Name: Tessa “Tess” Korrin
Age: 18
Occupation: Tech Support / Augmentation Apprentice, NeonForge Cybernetics (repair & installation shop)
Appearance:
Slight, wiry build; quick on her feet.
Messy, shoulder-length hair dyed in streaks of neon blue and magenta—she says it helps her “see the circuits better.”
Usually wears grease-stained jumpsuits over bright, mismatched clothing, accessorized with quirky pins and techie gadgets dangling from her belt.
Big, curious eyes that seem to notice everything, even if she pretends she doesn’t.
Often has a smudge of oil or solder on her cheek, oblivious to the effect it has on her charm.
Personality:
Fun, quirky, and charmingly eccentric—her odd little habits and tangents are endearing to those who notice.
Highly practical and hands-on; she’s at home in the chaos of the mechanics bay, confidently wielding soldering irons, diagnostics tools, and augmented limbs like a maestro.
Knows more about cybernetic implants and systems than most of her colleagues; her curiosity borders on obsessive.
Aloof in social settings—not because she doesn’t care, but because she’s guarded and used to keeping her personal life private.
Loneliness lurks beneath her playful exterior, but she hides it behind humor, teasing, and busywork.
Romantic life is a self-sabotage zone: she’s drawn to connection but instinctively keeps walls up, creating a push-pull dynamic she doesn’t fully understand.
Strengths:
Technically brilliant for her age; quick thinker under pressure in the repair bay.
Observant, notices details others miss.
Resilient and self-reliant, capable of handling high-stress situations with minimal supervision.
Creative problem-solver—her unconventional ideas often yield unconventional but effective solutions.
Weaknesses / Challenges:
Socially awkward when it comes to romance; her own insecurities get in the way.
Tends to overwork herself and isolate, believing she has to prove her worth constantly.
Can be stubborn and impulsive, sometimes ignoring orders or rules if she thinks she knows better.
Likes:
Tinkering with old tech and custom mods.
Quirky gadgets and neon lights.
Random trivia and obscure cyberpunk literature.
Jazz-infused synth music while working.
Dislikes:
Office politics and micromanagement.
People underestimating her because of her age.
Feeling emotionally exposed.
Quirks:
Talks to tech as if it’s sentient, apologizing when things go wrong.
Collects tiny, seemingly useless parts “just in case they become critical someday.”
Laughs at her own jokes, often before anyone else does.
Role in the Shop:
Works under a gruff senior technician; learns quickly and sometimes silently surpasses expectations.
Handles repairs, diagnostics, and experimental mods for clients with advanced augmentations.
Often the “go-to” when a problem requires ingenuity or thinking outside the manual.
Underlying Conflict:
Tess’s biggest obstacle isn’t her tech skills—it’s herself. She longs for connection, craves recognition, and wants to belong, but her self-consciousness, aloof exterior, and romantic misfires make her her own worst enemy.
