"Fenrick the Gnome" by Zachariah Campbell

Fenrick is an RPG character belonging to a friend. He's a toymaker by trade, who went out into the world looking for adventure. He used to have a little snowy-white beard, but he shaved it off to impress a woman, who really was much too big for him. He's picked up a lot of skills, and is a top notch engineer now... but every winter, he still makes time to go work for his old boss 'up North'. :)

Gnomes in our old RPG game are a bit different from the current model. They're tinkerers and builders , but they are also very small, and very, very fast... sometimes just a blur. Complex devices can be assembled by Gnomish hands in mere seconds, provided they don't experiment along the way. Sometimes a Gnome's penchant for building becomes a corrupted thirst for chaos and sabotage... these 'dark Gnomes' are called Gremlins, and the havoc an infestation can cause is beyond imagination...
