THE FOLLOWING WAS MY APP FOR ADOPTION, throwing it up here so i don't 1. lose it, or 2. have to look all over for it
for my quick mental image of the character: Sort of short, either slim or a bit 'chubby,' but their overall aesthetic is sleek regardless. They would be a mechanic, having started out taking household things apart and trying to put them back together either perfectly, or constructing new things!!!! out of them. Their mother and potential siblings thought it dumb, and not a ~*feminine*~ thing for a young Repair to do. Their father, though, was always very supporting and would try his best to hold his own against his wife and make his child feel the best about their interests and abilities. (I think the Father would probably end up divorcing, trying to take Repair, but the law is sort of biased imo, and tend to favor mothers just because they are the mother, regardless of how they care for the child compared to the father not that i have any....... personal experience with that sort of stuff at all
ANYWAY, Repair would have to stay with their mother and sibling(s), and that brings me into........
However, because of both the majority of their family's unhappiness and their own self doubt, they let mechanic-y things fall to the side, trying to figure out who they were, and the general stress of growing up and needing to know what you're going to do with your life as soon as you turn 18. After turning 18, though, and being able to freely do what they want, they move into/close to their father's area, and together he sort of helped them get back into mechanic-ing.
Of course, life isn't perfect, and I think after the father being alone, he has been so lonely and depressed, he's turned to drinking (at all, or more, idk yet) and so Repair trying to reconnect with him is a bit rocky from their perspective, while their father doesn't see anything wrong.
I think the bulk of Repair's story would be a day-to-day mechanic-y life, shop life, though before that I would show a bit of their younger life with their family, and getting back into contact with their father.
TC would be All The Mechanic Items + story related items
-possibly gender-questioning related items.
-I tend to use a pet's food ate & books read to tell/show more about them, buuut for Repair I would probably only use the food, as the pet has already read some things! (but, that means intel points won't need to be boostered)
-I'm slowly training up some of my smaller pets (namely Soot Sprite and Eclectic) to be battle worthy, and I would add Repair to make a trio.
-most likely no love interest, possible friend/bff of Desmond
