Distinctions/Triggers

Signature Assets [edit]
Workshop-Shrine An unlikely combination of an impeccably-stocked maintenance and fabrication workshop and a meditation space. Each turn of a bolt a mantra, each drop of engine oil an anointment, each blueprint a mandala.
You're one of those, huh? Weíxiū's sect is widespread, with small temples scattered across the 'verse and convocations via Cortex. Its members are known as oddballs and kooks who are nontheless damn good with a soldering iron or spanner.
Background/Bio[edit]
A member of a techgnostic cult, who believe that their obsession with tinkering and enhancing will allow them to grasp the transcendent. Xe's on a working pilgrimage, out to prove xis worth to take part in the whispered Great Work by seeking out the lowliest vessel and taking it beyond its limitations. Xe isn't too concerned the old Independence politics, and the Alliance wouldn't deign to notice the cult if if weren't for their somewhat expansive attitude to intellectual property.
