Personnel Record
Name: Piter Thompson
Private, Research division
Height: 5′4
Eye Color: Amber
Hair Color: Fallow
Elements: Light, Electricity, Air
Physical attributes:
Thompson’s original specifications were suited towards underground work, with a focus on operations in unstable underground disaster areas. While possessing a respectable strength for his stature, he’s a careful and deliberate worker that focuses on locating, reaching, and caring for survivors while a more permanent form of help is organized. He’s very high-visibility by design, helped even more by a glow from several of his parts when needed. Between bringing light into dark places and keeping the air breathable with his built-in filtration, he is well suited to help stabilize a group of survivors so they can hold out hope.
Equipment:
Internally, Thompson is equipped with internal tanks of compressed gasses and filtration systems, which use the vent port in his torso to help condition the air. Given that he is meant to work away from sunlight, his internal power source had to be pretty robust, and by doubling down on that he’s been giving an extensive supply of electricity that can either keep him running for extended periods or let him channel power into other devices if needed. 
Thompson’s most notable piece of gear is a custom wrench. One of the jaws is plated with a conductor, so that when combined with his generators he is able to direct a current either directly into what it is clamped onto, or in an arc to his off-hand. It also functions as an additional prying tool to help traverse damaged areas while reducing structural damage. The protrusions are extra scanners, helping to monitor air quality and locate reploid or human survivors.
Note- The wrench’s name is apparently Steve, and Thompson sometimes does puppetry with it as he works. While initially a potential source of worry, after some questioning it came to light that it was a habit that he’d picked up to try and help keep children calm while he worked. Apparently that subroutine was pretty deeply learned as he hasn’t managed to stop yet.
Behavior:
Amiable, if a bit meek at times. Quietly friendly to everyone until someone gets him talking and then he’s going to hit them with both barrels, which have been loaded with even more pleasantness. A bit scatterbrained at times, and paradoxically more prone to mild panic the less pressure is on. 
Work Record:
Thompson is a new recruit, having only recently passed training and officially joining up. His record while in training shows very promising marks marred only by a couple late showings, which seem to have been caused by navigational difficulties. Not used to navigating on a vessel.
While his disaster handling experience will certainly be a boon to our organization, he had applied and qualified to work in research and engineering as a primary role. Despite barely being out of training, he’s already befriended most of the wing he’s come in contact with.
His position does mean that at times other duties will be required of him aside from the engineering work, such as guard duty.
