Description

Personality

Astaron is very enthusiastic about his work. He has many small inventions scattered throughout his workshop that he may never have any use for. He is generally wary about taking on commissions, unless you can get him talking about the idea or concept behind the project, in which case he tends to forget that he said he wouldn't do it in the first place.
Astaron has a failing that is common to many Vampires: Rather severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, which only kicks in in specific situations. For example, if someone were to empty a bag of poppy seeds out in front of Astaron's grave (which is kept dug open in the back of his workshop), he generally ends up staying up all night counting the seeds. He also has an unreasoning fear of crossing running water.
Besides that, Astaron is generally fairly easy to get along with, as long as you're willing to forgive his eccentricity, and he's not hungry.
One thing that does get on his nerve is a lot of these upstart new breeds of so-called 'Vampires' that are floating around these days.
In general, he's very polite.

Equipment

Astaron dresses generally in varying shades of brown clothes, which he doesn't mind getting dirty. He wears a pair of welding goggles across his forehead, and wears a toolbelt that has a variety of tools that he uses in his work: Wrenches, hammers, etcetera.
He owns a workshop near the center of Anastor, and has lived there since before everyone decided it was cool. Hell, he's been a vampire since before everyone decided it was cool.
One project that he has been working on for some time now is a Steam-powered suit of walking armour that he might be able to encase himself in in order to walk around during the daylight. Not that he wants to walk around during the daylight, he just wants to see if it can be done.
His living quarters are located in the back of his workshop, mainly consisting of his grave + coffin, his wardrobe, and a couple safes for his personal possessions. He's had quite a few years to amass wealth, so he generally doesn't need to worry about income. He's also had quite a few years to set up booby traps for prospective burglars sneaking around the place during daylight hours. Hell, he's had quite a few years in general.
