Muscles & Brains – Manic Goblin Inventor/Chemtech Experimentation

A goblin with a keen mind who found camaraderie among the rogue artificers hellbent on enforcing change in Baldur’s society. Having escaped from a life of slavery and servitude among a secret society of artificers infusing tech with magic, alongside his companion Muscles. The two became inseparable and now act as the heavy lifters for the separatist group that took the two in. Here he’s had a chance to employ the knowledge he gained in slavery for his own benefit. Though he has no personal ties to the cause, he finds it is a place of belonging for him and his chum, where they are able to exact their own vengeance on the society that brought them such turmoil.

An Orc who was subjected to a plethora of experimentations and enhancements under the watch of a secretive sect of Baldur’s scientists aiming to push the physical limits of a mortal’s body. Muscles, designated Project Glass Ceiling EX03A, was the first humanoid to undergo these tests after decades of fruitless work on beasts who entered dangerous states of enragement before being euthanised. Muscles showed more promise, and though he entered a chemical rage whenever the liquid was filtered into his bloodstream, it showed a hint of intelligence, directing the rage at the experimenters and handlers, rather than any bystanding beasts or inanimate objects in his pen. He was broken free by Brains during his own escape, and the two have been inseparable since.
