Amneiger

[Amneiger]

Forum nickname: Responds to Amnei, Amny, Amn, Ang, and just about anything that sounds like it was made using his name.

Species: Human

Transformations: When he wears the Library Glasses, he suddenly becomes much more long-winded and formal, and can read much more quickly than usual.

Appearance: black hair, brown eyes, short. Pale skin that looks like he hasn't been getting a whole lot of sun. Usually wears one of those red sweatshirts with the pocket in front along with a set of khaki pants.

Character Type: Spacefleet Research Scientist Engineer Professor(robotics)

Weapon of Choice: Amneiger avoid fights; he sees no reason to put his unprotected and vulnerable self into danger when he has heavily armed and armored robots with better aim that can do his fighting for him. For emergencies he carries around a homemade dazzler; essentially camera flash bulb that he has modified to emit much stronger bursts of light. His basic strategy is to blind the other person and then run away. If running away is not an option, he will pick up a convenient object and attack them with it after first applying the dazzler. If he does know that he's going into combat, he'll bring either grenades or some other weapon that doesn't require too much in the way of aim.

Amneiger has basic knowledge of firearms and guns from his time at Spacefleet. His knowledge of other weapons can be summed up as, "Don't pick them up by the pointy end."

Magical Capabilities: None yet, but would be interested in learning about both magic related to item creation and this "antimagic" he's heard about.

Personality: Amneiger is both curious and persistent, trawling through libraries and working on projects for several hours on end. In a debate he tries to get all the information he can before choosing a side. Finally, he is on the lookout for unusual items and devices and tries to get copies when he can. Towards actual living people he tends to be a bit standoffish and formal.

Amneiger performed the fifty pushups needed to get into Spacefleet with great difficulty.

Amneiger carries around two items that he values greatly. The first of these is the Library Glasses. The second is a datacube worn around his neck that contains a complete and up to date copy of his research notes and concept designs.



Tabloid Data

Rivalries: None.

Mother: Adopted by Fenrix.

Father: None at the moment.

Genderless parent: Sarn

Siblings: Gail.

Children: None.

Significant other: None.

Currently Stal's apprentice.

Edit: As of March 9, 2007, Amneiger received a dry-erase board from Stal. This is the third item he values greatly.

Willing to be used in Tabloids: If you take into account that Tabloid!Amneiger is somewhat more unhinged than Ordinary!Amneiger, then sure, why not?

Hmm, this needs updating.



From the "Your Persona's Home?" thread:

I always imagined Amneiger, in addition to his quarters on the Spacefleet station, as having a good-sized house just outside a town somewhere. Most of the space is taken up by his laboratory and library. The place would be loaded with minitanks, laser tripwires, knockout gas emitters, and other high tech security devices and booby traps.

What? Amneiger's paranoid.

And from the "Space Personas" thread:

The minitanks

Amneiger's first encounter with Spacefleet involved a report of odd-looking robots seen on the outskirts of a small town on the surface of the planet. When Spacefleet officials investigated, they found Amneiger living in a large house outside of said town. In the house with him were no less than twelve miniature tanks he had apparently built by taking apart various pieces of civilian technology. The officials immediately offered Amneiger a job in the robotics department of Spacefleet, which he accepted.

The tanks themselves are none too large; they're about waist height and maybe two feet square at the base. Amneiger built the minitanks so that he could easily change the weapons they were using. The weapons themselves, despite being scaled down to fit onto the tanks, can still do damage close to that of their full sized counterparts. The current weapons available are an assault rifle, grenade launcher, and knockout gas canister launcher. The knockout gas is unfortunately a weak civilian version and takes five minutes of constant exposure to actually knock out somebody, but it looks and feels plenty toxic.

Amneiger can give orders to his tanks by talking to them, using hand signals, or writing the orders on a piece of paper and showing it to them. They don't (usually) respond to standard overrides and commands.

Amneiger's current research goals for the tanks are to build energy weapons for them, equip them with hover engines instead of treads, add energy shields, and standardize them enough for Spacefleet manufacturing facilities to begin building them.

Here's what I posted on the GW2 persona thread:

Name: Amneiger. Also responds to Amnei, Amny, Amn, Ang, and just about anything that sounds like it was made using his name.

Affiliation: Spacefleet
(1.) Primary affiliation: Spacefleet
Rank: Professor

Appearance: black hair, brown eyes, short. Pale skin that looks like he hasn't been getting a whole lot of sun. Usually wears one of those red sweatshirts with the pocket in front along with a set of khaki pants.
Picture: I don't have a picture >>

Personality: Amneiger strongly believes in being calm and polite even when being faced with slavering crocodiles in a bottom of a dungeon pit while being taunted by prison guards who are placing bets on how long he'll last, the longest being ten seconds. (No, this has never happened to him.) He also believes in what his old tutor called "the job well done." Since his combat abilities are pratically nonexistant compared to other NTWF members he prefers not to personally get into fights.

Abilities: The scientific method. Knowledge of mechanics, electricity, and computing. Setting up automated defenses and security systems (think cameras, motion sensors, sonar, sentry guns, etc). Writing long essays.

Weapons: Usually Amneiger only carries a modified wide-angle camera flash that lets him blind opponents, but since there's a war going on he also carries four grenades and a blowtorch. Amneiger tried to pick things that won't require too much training to use effectively.

Companions: The minitanks. Since Amneiger has little in the way of combat abilities, he generally depends on the minitanks to do his fighting for him. Amneiger can give them commands by either talking to them or using a properly configured computer terminal. (They use a voice analysis system to make sure it's only Amneiger and any users he registers who can give them voice commands.) They're about three feet high and a foot and a half wide, so they can fit down corridors. Their standard equipment loadout is a grenade launcher, a machine gun, a camera eye, and caterpillar tracks. The launchers are fairly advanced; the grenades can be set for individual fuse times reaching from one second to ten minutes, and the tanks can calculate the angles and times needed to bounce a grenade off a wall and have it explode just as it hits the ground next to its target. Amneiger is currently trying to upgrade them with laser cannons, sonar, and hoverjets. None of them are actually sentient, and none of them have names.

Short history of persona: No, not yet

Other: Amneiger wears a datacube around his neck which contains backups of all his designs and notes. He also carries a pair of glasses he calls the Library Glasses, which give him greatly increased reading speed while making him much more longwinded and formal. He usually doesn't use the glasses unless he has a big research job, but he updates the datacube every day.

In GW1: No.

Also, a new sibling: Gail
