*Name: Jasper Kohle

    Nickname: Chimney sweep

*Age: 27

*Birthday: April 21

    Star Sign: Taurus

*Height: 5'6

*Weight:155lbs

Family: Mother and Father and a younger brother

*Creature: Dredge:
A species that is very human in appearance however they have vent Pipes on their shoulders and down their spines, On the rare occasion they have a vent on the top of their head. These vents allow for dark thick smoke to escape their bodies. Dredges main source of food are hard minerals and Coal, because of this they have evolved to have metal teeth to break down the rocks and coal more easily. Their internal body runs much like a machine, it burns coal to keep them going which is why they must vent the smoke out of their bodies. Due to having to burn down coal for fuel internally, the species get very hot while eating, it is very unwise to touch a dredge while they are heating, as they can cause minor burns. Dredges mine for materials usually with their own brute strength, usually preferring to rip the stone from the walls with their own hands over machines. All dredges work in the mines. It is very unlikely for a Dredge to ever leave the mines for any reason.

*Dimension: Dryden:
A world mostly consisting of mines and tunnels. The air above ground is very toxic so the creatures of the world live underground. Most of the creatures in this world feed on rock, minerals, on the rare occasion species will still hunt live prey, these creatures live far away from the main mining Cities. The most common items found on the planet are Coal and precious metals. Dryden is the perfect place for trading rare stones, fuel and machinery. 

-Each small city under Dryden’s crust Has 2 major factories. One Factory for turning the gems, rocks and Coal into a food source and one Factory that refines the materials into a fuel source.

-In the middle of each city is a large trading market. From Regular things like stones, jewelry and food to Heavy machinery and new mining tools.

- The world of Dryden has many rules for it’s cities. No family is allowed to have more than 2 kids. If a child dies this does not change the number and the family will still be unable to have more. This is due to the government not wishing for any community to get about 100,000 people per city.

- Each city is run by 3 members of the community as voted by each city. The Mayor and then the 2 factory leaders. They decide what goes on in their own city.

-Every person in the cities must spend the first 5 years of work in the mines. After they have done their required 5 years they are allowed to move onto different work around the cities. 

-The world on the surface of Dryden is deadly to any and all animals that go on the surface. The toxic fumes were caused by an attack on their home thousands of years ago leaving the surface barren and dead to all who step food above ground. 

*Personality:
Jasper is a very curious man, always wanting to learn more about the world around him and outside of the mines. He is very clever and will usually sneak his way out of doing things as much as possible. Jasper is also very ambitious and caring when he gets close to people. He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor he is usually a very kind being. Though he may be clever he is quite socially awkward, not having much of a mental filter for what he says which has lead to many fights to break out from saying the wrong things. 

*History:
Jasper grew up like any Dredge did. In the Mining cities of Dryden. Being raised and taught about living in the tunnels and mines that surround all the cities of the world. He knew that he was smaller compared to all the others. This caused a lot of issues in his life. His mother barely spoke to him. Caring for his little brother more. His father grew distant from him as well. It was a disgrace to have a runt in the family. Jasper didn’t really understand why it was such an issue until he was the age of 8. This was when he was sent into the mines to dig for the first time. Having been sent down younger than most would in hopes of strengthening him and making him last in the community. If he did not last in the mines he would be left to die. It was a hard time for Jasper. But it slowly became easier. He had become quite comfortable in the tunnels outside of the cities by the time he was 14. Though he was still quite smaller compared to the rest he was able to keep up on his own by then. Knowing how to avoid the animals and wildlife while in the tunnels alone. His Mother still was quite distant from her oldest son but she would at least speak to him now that he was able to work full time away from the house where she would not have to worry about the boy. His Father had taken work in another town at this point in his life, in hopes of finding rare gems to help the family. 

Jasper continued into the mines and tunnels until he was the age of 18. When he was in a serious accident.  Having his right arm crushed by rocks up to his elbow. Leaving the boy more weak than ever before. 
This time it was even worse off. His mother forcing him out of the house now that he was legal age to leave home. He was forced to find his own home and fend completely for himself. These were hard times for Jasper. Having only one arm to dig with meant gathering very little materials to sell and live off.
It wasn’t until Jasper was the age of 20 that things finally began going right. After going off into the tunnels to mine he came across a man laying against one of the stone walls. He looked very old. Like the ancients they spoke of in old days. Jasper stared at the man for a long moment, Eyeing the machine like arm that was attached to the man. Finally being spotted the man called for Jasper to come over. He cautiously approached. The man spoke to Jasper asking him if he was happy in this hell, as he called it. Jasper replied with a swift head shake. Soon the man began asking him about his entire life and why he was unhappy and alone, Jasper explained his life. The man smiled and offered him a trade, if he would be willing to listen to a dying mans stories he would give him a gift to make his life better. Jasper agreed.
The man began by telling him about his life as a Captain of a powerful ship that flew among the clouds. A band of pirates and thieves. He told stories about how his world was full of Machines in the skies and battles between powerful empires. He spoke of cities above the clouds and Steam powered men on the grounds below. Jasper took in every story. Every adventure of being a great Captain and helping his crew and shipmates. The young man longed for such things. Wanting to hear more. He sat there for many hours listening to the Captain tell stories. Finally it was over. The Captain smiled and thanked Jasper. Taking the Mechanical arm off himself and installing the machinery onto Jasper. 
He couldn’t help but marvel at his new arm. Moving the fingers and staring at it. As he continued to look at his new arm he turned to thank the Captain once more only to find him gone. Having wandered off into the Tunnels to be taken by the creatures within.
After finally getting a break Jasper went back to work in the tunnels but with a new fascination with the world. He wanted to see and learn about all the creatures and people of the world, Not just this world but many other worlds. Worlds like the one the Captain man spoke of.
Though these were just dreams. No one ever left Dryden. People come and go but the Dredge people never leave the planet.
It was years before Jasper had a chance to leave. Having grown a fair bit, still being smaller than the average dredge he was close to them in strength thanks to the arm he gained years before.
One night he heard whispers among the people that a train had pulled into the stop for once. It had been many years since any trains had come in. Only carts and smaller vehicles came in.
Curious of the train Jasper decided to go and investigate on his own. He had never been on a train before. He approached it silently in the night. Hopping in the back and hoping for the best. 

*Skills:

Steam: Jasper is able to heat up the smoke that he releases from his body causing a foggy steam in the room to hide in the smoke.

Night vision: Due to living in mines his entire life Jasper is skilled in seeing through the darkness of the night.

Flame touch: While digesting food Jasper can heat up his body, enough to cause minor burns. He can heat his body up enough to cause 2nd degree burns but only up to 5 minutes before his body cools down.

Hack: Due to an upgrade to his mechanical arm, Jasper can summon a program called Apep to hack into systems and gather information from computers and other security systems. He can only hack into a system 3 times a day before it starts beginning to cause him extreme migraines and muscle pain around his arm.

*Weaknesses:

-Bright lights: Due to living in caves his entire life, Jasper has a difficult time in very bright lights.

*RP Sample:
The night had been cold in the mines, Jasper hung his head as he grabbed at the hard stones in the walls of the tunnels. It had been a dreadful night for gathering, barely filling the mine cart behind him. Little bits of stone and iron and the few scattered pieces of coal lay at the bottom of his cart. "God I cant take it down here anymore." He grunted as he tossed a rocked into his Cart, tipping it over. A look of frustration paled the man's soot covered face. "Oh Come on..." He mumbled as he knelt down and began picking up the pieces.
