Book Two

Heaven and Hell are on Earth, people. I mean, my heaven and hell - not yours. Fuck, I don't know you. Whatever. What I'm talking about is Warren Ray's Warehouse. Mmm-mmm-mmm! The equipment, man! The tools! The resources, the knowledge! Do you have any idea what sorta shit we made?!

No, no you don't. Your mind - it'd just BA-BOOM POOF.

Two Mechanical Intuitives. One building. One bottomless bank account funded by Uncle Sam or… Whoever… The Institute? I dunno, man, I lost track and more importantly, I didn't give a flying fuck!

Working for Looney Tune, er Warren, though That was a trip. But, as it turns out, he was a good anti-drug PSA, if you know what I mean - "Don't over use this powah!"

But, then shit got real real, real fast. End of '11 some time, I dunno, times a funny thing these days, man. Someone blew up the organization that was our piggy bank and chaos ensued. I mean, Looney Tune's level of chaos was one thing, but I could always go back to the garage, toke up, problem solved. This shit was everywhere…

Normally I woulda just picked up the gang and hit the road to find somewhere to hunker down - self preservation and all that. You know Redbird? That dude has a hero complex that is friggin' contagious. We picked up and followed him west. Dude got a bunker near Kansas City! But, I'm not for sitting still and all that, you know. There wasn't much to do in the way of runnin' drugs, so we just had weapons and a lot of free time. Toots' bunker made a good R&R space - I'd stop in now and again to resupply, get the new, bandage up. But mostly we, a few of the loyal Ravens and I, were out on the road doing what we could. We weren't super organized or nothin', mind, just travelling backroads and helping the other friggin' Evos out in the boonies, refugees, defending the weak and all that sheeet. Little victories, I heard someone say once - "Don't forget the little victories…"
So, that's how I spent my time. Helping where it was needed, hurtin' where it needed. Idle hands are the devil's playthang, so when we had downtime I was tinkering. I'd already learned a lot from Warren's Warehouse, but now I was my own boss even mech-shit. I made myself a promise, though - only turn that shit on when I'm "workin'", you know? I mean, yeah, it's easier said than done. I still find shit disassembled or reassembled all wacky when I wake up sometimes, but that's only if I haven't had myself a constructive outlet for a few days. It's like any drug, man - moderation is the key!

Aaannnnd just as things started to get monotonous, the daily grind of being good and fixing shit, I looped back around to The Ray Bunker. I think 'bout half the things were packed that day and that's just the sorta shake my life needed. He had news, oh sweet-sweet news, for these pierced ears. He was going home and I was invited. Well ain't that sweet!? Seems Toots has changed a lot. I probably should stuck closer to the hunk - too much of a chip on the shoulder or big shoes he thinks he needs to fill. I dunno. He's changed and I worry. I mean… hold on. Not like worry. Just… Fuck. Anyway, I had to tag a long, keep an eye on im. Besides, he needed some help dealing with Looney Tune's leftover warehouse and some new projects. How can I say no to those eyes… er… sunglasses? So, NYC - Mama's Hoooooome!

Psych Profile

Personality? Well that all depends: Has she self medicated that day? Honestly, Devi is a wild child trapped in a woman's body. Outgoing to the end she indulges in whatever mood fits her at any given time. Most often this is simply an untamable spirit with a bad habit for cussing. All in all, it is a cover, the unerring need to avoid her own "shit" to the point that it leaves her restless, looking for the next filler in life, the next adventure or high. Her greed is masked well in the family-mentality shes established for her biker gang and the few friends that she's carried in her heart through the war. That's right, Biker Bitch, has a heart and it's starting to show with all the good deeds she keeps plugging away at.

