RP Hooks
- The Fel: He will have strong opinions on it, and its use, system, and dangers.
- Demons: His area of expertise!
- The WEB: Pippin is an instructor and member of the Warlock Ethics Bureau.
- Photography: His hobby! Pippinlopper's primary fun hobby (which he takes very seriously) is photography, where he can go on at length about the color pink and its place in black-and-white photography. His office is covered in photos of him and his demons in various locations throughout the world, as well as subjects of interest, all of which have exacting documentation of what it is, why he took the photo, and when he did.
Appearance
Pippinlopper is on the smaller side of gnomes, coming in at around 3'6" (106cm), with bright pink hair, bright pink eyes, and a bright pink beard. His hair is fairly wild, often sticking up into no fewer than two (2) cowlicks, although his beard is expertly trimmed and maintained in exacting order of the same length that it has been for over 30 years.
Pippinlopper's Month.
He wears all pink clothing, often well coordinated. His voice is high-pitched, but with great clarity and enunciation. He doesn't speak very fast, as though he's deliberately trying to ensure his listener understands what he's saying.
Personality
Inquisitive • Methodical • Canny • Stubborn
ALIGNMENT: LAWFUL NEUTRAL
Pippinlopper is a man of Science and Learning at his core. He's coming into his third and last century of his life and has decided to use this inevitability of death to make a comprehensive study of the use of demon manipulation with warlocks and their relationship with the fel. He believes strongly in open source, cooperative learning. Despite his obvious priorities to his work over his lifetime, he has formed many casual friendships and relationships. He was amicably married to a younger man for four decades, and then just as amicably divorced. A strong proponent of the value of the community and the collective, Pippinlopper is the kind of man who offers his lectures and studies of expertise around the fel for free, in the hopes of encouraging other warlocks to form a stronger social network of support against the eventual fel corruption.

History
BIRTHDAY: SEPTEMBER 25TH, YEAR -212
In his early youth, Pippinlopper was a gardener and dedicated himself early on to mycology. By the age of 80, he had created an extraordinary comprehensive work on three very specific types of mushrooms that led to leaps of understanding on how to maximize their uses in several chemical engineering substances, as well as facilitating the early development of optimization of wiring cables.
Having felt as though he had gone as far as he could with this career path, he eventually, in his more wild 90s, decided to experiment with documentation of the history of various triangular structures and their impact on water sourcing and religious development. It was very well received in its own niche reading circle, lauded for being incredibly thorough and well-researched.
With these two achievements under his belt, at age 237, Pippinlopper made the decision to intentionally become a warlock in order to study the use of manipulation of summoned demons, by extensively recording and cataloging what his demons say (and potentially why). He has already established a significant amount of his work, and has been praised for his methodical and scientific approach to the concept of warlock fel corruption. Currently, he works out of an area in Tinker Town known colloquially as "the university" where he offers lectures on his studies, and holds open office hours twice a week for individuals looking to get a better understanding of this particular field of interest.
He was one of the first warlocks to formally join the Warlocks Ethic Bureau started by Captain Zath Tyrrell, Lena Coit, Elohad Ference, and Niris Ference. He is officially teaching WEB warlocks, actively working with advisors of the arcane, Light, and Shadow. His office hours have expanded accordingly.
