Raelyn Cayne

Raelyn Cayne (a.k.a. Rae)

Raelyn Cayne is an artifist tinkerer selling simple prosthetics and augmentations to the highest bidder on the black market. Never asking too many questions or saying much about herself, she's good at what she does - and it's clear she isn't a native to the Outer Ring\.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

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.

Body Features

  • 3 ear piercings on the righ tear
  • An intricate tattoo of a wrench and hammer with flowers on her back. There is a quote from the Engineering Code of Ethics at the bottom. Sounds corny, but it's actually really tasteful.

Facial Features

  • A few freckles on her nose.
  • A faint scar on her right cheek.

Identifying Characteristics

  • Hammer and wrench tattoo on her back.
  • Faint scar on her right cheek.

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.

Mental characteristics

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.

Gender Identity

Female.

Sexuality

Female.

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.

Taboos

None.

Personality Characteristics

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.

Social

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.

Family Ties

:)

Religious Views

Engineering Code of Ethics/Athiest

Social Aptitude

Book smart, absolutely no street smarts.

Mannerisms

Always crosses her legs, good posture, always holds eye contact.

Hobbies & Pets

Reading and cooking

Speech

People can tell she's not from around here when they speak to her. She rarely curses or uses slang, and speaks pretty formally.

Wealth & Financial state

I make enough to rent out a 1 bedroom apartment big enough to also serve as a workshop. I can buy simple supplies, but request that customers provide materials for special requests.

Raelyn is a tinkerer toughing it out in the Making City Outer Ring.The people on the black market respect her consistent, quality work, but it's clear she's not from around here.
