        Mortefi

        Introduction

        Born into the upper class, Mortefi is a lofty man with an erudite look.

        Renowned for his exceptional talent in scientific research, Mortefi was once famed as the youngest genius in the New Federation.

        Driven by a thirst for knowledge, Mortefi later abandoned his privileged life to work as an International Research Fellow at the Huaxu Academy.

        It’s not hard to win Mortefi’s favor: Just remember to talk nicely, and always shower him with ample praise.

        What defined Mortefi’s character is his passion and dedication for scientific research.

        However, Mortefi’s foreign identity still drew suspicion and rumors. Some claimed family connections secured his spot, others accused him of bribing officials. Mortefi ultimately proved himself with his undeniable capabilities: The fact that he developed five Tacetite weapon prototypes in under three days was enough to shutdown most rumors.

        Character Stories

        Mortefi, as the Huaxu Academy’s sole International Research Fellow, has naturally become a figure of fascination among the locals. His cultured tastes ranged from a deep appreciation for classical music to indulging in exquisite desserts and afternoon tea, not to mention his stringent standards for cleanliness. Each of these facets hints at a refined upbringing, suggesting a noble lineage. Yet, Mortefi insists that his background is but one of many influences on his character.

        He subscribes to the notion that all music is waiting to be discovered, likening it to the scientific endeavor to decode the universe’s mysteries. Classical music, with its precision and harmony, fuels his research inspiration. His penchant for sweet treats serves as an energy booster, necessary for maintaining cognitive function and a good disposition after exhaustive study periods. Moreover, his insistence on cleanliness is practical — a necessity for maintaining sterile lab conditions, making him sensitive to any form of contamination.

        Nonetheless, Mortefi’s foreign status within the Academy has not been without challenges. Whispers of nepotism and underhanded dealings questioned the legitimacy of his appointment. Yet, Mortefi let his work speak for itself, silencing doubters with his profound contributions to scientific advancement. The creation of five Tacetite weapon prototypes in mere days showcased his exceptional capability and dedication, effectively dispelling the rumors that clouded his reputation.

        In the end, what truly defines Mortefi is not his noble background nor the peculiarities of his habits, but his unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of scientific research.

        Mortefi’s personality, while often regarded as intimidating, is rarely impulsive. Instead, he wields his wit and biting tongue strategically, typically when colleagues are dealing with irrational or unjust clients or situations. Masterfully combining the highbrow metaphors and literary allusions of the New Federation’s elites with the trending jargon from Huanglong, Mortefi often leaves his audience at a loss — utterly perplexed yet intrigued.

        To fully discern the layers of meaning woven into his sharply eloquent retorts might require a personal encounter with the man himself. But then again, some enigmas are perhaps best left unexplored.

        In an almost comical turn of events, people even started compiling his choicest remarks into pocket-sized notes — an arsenal of ready responses for moments when they are left wordless facing an unjust situation. The discovery of these portable ‘verbal weapons’ initially left Mortefi nonplussed, then chuckling with a measure of exasperation. He stated, “Their silence isn’t due to a lack of suitable words, but rather societal pressures and cultural norms that seal their lips. As an outsider not bound by Huanglong’s conventions, I find myself in the unique position to voice their discontent without inhibition.”

        Indeed, Mortefi, a foreign man of elite stock, finds himself unchained from social expectations or funding constraints that might muzzle others. This audacious frankness of his, over time, had accumulated him a following—a group of socially awkward scientists who admired Mortefi’s unfettered readiness to champion anyone he just met. This, in turn, only adds to the distinctive appeal of Mortefi, their unexpected ally.

        In the workplace, Mortefi’s lab is seen as off-limits – a domain where few dare to tread. Yet, in stark contrast, it’s considered a magical realm by the children of Jinzhou. With Mortefi’s unique blend of efficiency and creativity, the most whimsical wishes of these young minds are brought to life. A detailed request coupled with a dash of heartfelt praise is all it takes for Mortefi to set his genius to work, delivering wonderous inventions seemingly overnight.

