Appearance
Standing at 6 feet tall, though often hunched over, Godrick is a thin young man with a very pale complexion (keeping yourself buried in machines can do that). He has dark bags under his eyes from a lack of sleep, dark eyes, and bluish-black, messy hair that tends to fall over one eye. His fingers have almost been stained black from grease and oil.
His choice of clothing can often make people mistake him for a hobo, with how dirty he often gets in his work. He wears a dark blue undershirt, underneath a tattered, white overcoat that has long since turned grey from dirt and use. He wears a pair of pale brown trousers, held up by a black belt, and a pair of sturdy black shoes. A simple gold pendant hangs around his neck, and is the only part of his attire he actively keeps clean.

Personality
Godrick is an absolutely prodigy when it comes to caring about machines, and utterly abysmal at everything else. With poor social skills, the man gets tired and irritated around people quite easily, preferring to remain by himself with his work. He's unfortunately picked up some bad habits, such as drinking and smoking, but has gotten to the point where he's a functional addict. He has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and is often dismissive of people.
In terms of machinery, the man is an absolute genius. He can figure out the internal workings of a machine in record time, how to improve on it, and especially how to maintain and repair it. He's especially good at improvising if the situation calls for it, able to make functional repairs until full repairs can be made. He gets heavily annoyed at folks who don't maintain equipment properly, and can even get violently angry if machines are abused and broken.
Overall, Godrick isn't a bad guy per se. Rough around the edges, certainly, but not a bad man deep down. He always appreciates a keen, mechanical mind, but normally doesn't tolerate much else. Despite his gruff attitude, there are hints that his loneliness does affect him somewhat. He's very protective of his pendent, the only thing of his birth family he has left.

Background
Godrick was a young man who more grew up around machines, rather than people. He was discovered as a baby by one of the local mechanics on the outskirts of Gear Town, the only hint of his birth parents being the pendant that was found with him. Being raised by his adoptive father, Godrick naturally developed a talent for working on machines, but had trouble dealing with other people, often feeling like an outsider.
At the age of seventeen, Godrick's foster father was killed in an unfortunate industrial accident. Since then, his anti-social tendencies have spiraled even further, taking of drinking and smoking as a result. His life hadn't been too difficult, as his mechanical skills allowed him to get by on his own, but his social skills plummeted as a result, often leaving him alone.
Godrick's skill with machines and repairs made him a bit of a local legend, so long as one can stand his less than stellar personality. Not that he minds, or at least claims to mind. As long as he gets to work on his machines uninterrupted, he's content.
Still, a rather lonely life he must lead.
