Dimitris Har'd Ware

Worldsmith Dimitris Har d' Ware (a.k.a. Dimi)

I will find out his preference eventually.

- Secret admirer

Known for his grand ideas and relentless drive, Dimitris shaped the way of metalworking within the human settlement of Wa'disc. That said, his works only became known outside of the settlement towards the end of his life and especially after death.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Early in his life Dimitris built up an imposing physique through the hard blacksmith work. The muscles never stopped being impressive, but later in his life one could see the fine motor skills drifting away.

Identifying Characteristics

A spark burned through the pupil in his left eye while he was quite young, causing blindness in that eye and a tendency to constantly have it closed.

Apparel & Accessories

No matter where he went, or what the occasion, Dimitris would always wear a heavy leather apron with a pocket containing a large hammer.

Mental characteristics

Education

Taking up his fathers work as a blacksmith Dimitris was given all the available knowledge about metalworking that was in the town.

Employment

Only on a special occasion would Dimitris stop his experiments and artistry in order to work for normal pay. One such occasion was when the popular ruler had died and Dimitris was asked to create a metal weave for the burial ceremony.

The way Dimitris sustained himself most of the time was through donations from other smiths. These were given in order to get access to the knowledge gained during his experiments.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Throughout his life Dimitris pioneered metalworking and smithing in all parts of the craft including, but not limited to, alloys, hardening and forging.

All of these accomplishments combined awarded him the title of "worlsmith" after his death, granted by other smiths who have appreciated the great progress made in the field.

Failures & Embarrassments

A thing that Dimitris could never let go off was the idea of the perfect anvil. One anvil that could be used to craft any metal object, no matter the size or shape.

It goes without saying that this never succeeded, but it must be said that quite a number of specialised anvils for various blacksmiths, including armour and weapon, came out of these experiments.

At various times he tried to claim that he had succeeded, but every time some specialised anvil was still needed.

Mental Trauma

If anyone asked Dimitris, after he had come of age, what the worst thing in life was he would always respond with:

Hitting my hand with the sledgehammer. Still have the scars, you know.

Social

Hobbies & Pets

Dimitris had a few cats throughout his life, which he sometimes used as a comparison against his own works.

Speech

Not going into synonyms in order to liven up his speech was the Dimitris way. One of the most well known words he always used was the word "actually".

Wealth & Financial state

Dimitris was never considered rich, but due to his fame and his outstanding work, he could live comfortably for his entire life.
