@UnusualStranger Actually yeah, that's exactly what I felt. Just out of curiosity, how else can a late arrival be introduced?
Now, I do agree that a Mechanist will fit me the best. I just thought that Mechanists were mostly concerned with making living metal, not with delicate machinery of all sorts. Also, I kind of wanted him to make the elemental weapons, but I see this is not the case.
Actually, I do think I will offer a last compromise that will help; that my character is making complex and exotic weaponry, that includes parts influenced by other elements, but with the end result showing no signs of Elemental work (as an extreme example I am not going to include IC unless you insist : a magical rifle that uses a Fire component to propel a bullet instead of gunpowder)
Some of the experiments are going to come with him on board anyways. Since they are purely science experiments, however, I doubt they are going to even be noticed from the rest of the crew; they'll just sit in a corner and record data.
Aside from that, yeah, I do guess a Mechanist is the best solution, and a Weaver will work just fine; maybe I'll even state IC that the Academy refused to give him the Master rank because of his mad concepts.
Once again, thanks for your tolerance of my mistakes.
Now on to introduce my metal companion...
@hoppiholla391 That's actually a pretty good idea! I would guess Commander Hayes would get any help he could get anyways, but it's perfect!
Oh, and since our characters are coming from the same class and Academy, they will most likely know each other. Would you have any preference on which is the relation between them?
