[Hero Concept] Sharpe, The Golem Boy

[txc08]

This is Shorpy Higginbotham, victim of child labor in 1910 and the inspiration for the character.​

Lore:​

Victim of industrialization since the Astral Gates' opening, Sharpe labored in the depths, tasked with breaking, extracting, and mining coal, ores, and otherworldly artifacts. His fate sealed itself in a moment of careless ambition—while mining one of these mysterious relics, the earth gave way. Walls collapsed, burying him beneath tons of stone and dust.

But death was not his escape.

Instead, his soul seeped into one of the very artifacts he sought to plunder. Desperate and fractured, it clawed its way back to the surface, binding itself to the blood-soaked rubble scattered around his broken body. He rose as something no longer human—a living golem, animated by rage and otherworldly power.

He joins the Ritual with a single, desperate plea: to become a boy again.
