Gaige is a pretty typical genius 18-year-old in that she knows everything. Well, okay, maybe not everything, but everything that’s worth knowing about robots. And like most people who think they know everything, she’s prideful, abrasive, and a little bit crazy. A self-described anarchist with punk leanings, Gaige does her best to fight the system, but optimistically. She’s the type who will fixate on one thing, like her planet’s youth science fair, and work her ass off until her project is just right. Her projects are her pride and joy, and setbacks are what lead to success, and she’d agree full-heartedly with Edison about each failure being a learning experience. Her creativity and gung-ho attitude also comes across with how well her projects work—when shown off, the features were all functional, if not too powerful. It makes sense then that nothing is more important to her than her own work, even to the point of blurring moral boundaries. But don't be fooled. Gaige isn't a sociopath. Sure her moral compass may be a little off but she actually genuinely likes people. Generally she feels comfortable with people older than herself even with her more childish personality. She teases mercilessly and relies on teenage humor, but being with people is one of her favourite things and she'd rather be a part of a team than alone. While she is confident and self-reliant, her emotional side can take over. Even when she’s at the brink of tears, her instinct is to prove everyone wrong and keep going. And angry outbursts usually end with her getting into deep trouble. Like many Pandorans, she believes that the end justifies the means. She doesn’t care if her and her robot break a few (hundred) laws as long as the end result is a positive one for her. In a lot of ways, this girl is still just a child with a lot more brains than she has world skills. POWERS MECHROMANCY Gaige is a savant with technology, able to build a floating attack robot in her shed as well as make a cybernetic arm that functions as a summoning beacon and is strong enough the crush concrete. Bits and spare parts are her best friends—other than DT. With a few hours and the right tools, she can put together complicated machinery, repair weapons, or deeply modify tech. She also has a penchant for AI and will happily build/program one for you as long as it’s going to cause havoc! Along with this is the myelin ability—Gaige and Deathtrap are highly resistant to electrical attack. DEATHTRAP The aforementioned attack robot or Deathtrap. Project DT was originally designed as an anti-bullying measure and is referred to as ‘he’ by Gaige. He uses 5 inch energy “digi-claws” and an eye laser to attack threats to Gaige. On the defence side, Deathtrap will create an energy shield for Gaige or an ally through digistruction. While DT is rarely “put away” by Gaige, he can be dismissed and re-constructed at Gaige’s will. ANARCHY Only works when in a fight. The more enemies Gaige or Deathtrap directly kill as well as the more times she reloads her weapon, the higher damage each bullet does. The problem is that her aim becomes more and more inaccurate to an almost ludicrous point. This ability can only be maintained while in an encounter. At the end of a battle, it fades back to zero unless a subsequent kill is made. PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER Description PLACEHOLDER Description PLACEHOLDER Description
