Personality:
Joelee is generally a very kind man, and often helps others in need. He is not very difficult to get along with. He seems outgoing, although he doesn't seem overly aggressive when he talks to others, trying to keep a sense of calm about him. Joelee would never commit and act of evil while he controls his own will, he is kind hearted and many towns people (although wonder about his horrible fashion and hygiene problems) usually get along with him great.
History: Joelee grew up in Pilledge with a fairly wealthy family. He had everything he could ever want: good education, lots of friends, the best clothes. Anything that a wealthy child could want, he had. He used to be a pretty arrogant child, claiming that he was better at most things than other people. One day this got him into trouble when he was 15, when he tried to steal something that he had wanted off another person. The crime had escalated into assault when the other child had fought back against him. Joelee had been sentenced to work in the mines because of his crime, that almost killed the child.
Joelee quickly rebelled endlessly in the mines, often getting punished for his outbursts, he knew in himself that he was not meant to work in the mines. Over many years he began to accept his fate and started working harder in the mines. If he was sentenced here for the rest of his life, he'd make people proud with his work. He had begun to use fine tools to sculpt the rock that he was able to to his house with him (his house being no more than a small cabin located in one of the alley's of the city). After years he become amazing with his crafting and could make some of the best Jewelry and sculptures.
During one of his routine visits into the mine, he had ran headfirst into an accident. He tripped over a toolbox that had been left behind by one of the other miners, and his lantern flinging into the air. He'd been lucky enough that he had not lit any gasses ablaze when his lantern smashed into the wall and spraying the oil against it. Instead, he had been awarded by a brilliant light from the magnesium burning from the oil. That was when it had begun, Joelee became fascinated with chemical reactions. He began to sneak some of the metals out of the mine, and started experiments with them noting the reactions he got from each one.
At one point he drew the attention of a would be "Hero assassin" Named Alivon. The man had been attracted to the brilliant light and smoke escaping from the windows of Joelees house, and had asked for help with his work. alivon became a regular customer at Joelee's house, often buying the materials that caused reactions with things. Joelee started to become friends with the shadowy man.
Religion: Joelee doesn't have time for a specific religion, with all the mining work he has to do. He believes there is some all powerful and divine being or beings, but doesn't spend any time praying or thanking them except in extreme circumstances. He has forgotten all that he had been taught about religion since his harsh sentence in the mines.
