Turfers are mechanical Engineers that deal with anything that walks, crawls, floats or wheels its way along. They get their name from generally being stuck planet side as they are found in enginnering bays planetside the universe over, these guys are vital to getting whatever piece of crap you have dragged into their mech-bay going again and they don't come cheep.
You are a skilled mechanical engineer, often working on various types of machinery and vehicles that operate planetside. You have a deep understanding of the intricate workings of all sorts of devices, from heavy construction machinery to delicate medical equipment. Your expertise is in high demand in engineering bays across the galaxy, where you are responsible for repairing and maintaining all kinds of machinery. You're not just a jack-of-all-trades, either - you've honed your skills over years of hard work and study, becoming a true master of your craft.
Despite your impressive skills, you're often stuck planetside, earning you the nickname of "turfer". But you don't mind - you take pride in your work, and you know how essential it is to keeping the galaxy running smoothly.
You may have learned your trade as a young apprentice, working under a master mechanic who taught you the ins and outs of the trade. Alternatively, you may have started out as a generalist, fixing whatever machinery crossed your path before gradually specializing in a particular area of mechanical engineering.
As a turfer, you know that your work is often thankless, but you're always up for a challenge. Whether you're repairing a massive industrial crane or fixing a small hoverbike, you take pride in your ability to solve complex problems and keep the machines of the galaxy running smoothly.
And while you may not get to travel through the void like some of your spacefaring counterparts, you know that your work is just as vital to the smooth functioning of the galaxy as anything that happens out in the vast reaches of space.
Turfer As a mechanical engineer, you’ve spent most of your life planet-side working on anything with an engine. You have a knack for fixing things and can keep even the most battered vehicles running.
Knacks:
Master Mechanic: You have an encyclopedic knowledge of all types of vehicles and can repair even the most obscure pieces of machinery. MacGyver: You’re resourceful and can fix just about anything with a piece of wire and a roll of duct tape. Quirks:
Planet-bound: You’re not comfortable in space and prefer to stay planet-side. Obsessive: You’re a perfectionist when it comes to your work, often spending more time than necessary to get things just right.
