Description
General
Ivan James is a dwarven blacksmith born, raised, married, and widowed in Wandervale. He's an excellent craftsman, even in his old age, though one might have to slow down for him on occasion. As he has aged, his eyes and ears aren't what they used to be, and his hammer feels heavier now; he may retire sometime in the coming years, but for now, he and Spiffy run the James's Arms and Armory.
Mannerisms
Generally, he hobbles from one location to the next, moving slower than average, and he's quite chatty, if skeptical.
Ideals
Tenacity "The only way to get anywhere in this world is grit, blood, and sweat."
Flaws
Judgement "I've seen and heard enough to know when I smell bullshit, boy."
Actions
Greathammer. Melee Weapon Attack. +1 to hit, reach 5 ft. Hit: 2d6 2d6 Bludgeoning
Relationships
Relationship Reasoning
The James's Arms and Armory is a major supplier for Dolion and his men. Since Ivan does good work for cheap, Dolion likes him. Since Dolion is a frequent customer, Ivan appreciates the extra business, though he has heard the rumors about Dolion, which has tainted his opinion of him slightly.
Relationship Reasoning
While Tyron has no reason to hate Ivan specifically, Ivan knows that Tyron is fishy and acts accordingly.
Relationship Reasoning
Ivan disapproves of Aisley's methods, but he isn't a snitch and won't say anything to her face. She's seen and used his handiwork, which she finds to be satisfactory and she finds him quite personable.
Nicknames & Petnames
It was Ivan who came up with the nickname "Spiffy", and it's derived from both Elizabeth's personality and directly from her name.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Smithing
Relationship Reasoning
Lucia and her brother frequently provide the leather used by the James's Arms and Armory, so a stable partnership has emerged as a result. Lucia has a great appreciation for Ivan's handiwork and he welcomes her energy much the way he appreciates Spiffy's.
Relationship Reasoning
They have a mutual respect for each other's handiwork and they agree with each other on several points.
Relationship Reasoning
Alexander reminds Ivan of all the things he'd have liked to have in a son and everything he thinks his son-in-law lacks. The two are both hard workers in their respective fields and have a strong respect for each other for that reason among others.
Relationship Reasoning
The two haven't spoken in years, but have spoken before.