Evolved Ability

The basic foundation of Devi's evolved ability is an intuitive understanding of machines and mechanical parts. Just by observing a mechanical object, Devi can understand what its purpose is, how it functions, and if anything in its design is impeding it from working at its fullest potential. She would be able to look at a car that is not performing properly and diagnose exactly what is wrong with it. This ability imparts Devi with what amounts to a psychic blueprint of the machine and its components and allows her (with the proper tools) to disassemble, repair, and reassemble the components. This ability does not reduce the time it takes for Devi to perform necessary repair processes. If she is rebuilding a car from a stripped shell, she would require a week of uninterrupted time to perform the necessary maintenance, provided all of the necessary parts and tools for the repairs were on hand.

Being able to understand how a machine functions, however, /does not/ impart upon Devi the ability to innovate. She could be handed an assault rifle and field strip it, clean it, and put it back together with her eyes closed, but she could not improve the functionality of the gun beyond what it was designed to do, unless it was being impeded by a design flaw such as a mis-manufactured part. She could not build a car that runs solely on water, but if she was presented with an advanced machine she would understand exactly how it works simply by observing it.

One blind spot in Devi's ability is electronics, which in the current digital age presents a significant handicap. If presented with an ordinary home computer, disassembled to its constituent parts, Devi could put them in the proper order and assemble the PC to operate. However, if something was wrong with the electronic components, such as a circuit-board or computer chip, she would not be able to diagnose why. This places a limitation on her ability to work on newer model vehicles as well. Classic cars operate entirely on mechanical components, but most vehicles from the early 1990s on have computer parts within that can malfunction. Devi can understand the source of the problem is something electronic is malfunctioning, but she would not be able to repair the CPU. Vehicle wiring systems are the highest order of electronic complexity she can handle. She is aware of how to connect the proper wires in the wiring harness inside of the vehicle to get the ignition to work, and things of that level of specification.

Devi has learned to blend her understanding of machines together to jury-rig a machine she is familiar with into another of a different kind. Whereupon she could disassemble a car engine and turn it into a very loud, very noisy blender. This shows an expansion of her intuitive understanding of machines, and provided she has the necessary parts to jury-rig a new device out of an old one, she can. However she can only create something she's physically been in the presence of. It does not present her with the ability to build something she has neither the tools nor the parts for.

Developed Ability: Time spent with Warren Ray and war-time necessity have helped Devi to tap into more creative aspects of this power - that is taking her existing knowledge for all the machinery she has seen during her time in the Warehouse and war machines and being able to meld them into new creations of her own. This brain has worked up some serious MadMax style creations with the advancement of this ability.

Friggin' Evos.

Skills:

Contacts:

Devi's business savvy and affiliation with Raytech Industries has made sure she's stayed in the loop of things even at a distance. She's nosey. It's what she does.

Small Weapons Proficiency:

Dealing drugs and arms was how it started. Then there was a war. Then there's the fact that she's a mechanical intuitive and well… WEAPONS! YAY!

Tattooing:

A skill she reserves mainly for show or for the benefit of her close friends within The Ravens, but something noteworthy all the same. Even during war times, perhaps especially during war times, people want ink to commemorate their strife and life. It's a fun hobby.

Break It, Fix It, Change It:

It started with motorcycles, the ins and outs, she knows it all. The maintenance, the care, the love that is riding. It is Devis most beloved escape, first before her drugging habits and wild attitude. And, since Devi still seems to separate herself from her ability and the very fact that she is SLC-Expressive, well, she considers this aptitude for mechanics more of a skill than a "power".

Weaknesses:

• Addiction: Devi is not unlike your common addict in the need to fulfill the itch. While not apt to overdose, she finds herself incapable of coping with, and functioning in, normal life without a few hits of something or other. *Her drug use is not to the extent that would leave her constantly strung out or brain dead. A few uppers or even some marijuana usage is enough. *Since war-time can hinder drug supplies, Devi has to keep a careful leash on the crutch that is left to her - her ability. Seeing the world in terms of schematics, possibilities, pieces of a puzzle to be torn asunder and rearranged… you can see how this godly view can have it's own temptations for one in her shoes.
