Mechanist
6★ Sentry Protector Defender
Blocks 3 enemies and attacks from long range
Talent 1
Can deploy a Structural Principle that lasts for 30 seconds and has an independent redeployment time
Talent 2
Mechanist and the Structural Principle gains a certain amount of Barrier upon deployment; The Barrier can block excess damage
Skill 1 - Concentration Algorithm
Offensive Recovery, Auto Activation
When skill is active, Attack Interval increases, attacks become 5-hit AoE combos, each hit dealing a certain % of ATK as AoE Physical damage
Skill activation grants ammo and the skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill)
Skill 2 - Assistive Defense Techniques
Auto Recovery, Manual Activation
When skill is active, ATK increases, Mechanist and the Structural Principle immediately gains a certain amount of Barrier. When the Barrier breaks, deal a certain % of ATK as Arts damage to all nearby enemies and inflict a few seconds of Frighten, then consume 1 ammo to replenish the Barrier
Skill activation grants ammo and the skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill)
Skill 3 - Engineering Meteor Shower
Auto Recovery, Manual Activation
When skill is active, ATK increases, Attack Interval greatly increases, attacks deal a certain % of ATK as Arts damage in a cross-shaped area and can target enemies blocked by the Structural Principle
Upon skill activation the Structural Principle immediately charges forward and deals a certain % of ATK as Physical damage to all nearby enemies upon colliding with an enemy or a high ground tile and then staying there, surrounding enemies suffer a gradually diminishing Enfeeble effect
Mechanist SO-α module Lv3
ATK and DEF increases
New Trait: In The Black Flow of the Drowning Seekers, ATK increases to 150% when attacking enemies blocked by self or the Structural Principle
Talent Improved: In The Black Flow of the Drowning Seekers, the Structural Principle has infinite duration and gains a certain amount of Barrier every second after not taking damage for a certain amount of time (up to a limit)
"Authorization password obtained... Verification successful... Okay, that's all. I'll handle the rest of the handover procedures at once. Rhodes Island elite operator Mechanist, now in your command order."
____________
When you approached him with your manufacturing requirements, you were actually a little apprehensive. You knew how difficult it was to turn those ideas, which you yourself were skeptical of, into reality. But it was the best solution a researcher could come up with in a very limited time.
You hadn't been unaware of the stories about Mechanist when he worked as a university teaching assistant. Several physics students had come to him twelve times in three days, scratching their heads over their crystal electronics engineering assignments because they simply couldn't find a Originium component in the materials lab with a resistance value that was exactly seven or eight decimal places accurate.
And it just so happens, Mechanist could make it.
He actually did, and then he crushed it in front of those students. He berated them, saying that machines won't conform to their arbitrary calculations, and only humans would be stupid enough to do such a thing, but they were studying *Columbian expletives* physics, not people.
Mechanist took your requirements document. He looked at the requirements, looked at you, looked back at the robotic arm behind him, and then looked at the requirements again.
"I can do it."
But...?" you asked hesitantly.
"But I must say first, machines won't conform to such arbitrary calculations; only humans would be foolish enough to do that..." You could hear the unspoken meaning in his words. He was saying that you of course, understood his principle, so he was willing to be the fool.

usually don't post full versions bc don't like how they turn out, but this one more or less okay
btw love this fucked-up old guy glad they let me draw him
I can finally post the comic I did for @chilshi-zine which you can still download for free and see everyone else’s art & writing! I had a lot of fun working on this and I’m excited to finally share it
