Name: Agrerius Montischellan von Kendellac Vyaro IV
Race: Half-orc
Class (removable if so desired): Alchemist
Age: 26
Hair: Black
Eyes: Yellow
Skin: Pale yellow-green
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 240 lbs.
Clothes: Simple brown robes
Bio: Agrerius was born into a rich, but politically weak, noble house in a medium-sized city. His house was not of politicians, bureaucrats, or clergyman, but of philosophers, magi, and scientists. His father was the second son of his generation, an alchemist and natural philosopher. His mother was an orc servant-girl whose family was indebted to his own for a deed performed in the past, the details of which, ironically, both families had forgotten about. He was raised mostly by his father due to his mother having to do most of the work for the family. He inherited his father's fascination with alchemy, but not philosophy. He believes that men who sit in their studies to think and ponder about morals and ethics are not the ones who make advancements and discoveries. Instead, men of science and magic push the world forward. He even began to play around with his father's lab equipment, despite repeated warnings not to. Luckily for Agrerius, he was exceptionally bright and never made any serious mistakes, at least, not for a long time. Dragon's blood is a very strong catalyst - adding it to a potion increases its strength up to fifty times more than normal. The exception, it seems, is when it is added to flesh, hair, or blood of an extraplanar species, as Agrerius was soon to find out. He was mixing dragon blood with skin from an unamed demon of chaos, a regeant that usually produces a small puff of smoke when in the presence of a catalyst. His father walked in as he added the ingredients together, and they both witnessed small, bright, and enthralling explosions, similar to fireworks. Agrerius was excited to try more, and in his haste to grab imp skin, hoping to magnify the sparks it can create, for something truly spectacular. Unfortunately, he grabbed a Baalor claw. Nobody knows what exactly happened when he added the two together, but what is known is that Agrerius was found unconcious in the middle of his father's destroyed lab, with his father nowhere to be found. Agrerius was scarred by the loss of his father, and spent the next five years of his life exclusively studying, the labs of his father locked up and unused. He holds on to the hope that his father is not dead, but perhaps alive in another plane of existence.
Personality: Agrerius is loud, boisterous, and good-humored, but this is only to hide his true feelings about the loss of his father. He no longer averts from alchemy, but has become much more cautious with the mixing of unknown combinations of reagants.
Abilities: Agrerius inherited orcish strength and vigor, but a life of study and alchemy has left him weaker than other half-orcs. Still, he is about as strong as an average human male. He is not particularly wise about dealing with other people, partially due to his secluded life, and partially due to emotional trauma. His greatest asset is his knowledge of alchemy, and is a very good potion-brewer. He also has passable knowledge of biology and physics, as well as slightly better-than-average understanding of extraplanar realms.

(Should I just make up the alchemical properties of items as we go or do you want to make some sort of formal system?)
