While I do promote uniqueness, there is a place for every character here. Do keep in mind that your first idea is rather close to mine, Annelle, while not a genius with mechanical things, I'd just like you to know that the rich, ego-center won't be the only mechanic/engineer type. Also, perhaps specialize him in a few fields. "All things mechanical" is a hell of a lot of knowledge.

Sure, I'll be more specific, that was just a rough idea. I'm thinking he specializes in shards, gadgets, and weapons with a huge knowledge of programming (hacking included). He has a thorough book knowledge of engineering.

[s]Besides, his personality would clash hilariously with her[/s]

What about multiple characters?
