Hey! Kinda all or nothing on the forums lately, please excuse me for being late to most parties.
Upon reflection, I would really like to know a few things before I finalize my application, because I'm not a big fan of artificers:
* I think several people have asked, but I've missed the answer. Will you use Tasha's custom origin, specifically moving racial ability bonuses?
* Will firearms be simple or martial weapons? Will elves and dwarves have the opportunity to racially be proficient?
* Will the crossbow loading and bonus actions in Crossbow Expert apply to firearms? Meaning, will the feat ignore loading for firearms and allow a bonus action attack of a light firearm?

You may use it if you want, but its not compulsory. It's there if you wanted to use it.
It will vary depending on the size of the firearm. And no, they will not, but firearm proficiency can be given if your backstory fits in with it.
No, it will not on fire arms, but will still work with crossbows as usual. Like I said before, this is steampunk, so the firearms will be different for usual, mechanically and otherwise.
Thanks for asking! Hope that helped ;)

Hey! Kinda all or nothing on the forums lately, please excuse me for being late to most parties.
My character concept is a university-trained Cartographer/ Navigator (using customization to swap out Thieves Cant and Thieves Tools). I was thinking prior service (Air Force Academy or equivalent, followed by a required period of active duty). After completing her requisite service period, she resigned her commission to pursue her passions of flight and exploration in the private sector.
Her summons would thus appear as a recall to active duty (of course, she would still be required to go through basic training, with the rest of the recruits). Alternatively, if this does not work for you, I can alter the backstory to describe her education and service as private/ civilian? Thanks!

That might just work! I'll have to have a proper look at the backstory if you send it, but yeah, sounds good to me.

Class: Fighter Level 2, plans to be reflavored Arcane Archer
Background: Izzet Engineer
Backstory:
Takuma was born into a large family of wealthy and powerful elves who valued tradition above everything else. With the recent advancements in technology, the Travino family grew disgusted, and withdrew to their estates in the wilderness, near the outskirts of the city. But Takuma couldn't see why this new era of advancement was such a problem, and constantly complained about not being able to live in the city as a child.
As he grew older, he couldn’t stay away from a bit of tinkering here and there, and some fiddling with curious contraptions he smuggled from the city. The more he did this in front of his parents, the more they resented him, until his 20th birthday. They announced that his gift was that he could leave for the city and never come back, until he had achieved something notable and could prove why the age of steampunk was anything good.
Without a second thought, Takuma departed for the wondrous city, determined to live the life he wanted and to prove his family wrong. Much to his surprise, however, he was not met with the best hospitality. People knew his family, and their hatred for the city, and so they treated Tak like the outsider he was. So for the past 7 years, Takuma has been employed in a small firearms business, since he had always shown great skill in the fabrication of guns. It’s been a fairly unhappy life for him so far, so when he received the letter from the Edinbrail company, he practically jumped for joy, knowing that he couldn’t let the opportunity pass him by.
Condenced: A young and spry male elf who is an aspiring and innovative gunsmith, and shows promising skill in the career. He always dreamed of starting his own business, as long as he could work with guns in some way. But, he lacks the money and proper training/experience with firearms, and sees this letter as an opportunity to learn more about guns and combat and also to see the world, as he's been kind of trapped in the slums of the city, not having the money to go anywhere else.
August lived in the mountains of Gladenheim, a magnificent home built within the tunnels of the mountain. He worked as a forge hand who smelted iron, copper, steel, titanium, platinum, gold, and silver. They created the most beautiful jewelry, weapons, and armor known to their world. He enjoyed his work until he grew bored with the same thing over and over. His fellows tried to keep him with them through stories of tradition but August turned against it for a chance to explore the outside world.
August found work in a small village as a blacksmith, making weapons and armor for the local militia. He then grew bored of that, he was bored of smith work in general but no matter where he went, he was only that and nothing more. While being troubled by his woes, he was watching a local bard, August was mesmerized. The way the bard made stories a reality with a little magic astounded him.
He began to work, using his tools to form a metal viol with strings of silver. It was dubbed "Glang tulturkrar" otherwise known as the Ironsong. He began to study his cultural history so he could still be close to his people despite being miles upon miles away.
Now, he wanders the world, spreading his tale via music.
Class: Fighter Level 2 (Hush, It's not that Cliché)
Background: Noble
Backstory
"Yeah Sure, When ya first look at me you see a tidied up dwarf in a suit with his Black sleeves gone showing the white sleeves beneath. However, If you get to know me you will realize that I am also a good listener and Brewer if I do say so myself. But, you will also realize that despite my clean outside, I love to see sparks fly in mech fights."
Devanis was born to the Noble family of Drunkaxe. Yet, God said to him; "Nah, your life can suck." as soon after being born he was thrown out onto the streets and left. Soon after being thrown out he was met with kind hands of a tiefling man who had shown him the way of the Barkeep. Yet, something inside Devanis always picked at him. Drawing him to the Mechanical fights of Aveanor.
Now 56 and owning a small bar outside of town himself we see Devanis shining his trusty war-hammer (Cliché right?) The war-hammers symbol, A Overflowing mug of Ale, glistening. As Devanis is finished we see our dwarf Perk up to a knock on his door. After checking it out a note comes to his attention After reading it He exclaims out loud: "I'll be Dammed! What should I Pack!?"
www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/Djrowee_111316413.pdf Fears: A Bad Brew or Drink, Clowns...Clowns. Hobbies: Reading a Book, Looking for new brew ingredients, Experimenting with his Brewery, And Watching Mech Fights. Voice Description: His Voice is rather deep but with a slight Dramatic Tone. Other: He keeps a small journal in which he jots down His ideas for Brews and Food he could make.
Backstory: Venlys Therstine is an explorer at heart. From a young age, she loved exploring wanting to go to the woods, explore the town, and go to new places. As she got older, that urge only got stronger. And it was pointed towards a new frontier; the sky. So she joined the army, hoping to explore the sky. She did, and it was everything she ever dreamed of it being. At the end of her tour of duty, she settled down, but still loved flying, wanting a chance to fly again.
