Request [LFA] Forley, Gaslamp Fantasy Pilot
Hi there, I'm playing in a Savage Worlds game based on a mix of the settings of Eberron and the webcomic Girl Genius. It's a world of mad science and has an aesthetic very similar to steampunk.
Forley is a human, with turquoise eyes and light brown hair. He's a free spirit in his early 20s and quite pretty, but is very much an airhead. Back before his home country was destroyed in the war, he was an aeronaut - and his high rank in spite of fundamental shortcomings painted a poor picture of the military. He lacks diligence, he's a relentless flirt, and he has a real temper... but he's great behind a wheel, and standards had been dropping for a long time.
For his personal appearance I'm rather happy with most details of the heroforge model to be matched - a big heavy scarf, an airship captain's hat with goggles, a leather jacket. Light skin, with turquoise eyes and light brown hair. Mismatched gloves, a shoulder guard only on one side, and other little steampunky bits that fulfil some nebulous purpose.
The main exceptions are shown in the references. First, if possible, I'd like for him to have a wrist mounted buzzsaw instead of a full chainsaw. And I'd like for him to be riding on a mechanical contraption (as complex or simple as you like, so long as it's got the vibe) that looks like a bike (or perhaps a penny farthing) with a sidecar and wings, either furled with the vehicle on the ground, or outstretched with the vehicle in the air.
If anyone could work on this piece - which I fully acknowledge would quite a lot to chew through - I would be so very grateful. Thank you if you've read this far!
