Gemik Barpipe

Gemik Barpipe is a short, brown-haired gnome, shorter than most other gnomes his age. He is gifted in inventing gadgets and gizmos like other gnomes though, he puts all his faith in the Light. Spending most of his time in the depths of what was once a small cave in Westfall, but has now been mined and dug further into the ground that it could only be described as a miniature Gnomeregan as Gemik keeps digging.

Background
Unlike the other gnomes, Gemik was born in the Goblin-Pirate town of Booty Bay into the care of a slowly-dying mother. It was only a few days before his mother died and he was put into the care of two gnomish women in Gnomeregan. It was in Gnomeregan, where Gemik grew up until the troggs ransacked the tech-city and he and his caretakers were evacuated from the city.

It was around that time, when the Dwarves took in the gnomes, that Gemik found his faith in the Light and began to train as a priest as well as increase his engineering skills. Gemik spent years in Ironforge and later, Stormwind, learning his craft until he could be considered a priest by others. Once he was a priest, Gemik spent a few months in the Cathedral of Light, testing out a new invention of his, the Greet-A-Tron, on those that visited. Unfortunately, the Greet-A-Tron malfunctions many times and would be rude to anyone that came into the bot's line-of-sight. Eventually, Gemik had to put away his Greet-A-Tron and it was then, that he found his lab in Westfall.

Westfall, a farm-land inhabited by criminals, homeless, and travelers, Gemik found a small cave near the shore and began to call it home. At first, Gemik had issues with a few of the feral druids who wouldn't speak or interact with him, but would ruin the inventions in his home, it was because of this, that Gemik's first design on his home were large, metallic doors to keep the druids out. Gemik built these doors in hopes of keeping the druids out, but they still managed to sneak in, so Gemik built a security system to try to scare them off, THIS invention, did work on them, but occasionally, a few would still show up. It was then, Gemik decided to make the cave bigger, larger, and delve deeper underground, so he began to dig, eventually making his cave the size it is now.

Personality
Although dedicated to his inventions and his lab, Gemik is usually kind to those he encounters, he always sends food and supplies to the homeless in Moonbrook, helping them survive and he always heals those in need using the Light. However, there are times when Gemik can be unresponsive, usually meaning he's in deep thought about inventions he could make.
