Terminé par sa tenue de livres, Félix enferme le bureau et quitte le bâtiment, descendant une voiture dressée par des chevaux horlogers, et se dirigeant vers le centre du cercle intérieur. Il descendit dans l'immeuble à côté de la tour Alistair et se leva, voyant l'atelier de Gideon planer entre les deux bâtiments.
-- J'espère qu'il ne se vengera pas de mon arrivée inopinée, pensa Felix, j'aurais dû prendre rendez-vous, ou lui envoyer un message avant, oh bien! Les gens étaient généralement assez pardonnant de Félix en raison de son apparence enfantine et comportementale, et aussi de son statut, un fait sur lequel il était venu compter au fil du temps.
"Felix Crepley-Quates," Felix s'est présenté au concierge à la réception, "J'ai des affaires avec M. Gideon Lockheed." Le concierge ne l'a pas remis en question, alors Felix s'est dirigé vers l'ascenseur, jusqu'au plus haut étage. En sortant, Félix s'est dirigé vers le couloir et a utilisé le frappeur à la porte qu'il était certainement conduit au penthouse de Gideon, et a attendu une réponse.
Name: Felix Crepley-Quates
Age: 32
Appearance: Felix looks like a 9-year old human child with silvery white skin with a blonde pixie cut and big, glassy violet eyes. He wears boyish, but sophisticated clothing, his usual outfit consisting of a white shirt with lace, a black vest, a dark blue shoulder mantle, a pair of short dark blue pants, long white stockings, brown leather shoes and a top hat.
Enhancements: Felix is an automaton created to be as human-like as possible. His entire outer covering is a finely sculpted silver, enchanted to behave like skin and flesh, and acid treated and sanded to give it as close to a skin-like texture as possible and to make the surface non-reflective, making it took metallic white, rather than silver. Underneath the silver skin is a network of copper veins and arteries, with mercury running through them. The copper is enchanted to passively give off low amounts of heat to give Felix's flesh a 'life-like' warmth, while the enchanted mercury ensures that his skin repairs like normal skin if damaged. Underneath all that is a human like skeleton that can be felt through Felix's skin. it is made of mostly copper, iron and aluminum. No titanium was used as there was no need to make Felix's bones indestructible, and the iron and copper are not enchanted as there was no need to make him particularly fast or strong. If his bones break, the mercury in his veins can repair them as well. The aluminum is enchanted to offset his overall weight, making him weigh as a human boy should. All of this is controlled by a palladium brain via gold nerves that run through his entire body. Felix is truly a marvel of modern technomancy, and his parents are proud to showcase him.
Caste: Royal Family
Bio: Ophelia Crepley, a member of the Royal Family and close relative to the Queen (as close as one can be to someone almost 400 years old) took a fancy to the wealthy Arno Quates, an artificer who was more businessman than craftsman. Upon marriage, in an attempt to bring himself closer to the Royal Family, Arno changed his family name to Crepley-Quates, an act that brought about disdain and worked counter to his original goal. Arno used his wealth to provide Ophelia with luxuries, luxuries that she indulged in happily, having never known a life outside of being pampered, though she did love and appreciate Arno despite the rumors that she merely married him for his wealth. They were a happy couple and at some point, Ophelia had a child named Clement. Clement was deeply loved by both parents and grew up among high society, but tragedy struck when Clement was kidnapped for ransom. A botched attempt by the Automata Corps to negotiate with an unstable kidnapper resulted in Clement's untimely death. Grief-stricken, Arno and Ophelia turned in desperation to technomancy to fill the hole left in their hearts. They would make a replacement. They used every connection and resource they had to secure the finest the city had to offer in terms of Magi and Artificers to create their 'perfect little boy'. And though Arno never told his wife, some hush money was paid to the Magus working on the palladium brain since a poor urchin was picked up off the street and involuntarily forced to have his consciousness used as the template of the creation. Still, Arno and Ophelia couldn't truly forget about Clement, and in the end, named the new automaton Felix instead. Though Felix's personality was very close to Clement's, he was made aware at inception that he was not human, and that he had been based off of their deceased child. Still, Felix's creation was able to, over time, soothe the wound of losing their child, and they raised him truly as a son. While Arno and Ophelia slowly replaced their bodies with technomancy as they aged, extending their lives, Felix never changed physically, and it seemed the three would live out their lives as parents and child forever. Though Arno continues to run his business, he has shown Felix the ropes of management and finance.
