Fix Burrshot
Fix Hamilton Fixtus Burrshot
Fix is a gunslinger and artificer in the year 364 SF4. He was tasked with meeting with Adventure Team Grimm as they leapt into the future after the last Shatterfall. They are on a quest to stop the mad entity known as Anaxis from killing the god Eigeralon.
As the group teleports in:
Fix is in the middle of a hostile trade (on the deck of your own boat - to be named by you-, also, the group showing up will look like you called in back-up and the deal may go sideways). Since they left you've been through a lot. It's been 6 months since they evaporated into the sands of time!
As soon as they disappeared (6 MONTHS AGO!), the Top Hat man had caught up to you and appeared on your airship. You all had literally just left the mimic mansion/Vellenox lair. He expected to find the group there, so he became enraged immediately. As he questioned you he lifted your pirate Dad into the air by a giant spectral claw, then ripped him in half as an intimidation tactic while asking where the group is. As you stand in horror and in a pool of blood, the sky became a dark purple. He stepped closer to you and said, "I'll ask you one last time. Where are your little friends? How did they disappear, I put an anti-teleportation curse on this ship when you were inside that castle. They could not have teleported out!".
Now being close to him for an extended period of time, you realize that his face didn't move, he was yelling at you in your mind.
He then summoned a magical claw-like mage hand to lift you into the air by your neck. Thinking quickly, you pulled a gun and shot a barrel of gunpowder sitting next to a cannon. As the explosion began to ripple through the air and tear through the ship, You saw his eyes flash with purple flames as he snarled at you. He quickly disappeared as he realized the ship was going down. The ship exploded about 10,000 feet in the air, and you went down with it. Maybe Anaxis assumed you died? Either way, you haven't seen him since that day.
You barely survived the fall, being drudged out of the ocean by a merchant ship and healed with no memory of how you survived. The merchant ship was on its way to Cantebulos, the captain told you how lucky you are they found you. All that was left of that air ship were scraps of wood that you were clinging to barely. Since you got back to Cantebulos you've been running odd jobs for the Accountant again. You've bought another airship that you're paying for monthly to one of the banks in Cantebulos, and you're about 60% paid off! You have your own crew now that you've hired. They're not the best, but they get the job done.
Your gnome buddy that makes magical ammo and guns for you is named Gilfoil. He hates everyone, but likes you because you saved his family from Bolgar. I've attached special bullets onto this email, with what you've made recently you can afford 18 of these magic bullets, so choose wisely. Also, the feats on one of these pages can be put onto a "Feat Ring" magic item, so you can choose one of those as well.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
His mom died in child birth, and his dad owned a small pub in the city of Bolger Prime. As a kid you excelled in sword fighting and fencing in school but loved throwing daggers, darts and axes with precision. Mostly this was to impress friends, then girls as you got older. At some point the gnomes in your bar were talking about a new weapon they were developing. you over heard as you were mopping because you also learned gnomish in school and had a pretty good understanding of the language. Eventually you got a job working in the lab as a janitor for these gnome artificers so you could get an idea of this new weapon. They liked you because you spoke the language and showed such interest.
• Meanwhile, Bolgar was named after an elf, Fethwin Bolgar, that had run the city for 300+ years after a plague killed a lot of the gnome population in the region. While you were working in the artificer lab Bolgar mysteriously vanished. This created a power vacuum as people claimed they should run the city. After some maybe rigged elections and mystious deaths/suicide-by-10-stab-wounds-to-the-back, a man was elected. Problem was, this guy hated gnomes. he had them executed systematically, while you secretly helped as many as you could escape.
• Since you worked in the lab (as a janitor, but he didnt know that) the new viceroy put you in charge of the lab. You didn't really do the best though and made wonky guns that misfired here and there so he sent you to the arrow tip, now Bolger city, not prime. to go to the prison and await sentencing for BS charges. (You disappointed him... shame...) While in jail you made an unlikely friend in a goblin rogue named Kashin. You helped each other escape.
• Afraid to go to Bolgar

Notes on Cantebulos:
BARS/INNS---
All Seasons Inn - Owner- Harrod Moth is a human, of average build. It is a higher end bar that was enchanted a long time ago to shift through all the seasons slowly once per day. The interior of the bar looks like a big indoor garden with trees of all sizes that go through the seasons too. The temperature in the bar does not change however, even as snow falls. Fix Burrshot is a regular here and the Accountant had set him up with one of the apartments above it for relatively cheap.
Good Knights Rest- Inn and bar. A Gnome known as Farrit runs this bar, little Gnome sized metal golems run this bar as bartenders/servers. They all look like little knights. Middle-income style bar, with people of all kinds there.
Not A Mimic Tavern- Dive bar, adorned to look like a mimic, you walk into the mouth of the thing, and giant creepy eyes are carved out of the wood all around the bar, and the bar top looks like a big purple tongue. This bar is run by an old tiefling known only as "Blue".
The Hobbled Goblin Drunkery- low end, but fun atmosphere. Run by an entertaining Goliath named Bloot that loves to sing and dance with bar patrons as he drinks with them all night, almost every night.
The Anchor Inn - Nice inn and bar by the water front. run by a human named Artus. Has the usual nautical look like the bar is in the hull of a ship
