Background

Five-Pointed-Eye has always been an industrious fellow. A prodigy at building things (especially magitechnical things) since an early age, he created a small scale warstrider during his adolescent years, which was what caused his previous incarnation's Lunar mate to notice he had returned. Since then, he has been under her tutelage, eventually groomed for rulership of Aquarius District-9, his previous incarnation's city state. Most notable, Five was one of the primary magitech engineers during Operation Wyldhand, having designed a great deal of the static defenses that were tested during the exercise. He is reputed to have had a nonplussed reaction to the loss of mortal lives during the event, though his few personal friends believe otherwise. Of course, he is also rumored to place his secret projects above the lives of mortals as well...

Appearance

Five-Pointed-Eye is not a man of elegant tastes, his style of dress being no exception to this rule. His attire consists of a technician's many-pocketted pants, a sturdy pair of metal-toed boots, a simple royal blue shirt, and of course a belt of tools and other trappings of his favorite profession. He keeps his brown hair short and neatly trimmed, and bears a pale complexion due to being extremely introverted.
