Caleb Frost

Biases

Positive Bias

Caleb gravitates toward people who show curiosity and a willingness to learn, especially when it comes to salvaging or fixing old tech. This bias triggers if Caleb sees a character salvaging with any tool.

Negative Bias

He holds quiet contempt for those who dismiss technology as dangerous or unnatural, particularly those from more superstitious backgrounds. This bias triggers if a character is overly cautious or unwilling to use technology due to the risks.

NPC Traits

Caleb is intensely focused and often zones out when working on machines, speaking more to his projects than to people around him.

Talent

He has an uncanny knack for repurposing broken tech into useful devices, especially in improvising power solutions from scrap.

Mannerism

Caleb frequently taps his fingers in rhythmic patterns when thinking or troubleshooting, often unaware he’s doing it.

Interactions with Others

He’s soft-spoken and a bit awkward in conversation, but warms up quickly when the topic shifts to something mechanical or technical.

Ideal

"Progress is survival." Caleb believes that innovation is the only way to protect and rebuild what was lost.

Bond

He treasures a worn schematic notebook left to him by his mentor, who vanished on a scavenging mission. He studies it obsessively, convinced it holds a clue to his mentor’s fate.

Flaw

Caleb struggles to recognize when he's being manipulated or used, especially if someone flatters his intelligence or shows interest in his work.

Sleeping Giants

As a Tuner, Caleb Frost has an intuitive connection to the Dark, allowing him to manipulate it like a conductive current through the remnants of pre-Fall tech. He uses this eerie energy to power devices that shouldn’t function anymore, coaxing them to life with whispered calculations and steady hands. Where others see broken machines, Caleb sees sleeping giants waiting to be awakened by the hum of the Dark.
