Vesuvius Moltenforge

After much research and indecision I've finally decided to swear allegiance to a clan. Lo and behold it just so happened to be the Duchy of Wessex. Darkfall has been on my radar for awhile I'm preparing to part ways with college, family, and friends in order now that it seems the inevitable day of Darkfall's release is looming. I plan on becoming a small time drug dealer to support a lifestyle centered around DF and maybe buy a parrot. Until that time comes though I'm a music obsessed freshman in college who spends the entirety of his paycheck on concerts and gas to get to said concerts. I'm an American who spends as much time in other countries as my paycheck allows and I speak a smidgen of French. I've been doing the whole pen and paper role playing thing for awhile too. Everything from D&D, White Wolf, In Nomine, SLA, and a few others. Um...one time I killed a motorcyle gang of chain saw wielding grizzly bears while making love to bus full of shamelessly saucy women. Enough about me though it is the new Wessex loyal, Vesuvius Moltenforge, who is here to be introduced to the masses.
So the niche I plan on having for Vesuvius down the road is somewhere along the lines of an influential burgess with his own shop perhaps with ties to the Church. I'm not sure exactly how I'll make this work, if at all possible, but I do want a decent balance of successful burgess and healer. If it is too difficult to merge these two roles Vesuvius will concentrate on his shop and offer his healing abilities on particuraly risky business ventures.
Being hard headed dwarf with a unsatiable appetite for wealth will most likely lead to rather aggressive business tactics. He will be ruthless and tactful when it comes to eliminating threats to his potential revenue, but rather generous and helpful to any Wessex brethren. The ultimate goal is to eventually gather enough resources and prestige to be one day working as or with the Exchequer or Steward of Trade. In the mean time he will spend his days selling his wares and partaking in outlandish but hopefully rewarding business endeavors.
Vesuvius will need plenty of allies and partners. There will be the usual business partnerships and resources, but Vesuvius may need something extra to support his brand of trade. He will need to assemble or hire a reliable group of go-getters to aid him in the constant pursuit of gold. Whether this is by investigating a rumor of some fabled item, escorting some valuable goods, or aiding in aggresive negotiations the group will likely be busy and rewarded handsomely.
So in a nutshell I plan on playing a business savvy dwarf and crafting virtuoso who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to ensure the best products for his customers. All the while providing the citizens of Wessex with superior equipment so the Duchy may prosper and remain a respectable and influential power in Darkfall. So yea...how goes it?
