Personality: Tink is an excitable Gnome who enjoys the company of others and is always looking to help where and when possible. Due to his enigmatic nature, Tink gets excitable quite easily, being seen to twitch and fidget at the sight of materials and such, usable for his inventions. His mind has been known to wander a little during invention mind-storming, not rarely thinking bigger than is actually physically possible. However, it is due to this mind that Tink has actually gotten out of even the most impossible circumstances at times. Although he is seen as quite a fierce competitor in the field of battle, in the past he's actually been known to freeze under one circumstance - Large enemies. Not a few feet higher than him, no. Enemies the size of Pitlords, Titans and Fel-Reavers. However, this is a phobia he is working on overcoming, and with the help of friends, he has managed to overcome most challenges.

History: Tink was a typical Gnome-ish lad back in Gnomeregan, his mother, Amy, was a mother of three, Tink and his two older twin brothers, Zipp and Zapp. His father, Tiggle, was a Tram-Engineer, engineering the trams that went around Gnomeregan. It was an alright life for Tink, though he was constantly picked on as the youngest by his two older brothers, sometimes even going and helping his Dad when he could just by bringing him his lunch. Tink loved watching his father work, his mind baffled by the engineering prowess of the Trams. It was because of this that later in life, Tink earned his last name.

However, this all changed when the Troggs attacked. The Gnomeregan Special Forces began evacuating everyone, Tink being forced among them, desperately trying to find his brothers and parents. But... as he was later told, his brothers - irradiated and turned - killed both their parents. Suddenly, without anyone knowing, Tink was shoved out of the crowd and down a small dug out hole. As Tink rose his head, he suddenly froze in fear to the large looming beast over him. A Trogg, larger than ordinary Troggs, arose and roared at him, raising his foot to squish the little one. Tink closed his eyes, expecting death to follow, but all Tink heard was a large bang, and a thud. When he opened his eyes, Tink was astonished to see that the Trogg was lying dead in front of him, a Gnome standing on it with a Gun in his hands, one of the Special Task Forces.

"Come on you, let's get you out of here." he said, throwing down a dagger for Tink to use. There was no other way out but fighting, and thats exactly what Tink and Spark did. Tink and Spark exchanged names, while Spark showed Tink how to use the dagger he was supplied with, and after hours of fighting through what seemed endless waves of Troggs, they made it to the rest of Special Forces, who escorted them out. Tink never forgot the Gnome that saved his life, even going to his funeral when he unfortunately passed away.

Ever since those fateful days, Tink has now taken to learning to use weapons, even ranking into the Gnomeregan Elite. Tink's hand with engineering, remembering what his father taught him, earned him the last name Tigglesparks, after his creation - The Tiggle-Spark, in honor of his father and for the gnome who saved him. Nowadays, Tink has resigned from the Gnomeregan Elite, now wishing to explore the world rather than be confined to a small space with only one set task. He hopes that one day, his engineering and his skills as a warrior can come together as one.
