I’ve tried to avoid posting this here because I hate even asking…but after losing my baby girl last month it’s put me in a tough spot both emotionally and financially. I’m super grateful for the support I’ve received thus far, but anything helps.

Finally bit the bullet a little while ago--(before everything went ham with Pyewacket) and commissioned the amazing @saoirse-argentum for a picture of Mathye and his prosthetic!! So here the Grump is in his full glory, artificial leg included xD

As of now, Mathye's prosthetic is a combination of reverse-engineered Allagan biotechnology/Ironworks/Skysteel mechanics. It's comprised of two parts--a socket that was grafted onto the stump of his right thigh, and the actual leg itself. The Allagan biotechnology allows him to have full motor function--down to even wriggling his toes--via synthetic nerves inside the basic muscle groups of the limb that are connected to the nerves in his thigh. Armor plating protects the limb, but he doesn't have full feeling--for him, it's a very distant sensation, when compared to his natural leg. While it's less heavy that his previous ones, he still has a fairly uneven gait--and a piece of enchanted wood is inserted into a socket in the limb itself--as to not spook the elements whenever he's doing work in the Shroud.

He does have episodes of pain flaring up due to lingering nerve damage--but they're not as bad or as frequent as when he had the original limb. Nero is his current engineer for work on the leg.

And before anyone asks, no he has not disconnected the limb and beaten anyone with it yet. (we may get there at some point though). The stress of reattachment is enough to ensure that Mathye almost never disengages the leg.
