Dungaree

==Description== 
Name: Dungaree Fizzlegear 
Race: Gnome 
Class: Technomage: Apprentice of the two greatest forces on Azeroth - Technology and Magic! 
Professions: Mining and Enginnering 
Age: 82 years (about 35 or 36 in human terms) 
Birthplace: Not entirely sure (See "Background") 
Current Residence: A house perfect for an engineer in the Hall of Explorers in Ironforge 
Specialization: Fire magic, and making things that go BOOM! 
Affiliation: Dungaree is currently in the guild Watchers of the Deep.
He doesn't have a tight group of friends, but rather a few random friends with totally different personalities. 
Alignment: Neutral Good, Generally a nice guy to be around with. 
Appearance: Dungaree is about 3 feet 5 inches tall, and weighs in around 45 pounds. 
Dungaree has wide cyan-blue eyes, a kind face, and off-white hair in an "interesting" style. First off, he doesn't have any hair along the direct top part of his head. (due to an accident with an Electro-Radiator, mentioned in the Adventures and Stories" section.) The remaining hair on his head juts out the sides on a horizontal plane, defying the properties of hair and the laws of gravity.
He also has a thick beard that gives bonus protection to his chin and neck, and a finely-waxed pointy mustache.
Dungaree always has on a pair of Flying Tiger Goggles, and wears comfortable, inexpensive linen clothes when he decides to work with engineering. When it's time to fight, though, he chooses to wear a state-of-the-art woolen tunic and finely-stitched leggings. He always has about 4 or 5 different types of bombs strapped around him, along with some more various trinkets.
 
== Personality == 
Dungaree Fizzlegear is a fairly quiet gnome, but willing to make tons of new friends. One of the things he hates most is being alone and bored. So, he is almost always seen working at Tinker Town, or trying to create new types of bombs and boomsticks! He also likes to travel to Stormwind and Goldshire to try and find people that share his same interests, and to have a nice talk.
== Background== 
82 years ago, a woven basket was left on the front porch of the Blastenbum's house in Gnomeregan. When Mr. Blastenbum opened the door, he saw the basket and a note adressed to him. As he peered inside, he saw a little baby gnome no bigger than his hand. With white hair. And a beard. He shrieked and nearly dropped the basket, but got ahold of himself and brought the little gnome inside. When Mrs. Blastenbum took a look, she felt sorry for the poor thing and decided that they must adopt him.
During his childhood, Dungaree was constantly being made fun of for his white beard and hair. So one day when he got home from engineering school, he shaved it all off. Little did he realize his head was shaped like a peanut. The next day during class, he was made fun of even more than usual. Dungaree got so annoyed that he decided to run away. During the night, he slipped out of bed and crept silently through the magnificent city of Gnomeregan. When he reached the exit, he began walking. He didn't know exactly where he was headed, but he didn't care. Soon, the cold air began to get to him. He had never been out into the freezing snow of Dun Morogh before. Before you could say "Gnomish Universal Remote," he collapsed. The next day, or possibly later that day, or possibly a few days later, Dungaree woke up in a small tent. Peering over him was a young dwarf with blazing red hair, and a beard. The dwarf's name was Balkir Frosthammer.
It turned out that Balkir had noticed a diminutive figure collapse in the snow, and ran over there to rescue him. 
During his stay at Brewnall Village, Dungaree became best friends with Balkir. He also met a old gnome named Varin Magesprocket, who lived in the hills nearby. Dungaree became increasingly interested in the magic that Varin used, and began practicing some of it for himself. When he "accidently" turned a Dun Morogh Mountaineer into a sheep, he was promtly escorted back to Gnomeregan.
When Dungaree was around 40 years old, (about 18 or 19 in human years,) he decided to join the Gnomeregan Rocket Racing League. At first, he always ended up in last place. His plain old Rocket-Car just wasn't cutting it. So, he spent hours and hours perfecting the newest improvement for his racer. The night before the final race of the season, he opened up the engine of his Rocket-Car and installed the new component. The next day, Dungaree had a wide grin on his face. He knew that if he could win this race, he would no longer be jested at by his fellow gnomes. The minutes were ticking by... Dungaree's little palms got sweaty. Then they got even more sweaty. Then they got REAL sweaty. Finally, the referee stepped up and held up a red and white checkered flag, and began to count down. Three...Two...One... ... ... GO!!!!! Dungaree put his racer on full throttle, and held on for dear life. But the racer didn't move one bit. It stayed right there behind the starting line, while all the other racers sped on in front of him. Dungaree flew into rage, pounding his fists on the control panel. While he was flailing around, his hand pounded down on the button marked with the word "On." The engine sputtered, and Dungaree looked down at the control panel to see what a complete fool he had been. But before he could think much more, the car sped forward mercilessly! Dungaree grabbed the controls and steered the racer on toward the others. Within about 20 seconds, or 22 seconds, he had pulled himself into first place! He could not believe it! He was going to win! And he did just that. The crowd went wild! Dungaree had managed to find a way to make the fastest vehicle ever! When Dungaree opened up the engine on his racer, he noticed that all the gears had spun and ground so fast that they had begun to turn to a fizzling molten metal!
Not long afterward, it was time for Dungaree's coming-of-age ceremony, in which he would receive a new last name, based on the best achievement of his lifetime. During the celebration, High Tinker Mekkatorque himself gave Dungaree his new last name, which turned out to be Fizzlegear, for his award winning engine improvment that made the gears in his racer fizzle! Dungaree needles to say, was very proud!
Another 30 years passed, and Dungaree became very succesful. Although he had quit racing, he'd won enough prize money to last him for years. All was well, until... The Troggs invaded.
Dungaree was sitting in his quarters, when he heard a violent pounding on the door. All of a sudden, a voice broke out through the Gnomatic Speakers in his house. It was the voice of Mekkatorque. He said that the Troggs had crawled out through the bowels of Azeroth and were invading the gnomes' beloved city. Mekkatorque called for all the able bodied gnomes to meet Gnomeregan's Field commander at the Military District. Dungaree got up instantly to look through the peep-hole in his door. Sure enough, there was a couple of Troggs banging wildly at the door. Taking a copper bomb out of his belt, he quickly through it out an upstairs window. There was a lound BANG! And then there was no sound. Just then, the vents in his room began spewing out a naucious green gas. Radiation Gas. Not good. Dungaree grabbed his keys and flew out the door. He put a large brass key into the ignition of his racer, and started it up. As Dungaree was fleeing the city in his racer, he stopped to pick up as many people as he could, including his parents, the Blastenbums. Racing through the city, he and his racer, and the other people clinging on to the racer, got out the main gates just before the Radiation Gas overtook everything.
==Current Day==
Dungaree currently resides in a large house in the Hall of Explorers in Ironforge, a gift to him by his good friend Zeakio. He has taken up the magical arts again recently, and likes to combine those skills with engineering to master the art of the Technomage!
Dungaree currently works at Tinker Town, as the owner of his shop "Bombs and Boomsticks." He and Zeakio are also planning to bring back Zeak's old inn/bar, because Zeakio rarely gets any customers.
==Friends==
Balkir Frosthammer - A good friend ever since Dungaree met him long ago in Brewnall Village.
Zeakio - A fairly new friend that's very aspiring and helpful. He is responsible for helping Dungaree get a house and a new job in Ironforge. 
Lorquey - A very fun-to-be-with young gnome. She loves to help people and can make anyone happy, even those gloomy old Draenei.
Khas - Dungaree met up with Khas a while back. Khas usually seems troubled, but can be very friendly.
Bhugu - A Tauren who is one of Dungaree's best friends and acts as a translator for him.
