Appearance
Physical Description
Sporty. She needs to be strong to handle some of the equipment she works with every day. One of her favorite hobbies is cooking, so she isn't a tiny stick.

Physical quirks
She bites her nails when she's nervous or thinking.
Always crosses her legs, good posture, always holds eye contact.
Apparel & Accessories
Her clothes hint at a previous life that was wealthier, but they're pretty worn down today. She is always wearing a tool belt that has a variety of small tools on it - a small welding tool, a series of electrical hybrid hammer/wrench, a tablet, a portable keyboard that folds easily and is compatible with 99% of computers.
Specialized Equipment
Knowledge of engineering. Designing, programming and building prosthetics and augmentations.
Mentality
Personal history
Raelyn "Rae" is a artificer selling simple prosthetics and augmentations to the highest bidder on the black market. She never asks too many questions, and never says much about herself. People like working with her because of this. The people she works with on the black market suspect she hasn't always been a nobody wandering the Outer ring. She's clearly educated, quick on her feet and in tricky conversations, and carries herself like someone driven to overcome a great loss. It's clear she hasn't been in the Outer Ring for long with how little she understands the underworld politics, but she's good at what she does and always follows through on what she promises. People are starting to notice.
Education
Extensive university study. She has yet to under deliver on a job, and the items she makes are reliable, efficient, and built by someone who intimately understands their trade.
Employment
Independent merchant selling simple prosthetics and augmentations.
Accomplishments & Achievements
The black market recognizes her as her own independent enterprise because of how consistently she produces quality work.
Failures & Embarrassments
Got into one or two back alley fights because of haggling prices with the wrong people (lack of understanding of underworld politics). The faint scar on her right cheek is a result from one of these scuffles.
Mental Trauma
She carries herself like someone whose lost more than words can describe, although she never says anything about it. It's clear she's driven to overcome the loss at any cost.
Intellectual Characteristics
Lots of book smarts, deep understanding of engineering - not just as a science, but as a way of life (engineering code of ethics).
Morality & Philosophy
Strictly abides by the engineering code of ethics, and will never take on a job that violates the code.

Personality
Motivation
Overcoming a great loss - she never speaks about it, but it's clear she has a vendetta to restore something she once had/make things right.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Very technically/book smarts savvy, but has little to no street smarts.
Likes & Dislikes
Likes reading, cooking, and tinkering with small gadgets.
Dislikes ignorant people, squeaky hinges & joints (mechanical), and tomatoes.
Virtues & Personality perks
Her friendship is hard to earn because she doesn't trust easily, but once it's won - she'll stick with you through the end.
Vices & Personality flaws
Strictly adheres to the Engineering code of ethics, but willingly works within the black market. The ways justify the means.
She has a hard time sticking to deadlines and timelines on projects. While she has tons of book smarts, it's clear that she still is perfecting her skills in actually building things because of how long it takes her.
Personality Quirks
She's a grammar nazi.
Hygiene
As well groomed as she can be living in the slums. Her clothes hint at a previous life that was wealthier, but they're pretty worn down today. She bathes as often as she can, and tries to keep her self and her home as clean as possible given the circumstances.

Contacts & Relations
The prosthetics dealer at the pub down the street (I bring it through the back and he distributes it to customers, 50/50 cut of profits. He'll provide me materials for special requests).
Jonathan Eisenhorn - he approached me individually at my place of residence. Saw me carrying supplies up to my apartment, very clear the supplies were specifically for things like prosthetics and specific augmentation projects. Requested that I build him a prosthetic left arm, which I did, and sold at a discounted price out of pity. It was clear he was homeless and desperate, and wanted this for more than practical purposes, it seemed like he had a religious devotion to the idea of prosthetics.
Honorary & Occupational Titles
