Suddenemipp Gyddweck (sud-de-ne-mip giddy-weck)

Chook, it is time to make tea, get out here. Chook! Chook! Where are you? Did you get stuck in a sponge again?

General Info

---

Location

Suddenemipp can be found living inside a magical house in the middle of nowhere. It can only be found when one is truly lost with no sense of direction or where they are. This makes finding him neigh impossible. Only made even more difficult by the fact that the house has the habit of relocating itself upon being found.

Looks/Personality

He is a very unique and eccentric individual, with many different quirks that have become more pronounced due to his prolonged solitude. On occasion he can be found comversing with himself as if talking to a loved one. He also has the habit of leaving all of his cups turned upside down after finishing what is left in them. Though this later fact may have something to do with one of his sentient friends. His small talk skills seemed to have dispersed as well as his manners over the years. This causes him to tend to get more to the point of things and not mince his words.
The house that is currently called home, has only been under his care for the past 50 years of his life. However, in this place, time seems to be distorted and ten years go by for everyone spent living within. In this vast amount of time, he has collected many things from a plethora of visitors and at times the forest itself. While some are simple items or food, others are sentient creatures that are kept around the house as pets and caretakers.
Before stumbling upon this home Suddenemipp was working on the crafting and transmuting of spells into different elements but was not making any progress. However, when he first located this house he found a desk upon which papers resided that provided the last piece he needed to begin his work. Since then, in the past 50 years of his life, he has set out to write, create, and categorize each of the different spells and ways of manipulation. His current works are to create ways of conjuring or teleporting things across distances.
Despite being a very meek fellow that stands only 2' 4" tall. He cares very much for the work that he has taken under his wing and the plethora of sentient creatures that wind their way through his home. He has piercing blue eyes and wears a similarly colored hat that on end would stand half his height. peeking out from under this illustrious hat lays neatly combed stark white hair that ever so slightly kinks at random intervals. The wrinkles on his face portray his years of life and wisdom, while his neatly cleaned and pressed robes elude his sense of cleanliness and properness. One of his favorite pastimes is the tea that he drinks daily, prepared by a tiny water elemental called chook and if you are lucky, he may offer some to you as well.

Life

Early Life

Suddenemipp was not born a gnome but rather transmuted into one. Once upon a time, he was simply an older gentleman, who wished not to die so he set upon asking the gods for help. when confronted the gods did as asked, but warned him it would come at a cost. Once his transformation had been completed, the gods then told him that others would be born of his kind so he would not be alone or the last. Seemingly sated by what the gods had gifted him he then set out upon the world to behold its glory once again.

early gnome life

When he was still considered a younger gnome Suddenemipp was very brash and daring. He made sure his name was known throughout the land of Skindarial. Eventually, everyone knew of his name and that he was the first of his kind. The adventuring lifestyle was pleasing to him and on occasion, he would take up arms against daring and deadly foes, that threatened others. After nearly a century of drifting from town to two and vanquishing those that meant harm, he eventually became tired of not having a singular place to call home. So on his 150th birthday, he laid down his sword and set out on his greatest adventure yet. To find a companion.

mid life

After years of chasing beauties and searching for his future wife, he eventually rekindled a flame with another gnome named Nilma, whom he had met earlier on his journey. The two of them, after about a century of courtship, settled down in the middle of the woods where he built a home for his soon-to-be family. Slowly but steadily over the next century, his family grew to the size of 22. During this time he deemed it necessary to write a book on the importance of hats in gnome culture and what the different hats meant to each.
While his name had been forgotten by most while raising his family, except for in books written about him, he is still considered the grandfather of his kind. If you were to ask any odd gnome about old Gyddwick they could recount stories of old for you; they could tell you of the gnome that created their hats and why they so proudly wear them atop their heads.

