Kettel is an engineer in Machina's capital city of Los Asemblos. She spent decades working on some of the kingdom's most ambitious projects when its industrial revolution took off.

6' tall with gazelle's horns. Sand-coloured skin with black tips on the hands and face. In retirement, she's been developing her own inventions and taking the occasional jobs from anyone willing to pay her rate. She hasn't given up wearing mechanic's suits, and probably never will.

Being part of a tiny minority of Dama in the city, Kettel has heard every racist joke or remark ever made. Usually, she can brush them off and carry on. The worst offenders become victims of petty revenge and a little mechanical sabotage.

Kettel is assisted by a small flying gyro named PAK (Personal Assistant to Kettel). PAK is the size of a soccer ball, dark blue and roughly spherical with brass rings around its middle. It hovers using a rotor on its top and has a large green crystalline eye that doubles as a lamp. PAK is equipped with a small complement of essential tools, and is capable of performing basic tasks on command. "He" communicates using beeps and whistles, which Kettel can understand fluently.

History[edit]

Kettel was Chief Engineer aboard the Valley Echo.

The Echo strayed too close to Gearwhistle over the Valley of Cogs and was boarded by their forces in disputed territory. The Machina Captain was belligerent and ignored their demands to keep a wider distance from their border.

Kettel and her engineering team took control of the ship from the engine room and turned it back against the Captain's orders. The Captain was taken prisoner, but the rest of the crew were released.

Kettel was dishonourably discharged from service for the Captain's arrest, but was respected by the crew for getting them home safely. She hasn't worked with the Royal Airship Fleet since.

The Valley Echo was powered by a prototype engine, designed by Kettel herself with the help of Blaze Kindling. Kettel and Blaze formed a good working relationship, and remain friendly, although they have not worked together on any project since. The prototype engine is vastly more efficient than previous versions, and there is speculation that further punitive action was not taken against Kettel because she did not allow the prototype to fall into enemy hands.

Stunts[edit]

Dama Speed 
+2 to overcome with Athletics when running speed is an issue.
Smarter than the Average Drone 
Once per conflict, take an engineering action with PAK in addition to a normal action.

Kettel's Log[edit]

Tower of Serpents 
Great start! Fell over the wall into a giant puddle. PAK was soaked and had to drain out before charging his battery again. Champagne found way to make Madeleine shut up for a little while, so we stand a better chance of leaving this place without waking anymore trapped spirits. Blaze found another dragon's skull... I hope that wasn't someone he knew. Everyone's found a bit of stuff to carry out with them, but I would't mind a towel to dry off. Do sorcerers use towels?
