Eryx Voss

Full Name: Eryx Voss Nicknames: “Gearheart,” “Voss,” “K.” Reason behind nicknames: • Gearheart – earned among the guilds for his ability to bring machinery to life as if it had a soul; also a teasing nod to his hidden romantic streak. • Voss – a short, casual form used by close friends or fellow engineers. • K – used by those he deeply trusts, as it’s what his late partner used to call him. Gender: Male Sexuality: Bisexual (leans toward women but easily forms deep emotional bonds regardless of gender) Height: 6’1” (185 cm) Weight: 84 kg (muscular lean build; strong from years of manual work and augment maintenance) Age: 29 Physical Age: Late 20s (appears slightly older due to stress, smoke, and long nights in the workshop) Birthday: 14th Frostveil (equivalent to late winter) Zodiac (based on world’s or Earth’s): Capricorn, practical, loyal, hardworking, yet quietly yearning for connection and love. Languages: • Common (Trade Tongue of Nethrak) – fluent • Guildcant – a coded mechanic’s dialect used in Dravnos’ underground markets • Old Altherian – basic reading ability (self-taught from scavenged manuals)

Physical Body type: Lean but defined; wiry muscle from long hours working with tools and machines rather than weight training. Ethnicity: Nethraki-born; features reflect the mixed, industrial population of Dravnos with faint traces of Altherian ancestry. Dominant hand: Right, though ambidextrous with mechanical tools. Scars, marks, blemishes: Thin scar along his jawline, several burns on his forearms, and faint welding marks across his left shoulder. Reasons behind scars, marks, blemishes: The jaw scar came from a close-quarters street fight during a supply raid; the burns are from early workshop accidents and failed prototype tests; the welding marks are from a cybernetic graft replacement he performed on himself. Tattoos: A mechanical raven clutching a cog on his shoulder, surrounded by script that reads “Glory in ruin.” Smaller ink along his ribs of schematic lines and runic symbols — part art, part functional diagrams. Piercings: One in his left ear, a simple dark stud; another small one at his brow, often hidden by hair. Eye colour: Steel-gray with faint bronze flecks that catch light like molten metal. Eye shape: Slightly hooded, giving him a tired or contemplative expression. Hair colour: Black with a subtle bluish sheen under light. Hair length: Medium-short, long enough to fall across his eyes but cropped at the nape. Hairstyle: Tousled and uneven, often damp or slicked back when he’s working; strands fall forward naturally. Face shape: Angular with a sharp jaw, straight nose, and high cheekbones softened by exhaustion rather than gentleness. Skintone: Light olive with a faint ashen undertone from workshop grime and the industrial air of Dravnos.

Adulthood Occupation: Mechanic-inventor and freelance weaponsmith; known for creating compact gadgets and adaptive prosthetics for guild clients. Residence: A repurposed workshop loft in the lower district of Dravnos; cluttered with half-finished machines, warm lights, and old records. Roommates: None permanently, though a stray mechanical crow often keeps him company. Relationship history: Few but meaningful relationships; tends to fall hard and fast, then retreat when things get complicated. Relationship status: Single, still quietly haunted by his last breakup. Financial status: Modest but steady; enough to live comfortably by Nethrak standards, mostly reinvested into materials and tools. Drivers licence: Holds a valid guild permit to operate light transport vehicles and drones. Criminal record: Minor infractions—unauthorised tech trading and resisting guild inspection; nothing violent or capital. Top/switch/bottom: Switch Turn ons:
• Competence and skill — he finds someone working deftly with tools or magic incredibly attractive.
• Quiet intensity — people who carry themselves with strength or quiet confidence draw him in.
• Emotional honesty beneath a guarded exterior.
• Physical contact that feels grounded — hands on machinery-stained skin, shared silences, small gestures that say more than words.
• Subtle power dynamics, not theatrical dominance — he likes tension and trust, not bravado. Turn offs:
• Arrogance without substance.
• People who talk more than they act.
• Manipulation or dishonesty.
• Excessive dependence — he respects strength and autonomy.
• Disrespect for his craft or boundaries. Genitalia length: 8.5 inches Genitalia details: not circumcised and slightly curved Kinks: • Power exchange built on mutual trust, not control for control’s sake.
• Light restraint (mechanical or improvised — he often uses his environment creatively).
• Sensory play, especially with heat and cold (a byproduct of working with metal and magic).
• Deep emotional intensity during intimacy — he craves connection even if he doesn’t admit it easily. What they look for in a lover: Someone who meets him as an equal — skilled, sharp, and unafraid of the industrial chaos he lives in. He values quiet loyalty, shared craft or purpose, and someone who can break through his emotional defenses without demanding he give everything at once. A partner who can challenge him intellectually, stand their ground, and offer rare moments of softness in a hard world is what ultimately captivates him.

Extras Music taste: Industrial rock, ambient electronica, and the occasional acoustic ballad; he likes songs with mechanical rhythm but emotional lyrics. Aesthetic: Urban cyberpunk meets utilitarian practicality; dark clothing layered with straps, worn leather, and metal accents. His gear is always slightly scuffed but functional. Hobbies: Building gadgets from scrap, modifying old music players, late-night tinkering, sketching new designs on walls or schematics, and people-watching in crowded marketplaces. Friends: Fellow mechanics, a street medic named Ryn, and a courier who trades him rare components. Close friends: Ryn (the medic) and a former guildmate named Sol, who helped him through his worst injury. Habits: Runs a hand through his hair when thinking; mutters equations under his breath; forgets to eat when deep in a project; keeps sentimental items like broken tools or scraps from old lovers. Fears: Losing his hands or the ability to build; emotional rejection; being controlled by guilds or authority again. Confidence scale: 7/10 — confident in his craft and logic, but uneasy about emotional vulnerability or social situations outside of work. Emotionally: Guarded but deeply sensitive; he feels emotions intensely yet hides them behind sarcasm or dry humour. Any illnesses (mental or physical. Yes or no): Yes — chronic insomnia and mild nerve pain in his augmented arm. Vulnerabilities: Tends to overwork to avoid loneliness; easily attached to people who show genuine care; struggles to ask for help. Most prominent personality trait: Quiet determination — a mix of resilience and introspection that keeps him pushing forward no matter how bleak things seem. Positive: Loyal, creative, protective, deeply romantic when he lets someone in. Negative: Withdrawn, self-destructive tendencies, emotionally avoidant, and often mistrustful of authority.
