Backstory


Hailing from a world of super heroes and villains, Nephropidae is the son of the infamous Dr. Calamity.

 

Born with an unknown debilitating illness, Nephro has lost the functions of his legs and right arm. His father managed to replace these with machinery, 'upgrading'turning themhim into weapons.a living weapon for revenge. However Nephro could care less about his newfather's combat capabilities,vengeance, and instead pursuingwishes to pursue a permanent solution andto cure for his illness.

 

Nearing his breaking point, Nephro received an invite to Crossroads.Crossroads, Unlikebut unlike most winners, he opted not to use his wish for a cure. HeTo findshim, magic to beis a pathetic and cheap solution to ones problems.

 

Instead, he took this opportunity to find other researchers and scientists forto collaborate formulas and solutions to his illness. Wanting to take this formulaic cure home to aid those who may also be suffering from similar conditions.

 

In turn, he has offered to provide weapons/weapons, tools and technological services to those who request them.

 

This only sated him for them.so long unfortunately, as time waits for no one. Nearing his breaking point, Nephro did what he swore he never would. He turned to looking at magic for aid.

 

Still insistent on avoiding the easy route, he sought tutelage from Saki, who eased him into the ways of alchemy. He's been a practicing alchemist of four years now and is now able to provide enchantment and artifact repair services. 

 

Personality


Nephro is a fairly serious, no-nonsense teen.man. Obedient and polite, he is fairly difficult to anger as he hides his frustration well beneath his apathetic scowl. He indulges in conversation only if necessary and is not one for small talk. He is blunt and direct, wanting to get straight to the point. Patrons only come to him for supplies or equipment. There should be no further interest!

 

However, Nephro will never turn a blind eye to another inventor or scientist.scientist. It's one of the few times he is more than eager to keep talking. He'll inquire about their creations and when asked about his own, he is usually willing to present some of his projects and can sometimes get lost in all the technological talk that someone might have to snap him back to reality.

 

He hardly ever smiles... except when he's around Peollie, or gets flustered when she's brought up in conversation.

Abilities


Metallic Claw

A nearly indestructableindestructible claw, allowing him to cut metals, deflect projectiles, and absorb things such as electricity as to not affect the rest of his body.

His claw can also spin like a drill. Occasionally rotates subconsciously when he speaks with hand gestures.

Blades

Athletic and flexible, Nephro is skilled in close combat. His signature skill comes from his blade legs, sharper than steel, he could easily use these to kill, but chooses not to.

CR-Series

These are used as his personal security system. Equipped with camo capabilities, he can keep an eye on his shop when he's away.


They also have minor capabilities to assist him in his work.

Job & Skills


Nephro works as Crossroads' mechanic and blacksmith, occupying a workshop in the Business District called "The Iron Claw". Charged with assisting Competitors with weapons, armor, machinery repairs, etc.

He has taken to learning alchemy as well, albeit begrudgingly. He will repair broken or damaged artifacts, but it will take a lot of convincing to have him craft and enchant new magical items.

His CR units are normally in charge of assistance and security, but they can also be used to scout out/spy on competitors if tasked to do so or has any interest in the specimen. Spying on Competitors for another's behalf is not an impossible task, but the payment in turn had better be worth wasting his time.

Location


Nephro can usually be found in his workshop located in the Business District.

He tends to bury himself in his work, even when not taking on any commissions.
