Frontier Storm-Tinkerer

You chased thunder across the plains and caught it in a bottle.

You grew up where rail lines cut through scrubland, storms rolled in without warning, and bad ideas regularly left people burned, bleeding, or worse. As a Frontier Storm-Tinkerer, you learned not only how to harness lightning, but how to treat shock, burns, and blast injuries using crude medicine, chemical salves, and improvised tools. Your workspace might have been a barn loft or a railcar, but it always doubled as a makeshift infirmary.

Some folks call you a genius. Others call you dangerous. Most just call you when someone is hurt and the doctor is miles away.
