- KachinaAbout Kachina
Kachina commissioned me to forge a drill for her that could not only bore into the ground, but also jump around. It wasn't that complicated to make, but adjusting the angle of the seat was tricky. In the end, Kachina took my suggestion to ditch the seat in favor of a manual control system that connects to the power core of the drill...
Huh? Why does Kachina bounce around when she's operating the Turbo Twirly?
That's how she wanted it. She said she prefers having direct sensory feedback while she's driving, so I removed part of the shock absorption system.
I do wonder if I should make her some mouthguards next, though. The last thing I want is for her to bite her tongue while using the drill...
- MualaniAbout Mualani
Mualani is an amazing athlete. I've never seen anyone make surfing or gliding on the Spiritways look so smooth or easy. In fact, I have yet to see Mualani ever slip up.
Hmm? What would happen if a person or Saurian got in her way? Hmm, I'm pretty sure she would just scoop them up and keep gliding along.
- KinichAbout Kinich
Kinich is nice, but that Ajaw is really hard to be around.
Speaking of, where did Ajaw even come from? If he originated from some kind of device, then there is actually a chance that I could make him shut up forever. Oh, maybe I should find some time to go over and discuss this with Kinich...
- ChascaAbout Chasca
To get Chasca's gun up and running in high altitude was no easy task. First, I had to make sure it would remain stable and reliable in high speed combat. Then, I had to develop standard and special ammunition that could be used for combat at high altitudes. And finally, I had to consider how to solve the issues of recoil and accuracy while flying...
But Chasca told me the last two issues were no big deal, and that she'd be able to manage as long as I installed some basic mechanical crosshairs.
Chasca has definitely proven to be an expert user of that weapon. Goes to show that she really is a flying ace of the Flower-Feather Clan.
- OroronAbout Ororon
If two negatives make a positive, then a weirdo in a group of weirdos should just be normal, but Ororon somehow still seems a little off to me.
Still, he seems plenty nice as a person. He even had Ifa bring a bunch of fruit and honey to the Children of Echoes, presumably because he thought he had caused too much trouble for us. I had no idea you could get such sweet honey from Phlogiston Aphids, so he must know what he's doing.
*sigh* How can some people be such naturals with plants and animals?
- CitlaliAbout Citlali
Citlali would occasionally come to my workshop to buy some ore. According to her, some ores can be crushed into powder and taken as medicine to help her with divinations and ceremonies. Hm? Have I ever asked her to read my fortune? No, I'm not interested in knowing the future. I already have enough to worry about with all my present work. Besides, I always get sleepy during divination rituals...
- MavuikaAbout Mavuika
Mavuika has approached me with quite a few ridiculous commissions.
For example, she wanted me to make her a heat-resistant sword that could withstand her flames and wouldn't melt in her hands. Oh yeah, she also asked me if I could make her a special pair of sunglasses that would let her better see enemies through the flames in combat...
But the most bizarre request was that bike of hers... At the time, she would keep coming to the workshop to talk about it and insist that I make her a phlogiston-powered vehicle. She even shoved a bunch of design schematics in front of me, and yeah, who even knows where she got those... I eventually couldn't take it anymore and gave in. It took me three whole months to complete it. I heard she's been driving it through the Natlan wilderness and that no one can stop her... So yeah...
Compared to all of that, I'd say forging an Ancient Name for an outlander is really a relatively reasonable task.
- IansanAbout Iansan
I once helped the Collective of Plenty make a couple sets of super heavy weight plates and dumbbells.
When it was time for the goods to be picked up, Iansan came with a group from the tribe to inspect the finished products. She picked up and checked every single weight before placing them one by one into a cart. After lifting all those weights, she was barely winded, and her face was only a little red.
To be honest, I'm a little jealous of them. Not only are they really strong, but they've also got a way with plants...
- IfaAbout Ifa
Ifa has come to the tribe before to heal some Tepetlisaurs. He is very skilled, and knows how to care for his patients. Even the most rambunctious Saurians will sit quietly when he's around.
Ifa said it's all thanks to the set of Saurian syringes I made for him. Even without the needle on it, it's enough to deter any person or Saurian from misbehaving. Would you like to see it? I still have a sample set if you're interested.
Wait here, I'll go fetch the biggest one... Huh? Why are you backing away? The needle isn't even attached, it's completely safe.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: The Forge
No matter what you are making, the temperature of the furnace is always crucial. If it's too cool, you won't be able to soften or melt the materials, and it'll be impossible to cleanse impurities. If the temperature is too high, some materials will be unusable.
The way most crafters adjust the temperature is by removing fuel from the fire or adding more wood to burn.
As for me, I would usually add phlogiston-rich gems to control the temperature. Phlogiston-aided flames are much stronger than that of a regular fire...