        Despite his feigned protests and humorous complaints about being “bossed around” by children, Mortefi dedicates an immeasurable amount of effort and time to fulfill their imaginative requests, often sacrificing sleep to perfect a new toy or gadget. Yet, he’s modest about his contributions, claiming his inventions are just trivial tasks easily accomplished.

        It’s Mortefi’s brilliance that’s behind 80% of Jinzhou’s most beloved children’s toys and play areas. From the mesmerizing Spinning Bloop, the adventurous Swinging Loongboat, to the dynamic Sabyrboar Scooter, his creations never fail to spark joy and wonder among the young ones. And remarkably, Mortefi asks for no patent fees, finding his reward in the sheer delight and admiration his work brings to children’s faces. Some speculate this generosity stems from an attempt to reconnect with a childhood he never fully experienced.

        However, this remarkable dedication and utilization of his talents have led some to see it as a squandering of his abilities. A notion compounded by the naive belief of some that merely clear instructions would suffice to harness Mortefi’s genius for their ends. Those who have tried to exploit or coerce him have been met with responses of sheer creative brilliance – inventions that, while fulfilling the requested task, also serve as elaborate jests or means of subtle retribution.

        These encounters, often described as fiendishly clever, leave a lasting impression, ensuring those who experienced them steer clear of crossing Mortefi in the future. Indeed, if Jinzhou ever decided to create a department for conceiving ingenious yet playful reprimands, Mortefi would undoubtedly be its most adept and imaginative head.

        Mortefi’s youth was beset by the stifling pretensions of high society and parental neglect. His lofty family home was a prison where he found fleeting solace in bouts of rebellion, taking his suppressed anger out on objects he subsequently mended himself. The practice of disassembling and reassembling mechanical items served as an escape, providing a rare tranquility in the silent dialogue between him and the inanimate objects—a world free of ambiguities.

        But his small acts of rebellion were swept away under the rug, their aftermath replaced by shiny new objects symbolizing his parents’ blatant disregard for his frustration. Yet when they discovered his unusual pastime, they embraced it. After all, the New Federation placed a significant emphasis on technological prowess, and to them, Mortefi’s affinity with machine manipulation was a talent to be nurtured.

        Mortefi was granted access to coveted resources, elite mentorship, and prestigious scientific events. Immersed in this world, he won adoration as the country’s youngest scientific prodigy and reveled in the accolades, his mechanical inventions earning him renown—until a chance encounter at the New Federation’s World Expo introduced him to a new dimension of innovation when he was seventeen.

        There, Mortefi beheld a creation — unassuming yet tenacious, crafted from modest materials but rivaling the stability of high-end prototypes. Despite its deceptive simplicity, it held enough intricacies to inspire numerous research papers. Outmatching Mortefi’s own inventions in practicality and usability, this work was a true testament to human ingenuity.

        His eyes found the young creator amid the jubilant crowd, their gazes meeting for an electrifying moment amid the deafening applause and celebratory noise. Mortefi could only remember one detail about this remarkable innovator: his origin was Huanglong.

        His encounter at the World Expo was a transformative experience for Mortefi, shedding new light on the true essence of beneficial and impactful innovation and stoking a spark within him that would guide his academic journey henceforth.

        Prior to the formal establishment of Wutherology as a recognized discipline within the scientific community, Tacetite technology was relegated to the realm of “magic”. The reasons behind Mortefi’s decision to leave the New Federation on his coming-of-age day, and the journey that led him to Huanglong, remain largely undisclosed. Yet, it’s clear that his fascination with Tacetite technology runs deep.

        Several times, he’s been known to make flippant remarks about dangerous improvements to technology, much to the dismay of others. “I’ve adjusted this turret’s Tacetite module a bit. It can now output a hundred times its original power. Just be sure to follow these 100 operating rules…” Such cryptic comments, hinting at devastating potential consequences, have earned Mortefi—and the Huaxu Academy—a spot on one of the Ministry of Development Directors’ special attention lists.

        His relentless pursuit of advanced Wutherology has fast-tracked the field’s progress at a remarkable pace, albeit at a personal cost. His obsessive work ethic, characterized by sleepless nights and tireless efforts, prompted concern among his fellow scholars, who worried he’d burn out like a flame consuming its own fuel.

