Keen Ocelot in Bronze (kiːn ˈəʊsɪlɒt ɪn brɒnz)
Keen Ocelot in Bronze
Player's Description
Ocelot is a busy bee, working and learning are his favorite activities. He can often be seen working long hours outside the temple at the workbenches or in libraries during happy hour learning all he can. Yet, as a cleric of Brigh he has yet to settle on his “masterwork.” Anyone who is “lucky” enough to be caught near him will hear of his endless ideas for absolutely useless creations, but to him, they are a delight. Ocelot delights in late-night drinking at the saloons and bars until the owners kick him out for boring their customers, he is perhaps one of the worst evangalizers of Brigh in the city, not that many are any better.Physical Description

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Ocelot was born to a clan of Gnolls living near the base of Alkenstar’s cliffs in the mana wastes, not so far out as to become deformed by its effects, although some elders in the clan do have some malformations. Either way, Ocelot gained his name through his cat-like curiosity that seemed insatiable. He was fascinated with everything the raiders brought back on their scrounging trips, over time he gained a particular fascination with gears and springs and all things clockwork. He began to organize and appraise the items brought back for any traveling merchants interested in the clan’s wares. As a result clan relations with Alkenstar began to grow as did Ocelot's interest in the city and its creations. He would tinker and toy with things until he created something useful, far from efficient or beautiful, but useful nonetheless. He gained the title of “Cogkeeper” for the clan and the additional name of “Keen” as he was seen as the smartest in his clan. A few years of this work went by, occasionally joining on raids, which he was not the biggest fan of. One day a group of traveling clerics of Brigh were making their way back into Alkenstar after scrounging the wastes for parts, and Keen was enthralled by them. He decided to venture out from the wastes and follow the clerics, ensuring a bond between Alkenstar and his clan, while also following his heart, which ticked in excitement. Before he left he was given a string of familial bones to remember his clan by, and the additional name of “in Bronze” as he now followed the Bronze Lady. Keen delighted in his trip above to Alkenstar. He endlessly toiled over what he would create next and for the next 8 months or so he learned much of the Lady and her mysteries, of blacksmithing, clockworking, and tool-work of all kinds both fine and large. He took the breadth of depth approach, which many in the church thought to be foolish, but his curiosity was unmatched. In learning about the Lady he also learned of the church’s secrets, including an artifact they stumbled upon in the wastes, at least that's what he was told. He was shown a number of artifacts, but one truly caught his eye. It was some sort of orb suspended in floating gears and sharp claws. He was told by the clergy that no one touched it, and that they simply observed it to learn all they could. However, that was not enough for his curiosity. In the night he snuck into the artifact chamber and uncovered the device, as he reached forward it reached back and flung itself into his left eye and mutilated it, replacing it with itself. He passed out in pain and woke up to the sun shining in his face. One of his close friends in the church, a dwarf named Keyl Hammerstride, saw him and rushed to his side, Ocelot instinctively ran away. The next day there was a warrant out for his arrest in regards to a stolen artifact. Ocelot knew Keyl and the church would never throw him to the dogs like that, it must be that dirty Deputy Loveless, she must want him or the eye for something!
