Technique Applications

Updated Techniques

Light Defense || Running the Base
Using speed that comes naturally to Fauxbians, Tinker simply runs and clambers on any surroundings he can reach to evade an attack.
Power: 60%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Evasive, Evasive+
(This hasn't actually changed, but it has Evasive+ thanks to the earlier change to Fastest in the Universe. I listed this in the plotter, but not here, so I'm doing so here to make sure)

14k Technique
Medium Offense || Trick Shot
After carefully aiming Tinker launches a ball, intending to catch a dodge with the abnormally fast ricochet. Though he won't complain if someone just lets him hit with the regular swing, the awkward angle makes it tricky to dodge.
Power: 50%
KP Cost: 3 KP
Variants: Homing
(Exchanged Sniper for Homing, also reduced the cost and damage)


42k Technique
Light Offense || Tagged Out
Tinker simply chases after an enemy, grabbing them and attempting to slam them to the ground! It's not meant to hurt that much, more supposed to stop people running than anything.
Power: 30%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Homing
(Exchanged Lock-On for Homing, and hits slightly harder due to reduced cost of the variant)


New Technique

49k Technique
Moderate Offense || Foul Ball
A ball launched to catch someone from an odd angle. This is intended less to injure and more to disorient, though that doesn't mean it won't hurt.
Power: 40%
KP Cost: 3 KP
Variants: Exhausting

Finally, some new Utilities Techniques.

Utility Technique || Mechanical Knowledge
Tinker is something of a savant around technology, even if he doesn't always know the right terms. He has a good eye for the function of most machines and is good at using that knowledge to modify them in various ways. He can generally determine how most mechanical items work if he’s given enough time looking at it. Its much easier if he can look at its internals, but simply watching what it does long enough could give him an idea.

Generally, modifications to items need time, and can’t be done in a combat scenario unless it's a very basic modification. He might have an idea of how to better break or handle a machine than most, however.

Though he is less proficient handling functioning Androids, given time and resources he can perform modifications and repairs on them. He is only able to modify a PC Android with OOC permission from the player, cannot modify them on a gameplay level, and cannot actually mess with their programming or personality. Similarly, when messing with another player’s stuff, he needs OOC permission to do so. Additionally, this justifies his ability to heal an android’s wounds using the healing machine.

Utility Technique || Impromptu Medic
In the process of learning to create a medical machine, Tinker figured he should probably work out how to actually treat people. That includes how bodies work, how they heal, and how to tell when they’ve actually healed. It helped that he kind of had a crash course already on his own body when getting the tail to work.

While the medical machine is carrying him in many ways, he has a good generalist understanding of medical topics, mostly in handling injuries, but his knowledge isn’t limited to that. The most notable thing is that he has a pretty a good idea when something is wrong, whether that’s an injury, an illness or some other weird affliction. If it's anything beyond a regular wound or illness, he can’t do much even with the machine right now, but he can generally tell when something’s off if allowed the opportunity to properly analyse someone.

That said, he can still manage decent medical care even without machines, knowing how to handle injured people reasonably well now.

Utility Technique || Prosthetic Attachment
Obviously, Tinker’s tail is a metal prosthetic. While making it, he unwittingly learned a decent amount about about having a prosthetic safely attached to someone, and with his knowledge of medical subjects, now knows a decent amount of how to do so for others. Besides letting him repair and rebuild his own tail if it’s damaged or broken with more ease than most mechanical stuff, this allows him to create prosthetics for others. With OOC permission (And almost certainly IC permission), he can create prosthetic limbs and appendages for others.
