Alchemist

Alchemists, or chemists mix strange ingredients concocting arcane recipes that continue to press the limits of reality. They make the hardest steel harder, the biggest bombs bigger, and the impossible possible. It is because of the Alchemists that we grow food in the dark, blood is turned into lightning, and the slightest scratch takes down the mightyest in The Dusk.
Prestige: Chemists are held in very high esteem. Their craft is often little understood and much relied on. They are considered to have originally worked the miracle of electroplasm which the Empire relies on today. Plus, most of them only care about their craft, so they are less insufferable than most of the wealthy citizens of the Dusk.
Accoutrement: Chemists will have a lab, plenty of strange ingredients and tools. They usually have plenty of useful books, and as a byproduct of living in Doskvol, they likely have. acouple of bombs and poisons on hand.
Training: A lifetime of study and a long stint in Doskvol Academy are often the price of entry, although chemists have a habit of fostering the curious, so apprenticeships are often a good start. Of course, you could try learning the old fashioned way through trial and error. Those who survive often make very inventive chemists.
