{"name":"Machinist","overview":"[p]A woman stands before a group of goblins. Negotiations have broken down and the goblins have drawn their blades. Before they can take a step towards her, she unleashes a lethal bullet from her pistol, laying their leader low, causing the others to retreat in fear of this unknown weaponry.[br]\r\nCarefully, an exhausted machinist puts the finishing touches on their newest creation. They flip the switch and the small tower shaped machine takes flight. It receives its commands and a tiny pistol lets loose a bullet destroying the target. A smile spreads across the master tinkerer's face.[br]\r\nA man wearing leather armour approaches a horde of invaders who'd overrun their home given the chance.

For that reason, it falls upon the Machinist themself to head out into the world to field test their creations. The Machinist must push their creations to their limit and continue to modify them.