Later years

During the many years of raising his rather large family, Suddenemipp turned from brash and brave to kind, patient, and caring. He wanted nothing more than to see his kin survive and thrive. To this end, he founded the city that to this day is known as Umberford. He worked as a simple magician within its walls to help ensure the livelihood and safety of his kind.
Towards his later years, his wife ended up dying due to an unknown and unwritten reason. Many speculate that it was due to a childbirth gone wrong others have said that it may have been one of his magical spell creations gone amiss. However, after his wife's death, Suddenemipp was written to have disappeared and was therefore lost to the annals of time and was never to be seen or heard from again.

Team Interactions

The team originally met him while traveling to the city of Beasts. Along the way they ended up getting lost and so stumbled upon this seemingly lonesome home. The gems in front of he home became a tempting sight to our resident pixie Reyrora . She attempted to sneak closer and nab one for herself, however, upon entering the magical mushroom circle every intention is known to the one who resides within. So with his knowledge of what she was doing Suddenemipp spoke to her "Don't touch those." Upon hearing this she stopped and approached the house beckoning to the rest of the team to follow. Upon arriving they proceded to knock and wait while he traveled across his home to the tiny door that resided at the bottom of the much larger door. After many greetings and small talk they foudn themselves within his dwelling. There they talked of his work and the time he has spent within his home all the while sipping on wonderful tea. After awhile the team was made aware of the fact that time moved quicker and after some very brief goodbyes and sharing of teeth and horns the team quickly left to resume their travels.

@Reyrora

• Suddenemipp has a very jaded hostory with pixies on account of as he puts it they steal everything shiny. when he first met rey he threatened her and told her to back off. however his attitude changed slightly as he got to know her

As the party starts to enter his home. "You all can come in but she has to stay out" as he points to rey
fak responds with "but she is part of our party we wont leave her our here"
"fine she can come in but. she mist go in a cage i have for pixies"
"ill be good i promise retorted rey"
"fine fine come in but i will be watching you, you trixie."

Yuuto Thýella

• With yuuto being the only other pure magic user in the group Suddenemipp took a very quick liking to him. The two of them sat and talked for about anhour on the makings and changes of magic. it got to a point though where Yuuto helped him create a spell that could conjur words in to someones mind and this greatly frightened him

• When leaving Suddenemipp made sure to give some of his papers on magic theory to Yuuto.

Fak Pymantis

• The two of them became closer after Suddenemipp revealed that black cloaked figures wereseemingly hunting either him or the house. as Fak proceded to let him know they were there to help and if he needs help to write him a message.

• After a revelation from Suddenemipp himself that he is older than what may be percieved, Fak was interested in just what he knew.

Fak handed Suddenemipp a coin that has the face of [Kassandra] and asked.
Does that mean anything to you?
No, no it doesn't. why should it?
Fak then takes the coin back
"No it is fine. If it doesn't then it doesn't."
"Oh um ok then, but I want to know."

Suddenemipp' Many Elementals

The Fire Cat

This little guy is known only as Cin and is a pet/caretaker to Suddenemipp. He is created by the FoxFire Charm that is placed within the fireplace and his only goal is to keep the fireplace lit and warm. Cin at times also provides company and warmth to Suddenemipp on long cold nights when he falls asleep in his large velvet chair reading through his latest magical creations. While Cin is a beloved pet, who doesn't burn to the touch, he has been known to be frisky when not given attention or food and has eaten very important documents on occasion. In order to keep this from happening a large pile of sticks leaves and other wooden elements can be found next to the fireplace for ease of access.

The Cleaning Cube

A tiny, sentient piece of an enchanted gelatinous cube that is harmlessly soapy, instead of acidic, and enjoys cleaning the surfaces it travels across. He can often be found sitting atop Suddenemipps' head or dried out in a corner.

Known only as chook, this little one is a tiny piece of a water elemental. His only job and favourite thing to do is make delicious, perfectly heated tea. The only downside to this is that he will fill every single cup in the house if he is able to. Due to this fact Suddenemipp has taken care to store and always flip his cups over after he is finished. chool on most occasions can be found stuck inside of a sponge.
