===Details===
 Size: Medium
 Gender: Male
 Age: 20
 Height: 5' 10"
 Weight: 207 lb
Hair Color: Mahogany
 Eye Color: Black
Skin Color: A tanned skin tone with hints of green in the shadows and gray,
 almost silvery highlights. He gets plenty of cardio & sunshine.
Appearance: Hanging off him awkwardly is a massive orc axe stolen from his
 biological "family" by his true, gnomish family. His spell
 component pouches bear the logo of a somewhat well-known bardic
 college. The next thing that catches your eye is a brutal set 
 of tusks, making fearsome a face that might otherwise be 
 ruggedly dashing.
 
 His clothing is practical, loose travel wear that looks a mite
 faded and worn in spots. A healthy assortment of pockets sport,
 among other things, a shiny, well-kept marching fife and a
 ukelele that appears to have been broken and repaired a few
 times.
 Demeanor: He's usually lost in thought or observing people nearby. Some
 mistake this for the typical brusque or antisocial behavior of
 a less sociable half-orc. When he does interact more directly,
 he has a deep, hearty chuckle and a sunny disposition.
 
 He has a gnome-like curiosity as well as passion for learning and
 wordplay. Practical jokes, however, provoke a wrath more worthy
 of his blood heritage - he was always barred from using his size
 advantage for acts of vengeance, making him resentful. For 
 anyone smaller than him who does NOT play pranks on him, however,
 he has friendship, assistance, and knowledge to spare.
===Background===
*Raised by gnomes, and taught by his adoptive parents in particular to appreciate the values of Annaya and Ral
*Orcs raided a gnome settlement for slaves and sacrifices. Unable to face the orcs in open combat, the gnomes instead snuck off with some of the orc children for a hostage exchange. Unimpressed, the orcs executed the captives and ate the gnomish diplomat. The gnomes moved to a new location, and some of the bereaved parents raised the orc and half-orc children as their own.
*Bipper was the best behaved of these orphans, and became somewhat of a community mascot, giving weight to the community's belief that good can come of tragedy. Embracing his role as mascot, Bipper developed a rich, baritone singing voice, and was accepted to a bardic college almost instantly when he came of age.
*The study of Alchemy was irresistibly alluring, and Bipper quickly began flunking out of any classes that didn't relate to science! He broke into restricted areas to further his own studies. As a potential danger to himself and other students, he was kicked out of the college.
*He went out into the world both to continue his pursuit of chemical and magical knowledge, and also for a change of scenery: it's not just the appeal of practical experience, but also the idea of no longer being the only medium-sized guy around, which drew him away from home. Being the center of a village's attention was fun in many ways for Bipper, but also a high-pressure role that he feared he'd fail, much like college.
===Adventure Hooks===
*Anything involving the racial identity of orcs, gnomes, or displaced/adoptive upbringings is of interest and helps me further flesh out Bipper's backstory.
*Ol' Bips would be especially happy if there was a way to eradicate or make peace with the orcs who ravaged his adoptive parents' former village.
*Further on down the line in the future, he might be looking at using the rebuild option to switch to Grenadier, Mindchemist, or Vivisectionist. For him, it'll be not just a feat-esque "option", but more of an eventful change in philosophy and/or combat style. Like a prestige class, sorta. This is dependent on how well "vanilla" alchemist plays out for me and how much Bipper's personality changes over time, but I'd love for it to be part of his story and not just a number tweak.
*Adventures about freedom and the downtrodden are good. He's quite happily CG, a liberator and hero of the common man. Laws are meant to be bent or broken in pursuit of progress and liberty. Alternatively, adventures where a choice must be made between the C and the G, or an unjust and draconian lawfulness are better than the alternative, could be interesting to test his beliefs.
*Old buddies from the bard college might have some disdainful laughs at his expense, or try to urge him away from the dangerous path of alchemy.
