Federick Bering

Federick Bering, Young Groom (Anil Kelso), age 19
You are Federick Bering, son of Jackson Bering. You have a passion for working in the Factory that few else have. Your father certainly doesn't share your enthusiasm. You know he used to be a blacksmith before the Emperor, but he doesn't seem to care about his work now. You are quite different from him. Every second you work in that factory, your mind is alight with the pure world of theoretical mechanics, bolts, lathes, and raw materials. You think in terms of tolerances and resiliency.
You are betrothed to Elizabeta Scordata (Sam Strauss) with whom you are deeply in love. She is kind and innocent, much like yourself. You have little experience in the field of romance, but you know that women deserve kindness and courtesy. You've always treated Elizabeta with respect, and you certainly weren't expecting the kiss she gave you the day you promised to marry each other. Her parents had already promised her to you, but it was important for her that it be, on some level, your choice as well.
You ARE in love with Elizabeta, but there is something else at play. You feel a kind of compulsion to marry her, as if it was something outside of your control. You think that you would not be able to not marry her, even if your father called off the engagement. ((Sam doesn't know this, by the way, and your character is not fully conscious of it himself. The point is, keep it to yourself.))
You know that to provide for the family you and Elizabeta want to make, you're going to need a promotion at the factory. You've applied for one several times now, but your boss, Sebastian Smith, keeps turning you down. You plan to deliver another application tonight, along with some of your designs. Hopefully he'll look at them and see your talent. You don't know what you'll do if he denies your application again. You're a young, passionate man, and you are certain there is someone in the world who wants these designs.
