Name: Allisandri Ratchet

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Power: Superhuman aptitude at all forms of engineering and technological innovation, as well as inability to forget any information learned.

House: Delta

Background: Allisandri's family resided in Vinci, a European state that encompasses the area once occupied by Italy. His parents were apprehended attempting to break quarantine when he was an infant, and with no other living relatives he fell under the wardship of the military regime. He was intended to become yet another fanatical member of the Vincian secret police, but as soon as his incredible inventive skill surfaced he was instead assigned to the engineering division, despite his youth. Once there, he quickly achieved renown for finding increasingly innovative ways to use the very limited resources of the post Bio War era, and especially for his brilliant use of steam power. It was partly thanks to his efforts that Vinci was able to dominate most of Europe, absorbing large swaths of territory of the states to the north. However, Allisandri became tired of seeing all of his inventions turned into weapons and his powers sources going to fuel the machines of war. He was slowly beginning to realize that he was nothing more than a glorified slave to the Vinci war machine. Allisandri resolved to escape from the research compound, and successfully orchestrated a breakout using a number of prototype inventions. After escaping, he traveled in secret for several months, searching for signs of his parents. Disillusioned and having lost hope of ever finding their trail in the chaos of Europe before Vinci conquest, Allisandri heard news of the declaration of the Mutant Islands. With nowhere else to go, Allisandri set a course for the islands, hoping to find somewhere he might finally fit in.

personality: Allisandri's unique abilities and background renders him somewhat of a social misanthrope, placing him in a certain degree of unbridgeable isolation from his peers. He often simply fails to understand how they think, having no conception of a brain that forgets information and can't crunch data at levels rivaling computers. His mind always seems to be one step ahead of those around him, and the sheer speed at which he processes information often places him in a constant high-energy state. Between his intellectual distance and constant activity, Allisandri comes across initially as somewhat aloof and eccentric. However, those who take the time to get to know him may find him charming, in his own way. It is still disconcerting, however, when he makes casual reference to exactly what you were wearing and what you were eating at lunch six months ago.

Partially due to his personality and partially due to his mutation, Allisandri is capable of tremendous focus and determination. Often this manifests as an almost dangerously obsessive pursual of his goals. If taken by sudden innovative inspiration, he can disappear from social life for days at a time as he works feverishly and singlemindedly at his project. Allisandri is competitive to a fault, rising to any challenge with fierce intensity. Because his perfect memory catalogues every wound and slight he has ever suffered down to the most minute detail, he is capable of holding a grudge almost indefinitely. Underlying this intensity is a deep-seated insecurity, and Allisandri seems to be on an almost perpetual quest to prove himself.


Style of dress: Allisandri favors function over form, and always wears something he is willing to get dirty if the need arises. He often wears an ocular enhancement device of his own design over his right eye, and is never without at least some of his tools. He favors a long, brown, weather resistant coat, reminiscent of a lab coat, due to its practicality. His single-mindedness often lends itself to a somewhat disheveled appearance, with unkempt coal black hair brushed haphazardly out of the way of bright green eyes.