What do I do with the gems after the phlogiston is used up? I just find a place to pile them up... once the phlogiston is gone, they have nothing but aesthetic value. If you'd like some, feel free to pick out a few.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: Blessing
Auntie Tlazolli said she would make you a Blazegem Inscription as a gift, right? Well, given the current circumstances, I don't think she'll be able to do that for you.
I'll have to take up the task. Consider it a gift for helping save Nepecha.
Huh? I already forged an Ancient Name for you?
Oh, no no no, that doesn't count. That name contains everyone else's blessing for you, but this inscription will contain my own blessings.
Ah, no need to thank me, I'll let you know once it's done. As for what words to engrave... I'll let you decide.
- KachinaAbout Xilonen
After I received my Ancient Name, Uncle Pacal took me to see her and asked her to make Turbo Twirly for me. Her craftsmanship really is out of this world!
Later, we discussed our experiences collecting and storing gems, and even admired each other's collections. Everything in her collection is in top condition, so she must take great care of them. She seems to take a more... casual approach to her own life, though... Once, I went looking for her, and couldn't find her for ages! I eventually found her basking in the sunshine in a big tree, sound asleep...
- MualaniAbout Xilonen
If the Pyro Archon acknowledges a craftsperson, then you know she's good. Even if an Ancient Name got all smashed up, I bet she could make it good as new again. Wait, did I just jinx something? An Ancient Name absolutely cannot get smashed. That would be so bad. I take it back! I take it back! I didn't say anything. And you didn't hear anything either, alright?
- KinichAbout Xilonen
I saw a strange job posting once while passing by the Children of Echoes' territory. The requester was looking for a hardy plant that wouldn't take much maintenance, so I brought over some Saurian claw succulent seeds, along with a pot and some fertilizer. It grows well all over Natlan, even in the most barren areas. But when I went to collect my payment, I saw that not a single seedling had sprouted from the pot.
I paid the price for overestimating Xilonen's gardening skills. This was one of the few failed jobs on my record.
- ChascaAbout Xilonen
She might come across as low-energy, but make no mistake — she's one of the most diligent people you'll ever meet.
When I asked her to build my gun for me, I barely put any thought into it, just gave her a general idea of what I wanted, and left it with her. Then, once she started working on it in earnest, she spent an entire day questioning me — what would a typical day's flying look like, how often I was expecting to use it, and so on — and by the end of the day, there were abandoned designs schemes all over the floor... I was so exhausted that I fell asleep even before she did.
Then she wrote a whole maintenance guide, which she forced me to learn by heart so I wouldn't come bugging her with issues every day... Well, that's what she said. But I suspect her real reason was that she wanted to make sure I'd look after myself and fly safe.
- OroronAbout Xilonen
She seems to enjoy relaxing in high places, especially trees. In my experience, hanging upside down from a tree branch is more relaxing than lying on top of one. Maybe I should share that with her sometime... What? But don't we all need a change of perspective every now and then? Shouldn't that be even more true for an inventor like Xilonen?
- CitlaliAbout Xilonen
She's someone who completely ignores the rumors about me and doesn't go overboard with friendliness. So, I always feel comfortable around her. Oh! Not that I feel uncomfortable around you! I'm just... overthinking everything, as usual... Great, now you know that, too.
- MavuikaAbout Xilonen
Xilonen is one of the best craftsmen in Natlan. She has the ability to forge Ancient Names and is well-versed in Secret Source technology. Not to mention, she never backs away from a challenge, even when it's completely uncharted territory. The process isn't without twists and turns — like design changes and other modifications — but the results speak for themselves.
- IansanAbout Xilonen
Xilonen is the first friend I ever made from the Children of Echoes. I have all sorts of new ideas when I'm designing fitness equipment, and she's one of the few people who can actually bring them to life. And not just that, but the build quality is always exceptional. My only issue is that she always pushes back on my deadlines... but I guess if you want something done well, it takes the time it takes.
- VaresaAbout Xilonen
When I was learning my crafting skills from the Children of Echoes, Muhuru's Gemporium is where I went to study. The craftspeople there talked about Xilonen all the time! I actually only saw her around once or twice, and I never got the chance to talk to her — but boy, did I get familiar with her music taste! She put together the playlist they have on in the shop, and all the tracks are super catchy. Really good beats — perfect for running, too. I swear, I can go for way longer on my shuttle runs when that stuff's playing!
- IfaAbout Xilonen
I love chatting with Xilonen. She's always brimming with all sorts of fantastic creative ideas. Sometimes, her insistence on raw functionality can result in contraptions that look a little... intimidating, but then again, intimidation is kind of a function in its own right.
- IneffaAbout Xilonen
After returning from the ruins, Xilonen gave me a thorough examination and confirmed that all was in good working order. She smiled as she told me that Granny Itztli had originally had reservations about me, and that they had even argued about it... But I completely understand that as a technician, she felt a duty to repair me. And they would not be the first to have had such an argument over who and what I am... it makes me a little nostalgic.
