✖Physical Description✖:
”Staying the same for long becomes a little boring.”
Steel can be idyllically described as being a prime example of the half-breed nature of those born on the border of Elven and Human cultures. She is possessed of a body which could be described as lithe upon first glance but appears much stockier, as well as having rather smooth white skin considering that her trade has given her rather tough and calloused hands by comparison. Her skin is pale and contrasts somewhat with her golden short and spiky hair, punctuated by a few braids that hang down past her shoulders and plaits here and there across her head. While her hair is usually kept just down to her neck she sometimes lets the braids go further and colours parts of her hair with streaks of bright contrasting colours, and the more that have appeared since the day before the more bored she’s clearly been. She stands somewhat average in height at 5’ 3” and weighs around 105lbs.
✖ Birthmark/Piercing/Tattoo/Scar/Noticeable Features ✖:
”Not all scars run skin deep, but maybe it’s the ones you can’t see that make us beautiful”
Amelia has a few scars on each cheek, faint triangular cuts likely made from a knife of some sort. Her ears contain a few piercings of different shapes and sizes from one or two rings to small perfectly cut gemstones which sparkle when she smiles. Her eyes are bright and a faint lilac in colour, though with a sprinkling of silver around the edges. Also as mentioned above she has a habit of dying her hair colour randomly when bored and can sometimes come out with rather outlandish colours. She has a few intricate tattoos around her hip as well as a few elsewhere, including her upper back.
✖ Physical Evaluation ✖:
”Picture of health I am.”
WIP
✖ Former Residence ✖:
”Less said about where I comes from the better.”
N/A
✖ Family/Relatives ✖:
”Aye, canny they were. Me folks, can’t fault em for being who they were.”
Mother was a haughty elf with a love of magic and her father was a dabbler in all thinks mechanical.
✖ Friends/Comrades ✖:
”If you can’t walk, you crawl. And If you can’t do that, well you know.”
Steel has a friend in almost every port, either in the local pub or the smithy depending on the port.
✖ Enemies ✖:
”Enemies? What could they possibly want with little ol’ Me?”
Despite her moderate fame within the various engineering societies across the world she has rarely managed to cultivate any active enemies.
✖ Rivals ✖:
”I’ve certainly had a few try to outdo me, ain’t seen one manage it.”
She’s got a bit of a reputation when it comes to tinkering and improving on existing designs, and has been on the move pretty much all of her life to make it harder for people to copy her work, at least before she’s pocketed the credit for it.
✖ Organisations/Tribes/Clans ✖:
”They’re a bunch of stuffy idiots in comfy armchairs. I got myself one and I can see the appeal.”
Engineering Guilds in a few major cities have her penned as a member, as do the Guild of Cunning Artificers.
✖ Former Affiliations ✖:
”I gets about so I does, but I don’t stay too long usually.”
N/A
✖ Personality ✖:
”People always confuse personality with character, forgetting that a difference exists.”
Steel can at best be described as somewhat distracted and at worst as a disinterested and antagonistic inventor. She is usually quite jovial and warm, inviting others for a drink and more but when she’s interested in something and ideas are forming she’d probably gut anyone who came between her and focusing on said ideas.

✖ Racial ✖:
”Can you keep a secret? Good, cause so can I.”
Changeling - A creature known as the halfbreed offspring of Doppelgängers, changelings are viewed with a similar distrust and hate as their equally rare parentage. Despite having become a race in their own right rather than simply the result of true shapeshifters and humans they are still rare to the point that they can be viewed as perhaps one in a million, literally. They are able to alter their appearance perfectly, though it takes a great deal of practise and study in order to mimic others so they often develop their own persona’s unlike Doppelgängers who can read people’s thoughts and imitate them without fault. Due to this connection the rare shapeshifters are seen as a threat to almost every government or holding across the world and any who are discovered tend to be dealt with swiftly and harshly, similarly so with Changelings despite their complete lack of interest in politics whatsoever. As such Steel has created a plethora of personas to protect herself and remains Amelia because she is safe and her true nature unknown to the others, and has kept her true name secret.
✖ Equipment ✖:
”A good set of tools are a girl’s best friend. And your worst enemy.”
Attire
Amelia is often seen wearing hardwearing leather armour, sometimes revealing and others not so much. But when in the engine room she tends to opt for a little thicker protection more often than not. She wears a pair of green tinted goggles either on her head or around her neck as well. Also owns a top hat for when she wants to go over the top to annoy people. She often has a pencil tucked behind one ear so she can better note ideas that occur to her on the go. Over her clothes she tends to wear a long and rather ornate leather trench coat with reinforced padding to protect against incoming projectiles and fire, it also contains a multitude of pockets and such for mechanisms and weapons including a couple of extradimensional spaces.
Protection
While her armour is toughened to protect her she has still engraved it and her weapons with runes of protection against fire and the like in order to ensure her safety should all hell break loose in her domain.
Weapons
Longsword and knife - She keeps a mithril longsword strapped across her back most of the time with a few runes cut into the metal, a twin knife to this blade hangs at her hip.
Crossbow - Amelia has a small hand loaded light crossbow that she keeps to hand should she need it.
Staffs, Wands and other toys - When on the move she’ll strap a quiver filled with a selection of magical and technological weapons ranging from one shot bombs or guns to staves of magical spells that she’s made herself for such situations and her workshop is littered with various half-finished projects.
Clothing
✖ History ✖:
”Not everyone’s life is an open book, and even then some books shut mighty hard.”
The engineer of the Phoenix has plenty of stories of her life before joining the crew, some sounding a little tall when first heard but after a while her actions tend to sway doubters of her prowess. With feats such as membership in mechanist guilds and gatherings from one side of the world to the other that very few could ever manage she has become somewhat of a mystery to many who’ve wanted to work with her, with some titles and honours passing down from past members who’ve seen something special in the girl.
A member of the crew for a good long while now, almost as long as the captain himself she’s pretty much replaced every inch of their little ship at least once or twice. And will fight anyone who dares say a bad word against the Phoenix.
