Kingdom of Dirkshire

Pip is a wiry, agile boy with a mop of untidy brown hair and bright, curious eyes that sparkle with intelligence. He wears a patchwork of clothes, much too big for him, belted at the waist and festooned with pockets and pouches filled with tools and trinkets. Around his neck hangs a small, intricately crafted mechanical pendant, a gift from Madam Gearhart, his most treasured possession. His hands are always stained with oil and dirt, a testament to his relentless tinkering.

Inquisitively resourceful, unshakably optimistic, fiercely loyal, surprisingly brave

Pip was found as a toddler wandering the dangerous alleys of The Gutters, his parents victims to the merciless cogrot. Rescued by Madam Gearhart, he grew up in the Clockwork Orphanage, a place that became both his home and his playground. Surrounded by the remnants of gnomish technology and Madam Gearhart's tutelage, Pip developed an uncanny knack for mechanics and invention, often scavenging the Scrapyard for parts to tinker with. Despite the harshness of his environment, Pip's spirit remained unbroken, his heart filled with dreams of venturing into the Cogdeep to uncover its secrets and find a cure for cogrot, proving to himself and the world that even the smallest cog can change the future. His relationships in The Gutters are varied; he is known and loved by many for his helpful nature and mechanical ingenuity but is also naively unaware of the darker intentions of some of the Gutters' inhabitants.
