Mason Farson
Mason Farson (a.k.a. Tips)
Mason "Tips" Farson is an Astral Drifter that has recently arrived in Isondale. Mason has designs all over his body but does not know their origin as he was born with them. He married Amelia Tyne, whom he saved from being assualted by Spelljammer pirates while he was on a journey through the Astral Sea. Mason's father was a tiefling and mother was a aasimar, thus he has a rather unusual heritage as a rare hybrid. He took up the study of magic and how it connects to creating special devices at an early age and has since become an artificer.
Mason was "rescued and raised by a dwarven city guard" at the young age of 5 during a battle which took place at his village of Riverhaven. Both of his parents, as far as he knows are assumed dead. The battle was fought between the armies of Mordredia and Isondale.

Downtime #5
Starting work on the power core using the Behir crystal I harvested. The first step is creating a shell that is made out of copper with silver bands on the outside to reinforce it with the lightening crystal inside suspended in a amplification fluid to stabilize and enhance the charge. On the outside of the shell will eventually be crystals that will help funnel the energy to a outer ring to power the apparatus or weapon.
When taking a break I'll use my sending stone to talk to Amelia, wondering when she'll be done helping her father and able to come back. I tell her briefly that I time traveled and that it unsettled me a bit but I'm so happy she's in my life.
The Journal Entry’s title
Mason repeats the errand of filling vial's of acid from the Alchemy Jug to sell.
He also gives Amelia the bundle of silk he harvested for her to do with as she pleases and continues to enjoy having time to spend with her that was rare to come by when he was running errands for the shipping business through the Astral Sea.
Downtime #4
After returning from rescuing Amelia from the Bagman, Mason takes her back to their house to recover. Filling the house with strong autumn smells to help her recover including her favorite smell Pumpkin Spice.
While she rests Mason uses his Alchemy Jug to fill 2 vials each day to sell for 25 gold each vial(use Flash of Genius feat for any ability checks needed.}
After doing the task with the acid vials, Mason takes Amelia out for walks by the lake and woods to help her recover.
Downtime #3
Immediately after returning for the Fey Wild, Mason grabs his sending stone and says "Honey, I'm back! Please tell me years haven't passed! I'm coming home ASAP!"
Mason informs everyone that he's going home for awhile and will return. Having restocked supplies with Alchemy Jug ready, Mason takes flight back to Isondale using his wing's and winged boots, following close to the same path as before (will use my Flash of Genius ability to help rolls).
Once home Mason tells Amelia everything that happened including being titled by the Frog, giving her the Witchlight Carnival ticket he brought back for her as a souvenir and spends as much time as possible with her. Also goes see Arlo about getting a updated "Letter of Resources"
After much thought, Mason offers to take Amelia back with him letting her know that there's not much in the way of luxury but it will give them more time together. Mason agrees with Arlo that if she does go then he'll want her to have a bodyguard while she's away, not because of any doubt in Mason's ability to keep her safe but just because she traveled without guard she was attacked and Arlo won't take any chances.
(Yurthgreen)Letter to Ebony Artificer's Grand Works Academy
"To the Department of Arcane Research...
"My name is Mason Farson, former apprentice to Master Onach.
This letter is to request any research on making a mechanical power core using a gyroscope and possible element stone for primary energy.
I mainly need to know if any research has been done with this method of power, also using the same stone on the outer arms of the gyroscope to regulate and amplify the energy for larger constructs. Plus anatomical schematics for various "animal" constructs .
Best metals to use for internal mechenisms and required specilty parts.
Please send response to Lady Amelia Tyne-Farson of the Tyne House in Isondale."
With great appreciation,
Mason Farson, House of Tyne
(Yurthgreen)Letter to Amelia
"My Beloved, I feel the same pain as you every time I have to leave you but thankfully unlike the trips I would take in the Astral Sea for you father when he needed me to escort a shipment I am at least on the same plane as you and can talk to you each day using these Sending Stones I created.
They are a once a day use and being able to hear your voice each day will make this time apart from you somewhat easier. I would have asked you to come with me but I know how much your father depends on you to help with the company and the place I'm staying at is no place for a Lady of the Tyne household and it wouldn't be right for me to leave you alone in a tavern for prolong periods while I'm away on errands or whatever crazy this group agrees too.
I know you don't care much for this whole Nobility thing and only keeping it up for your father and business. If it was just me and you til we growed old then I wouldn't mind running off with you but I believe that Tymora will bless us our own little trouble makers one day and I want them to have the best chance to succeed in whatever they decide to do with their lives. No matter if they decide to be a guard like my father, brilliant business owner like their mother or a crazy inventer/adventurer like their father.
You wouldn't believe the craziness we just got through surviving. First off we agreed to help the townsfolk to find out what was depleting the local wild life and making meat and hide scarce. We made our way to the forest Northwest of Zamova where we came across several dead animals that we burned to cut the smell of decay (which was bad). We eventually found a cave with a group of humanoids hording the meat and hides of the animals. They attacked first and we finished it.
