Mechromancer

Part mechanic, part gladiator, all violence.

Mechromancers are artificers with a particular bent for using their talents in the unmaking, rather than the making, of things. While some take employment working in organized fighting forces, mechromancers by habit tend to focus on self-sufficiency by themselves and their constructs - as a result, they focus on practical skills broadly and often touch on other schools of Artifice (for example, an armorer may still make use of Alchemical talents when devising more effective power sources for their armor).  Many take their talents for destruction in the most profitable direction, working vicious pit fights where their arcane arms and armor are more than capable of standing against the most hulking brute.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Arcana, Medicine, Perception, and Survival.

Tool Proficiencies: Choose two from Smith's tools, Woodcarver's Tools, Alchemist's Supplies, and Herbalism Kit.

Equipment: An inexpensive but unusual weapon (one of your choice),  a pit-fight or battle trophy, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
