Alright, young smithy's son coming through! I'm an International Incidents main, but I've done P2TM every now and then and I can confidently say my P2TM writing is as good as my International Incidents writing, mostly because I do an ample amount of II character RPing.
Name: Johann Schmidt
Description: I'm going for someone in their late teens, having assisted his blacksmith father in his trade.
Biography: Born to a long line of blacksmiths, Johann was born to Klaus and Anna Schmidt, the youngest of three children (Agatha, Hans, and Johann himself). All three children were all exposed to their father's trade in their tender years, but of all three only Johann showed any semblance of enthusiasm in the trade of blacksmithing.
Agatha was eventually married off to another man, and Hans joined the Imperial military - but Johann stuck behind to help in his father's business, picking up skills as he worked day and night with his father. Tragedy would soon befall the family, however; his father died of old age exacerbated by respiratory illness, with his mother dying of old age as well. The eldest daughter, Agatha, died birthing her second child, and Hans was killed in action.
With no one to turn to in the empire and burdened all of a sudden with adult responsibilities, Johann fell into an episode of depression, nearly neglecting self-care and care of the blacksmithing business he inherited - but it was the Imperial Faith that helped him redeem his soul, and the idea of helping tame The Wild Lands provided him an opportunity to start anew...and possibly discover hidden talents he never knew he had. One can see a diamond in the rough when they see one, and Johann was determined to prove himself one.
Skills:- Blacksmith - Johann had been trained by his father from a young age in the art of blacksmithing, and is capable of making various tools of decent quality.
- Silver Tongue - His father regularly dealt with merchants who offered to sell their goods, and Johann was quick to pick up on the basics of mercantilism, aided by guidance from his father.
- Inventor - A man of insatiable inquisitiveness and analytical thought, Johann always sought to try and improve the quality of his father's work as his father's protege - but harnessing such inquisitiveness and analytical thought will require ample time and careful guidance, if necessary from another mentor figure. (OOC note: Alright, time to use my materials engineering training outside the classroom lmao)
