|Profile=Corona Arclite was just a kid off the gritty streets of Brimsteel until she was taken in by an elder machinesmith and trained in the ways of the forge and gearworks. Now it's her job to make sure industrial resources like the Loadstar Depot are protected, by keeping its defense measures running and its defenders properly armed against the cosmic frontier. But instead of tolling in a workshop all the time Corona is just as likely to be fighting alongside the guardians, using her knowledge and skills to demolish the enemy's defenses. Turns out the know-how for building things and fixing machines is also really good for -breaking- them as well, making her a surprisingly effective sapper and saboteur when needed. And it turns out spending much of your younger life having little is good motivation to protect what's important now. Despite being sassy, spunky and all too willing to put herself in middle of the action instead of working from behind the safety of the walls, Corona is dedicated to the cause of protecting the people and resources needed to build better worlds than her own. To commodate for the small stature that allows her to quickly move between defense points, Corona wields weapons more geared towards deterrence and debilitating mechanical threats; like her plasma-powered hammer and shotgun, cutting torches, personal turrets, and plenty of explosives. Sensitive ears render her vulnerable to certain extremely high and low sound frequencies.
|Powers=Resonant Hearing: Foxes have naturally sharp hearing, which Corona can use to listen to the vibrations made through metal and other materials. She's known for being able to diagnose mechanical problems by listening for the distinct sounds of broken or misaligned parts. It's also good for finding and disabling hidden devices like traps if she can hear the parts moving first. By finding the resonate frequency of a material she can better deduce its composition and the best means of smithing, or if necessary, breaking it.

Vulpine Grace: While naturally agile and dexterous, these attributes have been honed a bit more by her early life living on the streets. Corona is as quick with her feet as she is her wits; able to cleverly jump, climb and dig her way through a battlefield to do her job. Environments that would restrict larger and stronger individuals are a proverbial playground for the nimble vixen.
|Skills=Machinist: Trained by one exceptionally skilled and wise machinesmith, Corona has become a masterful engineer of pulsarium-powered anachronistic technology and industry in her own right. Constructing defenses, repairing equipment, and forging new parts for reverse engineering technologies are all in a day's work for her. Taught to use whatever she could find around her Corona's intuitive and improvisational skills allow her to jury-rig anything from old scrap-metal and retro components to modern materials and crystalline circuitry to make something work. When plasma generators and super-alloys exist alongside diesel super-engines and crystal-copper wiring, you learn to make it work together even if you don't entirely understand how. On the battlefield Corona can deploy small turrets that pack some serious punch with their plasma-powered blaster cannons and electrical discharges. She is also a capable mechanic, modifying vehicles to operate safely in the harsh Brimsteel environment, and driving them herself when she needs to work away from the Depot.

Metalsmith: When she has the resources for it Corona will smelt ores into metal and forge alloys for herself so she's got as much as what she could possibly need on hand when the time comes. To do this she also runs the depot's salvage facility, using it's plasma-flame furnace to melt down scrap and seperate minerals so she can reuse them. Just because a piece of equipment is too broken to be repaired and do its job does not mean it can't provide useful materials for later projects; the salvaging of parts and metal recycling helps keep the cost of raw materials down. Even if using scrap parts to repair things sometimes compromises their durability a bit, it does make them easier to replace.

Siege Warfare: As it turns out all the know-how about building structures and repairing machines is just as useful in knowing how to break them apart too. Just because she's normally technical support doesn't mean Corona can't fight. She excels at dealing with machinery, robots and fortifications; using her skills in engineering and improvisation to find the best ways to disarm traps, sap equipment, disable constructs and make it harder for the enemy to hold their own position. And Corona is really good at making things explode. It's been noted that it doesn't matter if she's the one that built it, if she's the one that breaks it there's a very high chance it -will- explode, overload or otherwise violently fail. Even if it is a type of construct that normally doesn't. It's like she has an almost supernatural ability to make machinery destruct in a spectacular fashion.

Logistical Management: There is a lot of math involved in engineering, manufacturing and supply handling. What she doesn't have in book smarts Corona makes up for with practice and experience, handling the numbers not because of schooling or training but from years of using it every day. Arguably she's better at it because it is based on actual learning from real experience rather than reading it out of text books.
|Assets=Gun Slinging: It wouldn't be a new frontier without packing some fresh shooting irons. Corona's primary choice is sawed-off shotgun called the Forge Sweeper that fires a scatterblast of highly energized globules, though it's damage output is limited at longer range due to dispersal. She also packs a modified riveter that has decent armor penetration, and a gun that can be loaded with adhesive for gumming up mechanical workings.

