| Name | Reiko | | Gender | Female, she/her, fur-centric straight | | Homeworld | Zhmrrel, though she can pass as a feline kin on Twoarth, she is from a distant planet that only just got involved in multidimensionality and space travel, inhabited by humanoid felines | | Class | Freshman 20kk+5 | | Nut | ALL CAPS NUTS | | Totem | Racehorse - the 'man, I gotta pee like a' - stubborn, used to winning and whining +2 Bod, +1 RWP, +1 Looks, -1 Cool, +2 Bonk | | Smarts | 4 | | Bod/Feet | 7 | | RWP | 6 | | Luck | 5 | | Drive | 6 | | Looks | 3 | | Cool | 7 | | Bonk | 7 | | Powers | *A Natural Born Talent - has a Cluster of skills (or 2 related Skills) at +3 and can buy more related Skills at half (1kk each); her skills are strongly in the 'fixing and breaking things' realm
Spandex - flexi, gets into and out of very small spaces or into knots, this is admittedly not really a power so much as a species-inherent ability because, well, she's a cat? She definitely becomes liquid in small spaces... And sleeps in really weird postures
Bounce - sproingy and hard to stop, takes no damage from falling, this too is not really so much a power as an innate ability that Zhmrrel have, she can use claws to climb and seems to take absolutely no damage from 4th story falls, rolls and tumbles with ease, and looks great doing it all
| | Clusters | *Fix It or Break It! +5 If there's something that Reiko loves doing it's fiddling with items. Be it taking them apart, adding or subtracting bits that don't seem to be right, or completely dismantling technology, she is the best. Reiko does not allow pieces of technology to just get demolished, however, her version of 'break' is 'take apart', not 'bash to pieces' | | Skills | *Item Identification +4 Can she take it apart? Is it one piece? What is it made of? All these questions are super-simple for her! If she doesn't recognize a piece, she also can locate - and read - the manual
Vehicular Expertise +3 She loves anything that moves, be it a jet plane, jet ski, snowmobile or offroad four-by-four, Reiko can drive and repair it with ease; she does prefer vehicles that have a seat rather than ones that are pedal controlled or rely on muscle power, but even a penny-farthing bike is something she could maintain (both from breaks or riding it!), as long as it has some kind of moving part, it is hers to manage
Climb Any Mountain +2 Able to spot the right places to cling to, stand on, leap from, or scramble over, her pathing instinct is marvelous
| | Knacks | Grooming Tools +3 with a fur coat like hers, and hair like that, Reiko absolutely needs to have access to the right gear for keeping it all clean and pretty; she is very much an allergen producer, so if you're allergic to cats ... just... hold your breath and close your eyes, she will definitely trigger sneezing and tears...
Not Get Caught On Stuff +2 Keep it open please thanks, she doesn't let any part of her furry self get snagged on doors, doorknobs, hooks, or rolling up windows, let alone lathes, grinders, or other power tools... somehow

She lives in an apartment with several other off-world students, though she's the only one that's furry enough to warrant a trip to the plumbing aisle for clog removers. Reiko does try to keep her fur out of the drain or off the furniture, but her good intentions can only go so far, and she does take responsibility for cleaning up the house at least once a week, paying particular attention to her fur and hair. Thankfully most of the furniture that she sits on is wood or mesh, but let's face it, she is a mass of small fluffy bits and long strands of hair... The monster that comes from the shower drain, if she doesn't keep it clean, will definitely become sentient sooner or later. Reiko's family moved from their home world to Twoarth and haven't regretted this decision yet. With a world that accepts their kind, and offers more education than their old home, both of her parents and her oldest brother easily found work and skill training that would never have been possible. It's very clear that Reiko would like to follow in her father's footsteps, though whether that means becoming a mechanic or an engineer, or those things getting delayed thanks to being brought to a dragonry, who knows? Her favorite activity other than fiddling with tools and devices, is table tennis, and she is absolutely amazing at it. She attends afterschool meetings of the Table Tenners, so named because there's usually ten tables available in the local hangout. When they descend on them, the bowling alley where they play often hosts informal betting and cheers - along with extra rentals for their other activities, since the tables are all in use...
