You are intimately familiar with the inner workings of machines. You can expertly judge the quality of a particular vehicle, weapon, or piece of industrial machinery through a quick examination. You can gather information about any device with gears, cogs, or other machinery, including its value, general specifications, and condition. If you are presented with a broken device, you are able to perform a similar examination to determine the source of the problem, as well as a rough gauge on how easy or difficult it would be to repair. Additionally, with only a few minutes of intense scrutiny, you are able to deconstruct just about any device, and later replicate it for your own personal use, providing you have the necessary materials, completely from memory.
Suggested Characteristics
You are fascinated by the wonders that others greet with a mixture of awe and fear, and so it is unsurprising that you come across as a little eccentric. Greasers spend more of their days with machines than people, meaning they often come across as rude or uncouth to the upper classes.
