Chlorophonia Vehicle in Age of Gray | World Anvil

Chlorophonia

For a very long time, Tall Wayfarers were the best method of transportation across the land. Even though slow, they could traverse almost any obstacle, while carrying a lot of cargo and passengers. But people wanted something more personal and faster.   As more and more technologies based on pigments (a material form of Colors) started to show up, someone managed to create an engine that could be powered by them. One of the results of this discovery was chlorophonia. A motorbike-like machine, which can suspend in the air and move with the speeds that were earlier only an engineer's dream.

Power Generation

Pigment-based engine, which uses the stabilizing aspect of Yellow to suspend the machine in the air and its denying aspect to move forward.
As long as there is a Yellow Pigment inside the tank, which can be extracted even from the soil, the machine can move.

Propulsion

Driving chlorophonia requires a lot of skill if one doesn't want to smash into incoming obstacles, plummet into the ground, or get stuck high in the air.
In the hover mode, the machine can only move forward, backward and to the sides, but it cannot change its altitude.
To change it, one needs to switch to the propulsion mode. In this mode, the Yellow switches its aspect to denying the ground and starts to gain altitude.
Rarity
Still rare, but getting more common with each passing year.
Length
1.8 m
Height
50 cm while not floating
Speed
60 km/h
Cargo & Passenger Capacity
1 driver and 1 passenger. There are compartments, which can store a few days worth of food and water.

Silencing

Some people decide to add some of the Green pigment to the tank of the engine to turn chlorophonia completely silent.
The one drawback of doing so is lower maximum speed and lesser amount of fuel that can fit into the tank.
