History

Early life

Shulthak was born in the year 796 PR, in the town of Torchlight on the Dolina Peninsula of Amusa. Born to the Delmirev clan, Shulthak is the son of a Blue dragonborn father Propal and a Brass dragonborn Mother Multhis. Shulthak also has younger sister Surina. Surina teasingly calls Shulthak Lizard Boy when she wants to annoy him.

The Delmirev clan are generally merchants and smiths by trade and as such Shulthak grew up in an environment where he was exposed to a wide variety gizmos and gadgets. This fascinated him and Shulthak could often be found disassembling/assembling mechanical devices to determine how they function. This would eventually inspire him to pursue a career in engineering. Shulthak's nickname of Clank are also due this hobby. The name was inspired by the clanking noises that would come out of Shulthak's room when he was dissecting devices.

By virtue of living in Torchlight, Clank would also often interact with traders that would come through the city and hear wonderful tales of adventure on the continent of Amusa and the world beyond. Shulthak and his family would also take the odd trip across the bay to the town of Nestle in Cauldomo to visit family. All these experiences spurred the imagination of Shulthak and developed in him a yearning to travel and see the world.

Engineering career

At the time when Shulthak was finishing high school, steam powered technology were starting to see significant development. On one of the family trips to Nestle, Shulthak observed a demonstration of prototype steam ballista that was being developed at the Cauldomo Institute of Technology. See this marvelous peach of technology, Shulthak decided to enroll at the Cauldomo Institute of Technology and pursue a Mechanical engineering degree. In 818 PR, he graduated with a BEng degree.

After graduation, Shulthak returned to Torchlight and started a small engineering firm called MOTR. MOTR's aim was to build and sell steam based farming equipment for the greater Dolina Peninsula. However, due to a series of bad business decisions and difficult economic times, MOTR collapsed and went bankrupt in 820 PR. This devastated Shulthak and made him quit the industry entirely.

Adventuring career

While contemplating his future, Shulthak came across an job advert of the Rodriquez Adventurer Company. Thinking back to his younger years of listening to the adventure tales of the traders, Shulthak decided to join the Rodriquez Adventurer Company as a field engineer. For the next four years, Shulthak travelled all around the continent of Amusa, completing a variety quests and contracts.

In 825 PR, during a quiet period on Amusa, Shulthak came to learn of the dragon attacks plaguing Isonhound while traveling though Galik. With dragons having been absent in Amusa after the The Second Draconic Crusades, Shulthak saw an opportunity for a unique adventure to witness and slay these terrible beasts. Thus, he decided travel to Isonhound and help the continent fight off the dragon attacks.

Powers and Abilities

Over the course of his adventures in Isonhound, Clank has acquired a variety of powers and abilities:

• In the advent of defeating the dragon Bazzniagalvinica, Clank acquired the Golden Dragon Foresight Boon. This boon allowed Clank to briefly look into the future and determine which actions he or his opponents are going to make. With information Clank could then ensure that event would develop in his favor.
• Clank became Fey touched after defeating the Jabberwock Tranquil the Terrible. From this event, Clank learned the Dissonant Whispers and Misty Step spells.

• Nut - Homunculus Servant - Small steam powered aerial screw helicopter with two big googly eyes and two little arms. Its core is an aerocrystal. Nut has had to be rebuilt once, due to an unfortunate incident involving vines and brambles summoned by fairy dragons. Nut was unfortunately lost to the shadow void during an investigation of a mine.
• Bolt (current) - Homunculus Servant - Sentient small steam powered robot dragon. Its core is a small warforge existence crystal, which has imbued Bolt with sentience. Bolt has shown that he has a sassy personality and is very talkative.

1. Steam powered crossbow (proxy for a heavy Crossbow)
2. Gold Dragon claw dagger
3. Handaxe
4. Trident of Fish Command

As an artillerist artificer with a steam specialization, Clank has also built a steam powered Gatling gun (proxy for an Eldritch cannon). The Gatling gun can be configured to either spew napalm, fire a force ballista or deploy a buffing field for Clank's allies.

Smythamer is Clank's ornate smithing hammer that he uses as an arcane firearm. The design is an iron smithing hammer with a small ruby embedded in the hammer head. Surrounding the ruby and covering the entire hammerhead is a series of intricate sigils that any artillerist artificer would recognize as the sigils for an arcane firearm.
