Mechanical Engineering Fodder and OM

[Reece]

First off, I'm not a mod, so I have no actual authority. Keep that in mind.

Secondly, I don't think there really is anything about OM that an engineer could possibly hope to uncover. It is the essence of Omniman. In other words; pure, divine power. Magic only usable by mere mortals because the Smiling One wills it to be so. So yeah, at the very least you'd probably need some understanding of magic in order to have any chance at figuring out anything meaningful.

Thirdly; you don't actually need to understand how it works in order to fix your suit, y'know? All Noin would need to do would be focus on the repairs she wanted to complete, wait a few minutes, and they're done, so yeah... she can already do this:

What I mean by that is I'm going to have her capable of upgrading, repairing, and fixing just about anything to do with the newly designed OM version of Tallgeese.

And finally; you're free to give your character any non-combat skills you want; engineering, computer hacking, a PhD in Biochemistry, mad breakdancing skillz... whatever. Just so long as it can't possibly be of any use in a fight, it's okay to add in as a part of their background, so you can at least still give her the ability to manually fix any issues with the suit, if you so desire... though given that it'd probably be quicker to just use OM, and more convenient too (since you can do that anywhere, without needing access to specific equipment), your skillset might not see much actual use.


I hope that at least some of this was helpful to you.
