Background
Deezy grew up in a small town not too far from Tolkeen; her father a traveling Operator and her mother a Mystic who mostly stayed at home and used spells and remedies to help the folk of their town. She rather idolized her father, who'd pass on stories of the world and teach her the knowledge of the machines and interesting gadgets he'd acquired on his journies...before setting off again. When she was getting old enough to think about maybe setting off on her own, he decided to settle down at last.

He bought a shop in Tolkeen, moving his family there with the intent of keeping a business of instructing and repairing and maybe even designing machinery. Meanwhile, Deezy was intent on finding her own fortune and went out much as her father had before her. Though lacking psychic powers, she made up for it with her own unique brand of magical genius.

She was still traveling when the city of Tolkeen fell under Siege. Word reached her slowly, and on foot she tried to get back in time to help...but it was too late. All there was left to do was try to help the survivors. Over the next days and weeks she did everything she could to discover the fate of her parents. They were never counted among the living, and far too many bodies were never recovered to consider that an argument that they lived, she nevertheless spent time trying to follow up leads...but one by one they went cold.

To cope with the grief, Deezy decided she would follow in his footsteps and start a business. Her version is a bit more ambitious though. She wants to found Klattatech Heavy Industries; a proud purveyor of techno-wizard military industrial engineering! For that she needs money, LOTS of it, and she needs a good way to testbed her designs. Mercenary work is the perfect solution to both! NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

Quarterly Action Deck: Noble Sacrifice

"Play when an adjacent ally suffers damage. You suffer the damage instead."

lol

That's pretty awesome.

I am already planning an impassioned but inarticulate, rambling speech.

Requested alterations - Due to terminal newbie-itis on initial design:

Amend Advances from this:
Initial Advances: (From Hindrances): +1d Smarts, Mr Fixit
Free Edge (Human): Master of Magic
Novice 1 Advance: Power Points
Novice 2 Advance:
Novice 3 Advance:

To this:
Initial Advances: (From Hindrances): +1d Smarts, Rapid Recharge
Free Edge (Human): Master of Magic
Novice 1 Advance: Mr. Fixit
Novice 2 Advance: Power Points
Novice 3 Advance:

That will also use my current unused Advance.

Also asking if I can select Summon Ally with my Hero's Journey 'pick your power' roll instead of Fly, since I can build Fly as a gadget but the only way TWs can ever summon cool robot buddies is if they get that HJ roll. That said, now that we have another summoner in the group that may not be as needed, so it's fine if not.

Looks good to me, and certainly not game breaking. I approve.

Hah! You ninjaed me. I added another thing there.

Broke my own rule of etiquette; I usually try to let a post sit for 5 minutes before responding. Taking summon ally instead of fly is fine with me, too, but because it’s not on your spell list, you have to take it at Novice level (per the HJ table wording) - which means you could summon Novice-level robots, but not Seasoned or higher (until you actually reach those ranks).

That's entirely correct. Even so, it's a cool power and feels very appropriate for Deezy.

Her summons won't be powerhouses, but they'll be a lot of fun to describe and stuff. Just neat little robot guys clanking around...unfolding from coffee cans or whatever she builds their storage pods out of, hehe.
