Netmirth

The undisputed best techie in Citadel Nine. Netmirth is a D-Rank Wildcard with a foul temper, but her skill is undeniable, making her the go-to crafter for the city's most elite players.

Ability: Property Potency

By touching an object, Netmirth can multiply one of its specific physical properties (like hardness, conductivity, or tensile strength) by five for ten minutes.

With a five-hour cooldown, she reserves this ability for the final, critical stages of crafting or tuning Silver-tier Gear, allowing her to achieve a level of quality that is physically impossible for other Techies.

Signature Gear

• Heavy Utility Gauntlets (Green Tier): Loaded with small tools, calibration bits, and micro-components. They also boost her strength enough to make a "don't touch my workbench" sucker punch genuinely dangerous.
• Big Wrench (Green Tier): An oversized, heavy, and scarred tool that serves as both her primary wrench and a blunt-force attitude adjuster.

Playstyle

She lives in her workshop, taking commissions and tuning gear to a perfect state. She is infamous for her long wait times, expensive rates, and blunt critiques, but clients endure it because a piece of gear from Netmirth is a guaranteed advantage..

The First Silver Tier

Netmirth's legend was forged in Year 1 when she crafted the first-ever confirmed Silver Tier weapon, a custom SMG kit for a then-C-Rank imcool / MQ. That single weapon noticeably improved MQ's performance and single-handedly shifted the city's focus, proving that bespoke gear could redefine a player's ceiling. The event transformed District 3 into a full economic hub and cemented Netmirth's reputation as a kingmaker.

Known Interactions

Netmirth's client list reads like a "who's who" of Citadel Nine's most powerful players, and her relationships are almost entirely transactional.

• MQ/imcool: Her most famous client. Their relationship is strictly professional, built on mutual respect for each other's top-tier skill.
• Polly: A persistent pest. Polly worships Netmirth's work but expresses it by invading her workshop, driving Netmirth to the brink of violence.
• Wynnter: A respected collaborator. Wynnter's diagnostic skills are one of the few outside inputs Netmirth trusts, allowing them to work together in a rare display of professional harmony.
• Vanessa: Acknowledged as a peer through action, not words. Netmirth occasionally takes on Vanessa's overflow work, the highest form of compliment she is capable of giving.
• primeribs: The target of her genuine hatred. After primeribs once swapped her favorite wrench with a banana mid-job, Netmirth has considered her a walking quality-control violation.
• Orpheus: The recipient of a rare, unexplained gift: a Silver Tier robotic tail that Netmirth crafted without a commission.