We discovered a portal in a tree near the cave which lead us to the estate or castle in Frandyln of the man (we learned later) who was finaceing the whole operation to complete some perverted ritual. He had near a dozen girls of elf/human decent to summon so entity, not sure what it was but we won and freed the woman.
The group was given as a reward the estate. Not sure what we're gonna do with it and gotta get rid of the gelatinous cube trip but all and all not a bad reward.
I love you and dream of you always!"
Downtime #2 Yurthgreen
Mason spending his time going through his various designs and abilities realizes that he's a idiot and uses his replicate magic item ability and creates a set of Sending Stones, one he plans to send to his wife Amelia.
Along with 2 letters. One to her telling her about what's since he returned and about the sending stone he made for them to talk. The other letter he asks Amelia to send to his teachers back in Onyxmourne is asking for their advice about a idea he has for a power source which includes a disign for a containment gyro to contain and amplify the energy to be used in a medium to large construct.
He's gonna send 50 gold, 20 for Amelia to keep and set aside for themselves and the other 30 to be sent to his teacher for any materials or research cost they might need.
He's then begins to work on a new wagon for the party, looking for a 6ft by 10ft base and frame to construction with. 30 gold is put aside for this project.
Downtime #1
Begin writing you Mason is gonna fly back home to visit his wife, alternating between walk when my wings are tired and using my boots of flying when able. Created a Alchemy Jar for water and other liquids. Just gonna eat the rations he already has and will replenish them when at home.
Once there I'll tell her everything thats happened and about the group I'm with and do my husband duties while there. Also giving her as much information I have on each member. Talk to Arlo about Acq. Inc and what he might know about them and also give him 40gp to buy me a keg of gunpowder for a invention I'm thinking of building.
But overall spend as much time as possible with Amelia.

Origin
Mason "Tips" Farson is an Astral Drifter that has recently arrived in Isondale. Mason has designs all over his body but does not know their origin as he was born with them. He married Amelia Tyne, whom he saved from being assualted by Spelljammer pirates while he was on a journey through the Astral Sea. Mason's father was a tiefling and mother was a aasimar, thus he has a rather unusual heritage as a rare hybrid. He took up the study of magic and how it connects to creating special devices at an early age and has since become an artificer.
Mason was "rescued and raised by a dwarven city guard" Rockerd Farson at the young age of 5 during a battle which took place at his village of Riverhaven. Both of his parents, as far as he knows are assumed dead. The battle was fought between the armies of Mordredia and Isondale. Mason took Rockerd's last name since he was the only father he could remember.
After being ridiculed for most of his youth due to his unique heritage. At 12 years old Rockerd arranged for Mason to be a cabin boy for Captain Lizabeth Martok of the Bastion Queen, a Hammerhead Spelljammer Ship. 2 years after he joined them they were attack by a band of Space Clowns. Not wanting to end up as a slave or worst dinner, Mason jumped over the edge and just drifted into the Astral Sea.
Eventually rescued by a passing transport unsure of how long he was out there, he was sure of 1 thing, he was watched over by a beautiful goddess who just said "I am by your side, my lucky one!".
After asking a few questions of his rescuers he found that he had met Tymora- Lady Luck.
Eventually signing on with another spelljammer ship he spent several decades visiting other realms besides his own of Aragoth. On one of his trips to the city of Onyxmourne, he was stunned at the way they used magic and machine together. With his captains permission he stayed for a year to learn what he could of the art of Artificing.
While in in transit to rejoin his crew, Mason heard a commotion down down in the galley and saw a incredible elven woman being assaulted by a pair of drunken crew members. While fighting the pair the fight moved up on the top deck. Other crew joined in to restrain one of the attacking drunkards but the other was unfortunatly knocked overboard.
Without thinking Mason threw himself overboard after him and for the first time in years, he unforled his hidden wings and saved the man from drifting into the Astral Sea. Bringing him back on the ship Mason quickly furled his wings back into their pockets just so the staring would stop.
Mason fell instantly in love. After escorting her home, Amelia told her father Arlo what he did for her. Mason surprised to learn they were one of the noble houses. Arlo offered anything to repay him for what he did and all Mason asked for was Amelia's hand in marriage.
Arlo was hesitant at first but seeing the way the two looked at each other Arlo knew this would be a better match then the man, Reginald Theros 6th, trying to buy her hand and was only interested in his company.
After Mason and Amelia were wed, Mason took to doing escort run for Arlo's company when he wanted an extra eye kept on something with one of his shipments.
Even though Mason was a follower of Tymora, he was still looked upon as a abomination by some of the religious organizations. Doesn't help that Reginald constantly talks down about Mason to the other houses.
