Liftoff’s starting gear is… not great. As with all starting Tinkers who ever think about being indie, it’s made out of sheet metal and copper tubing. The basic thruster pack works and he has some additional boosters in the boxes mounted to his back. They can’t move, so steering is difficult to say the least. It’s not barebones, but it’s not much better. He has a bike helmet and an old scarf that he keeps wrapped around his mouth, trying to protect his identity. He has black eyes and black hair, stands at 5’8, and has a medium build. (Note, this description is for his pre-PRT gear, it will be updated.)
Liftoff has a pretty standard looking set of red and grey metal armor on top of a cloth bodysuit with some flexible pipes of coolant running along the exterior. He also has some small holders for zip ties and his bo staff. His main draw appearance-wise is the rocket pack and wings. Made of the same red and grey metal as the rest of his suit, they can fold and flick out, matching his general body language. He has black eyes and black hair, stands at 5’8, and has a medium build.

The suit also has protective shielding and cooling along his body so he isn’t burned by the exhaust. The boosters let him go really fast when he needs to, he has tested himself to clock at least 110 mph by engaging all of his rockets (at the cost of not being able to steer), though they were in “fuel-efficient mode” so he could return back to his base.

Additionally, the wings he has now allow him much finer control in the air, meaning that he can consistently fly at around 60 mph without issues steering (though not without issues from g-forces). The panels on his back now have ducts of cooling liquid that run across his body, meaning that he can be warm in the winter, and he can fly longer in a given time by letting the heat be dissipated faster. Furthermore, the wings are able to fold up into square-ish boosters, granting him the necessary increase in speed to hit the 300 mph mark. He can also grab handles on the underside to use them as bludgeons if he is disarmed. Small shields (courtesy of Zipdash) can keep particulate out of the system for short periods, but they disappear after a couple of minutes.

Character Sheet

Appearance

Lift-off in his civilian identity

Liftoff has a pretty standard looking set of red and grey metal armor on top of a cloth bodysuit with some flexible pipes of coolant running along the exterior. He also has some small holders for zip ties and his bo staff. His main draw appearance-wise is the rocket pack and wings. Made of the same red and grey metal as the rest of his suit, they can fold and flick out, matching his general body language. He has black eyes and black hair, stands at 5’8, and has a medium build.

Equipment and Resources

Resources

Wealth Level: 4

A permanent room in the PRT building.

Equipment

A collapsable bo staff

His Ascendence suit (Mk. 2).

Wrist rockets, as an offensive capability. Carries 8 on a given outing.

Skills and Specializations

Specialization: Rocketry

Okay hand to hand training, he did learn martial arts, but it was one of the more showy ones, not one of the practical ones. Since joining the Wards, he has started receiving lessons in more usable schools.

Mentality

He’s a decently bright kid, and generally sees through on things he’s committed himself to. He IS a teenager though, so he’s not always keen on showing deference to people he doesn’t think should have it.

Tinkertech

Power

Trigger type: Single Natural Trigger Liftoff is a Tinker with a specialty in rocketry. If it can be reasonably called a rocket, he thinks he can make it. That does include RPGs, but he found out the hard way that that will end in someone dying (no one got hurt, but we do not speak of the Hiking Incident). It also includes fireworks, so the 4th of July will be fun.

Backstory

Gabe has always been something of a thrillseeker. When he was young, he’d walk to the top of the highest hill and go down it on his bike, almost always falling off and scraping himself up. He never lost that drive, but it went from something he did sheerly because it was fun, to something he could do to escape his issues, at least for a little bit. His parents weren’t concerned if he got himself hurt. His mom was just trying to get by each day, and his dad, well… failed experiments don’t cause small circular burns. One day, his “dad” was way worse than usual. Something about getting the lottery numbers 1 off or something like that. At any rate, he grabbed an old iron poker that had been sitting in the fire for a while and turned to Gabe and his mom. He blacked out for a second as he realized that he had to leave that house, then and there. So he ran away, seeing ideas start to form in his head.