Corona Breaker: A hammer feels the most natural in the hands of an experienced smith so it's little surprise that one would be Corona's choice for favorite tool and primary melee weapon. Originally designed to use plasma heat to keep metal malleable, the aura of hot energy helps accommodate for her moderate physique by making it more effective at disrupting the structural integrity of the target. The energy can discharge at impact, resulting in a blast of plasma sparks. The handle can be extended into a two-handed sledgehammer for better leverage and momentum, but is slower to swing.

Arclite Cutters: Built into Corona's work gauntlets are a set of projectors that function like plasma torches, equally useful in cutting through armor and reinforced infrastructure as they are welding metals together. The plasma can be discharged in a burst similar to a flame caster, but it loses it's intensity past close quarters as the torches lack the magnetic 'shell' to prevent the plasma from dispersing that plasma-powered firearms have. Needless to say, her gauntlets are heat-proofed for safety.

Loadstar Depot: Corona operates out of the Loadstar Depot, which serves as a hub for the network of railways that service the Brimsteel mines, thus also making it the primary defense point against everything from mineral-eating monsters to greedy bandits and industrial rivals. You can only profit from the resources you can ensure safely reach their buyers after all. Specifically Corona is the depot's machinesmith, putting her in charge of both repairing equipment and making sure the depot and supply lines' defenses are maintained properly. Which means that sometimes she has to take care of clearing out mine infestations or breaking the enemies' stuff before they can attack personally.
|NPCs=
|Disadvantages=Sensitive Ears: The drawback to Corona's sharp ears and highly tuned hearing is the susceptibility to extremely high or sudden noises, which overpowers her attunement to resonant frequencies. Certain pitches interfere with her hearing to the point of being painfully disorienting. Weaponry based around disruptive sonic or concussive shockwaves can be highly effective at crippling her even if they don't do physical harm normally because of this attunement to hearing resonations. The shape and position of her ears, along with how heavily she relies on hearing techniques, prevents her from employing more effective protection against such problems.

Tech Bruiser: Corona can dish out some serious damage in a fight, especially against physical structures and machine based foes. But she replies heavily on her special hammer, plasma-powered weaponry and other tricks to have any sort of presence on the field of conflict. Without her weapons, her tools, some bombs or a machine she can jury-rig into service she is little more than an eccentric vixen that may be too smart for her own good.

Lightweight: Being able to scale walls, crawl through small access spaces and move between defensive positions rapidly requires one to be as quick on their feet as they are with their wits. Corona travels light, carrying little more than the gear she needs to do her job, the weapons to protect herself, and some thorough but basic protective measures. She's got considerable stamina against exertion but can't take more than moderate harm from attacks before starting to suffer from it. She is also really easy to throw around in a fight if her opponent is bigger and stronger ... which is pretty much anything she goes up against. If they can get their hands on her, that is.

Lock And Overload: A wise machinist once said that Necessity is the mother of Invention... And that Stability is often a deadbeat dad. This has a habit of being true with Corona's more inventive works, like jury-rigging a vehicle to make it run, or her modified guns occasionally jamming or backfiring because they don't use standard functionality. It is especially true of the sentry units she uses for field deployment. She hasn't quite perfected the portable design yet and they have a notorious habit of failing at inopportune moments. They're also usually made out of scrap metal and spare parts, so they're not particularly durable, and when they do fail it tends to be in the most spectacular fashion possible. In other words, despite being small they explode really, really well.

Machinist's Duty: Loadstar Depot relies heavily on Corona's work to be able to defend itself and the resources it harvests, including a lot of raw material which goes to supplying the needs of warfare as well as her world's efforts to settle the volcanic frontiers. It's because of the these reasons that she works for the Union, but despite doing so she can't stay away from her home for extended tours of duty. If she's needed on home ground due to surges in raider activity or monster threats she can be gone from the main theater of the conflict for stretches of time if her homeland needs her more.

+|NPCs=HOPALONG: A companion construct resembling a jackalope that Corona build with a combination of steampunk and Izzet technology. Sentient but only able to communicate in mechanical sounds. In addition to powerful leg mechanisms and reinforced antlers that allow him to launch like a living battering ram, he can fight by expelling hot fumes and discharging current from his horns. Jaws function as a chipper and forepaws double as hydraulic shovels. Alternately can transform into a weapon that fires the hot slag of his furnace. (PL 20)
