7 | !!''Free Wrench'' and ''Skykeep'' contain examples of: |
8 | |
9 | * ActionGirl: Lil certainly, although Nita fits between this and LadyOfAdventure. |
10 | * AppliedPhlebotinum: Phlogiston floats the airships and powers the [[spoiler: laser beams]] and generally makes the world go round. |
11 | ** In addition, there's the fug, which mutates animals and humans into rather ghastly versions of themselves...when it doesn't kill them. |
12 | * CoolAirship: |
13 | ** The Dreadnought. When you positively, absolutely, need to put the fear of the fug into an entire continent, accept no substitutes. |
14 | ** The rather ragtag ''Wind Breaker'' qualifies as of ''Skykeep'', when Nita fully repairs it and adds a little Calderan bling as well, so much so that it's called "the most recognizable ship in the Rim" or some such. |
15 | * EnergyWeapon: [[spoiler: Yes, Gunner finds one. Yes, he uses it.]] |
16 | * GadgeteerGenius: In a continent where no-one else even knows how to repair their own machinery, or even tell if it's broken, Nita qualifies, or is at least perceived as this by everyone else. |
17 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Gunner, and it's probably for the better. |
18 | * TheCaptain: Captain West, of course. |
19 | * TheSkyIsAnOcean: Complete with SkyPirates! |
20 | * TriggerHappy: The appropriately nicknamed Gunner and his treasure trove of guns...including a rocket launcher. |