        Despite his frenzied work pace, Mortefi often recalls his mentor’s reminder to remain grounded in the purpose of his work. He finds joy in his interactions with machinery and hopes that if his flame were to extinguish one day, he’d leave behind a legacy of knowledge, casting light on the path for future generations of researchers.

        As he finally received the long-awaited results of his latest test, Mortefi allowed himself a momentary surrender to exhaustion, collapsing into his chair. Perhaps the real “magic” of the Academy lies in researchers like Mortefi—passionate souls who shrug off societal norms and conventions to advance the human understanding of the world.

        Yet, with Mortefi’s unwavering drive and knack for creating potentially dangerous contraptions, it’s clear whoever takes up the role of the new Director will have their hands full handling the complaints that are sure to follow.

        Unlike the other expensive items on Mortefi’s person, it’s a lighter of ordinary build and very commonplace. Though Mortefi won’t say where it came from, it’s clear that this lighter is a prized possession of his. When he feels annoyed, he subconsciously flicks this lighter in an attempt to control his emotions a little.

        Inspection Report

        Evaluation Basis [Resonance Assessment 2183-G]

        According to Resonator Mortefi’s reports, indications of his Awakening began to manifest during his youth. His actual Awakening was accompanied by a surge of intense anger.

        Mortefi’s Tacet Mark is located on his right chest. When Mortefi’s Forte is activated, crystalline matter in the shape of dragon scales materializes around his Tacet Mark. These scales burn intensely as he harnesses his power.

        Resonator Mortefi demonstrates the ability to generate and manipulate fire through the focused concentration of heat. The intensity of the flames produced is closely linked to Mortefi’s emotional state. Extensive experimentation has revealed that the fire is a tangible manifestation of Mortefi’s accumulated negative emotions over a certain threshold.

        The Resonance Spectrum Pattern of Mortefi has been observed to align closely with that of the Dragonkin, a species that is currently declared extinct. Due to the unavailability of living Dragonkin for Syntony tests, it is currently not possible to empirically confirm the cause of Mortefi’s Awakening.

        Analysis of test samples has revealed a non-convergent Rabelle’s Curve, with a steep climbing in the middle section. Resonator Mortefi is thereby classified as a Mutant Resonator.

        Resonator Mortefi’s waveform graph shows serrated fluctuations. The pattern of Time Domain is regular, though the peak values show an increasing tendency. Peak values are currently under Criticality level, and abnormal waveforms are not identified.

        Resonant Criticality: High, combined with low stability. A high risk of Overclocking is present. Resonator Mortefi has a recorded history of Overclocking. Maximum recorded Overclock rating: Negligible.

        During Overclocking, the scale-shaped red crystalline matter on Mortefi’s chest continuously expands to cover a larger area of his skin. This transformation is accompanied by a significant rise in body temperature, resulting in the manifestation of intense Frequency Fluctuation. Notably, a fiery apparition resembling a dragon becomes visible behind Mortefi during this stage.

        Mortefi was the cause of a major fire in Desorock Highland. This event was classified under code EX67891 as a Class 3 hazard. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.

        Resonator Mortefi’s Forte and Overclocking history indicate that negative emotions are his primary trigger for Overclocking, which warrants a higher risk of Overclocking. Therefore, it is recommended to closely monitor Resonator Mortefi’s psychological status and implement regular counseling and examinations.

        About

        As always, I’m the one you need… I really can’t win with you, can I?

        Scientific research is but a tool. It’s not magic. People tend to have unrealistic expectations about how research works, and you wouldn’t want to be one of them.

        As a lone traveler, there must’ve been times when you were taken advantage of but couldn’t retaliate on the spot. If you ever find yourself in such situation again… do not hesitate to bring me along.

        Developer’s Notes

        Mortefi sports a neatly combed horsetail of crimson hair that cascades like a stream of flame. His eyes, deep-set and brimming with prideful aloofness, give off an air of elegant danger.

        Unlike the stereotypical researchers, who often come across as rigid and inarticulate, Mortefi exudes a sense of nobility. However, a fervent intensity lurks within his gaze. While his words are gracefully spoken, there lies a dormant dragon within him, nestled amidst the ashes. His politeness, akin to a thin layer of snow, conceals the fiery volcano that awaits its moment to erupt.

