Naimyn

Backstory
Naimyn tells their past like an old sailor talks about that one storm -- that is to say, vaguely, dramatically, and with very few specific details. They were originally an engineer in a land too far to walk to. From the age of twenty, they designed, built, tested, and altered automatons and machines as part of one of the first teams to work with machinery. They saw the beginning of an industrial revolution. But there's a catch to every good thing. The first weapons using Naimyn and their team's designs and ideas became a reality only a decade after they began work. By the time they reached a century of age, some of the best minds of the time were creating immense war machines. Naimyn refused to help, but many of their ideas were recycled as methods of increasing the power or range of the machines. Others became the norm for mechanical designs and ended up being used in weaponry anyway. Naimyn kept their mouth shut, at first, not wanting to abandon the craft they'd come to love, but after eighty years, driven to distraction, they abandoned the city altogether.

They wandered as far from other beings as they could, maybe looking for redemption, maybe looking for escape, maybe looking for peace. There, they found the god Imses, God of Nature. Naimyn studied under xeir tutelage for several decades, grateful for the distraction to get their mind off the machines. But then, in their wandering, they found Machimagi, a place where machinery was becoming a fact of life. So they set out on a quest of their own: to warn whoever runs this place about how dangerous machines can become within a lifetime.

Trivia
Naimyn still has some guilt issues from the whole weapon thing, but they certainly won't admit it.

They don't really know what they'll say when they find the leading body in power, but they'll say something.

Naimyn is partially deaf.
