Hinap Of Adath
Hinap (a.k.a. The Grandfather of Engineering)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
At a young age Hinap was already fascinated with creating all kinds of mechanical systems. His first creation is said to have been a wooden contraption that allowed him to send messages from his room to his mother downstairs, by means of a rolling stick with a note attached to it.
By age 13 he had created a contraption called a "choakra" or loosely translate 'land boat'. It was a small lightweight cart, that would propel itself by means of the wind and allow the rider to control its speed to some extend, without having to use a break. The choakra is believed to have become so popular, that full fledged competitions were eventually held on the beaches outside Hinap.
By age 21 he had build the first known example of a vendor machine. A fisher would insert a specific coin, which he bought beforehand and a handful of fishing-hooks would be returned.
Hinap was a master engineer and a genius when it came to mechanical creations and he would go on to establish the legendary Ingenaron in Rodahl. He is also accredited with at least describing the principle of multi-gear shifting. He is also believed to be the first to provide in detail the schematics the first steam machine. Aptly named the Hinapolvo.
Personality Characteristics
Likes & Dislikes
Hinap held an irrational disgust for fish. He frequently exclaimed, that he would one day create a contraption that would take all fish from the seas and send them directly to the eternal flames of the underworld.
He was also known to storm into various temples, demanding to speak whoever or whatever, that had deemed it necessary to create fish. Many faithful present would have taken offence or laughed it away, if wasn't for the fact that Hinap always looked completely earnest in making this demand.
Social
Religious Views
None of his works ever mention his religious views directly. When providing commentary on his contemporaries who were religious, he usually does this with an amount of disdain. His disdain for faith, didn't seem to be focussed on the possibility of a divine being, but on the common requirement to worship these divinities.
