My submission, if they're still open!
Host Name: Sir Matthias Flashhart
Host Age: 43
Physical Description: A giant of a man, almost six and a half feet tall, and built like a series of barrels made out of bricks. His moustache is perfectly waxed, and his hair seems to be perpetually impeccable.
For example...
Mental Description: Sir Flashhart is, at- er, heart- a thrill-seeker. He crosses the globe to find new and exciting adventures, and will try almost anything once. Whether he likes it is the question afterward. His manner is eternally boisterous and proud, always yelling encouragements at others to drive them to do even better. His intelligence is also quite impressive, and he could easily be a scientist full time if not for the simple facts that: 1) He would be labeled as a menace even to mad scientists when he got bored, and 2) he doesn't want to. He's content to use his mad imagination and surprising engineering skill to craft weapons and equipment for those around him, always bringing some mad new idea to the table and testing out new designs.
History: Sir Flashhart grew up amidst stories of war heroes and explorers, and often lamented when he was younger that he was born almost forty years too late. When he learned that there was still a place in the world for the adventurous and the pioneer, he leapt at the chance, bringing madness and cleverness everywhere he went. Seeking out artifacts of old and beasts to hunt, he developed a reputation as "that unflappable madman." He, however, always preferred "Sir Flashhart, genius, inventor, hunter, archaeologist, engineer, journaleer, ladies' man, man's man, man about the world." Many have disputed his claim to some of these epithets. When he heard about the Binding program, he simply shrugged his shoulders, laughed, and volunteered.
Balance Meter: -2
Capabilities
Mundane Skills:
Strength: Matthias' sheer strength is near the peak of human ability, and it shows.
Balance: He somehow always finds his feet again, and can keep himself and things he holds level with ease.
Mathematics, engineering, and metallurgy.
Tracking: Any hunter, as far as Matthias is concerned, should be able to track. What the prey is doesn't matter. Tracking will save your sorry hide.
Combat Skills: Broadly, what types of weapons is your host good at using? Any other tricks they know that might be useful in a fight?
Firearms: As a hunter and "explorer" Matthias has familiarized himself with firearms of many kinds, preferring large rifles and hand cannons.
"Knife.": What Matthias calls a knife others might call a short sword, but he is quite skilled with it none the less.
Fisticuffs: He isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and he knows how to do it.
Powers:
Mad Genius - The Gunbringer (Gunsmithing and Engineering[Armor/Small Machinery]): Matthias is a famed gunsmith, and has made several dozen weapons and pieces of armor across the world, as well as more esoteric equipment.
Blatant Meta - The Blueprint Thief: If you want equipment, he'll make you equipment. What world should it be from? Do you want that diving suit with a drill on the arm? He's happy to do it!
Subtle Meta - The Boisterous Bruiser: Matthias' unflappable manner and constant cheerfulness have somehow made him more c
apable of supporting his allies, as well as increasing his own natural ability.
Special Equipment:
Old Steady-Now: His prized rifle, built to handle a caliber that most people would consider hazardous to the wielder. The weapon is breech-loading, and Matthias knows it inside and out. He built it after all.
Little Mark: His pistol, which he somehow uses one-handed despite it being classified as a hand cannon by any reasonable metric. He built this too.
"Knife": A Short sword that Matthias calls a knife. And which is serrated.
The Lodge: A small zeppelin that Matthias uses as his home and trophy-hall. This is also his means of transport and his workshop.
