Appropriate clothing at any moment. In warm-weather areas he leans to thinner cloths with limited if any armor. In cold-weather areas, he utilizes his huge Dwarven winter garb.

Personality

This Dwarf is amiable and thoughtful. Things like philosophy and mystery excite him. He is interested in understanding, and once he understands, he is interested in achieving. He isn't a competitive person with other people, rather he likes to compete with himself. Almost everything he does is in the effort to push himself. Because of this, if he isn't stimulated by a new study topic he grows obsessive. He is capable of compassion and attracted to the idea of mercy. The idea of murder horrifies him. It's almost ironic that he is obsessive about guns. He is a complete gun nut and loves to compare and contrast his arsenal to other enthusiasts. If there are two words to describe Aigenn, it is 'Scientist' and 'Traditionalist'. He wants knowledge, he's hungry for it, and once he gets it, he wants to lock himself up in a tower for a few thousand years and come out when he has discovered the next best thing since sliced bread. At the same time, he wants to wave his Ironforge flag, embellish his culture, and please the folks back home.

Other: Aigenn is pretty interested in magic. He bought some property in Dalaran to conduct his studies on the topic.

History

Aigenn was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, or at least, it was put there very quickly. Inside the bowl of the gilded utensil was his first bit of alchohol. It is tradition of the Goldscript clan that dates back many years. Aigenn has been raised on tradition since a baby. He was taught by the members of his clan, his extended family.. The traditional Dwarven arts and sciences were no real mystery to him and probing the mind of a cousin or grandmother answered all of the questions he could conjure in childhood. Aigenn was never satisfied with what his inner family could offer, he decided to challenge himself. He never expected it would challenge tradition, however.

Aigenn joined the 14th regiment Redscale riflemen. It was easy to take up a hobby, but to dedicate yourself to the Dwarven riflemen was a huge honor. Aigenn went through the training and didn't find himself battle ready for many years. His late teenage years were spent learning how to fight, but Aigenn was never a fighter. He saw the 14th regiment as more of a civil duty than an actual company of warriors. For the most part, he was right, that is until his unit was pulled into the Stormpike Guard to help fight the Frostwolves in the Alterac Valleys many years later. Before, Aigenn just found himself on uneventful expeditions. The shock of a real military operation was eye-opening. Aigenn couldn't sleep for the first few days, he never expected to actually have to fight. The experience was interesting to say the least. Aigenn discovered who he was. He found himself prodding an Orc with his bayonet and has decided he cannot kill easily. The 'expedition' (see: war) taught Aigenn more about himself than he was ever able to discover from a second hand source.

Aigenn came back with some badges and some medals, he followed orders easily enough. It was easier for Aigenn to kill when he deluded himself into thinking his captain 'made him do it'. His family was proud, so proud in fact, that they hosted a party for their little soldier. He wasn't so little anymore, and bulked up in the expedition and grew in mind and body. Aigenn's next adventure would span a lifetime. His quest for knowledge had only just begun.

With an insatiable wanderlust, a hunger for knowledge, skills to pay the bills, and really really deep pockets, Aigenn seeks to to understand everything there is to understand. He's looking for a wife, trophies, and answers to his greatest questions.
