Smithy_

(Artwork belongs to Reagan700 from FA. Comissioned from him.) Known simply by his peers as Mr. Smithy, he is a renowned blacksmith known for his...unique method of crafting and forging.
He does not carry the traditional sword that Leomon are seen hanging around their waist, but rather steel claws that he forged himself. He is almost always seen wearing them and rarely takes them off in the presence of company.

Years of battles and training have left him hardened. While his skin may appear soft, the scars tell only one layer of truth to his durability. From the years of hardship and work as a blacksmith, his body has taken on an iron like hardness to them, rendering most weapons ineffective against the warrior lion.

If you want to know more about Smithy, simply enter his forge. He is more than willing to talk to anyone who wishes to pay for his services. He has two mothods of payment currently available and two methods of forging. 1. He can forge you a weapon of unrivaled durability that will leave you satisfied with the purchase, so long as you have the materials needed for such a weapon or set of armor. 2. He can use the souls of his victims and the recently departed, to create unparalelled weaponry that will never break, and will seem as light as a feather. However there is a heavy requirement for the latter. Firstly the soul must choose the wielder, otherwise you would be unable to so much as lift the blade much less wield it!
If you manage to lift these soul bound weapons then they will be offered to the patron free of charge. He does not work for profit, he works to make people whole, even those who no longer have a physical existance. But for his regular wares...it is dependant on the materials you offer. If you have none to provide then expect to pay a good bit out of pocket!

Smithy is an accomplished predator. His prey usually serves him twofold in that their bodies offer him nutrients to keep him working hard, and their souls are served as crafting material. Of course, he CAN be pursuaded not to end your physical existance...if you have no funds to pay for the weapons or armor you wish forged, you can feed yourself to him as payment. If you go with this form of payment he will offer a reforming stone that must be returned after you've reformed. Though these are also available for purchase for...extra services. Nough said.
