Main Base: The Land
Name: Abner Lindberger
Role: Citizen
Character Pitch:
On the corner next to an alley is a small pawn shop filled with whatsits and thingamabobs. Behind the dark counter is a man, mid-twenties, sitting hunched by his desk. That man happens to be Abner Lindberger.

From a young age, Abner was curious about, well, everything. His father was a mechanic, but not good enough to create his own inventions so he just fixed whatever people needed fixing with, for a low price. His wife had left him a while ago, not being able to withstand the thought of being tied down, so Abner and his brother, who he is now estranged to, were brought with him on every assignment. While Abner's older brother, Isaiah, ran off and wandered the streets during those times, Abner followed his father every move with unquenchable curiosity. This way, Abner learned many useful things from his father, and the people he worked for, that made well for him in the future.
One of the houses his father frequented for repairs was like none other that Abner had been to before. The owners had more books than Abner would have thought possible to room in a house, and was allowed to read as much as he liked whenever they were there.

After his father died, Isaiah became reckless and borderline dangerous, not being able to see outside of his own interests. Six months after the death, he stole away in the dead of night with all the money he thought their father had left them. But Abner, expecting this to happen, had hid away a portion of it, and along with his own savings he purchased the pawn shop he now runs.

Abner is a loner who stays quiet and hides in the shadows when he can. He enjoys his own company, and his sole companion is a faulty automaton who he found lying in a dump and couldn't properly fix since he's not a proper mechanic. Along with sometimes tinkering, Abner has many miscellaneous hobbies such as reading, sketching, and history. Abner is excellent at biding his time while his life passes.
He's gentle, but anxious and does whatever he can to avoid conflict - although that's not always a choice.

Appearance:
Even though Abner is a tall man, he seems like a small man with the way he carries himself, constantly hunched. He barely has any muscle on his bones, and his quite skinny. This makes his features sharp, but there's an obvious sadness and vulnerability in his face. If he were a different kind of person, he'd most likely be quite handsome.
His hair is fine and pale blonde, almost white. His eyes are a dark brown.

Main Base: The Land
Name: Sue

Role: Automaton
Character Pitch:
A faulty automaton in the possession of Abner Lindberger. Her origins are unknown, as she was found in a dump by Abner, and has been with him ever since.

While incredibly sweet and obedient, she tends to forget her orders as soon as she gets them, or have an irregular span of wake. Often, the only thing that can be heard in the pawn shop is the whirring of her body, as she sits with a smile on her face in the corner, ready to greet any costumer that comes in the door.

Even though she seems to be out-of-date, her owner suspects that there's more to her than meets the eye as she often quotes great works of literature or music, and if given a pencil and paper she can create wonderful drawings of lands that Abner doesn't recognize.
Her current purpose is mostly to give her owner the company he can't admit that he needs.

Appearance:
Sue is quite small, standing at a 161cm / 5'2''. She has a petite frame. Her features are delicate, and she reminds some of a porceline doll with her pale skin, pink lips, small nose and large blue eyes. Her hair is golden and very curly. She tends to catch the eyes of some with her light complexion which constrasts with the usual grey tone of the city, so Abner always keeps her in the store.​
