Patrick O'landry

From Brass Goggles

(The following article is a work in progress)

Patrick O'Landry is a persona used in the Steam London roleplay thread of brass goggles. He was invented and written by Patrick O'Driscoll, AKA Nigel Wetherby.

Background

Patrick O'Landry was born beneath the noose of a hanging prostitute in Dublin Ireland. Apparently the stress of her own hanging did not cause the child to suffer as she had been hung during the act of labour. Days had passed until a priest, who so happened to be passing through, took the malnourished child in. Patrick was raised for 11 years in the local catholic orphanage. As the years passed, Patrick took to reading contraband books on everything technmological, much to the chagrin of the pastor, whom was a devout luddite.

He apparently absorbed every word of information, as simply reading about them gave him a complete understanding of Aetheric sciences, machinery, weapon design, and all things mechanical. After being punished for building an aether oscilliation ray out of the church toaster he ran away. Taking up the title of "Combat Engineer for Hire" Patrick has apparenltly served on multiple ships, including the Japanese battle freighters "Hitotsume" and "Hattori Hanzo". Patrick has also served aboard the Eastern Star under his captain-turned-rival Captain Black.

Talents

Patrick appears to be a veritable Jack-of-all-trades, and posesses multiple combat and engineering skills, among which include weaponry construction, engine maitenance, aethercraft, and sword fighting. He seems to be double jointed as he is able to slip and squeeze through the inner workings of engines.
