 * Casual Outfit:leather pants, sleeveless leather shirt, heavy leather apron, and thick heat shielded gloves for working with high temperature metal.

3) Characteristics:
 * Personality:Aggesive but not short tempered, deceptively intelligent and fascinated with technology. Baruq has transformed the team dorm into a weapons workshop complete with anvil and blast furnace. He is constantly tinkering with upgrades for his teams weapons, few of which are implemented. not exactly the most charismatic of people, Baruq tends to be very blunt and rational, however he is a good person in spte of his attitude. very few people are willing to give him a chance because he can be quite intimidating, however the few who do find him to be quite personable.
 * Background:The second oldest member of team WGRN, Baruq is the son of the village blacksmith and one ofthe duaghters of the previous chief, having learned techniques for forging dust into metal when he was still a child, he started making weapons on his own at the age of 12. when he moved to Vale and started at beacon, he developed a keen interest in the technology available to the four kingdoms and started learning everything he could about it, going so far as to convert half of the teams dorm into a weapons workshop so he could experiment with folding frame technology. In spite of the fact that both of his parents were killed when the village was destroyed, he has continued to work towards his goal of becoming a master smith. Since most of the team room is occupied by Baruq's workshop, he and the others sleep on oversized bean bag chairs scattered though the opposite half of the dorm.

4) Combat info:
 * Position/Class:controller/striker(hard to classify)
 * Landing strategy:conjures his golem to act as a shield around his body
 * Weapon:Mahdrescher (harvester, Full Revolving Auto Hammer) a great-hammer measuring 7' long with a drum shaped head 1' in diameter, one end of the head is composed of 15 50 caliber gun barrels attached to a rotating assembly, the other end tapers down slightly to a plateau and has a large hole in the middle with a protruding aperture vent that is used as a thruster and to balance recoil, the surrounding disk is actually the magazine, containing  200 rounds of belted, case-less dust ammunition. the hammers shaft folds into segments that fit in four parallel grooves on the head of the hammer, while a pair of handles extend from the body. the front handle has a button trigger for firing the gun. also on the shaft of the hammer is a panel trigger for the thruster to enhance force behind swings.
 * Semblance:Golem An Ethereal projection of aura in a roughly humanoid form, mimics his movement and can be summoned in part. Baruq typically uses it by overlaying with the Golem on his hands and arms. While the projection possesses great strength, it is not very solid. Dust gives the construct a more stable form, allowing him to wear it as armor or use it for performing heavy work, such as carrying large loads of scrap metal for use in his forge.
 * Fighting style:quickly wipes out large clusters of weak enemies with suppressive gunfire and powerfull augmented swings of his hammer, helps pin down large enemies as well.

5) Trivia:
 * Relationships:(brain sudenly stopped, will complete a bit later)
 * Notes:(ditto)
