Hello everyone I have had an inspired inventor thread going for a while now…but I can't decide where the story should start. So I want you guys to give me some ideas.
I have thought of using Mass Effect, DXD, RWBY, DCAU (Timmverse/AKA JLU And The Various Animated Series), Warhammer 40K, TVD/Originals, etc.
For Context On What Inspired Inventor Can Do:
Each day you gain two charges which can be spent to improve your scientific abilities within a specific area or theme. A single charge would make you a good tinker within an area, roughly Tinker 4-5. Each additional charge after this doubles your abilities (around a two point bump in rating), with no limits to how many times you can spend a charge on a certain area. As a tinker you have superhuman scientific knowledge, understanding, and skill at applying it, able to make or do things that modern science would consider impossible. Similarly to other tinkers, you gain the ability to blackbox your technology; however, unlike normal tinker tech, you don't need to continuously and endlessly repair the tinker tech to keep it functioning. You have the ability to control whether your designs are easily reproducible or completely blackboxed, or anything in between. You can also make it so that some can understand and study your tech while others cannot. You can both give and take away the ability to understand your tech should you want to, and this can be done anytime.
For example spending a charge on Augmentation and start crafting cybernetics out of scrap. Spend some on medicine and cure cancer in an hour. Should your different themes overlap then they stack, building off of each other and integrating perfectly. All fields of knowledge are viable for this. Spending charges on martial arts would let you design and teach unbelievable fighting styles, and a political science tinker could design forms of government that function better then anything we have today. As long as you have time and resources, there isn't anything you can't do. And given the nature of tinker tech it is automatically black boxed as much as you desire.
So Feel Free To Recommend Ideas.
