--Gdaze 14:31, 11 June 2009 (MST) I'm liking the concept and the history. One thing, about not being able to repair bigger more advanced systems. I really don't want to RP out changing light bulbs all the time, do you see this character evetually being able to repair more advanced systems? Because I'm pretty sure your going to be a main mechanic in this. And yes, there will be plenty of dirty jobs.
I really like the character's thrist for knowledge, a good drive that fits the game.

Does that sorta' make sense? I get what your worries are. I'm just trying to take a fresh approach to my standard character-type.
