Aspects

High Concept: Kleinberg Weapons Geek

A scion of the famous Kleinberg family, blacksmiths and engineers, who were among the first to discover and develop ways of working with adamantine. For three generations now they have created some of the most widely lauded weapons in the known world such as the great scythe Obsidian Reaper, or the infamous Meteor Tempest. Valeria was born into the family tradition, and labeled a prodigy in the art at a young age. But she was always dissatisfied with the idea of someone else using the weapons she designed. She would take every opportunity she could to field-test the equipment she helped design, and ultimately signed on as a hunter. Her family is torn between worrying about her safety, sorry to lose her evident genius, and glad to see her go because...

Trouble: Form Over Function

...Valeria is, unless strictly supervised, incapable of designing a weapon without at least one unnecessarily complicated moving part that makes it impossible for anyone but her to wield it, and which serves no actual useful purpose. Indeed, as a general rule, whenever given the choice of accomplishing a goal in a simple and straightforward fashion and accomplishing it in a roundabout, inefficient but flashy way, Valeria will choose the latter almost every time.

Crossing Paths Again: Obsessed with Lost Technology

When Valeria first met Iris, she fell in love at first sight. With the Atlas Hands.

Her curiosity led her to interact with the other girl hopes of getting a closer look, but against all odds the two struck up an unlikely friendship. Iris is as detached and emotionless around Valeria as she is around anyone else, but Val doesn't seem to mind. Conversely, Iris doesn't seem to object to Valeria's presence. And Valeria is the only person so far to have gleaned some insight into how the Atlas Hands work - possibly enough to repair some part if they get broken. Other parts, though, are still a black box to her.

Hekatonkheir

Valeria's pride and joy, the weapon she has spent most of her life designing. Meaning she started designing it at the age of eight. This possibly explains a lot.

Aspect: Swiss Army Weapon

Hekatonkheir looks like an unusually thick (and slightly too big for Valeria) sword, but closer inspection reveals that it is made up of several interlocking parts that unfold to transform the weapon into a variety of different configurations. These various modes vary in usefulness from "I guess I can see that coming in handy sometimes" all the way up to "why the hell would anyone ever make that", and include:

The sword (primary mode)

• Oversized scissors
• Huge-ass pliers
• A giant motorized corkscrew, which being made of adamantine can drill through most substances but was clearly designed for the primary purpose of opening giant wine bottles (There are no giant wine bottles)
• A giant can opener (There are no giant cans)
• A giant nail file (There are no giant...actually Kaiju do have giant nails but why one might want to file them is beyond me.)
• etc

It is occasionally prone to breaking down in highly complex and hard to repair ways.

Stunt: Where Does She Get All Those Wonderful Toys?

In addition to transforming into not terribly useful stuff, Hekatonkheir can reshape itself into every mundane tool under the sun, subject to the following restrictions:

1) This cannot provide a mechanical bonus

2) It cannot be used in combat

Stunts

Spring-loaded boots

One of her more useful inventions. Valeria gets +2 to overcome actions to cover great distances (vertically or horizontally) with Athletics.

Specialization: Adamantine

Valeria gets +2 on Lore rolls related to the properties of adamantine and the history of adamantine weapons.
