Thanks to Vita, and sorry for the trouble [hider=Nori Mori] [u][b]Bios:[/b][/u] [list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Noriyama Mori [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 16 [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Male [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] Relatively middle of the pack. Not someone who really fades into the background, but not anything distinctive. Black hair, thin eyes, about 5'7" and nothing really special about his build. It's not his appearance that people remember him for, after all. [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Mori has the appearance of a stoic, and to a certain extent he is. He doesn't really get fazed by all that much. He used to get called 'Nori Mori' once upon a time and he didn't really mind. His appearance and attitude hardly ever change, but it's his attitude which is somewhat unique. Sometimes he'll say the most ridiculous things with a straight face. He has an extremely unique brand of humor which he'll use at some of the most inappropriate times. He'll never joke at somebody else's expense, but his jokes have gotten him a many dry look from his classmates. [*][u][b]Backstory:[/b][/u] Mori's history is... pretty normal; no dead parents, no betrayals, no real drama, and no anxiety. He visits his grand-parents every 6 months and he lives a pretty peaceful life. His parents are engineers, so he took interest at an early age and he's sort of developed normally in terms of technical for someone with that kind of a background, with his parents' help.. However, if there's one thing that makes him unique as an engineer it's his attitude. "If you [i]can[/i] make it, then why not?" He's something of a pacifist, or as pacifistic as you could get in the academy. Battling is part of his education, sure, and he does listen to his elders so he can use weapons and he trains with them regularly. He can see the point of getting better with combat skills but he doesn't really like fighting. Still, he mostly does things for the sake of doing them. If there's something that could be done but his other classmates don't want to do it, chances are he'll volunteer. For those that don't know him, this makes him seem like an honor student but those closer to him know differently. A certain invention of his made the newspapers once and gave him some small measure of fame. The idea came to him one day out of the blue, and he decided to build it. He had help from several people, including his parents and several mechanics in town, friends of his parents, and some of their fellow engineers who took a bit of an interest in it. The bulk of the construction was still done by Mori, however. When he was finished, he had made maybe the first ever weaponized AED Snack Cart. Traditional mechanics would've made it impossible to make for a 16 year old, but AE technology made it possible. It isn't too impressive conceptually but still, why would you ever make one? If you ever asked he'd probably say something like "Our daily lives may have become a battlefield, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate good value when you see it." [*][u][b]Inherent Engine Skill:[/b][/u] [color=purple]Shadow Space[/color] Mori can store things in his shadow. The space inside is pretty big, but he's never gone inside to see it. It can hold his Snack Cart and all his provisions without any issues. The things stored inside don't become weightless when he's pulling them out though, so there are a couple of restrictions for certain items. For items bigger than his shadow, he'll need to change its shape. He usually carries a torch around with him. He also needs to keep orientation in mind, since, if he extracts an item from his shadow while it's on the ground, gravity will take effect. He projects his shadow onto the wall to solve this issue. [*][u][b]Active Engine Device:[/b][/u] [b]AED Snack Cart[/b] The AED Snack Cart is an original invention of Mori's. It combines various features from all manner of snack machines, adds a few integrated systems for ease of movement amongst other things, and uses the Mana Core to power it. It really doesn't take much to power the appliances, which only really require heat or gears to move. It's a very economic design, but the real energy consumer is the tank treads. It's about as large as a small stall. It has an engine to move them with, and the tank treads don't normally show underneath the snack cart. He has to take care of how he moves around to make sure he doesn't kill too much grass or damage the concrete of the school. The Snack Cart features a popcorn machine, a sandwich press, a small stove, a hotdog warmer, some small lights, a cooler, an ice-cube dispenser and more. Mori made it to be extensible, and he also made it easy to take it apart and put back together. Since it's inevitable that he'll have to battle at some point, he's made a few additions just to see what he can get away with. [List] [*][b][u]The Broadsider[/u][/b] The AED snack cart has a Battle Mode where the tank treads suddenly extend up and out, and pop up onto their suspension system. It's been finely tuned to stay upright during high speed manoeuvres, and it can swivel independently as long as it's stationary. It's possible to do it while moving but that can be pretty dangerous. It also closes up shop with metal shutters and a sheet of tempered glass in the new 'front' of the vehicle which is where the non-door side used to be. Pneumatic cannons extend out from the sides. These cannons are static and can't be aimed. They can be loaded with anything from Mori's inventory. Cans will do the most damage, but weaponized paninis can have their own uses too. The Broadsider can be surprisingly fast, and has a surprising effective range. Launched cans also really hurt and can blind people with the soda spray. Mori doesn't want to fight with The Broadsider if he doesn't have to, since he can't repair all of its systems on his own. However, it has come in useful when dealing with some belligerent customers. The Broadsider has also earned him all of the rank he has thus far. [/list] [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] He's good at fixing things in general compared to the average person. He can do a few things with AEDs, but nothing spectacular. He can also cook surprisingly well when he takes the time to think about it. [*][u][b]Rank:[/b][/u] 12 [*][u][b]Club:[/b][/u] He's not a part of any clubs but he does drop into the Repair Club from time to time to ask for help with various things. [/list] [/hider]
