UGH I'LL MAKE THIS PRETTIER LATER
Name: Telamon Tech
Established: 12/29/2023
Location: primary location is in Nogard, but he operates on the Roost as well
Armada Affiliation: Corsair
About: There's no specific purpose, but for the most part it's Cid using the technology, both mechanical and magitech, to create new inventions and devices to help improve some aspects to quality of life. They range from self defense to home appliances to small entertainment. Really it's whatever he thinks of and decides to work on at the time.
Before releasing new products to the public, he will often hold an "open beta test" to allow volunteers to try out the device for any unusual defects that wouldn't be found in a controlled testing environment. It also allows for some final feedback for further improvements before release. Those who volunteer will be able to receive the final product for free as thanks. These are usually posted on the Manta Board.
Staff: Mostly NPCs though he'll pull in some of the Hideaway crew members for assistance when needed.
Products: Here are the inventions Cid has released to the public so far:
The Teacaf is a unique machine that can prepare either tea or various types of coffee with just a few switches. Pour in cold water into the reservoir, add the tea leaves or coffee beans in their appropriate chambers, flip the appropriate switches and settings, set the timer, and that's it! The machine will be able to boil water and process the drink. For tea, it will steep the tea for the set time. For coffee, it will grind the beans depending on the setting, for example normal drip coffee or espresso. Valves allow the user to adjust the pressure and amount of water to further customize one's drink. There are other modules to include milk that can be steamed, or cream, milk, and sugar to add.
It has a self-cleaning feature utilizing the water reservoir and steam functions. There is a special environmental cleaning solution provided that is added to the water reservoir and after boiling it will flush through the entire system, filtering out through a hose that can exit straight into the sink. It will then use steam to dry out the inside. The individual modules can also be removed for further cleaning or repairs.
A special mug that has a temperature reading function, capable of reading what temperature the fluids inside the mug is. Through the use of some magictech and elemental gemstones, it can also heat and cool the contents depending on desired setting.
Should it be successful, different version such as cups and thermoses will be developed.
Cid has developed some improvements to the current ovens and stoves that exist. Hecan install a system to current stoves to improve how quickly the stovetop and oven can reach set temperature and a new self-cleaning feature to help clean the inside of the oven using steam. It's similar to the self-cleaning ovens of modern day, just using magitech and different tech to make it happen.
He has also developed his own oven to have everything pre-installed, so if one wanted an opportunity for a whole new oven upgrade, this is your chance!
Small clockwork toys that can be wound up and move around. They take on the form of five different dragons and one can collect them all. What makes these little toys unique is they are advertised for "fun battles" and have a special capsule inside that can be filled with safe, colorful powders to "spray" out, mimicking a dragon's breath. The powders are not poisonous so if accidentally consumed it will pass safely (and colorfully) and it won't stain. Easy to wipe or wash away.
There is a "boss" version that involves glitter. A larger dragon, to receive this one must collect the five different toys available.
For those who wish to contain the dragon battles, a simple stage enclosure is available. The toys are mostly meant for outdoors, but consideration has been made should they be played with elsewhere.
Cid hopes to expand the line with water toys featuring the leviathans after testing how these work.
How to acquire: Some of the items can be found on the game's Rewards Shop but otherwise one only has to contact Cid or visit his main workshop in Nogard to purchase the products. They can be bought in person as is, customized to be made to order, or shipped out. I'm not listing specific price amounts because that's annoying, but it can be assume that they would be standard market value. Negotiations can be made for discounted price along with exchange of services or something else of equitable value.
