pictured himself contributing to battle against the forces and end it with his own hands.
Brice carries a small but thick book that serves as a āfield guideā to artifacts, raw materials, and magical items. He also has maps of various parts of the globe. He carries both a handgun and sniper rifle. His firearms can utilize bullets but he also has an adaptor for his weapons to allow to fire magical energy with an equipped magic resource.
Brice was born and raised most of his life in Hensia. Son of an inventor and a mage, Brice was exposed to aspects of both technology and magic. He spent most of his childhood in his fatherās studies, with little choice but to become a bookworm and pas the time reading up on science, geography, and the geology and interaction of the world and magic. Though when he wasnāt reading he was hanging out with a close friend who was the daughter of a desert hunter. Getting to know his friend and her family, he was introduced to handling firearms and would practice with his friend on the edge of the city, target practicing.
By the time Brice was 15, he was able to become more involved with his fatherās work. IT started off with him running errands to collect supplies for his father from across town. Eventually with the contacts that both him and his father have collect, he started travelling outside the city by airship to collect rarer and rarer materials. Eventually Brice was partaking on expeditions across the edges of the continent on a regular basis. He was loving his work. But soon Farmina was raging war and eventually took over Hensia. Brice was out of the city when Hensia was conquered and never was able to return. Luckily he had received word that his father had escaped in time out of Farminaās territories. Brice considered working for Farmina but that would just mean becoming a slave. Despite the war, Brice has continued to provide his professional services.
