From his position down below, he'd often look up and see the gliders passing by overhead. Despite his joy at working with what was basically a giant crossbow, it wasn't long before he applied for a transfer to join the gliders. The gnomes, however, were reluctant to let a human so close to their technology. He re-applied each time he was refused, but all to no avail.
He'd only been with the gnomes for another two years when he received the injury that would force him to leave. Khazard's soldiers launched a massive attack all along the line, and Sand was caught out in no-man's land alone at the time. Having never had to kill a man in battle before, he faltered, and was stabbed through the eye for his troubles by a man probably just as inexperienced as he was - or he might've finished the job. The damage was slight, but the eye was lost, and it was ironic that a Khazard officer would find him and, not suspecting a human would side with the gnomes, mistook him for a traveller in the wrong place at the wrong time. He saw to it that Sand got the medical attention he required from their own medics.
Unable to signal effectively with one eye, and knowing that it'd only be a matter of time before the Khazards figured out who he was, he fled the field hospital one night as soon as he was strong enough and began the journey home.
Confident enough to make a living from his skills as a slayer, he returned to Varrock and became a slayer under the reign of Princess Puppy and King John Vimes, though his skills were rarely needed. It was only when vampyres attacked the city that he was called on, and the militia he gathered was more than succesful, thoroughly driving the creatures from the city and ensuring no further attacks would come. It was this act that saw him made general of the city's army, and saw him lead it against the likes of Russia, the Sicarius, and all manner of assorted nastiness. The injuries he recieved fighting the Sicarius would ever change him, though.

He was left crippled, unable to walk for roughly ten years of his life. He remained in his position as general, however, confident that no one could lead his men better than himself. His resentment at being left to fight alone when his army scattered, however, would change him. He became far less forgiving, knowingly sending soldiers to their deaths and killing many of his own men himself to inspire fear and discipline. It wasn't long before he was forced to resign due to his own cruelty, though was picked up quickly by a family named the Traven, and seeing strength in them, took the name gladly.
Most are fully aware of the Traven's actions, their conquering of the city of Varrock, and their eventual destruction of the castle. He was complicit in all this, though his eagerness to betray the Princess was never ascertained, and some say he still regrets this deeply.
His life after the Traven is largely a mystery, though what is known is that he signed on with an expedition in Rellekka to map the coastlines of the isles, and that he eventually showed up in Morytania fighting alongside the Myreque, even leading his own Row. How he came to leave the dark country is unknown, however, as is his return to the west.

I'm quite particular to doing things thoroughly IC'ly, so my order form will be in the form of a letter, if that's alright with yourself.
_________________________________________________________________

* A letter, addressed to a Mr. B. Avery would arrive, the envelope nothing spectacular or fancy, much like the parchment itself. The style of writing would be rather scrawly *
Dear Mr. Avery,
I am not sure how this is supposed to work but allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lionel Artoni, I am a farmer and live, with my family, on a small farm house, in southern Asgarnia, not far from Rimmington.
As a special gift for my son's upcoming nineteenth birthday, I'd like to provide him a sword, though I had a special one in mind.
The weapon itself, I'd much like to be one handed, with a long, single-edged side, curving slightly. If possible could the blade be made from a special mix of steel and mithril. I once overheard some locals of Falador explaining this combination allows the strength of steel, but the lightweight of mithril.
As for the hilt, I'd like it to be whichever you so please, though, with the ruby I've attached to be implemented into the bottom. Along the side of the hilt, if you could engrave The initials of "B. A" I'd muchly appreciate it.
I don't have much in terms of monetary value, though my savings should be enough to cover the cost.
If any troubles, please get in touch, my address is at the bottom.
Thank you,
Lionel Artoni.

P.S. My Address is:
Artoni House
St. Rimmington Way
Rimmington
Jim cest of Rivendell

*Through the cover of night, a single figure would step into the south gates of Falador, followed by a few more shadows pulling a small wooden cart. The silence of the night shattered by the squealing cart as it's pulled towards the massive complex surrounding the mines. The cart would be lowered near the north west doorway, and the boxes on it emptied beside the door.
Just as quickly as they came, the men would leave, one shadow standing alone holding a small sealed envelope, he would neatly pin it to the door of the mining guild, and leave. Once more, it would be titled to one "Brock Avery" and sealed with an intricate wax print "M". If opened the note would say,
"Dear Sir Avery,
You know who writes this, your close friend. The boxes near your doorway are filled with the matierial we discussed earlier, I trust you and your workers to keep this between you and I.
I've also left a small sketch, a blue print if you will. I've provided enough raw ore I believe to make a copy of this sketch, I've left my own measurements. Oh yes, I'd like this done by you personally unless you're behind on other business.
As usual the pay will be increased and my thanks are many, I'll meet with you again at your earliest convenience, sir Avery.
Your friend,
Vicentai Mordecai."
the final man would pull a metallic mask over his tree bark brown hair, and drift into the darkness himself, heading the way he and his associates arrived.*

Next time we're in game together and you nor I are too busy, I'd like another Rp, this one might be just a few words or, depending how it goes, a decent length. Look forward to seeing you.
Wacko

So I have an idea about Lycan and Vampyre Proofing Doors... Mix Silver in with whatever other kind of metal you want, and then add some wolfbane to that mix.
Brock, I hope that this will sufice as an explanation of my idea...

* A very simple piece of parchment would be found by anyone checking the mailbox at the Artisan's Workshop, delivered by a courier. The courier hangs around awkwardly until he is paid - it being his first day, he mistakenly put the letter into the box without ensuring his payment beforehand. *
To the powers that be,
I'd like to pick up the following from the Artisan's Workshop in Falador when I pass through.
Mithril bars x20 (twenty)
Silver bars x10 (ten)
10 kg sack of coal x1 (one)
If possible, I'd like to pay for these upon receiving them rather than come back later to drop off the company's percentage, but I'll defer to company's judgement should this be unsuitable.

- Personality: Reserved, Intelligent
- Physical Description: 5' 10" 130 lbs. slightly skinny from hours of studying.
- Biography: Kalcipher a young student at the wizards tower found himself in a load of trouble after losing focus during a spell. He somehow managed to stop levitating a glob of molten iron dropping it on the floor this caused a minor fire, but the ore also burned its way into the room below (the head wizards office). Losing most of his coins from the entry cost of magic classes and repairs to the floor and office he now needs a way to make some coins with his limited skills. Going bake to the tower is not an option. Lost in the world he found a flier on the ground of Varrock advertising the Avery Mining Co. and thought that would be a good place to start.

- Full time or Part time: Full time
- Training: During my training at the wizards tower I began to study the use of fire. I almost perfected a technique of levitating ores while applying intense amounts of heat to them to shape them into bars rapidly. Cooling them extremely quickly is not a problem either as I studied a bit of water magics. The finished bar is cool to the touch and is able to be shipped on the spot. The quality is not as good as a traditionally made bar but the speed of the process is unbelievable.
