Background

Created by the largest and most cosmopolitan nation, Claslat, Transcendent Fulmination Dynamo both embodies his home, and seems to be apart from it. He is forceful and dynamic, which is to be expected from an Orichalum Caste hailing from the teeming cities of Claslat, but lacks the tendency towards craft and trade found in Claslat's citizens. Instead, he was built for war. Knowing the Crusade to save Autochthon was gearing up, they commissioned an Alchemical Exalt who could prove himself time and time again in the upcoming conflicts, and thereby secure a larger amount of the spoils for their nation. Yes, Autochthon must be saved, but not every nation's magical materials demand was created equal. The largest of nations deserves the largest share.

Thus, Dynamo (a nickname he rarely brooks from anyone he deems beneath his station) is a relatively inexperienced Alchemical. His drive towards perfection stems from that. It is his version of Claslat's self-expression. He eagerly looks forward to his future upgrades, to better himself for his task. The Crusade cannot fail, so Transcendent Fulmination Dynamo will not fail.

Appearance

Well over seven feet tall, Transcendent Fulmination Dynamo is, in many ways, what citizens think of when they think of Orichalum caste. He was not built for subtlety, but for the most forthright and direct of actions. Barring swapping out some of his systems at the vats, usually four strong arms extend from his broad torso. Each is well-muscled and plated, like most of his clay-like flesh, in thin sheets of reinforcing Orichalum. Both legs and arms are reinforced by pistons, capable of increasing both his already prodigious strength and dexterity. A fine network of wires leads to the obvious charms bulging from him chest, spine, and shoulders - crystal windows exposing the magitech and bubbling fluids coursing through them and lending power and grace to his every movement.

Most of this is generally covered by Implacable March of Progress, Dynamo's Orichalum Articulated plate, specially fitted for his multi-limbed frame. He carries his Grand Daiklave Inevitable Razor Edge of Genius on his back at all times, and is equally good at wielding the six and a half foot blade in either set of hands.

His eyes are featureless pale orbs, and sometimes, when deep in thought or in the midst of battle, essence sparks arc and crackle from them to his soulgem and back. Dynamo's head is hairless, lacking even eyebrows, which only adds to his already generally inhuman appearance.

((This may change slightly based on BP or Artifact dots spent.))
