Bingles Gearsprocket : The Biography WIP
#1
This is supposed to serve as an extended version of my current characters history, and a replacement for my future history if I decide to rewrite my profile once again. Please post feedback in my feedback thread which is in my signature



Chapter I: The Beginning

150 years ago it was a snowy day in the town of Kharanos, many dwarves lived in the city at the time. It was rare to find a Gnomish couple in the town, because at that time the majority of the gnomes lived in Gnomeregan. The technological wonder of the world, it was an underground metropolis which housed thousands of gnomes who loved to make and sell gizmos. It was the capital of Tinkers and Engineers alike, all working together for the Alliance and themselves. But for Berley and Welma, they loved to explore as teenagers in Gnomeregan, but it was time to expand their boundaries. They left Gnomeregan at the ages of 25, they went to the Badlands and Dun Moroughs surrounding areas for years until they finally settled in Kharanos as mechanized vehicle dealers and tuners. They were talented engineers, they could make many gizmos out of simple ingredients.

After many years of being a couple, Welma was finally pregnant with her first child. And the day of the birth was upon them. After many hours of labor, Bingles Silvercog was born. He was a rather decent sized gnome, he had naturally silver colored hair and a large pair of eyes. The birth was celebrated in Kharanos, many of the dwarves made it an excuse to get completely drunk like every other weekend.

Bingles grew up in a decent home, at an early age he learned how to heat his home if it was cold. His first words were "Fun" in Gnomish, an oddity to Berley and Welma who were trying to teach him "Mama" and "Papa" for the longest time. At the age of three, Welma had her second child and named him Charlie. Bingles was slightly jealous of all the attention they were given the newborn, but he managed to get used of it.

As they grew up, Charlie really became a pest to Bingles. He would mess up his toolbox and all sorts of stuff just to annoy him. Bingles wasn't very happy about it and they occasionally got into several fights over who's tools and toys was whose. They both grew up together interested in their own things. Bingles was very interested in Engineering, he made his first creation out of gunpowder and several other items he found on the streets of Kharanos.

He made his first bomb at the age of 7, and his parents were kind of afraid if he would grow up to be a goblin type engineer. But after a while of playing with other ingredients, Bingles created his first set of goggles. They were rather simple but they helped him see better, he found out himself he was farsighted. He impressed everyone in the town, many people said he had great potential and he was going to be a Grand Master Engineer one day. His father, Berley began helping Bingles with his engineering. He started to teach him the basics of engineering, bombs, goggles and how to make certain parts. Bingles created his first exploding sheep at the age of 8. A big achievement for him. He continued to create more and more devices, he was certainly talented with this profession.

By the age of 18 Bingles began learning Magics from a Mage from eastern Dun Morough. The mage was his mentor and his parents were very excited for Bingles. There was no mage in Kharanos before him, officially who went to Dalaran. The Mage taught him the very basics, the Fireball, The Frostbolt and the Arcane Explosion, one of Bingles' favorite spells. He wanted to advance his magic knowledge further, but unfortunately the mentor did no longer want to teach him because he himself wasn't very confident with his further understandings.

At the age of 20 Bingles decided he was going to move to Dalaran, he heard it was a very nice city that trained a lot of magi from anywhere. His parents were very opposed to the decision, telling Bingles that he might be taking his curiosity to the next level. Several arguments ensued, then eventually Bingles has won over them and was granted permission to move to Dalaran. The parents were very sad and wanted Bingles to help out with the family business, but Bingles wanted to become more than just a simple engineer. He wanted to become a Kirin Tor Magi.

Chapter II: Initiation


Once Bingles moved to the majestic city of Dalaran, he was very pleased with the neatness of the city and the welcoming attitude that was shown there. He applied for all three courses of the magi-learning classes. He did not apply for any advanced courses though, he wanted to be the jack of all trades. His favorite course had to be frost, he quickly learned all the intermediate ice-shard spells. He had made his own spell, mixed with fire and frost and ice shards. He created the Frostfire Shards, a barrage of shards that are mixed with fire and frost. It can be devastating and destructive.

He didn't like to hang out with the taller crowds in Dalaran, he found out most of them like to pick on him because of his height. It was extremely irritating for the small gnome. He couldn't take the inconsideration about his height and how it changed people's perception about his knowledge and abilities. He stuck to the gnomish crowd, all of them were from Gnomeregan. He liked to listen to their stories about the magnificent city he always dreamed of living in. They all exchanged stories about their homes.

After years of living in Dalaran, Bingles has finally completed all courses with amazing talents. The professors were very impressed with Bingles. With this motivation, he en-rolled for more advanced courses in spell-creation classes. Here he would learn how to better customize his own spells and make more unique ones. He prefected his Frostfire Shards spell, and it was more than devastating. He began to fool around with more spells, he created the Frostbolt Barrage. Which is just a Frostbolt at casting, then in mid-air it splits up and becomes multiple ice shards. He was more than happy with his work.

He passed again with astonishing grades, but now Bingles was becoming home sick. He moved back to Kharanos more quickly with the help of teleportation. He got back to Kharanos with the news his brother has moved to Gnomeregan. Bingles didn't want to move away from his parents after that long life in Dalaran. He helped them out with the Mechano-Strider shop, accelerating sales over time. Berley and Welma were pleased that Bingles came back to help with the family business. But everything was about to change for the worst.
