Tipps

Skittermander Skitter Raised Systems Technician

Role: Computers, repairs, battlefield devices, and drone support.

Personality: Intensely helpful and almost silent while concentrating. Once the repair is finished, Tipps explains every step at once.

Background

Tipps grew up around a communal repair yard where ownership mattered less than whether a machine was useful and safe. They learned to rebuild generators, survey drones, and cargo lifters from mismatched parts. Their compact robot companion, Patch, began as a broken inspection unit and has been rebuilt so many times that none of its original casing remains.
