Ninimirizipi

Ninimirizipi is an inventor-tinkerer/scientist. Hyperactive like most Spirals, he is at constant state of designing and building something. He also 'suffer's from a relatively serious case of insomnia, sleeping even less than your average spiral, sometimes not napping for days. When he does sleep, it usually lasts several hours. His skills were mostly unnoticed in his home in the Wind Flight, and he decided to start exploring the world, in search of someplace where his inventions would be better appreciated. Or tested upon.

Ninimirizipi joined The Clan after a conversation with Chufa, the two immediately synched and shared a common interested in "cool inventions and devices". After being promised resources to create inventions for the benefit of The Clan, the Spiral could not refuse. He has become a very strong presence inside the Den, and is often the one who is heard constantly talking along the corridors, most oft to himself.

As The Head of Science, he is tasked to provide The Clan with inventions. He has created many useful devices, objects, customizations, items, apparatus and appliances. However, due to some of his inventions being "crazy and/or dangerous", he has to go through Faralysa first before being able to build anything. This is due to Chufa getting along with his ideas far too easily. Such an idea, for example, was the "Tesla Coil Defensive Perimeter Disintegration System, or T.C.D.P.D.S. The idea was simple: High-powered tesla coils that fry approaching threats. It worked, but sadly it worked all too well. Being not able to distinguish between friends or foes, it shocked anyone who passed their "zones". As multi-elemental Clan, it proved to be very nasty to anyone who wasn't a Lighting, Wind or Arcane dragon. After the incident of nearly disintegrating a few dragons who were totally not meant to fry, Faralysa ordered Ninimirizpi to come through her if he wanted to build something. This at first saddened him, but he soon got over it, for if his idea is rejected, he simply has to make a new one! A better one! A bigger one! Plus, the T.C.D.P.D.S system was kept as a emergency option. Just in case.

He shares an interesting relationship with Astraga. Arguably they are from "different worlds" altogether, but they both respect the other's differences and accept them as strengths rather than hindrance. Sometimes, they even invent things together. As Astraga shares a trait of being an sort of insomniac, she keeps Ninimirizipi company thorough the long nights and days. Their co-designed magical and technological combinations rarely pass through Faralysa's filters, however, mostly due to their habit of being incredibly unstable and unpredictable.

A list of few "Good inventions":

- Compact Cooling Pack MK-II (MK-I tended to explode spontaneously). Perfect for keeping Chufa chilled in the Shifting Expanse. Charged with Chufa's own Lightning magic.
- Compact Power Packs MK-III (MK-I and MK-II tended to discharge when poked, looked at, thought of or moved). Boost Faralysa's inner magical reserve. (Or other Faes.)
- Heavy-duty lights. Illuminate the entire Den and the outside, if needed to. Certain mounted lights can be used to blind dragons (with limited efficiency towards Light dragons), an useful feature in defense and in annoying your clanmates.
- Conveyor Item Transportation System. Provides ease of transport of items thorough the entire Den.
- Eartheater Drill MK-II (MK-I had no heat-shielding, and proved to function at less-than-desirable levels of performance when melting from external heat sources). Provides effective burrowing for non-burrowing dragons.
- Shock-O-Matic Fishing/Lightning Rod. Easy to use, guaranteed to catch ALL of the fish in the pond. Single use per charge, do not point at other dragons. Or familiars. Or objects.
- Invasion-Deterring Fencing. Simply put, some copper/steel fencing that give a shock to anyone that touches them. Ninimirizipi does not recommend to throw fluids of any kind at it.
- Ejecto-Matic Cannon MK-II (MK-I Had a funny habit of backfiring through the rear-end of the cannon). Fires nearly any imaginable object with the max volume of 2 square meters at velocities up to 500 Km/h. Fae dragons should avoid the the Cannon during load up.
- FoodNOW Instant Cooker MK-V (MK-I burst into flames spontaneously. MK-II exploded spontaneously. MK-III left the food cold in the middle. MK-IV overcooked the food in the middle. Also exploded spontaneously. ). Now perfected and explosion/fire free, it cooks nearly any cookable food item in just up to 60 seconds! Do NOT place familiars inside the apparatus!
- Lazy-Maths MK-II (MK-I imploded and created a miniature black hole if you divided anything with 0 ). MK-II no longer implodes into a singularity. Does calculations when the buttons with corresponding numbers and symbols are pressed. Great for mathematically lesser-gifted dragons!


A list of few "Bad inventions" (prior to Faralysa stepping in):

- Tesla Coil Defensive Perimeter Disintegration System, or T.C.D.P.D.S. Could not distinguish friend from foe, resulting in some diplomatic damage. Kept as a failsafe, however.
- Supercharged Megapower Superpack, Sc.Mp.Sp. Unlimited power! Except they exploded after 30 seconds of use. Was also way too heavy for Faralysa to lift.
- Deathray MK-XII. What do you think?
- Assist-o-Booster Propeller. Coal fueled propeller attached to the back of the dragon. So heavy, the propulsion generated barely gave lift enough to compensate for it's own weight, rendering it essentially pointless.
- Metalball Adventure of Doom (Aka, M.A.D). A device with various smaller apparatus inside it, with railings and multiple "routes", obstacles, loops, jumps and magnets for a metal ball to traverse and interact with. Fun to look at, but utterly pointless. Nonetheless, it is a very popular attraction inside the Den. Plans for MK-II underway despite uselessness. MK-II to feature interactive buttons to manually affect the route of the metal ball. Faralysa approved, despite it's uselessness.
- Self-Propelled Shockbomb. Propeller (coal fueled) attached to a Lighting-infused bomb. No reliable guidance system could be created, making it particularly unpredictable. Might land on a sand dune. Might land on another Clan's Den. Might hit the Stormcatcher in the Tempest Spire. Best not tempt fate.
- Hair-Trim Portable Apparatus. An claw-held apparatus designed to cut hair. Way too powerful and unwieldy. One of the only inventions Chufa forbid after testing it.
- Vision-o-Enhancement. Goggles meant to improve the vision of the dragon. Works fine for a while, but tended to leave the dragon blinded temporarily after a moment of use, which was deemed "kind of a bad drawback". Scrapped after no solution found for the problem, but design kept in case solution surfaces.
- Shocking! Self-Defense Apparatus. A sort of heavy, metallic "harness" a dragon can wear. Single charge, provides immense shock against assailants when activated. Pointless on Lightning dragons due to their natural ability to create lightning. Dangerous for anyone else for it also stunned the user just as bad. Insulation efforts proved fruitless.
