Appearance
Goddfrey is a small, scrawny blonde man with a large brass device strapped seemlessly to his face. The device pushes down his hair at certain spots, so the rest sticks up in a funny way that almost resembles horns. He truly gives off "mad scientist" vibes. His voice and movements are a bit manic, very energetic, but quite seriously so. His skin is a little dull and grey, and he wears a dull purple outfit including a fluffy undershirt, a sweater, and a strange half-boot kind of shoes. One of his hands was removed at the wrist in his death, so he created another brass machine to replace that as well. This brass hand has claws instead of fingers, and was intended to have a shield covering the exposed parts, but Goddfrey thinks it looks cooler uncovered and takes that risk.
Personality
He's a bit of a manic fellow, bursting out into hysterical laughter when he's excited. He seems out of a breath quite often for how much energy he puts out on a daily basis, he's simply BEAMING most of the time. Though he is technically a part of The Solar Group, he is universally disliked for his manic behavior and annoying voice, leaving him to be the first of the front lines in hopes someone might take him out already. He's incredibly excitable, and since he has few people who can tolerate him, talking to him about his machines is the quickest way to make him happy.
Story
The Solar Group prepares for the new solider Ossa to arrive, and Goddfrey can't help but want to be the first to fight her. Raring to go, Rott sends him out to confront the inexperienced soldier on their doorstep. Goddfrey, hopping around and giggling, introduces himself before taking an offensive stance. Ossa, confident upon seeing such a weak looking man, makes the first move to attack. Goddfrey blocks her attack before eagerly getting her familiar with the magic of the world. Sending a swirl of shadows from his brass hand, Ossa is thrown to the ground and stunned. The area goes dark, Ossa's best bet to see Goddfrey being the glint off of the brass on his body. Goddfrey, in his element, excitedly begins to unleash a folly of attacks upon Ossa, who is just barely able to keep it together enough to defend.
It truly seems like only a matter of time before Ossa loses her footing and takes a fall, but Reggie leaps into action to defend, knowing far more about this opponent than the newbie. Reggie grabs Goddfrey by the machine on his face, slamming him face-first into the ground. Reggie quickly pulls Ossa away to recoup as Goddfrey regains his footing, the glass on his machine cracked, a strange red liquid slowly seeping from the breaks. Reggie quickly gives Ossa a pep-talk, urging her to get it together long enough to get the upper-hand.
Ossa insists she can handle it, but is completely unsure of herself against a magical opponent. She leaps back into the fight, having a bit more control as Goddfrey's machine is in a damaged state. Goddfrey lands a staggering blow with his brass hand, knocking sense into Ossa as she sees a way to... get the upper hand? Ossa stumbles before she bounces back, tackling Goddrey and jamming her fingers into the innerworkings of his brass hand, ripping out whatever machinery she can get her hands on. Goddfrey screams as another of his creations are damaged and his brass hand is rendered useless. Furious, Goddfrey attacks again, shadows quickly cornering Ossa and honing in. The moment Goddfrey gets closer, Ossa winds up and lands a solid blow to his face, destroying the face of his machine and securing a victory the moment the shadows grab ahold of her.
The defeat seems a tragedy to Goddfrey, who sits in a puddle of dark redish-purple liquid that's pouring from his machine as the shadows he cast over the area slowly vanish. After a moment, Ossa collects herself and kneels down to help Goddfrey, feeling a bit horrified by the scene before her. Goddfrey whines in pain as Ossa helps him to his feet, he seems dilerious, almost like he's actively passing out. Ossa manages to bring him back inside The Solar Group's compound to get him help from his people before she's quickly shoved back outside. Goddfrey is given enough attention to get him stable, and he recovers just fine. Ossa's compassion and attempts to assist him in his defeat stick with him, and he begins expressing displeasure at the thought of anybody from The Solar Group taking her down. Goddfrey recognizes the kindness in her heart, and wishes to find out more about her. He seeks out this knowledge and, as Ossa's strength grows ever more intimidating over the course of her time in the Yard, is assigned the official source of data about Ossa.