        Mortefi’s design draws inspiration from the legendary fire-breathing dragons of European folklore.

        His right chest bears a Tacet Mark, adorned with a striking red crystalline matter that extends down his right arm. These crystalline formations closely resemble the scales of a dragon. To conceal these unique features, Mortefi covers them with bandages and dons fire-resistant gloves. However, when his fury ignites, these “scales” grow exponentially.

        The red crystalline substance grants him the ability to manipulate fire. With subtle guidance, he can channel flames down the scales on his arm, creating a mesmerizing display reminiscent of a dragon’s mighty claw. When Mortefi fully unleashes his Forte, a spectral dragon manifests behind him, its form composed of blazing petals that dance and flicker with intensity.

        Classical music always fills the air in Mortefi’s laboratory, providing the perfect backdrop for his work. With the intricate and precise compositions serving as his muse, Mortefi would write scientific equations with flames in the air as he contemplated his latest research, much like a devoted conductor leading an orchestra.

        Even on the busiest of research days, Mortefi never neglects his afternoon tea ritual. He firmly believes that indulging in fine desserts helps replenish the energy his brilliant mind consumes.

        While Mortefi’s noble heritage demands a flawless image, he devotes minimal time to anything other than his research. His crimson hair, though simply combed, always remains impeccably neat. Similarly, Mortefi’s pristine white robe, his constant attire, rarely bears any signs of wrinkles or stains. His obsession with cleanliness and orderliness extends seamlessly into his laboratory, where everything is meticulously arranged.

        The combination of Mortefi’s chilling face and proud eyes immediately convey that he is not someone amiable.

        His patience for anything outside of his lab is incredibly limited, easily leading to agitation. In these moments, he subconsciously starts fidgeting with a lighter adorned with dragon patterns.

        Usually, Mortefi doesn’t use this lighter for ignition; but once the bear is poked, he won’t need a lighter for fire anyway.
        In European folklore, dragons are often associated with chaos and evil, known as fire breathers and fearmongers. Mortefi, however, never uses his fire irresponsibly.

        Born into nobility, he was raised and educated in a manner that molded his hubris and grace. Yet, amidst the aristocratic circles he inhabited, he couldn’t help but notice the hypocrisy and indifference that pervaded their interactions. This realization ignited a flame within him, one that he cleverly wielded to mock the imperious and scorch those lacking sincerity.

        Mortefi is not one to get angry for no reason. Deep down, he is a gentle soul who responds well to coaxing. Whenever he starts getting cranky, a small concession from his funders, accompanied by praise for his creations, is all it takes to make him approachable once again.

        In fact, as long as you can clearly articulate what kind of invention you want, he is willing to strive towards making your desires a reality, no matter how unrealistic they may sound. Sometimes, this irritable “Red Dragon” feels more like a grumpy, puffed-up cat, who can be easily appeased with simple petting.

        Perhaps you could even try keeping Mortefi in a state of alternating calm and anger by provoking him and then immediately offering consolation? Do it at your own risk, though…

        Flames manifest in various hues. Mortefi’s fire possesses a distinct crimson color that symbolizes unbridled wrath. It mirrors the blistering flow of lava beneath solid stone and smoldering cinder. Born from his repressed childhood and taxing career, this fire within him ignited under certain circumstances. Fueling his heart with wrath, Mortefi harnesses his blaze to incinerate hypocrites and snobs who dare cross his path.

        However, his flames now find a different purpose as he dedicates himself to research. As long as his temper remains ablaze, the fire within Mortefi will never cease.

        Perhaps, as a brilliant inventor, he has already planned the intricate circuitry that fuels his fury.

        Mortefi’s fire is a substantialization of his accumulated negative emotions. As the combat unfolds, Annoyance builds up in him, which, when fully charged, will result in an enhanced Resonance Skill. By then, his enemy will know the furious Dragon’s flame.

        Fighting Style

        Basic Attack

        Mortefi uses pistols empowered with Tacetite energy.

        He shoots gracefully and lethally. Every shot that hits the enemies builds up his Annoyance.
