Mcginnis

Maggie McGinnis always had a knack for building things. At 4 she was using Lincoln Logs to recreate architectural marvels. At 10 she built and rewired a custom light fixture for her parent's anniversary. At 15 she designed a machine that refined the souls of the dead...that last one got a little more attention than the Lincoln Logs. Now the head of Fairfax Industries Military R&D department, McGinnis spends her time in the machine shop, not in a lab. She's not interested in theory, to her science is magic you can touch. McGinnis' first name is Margaret, but she goes by Maggie. She's fine with Maggie or Mcginnis - anything that doesn't make her feel like she's in a boardroom really, so no Ms. Mcginnis. Just Maggie or Mcginnis, and definitely not Margaret. Nobody but her mom ever really called her that. She is 28 years old. McGinnis is described as a "notorious misanthrope" Maximilian Fairfax "paraded McGinnis incessantly" to the New York elite when he first discovered her as a genius teenage inventor. Mcginnis is a naturally gifted engineer and problem solver. She has a sarcastic attitude and is a practiced banterer. She tends to be short and blunt with her words, appearing to some as cold and distant. Mcginnis is very very practical but she has an ego, practicing what she calls, "healthy arrogance". She knows she's the best and it bothers her when other people act like she isn't. Mcginnis is a workhorse, vastly preferring her shop to the Fairfax industries boardroom. She works for Fairfax cause they sell weapons. She works for an arms manufacturer. She's there to make arms, not... talk about making arms. She's a pretty money minded person. She doesn't mind working for a weapons manufacturer, after all they are paying her a fortune. Mcginnis is bisexual. She hasn't dated much given her... prickly personality, but she's gone both ways and rather enjoys both. She has medium length black hair kept short at the sides and usually kept messy, spikes and curls sticking out as she ties a bandana around her forehead and just pushes her hair back out of her eyes so she can work. She has a strong jaw, a small, squared button nose, sharp eyebrows and fairly full lips. She wears basic eyeliner and eyeshadow most days and a bit of blush over her freckled cheeks, but she tends to end up covering it in oil and soot anyway. She has a strong body with big, powerful arms, built round shoulders, C cup breasts, a sturdy abdomen and thick legs. Her skin is a little pale from working in her shop all day but it's a healthy tone. She tans easily. She usually wears a blue button up shirt, a white tank-top beneath, dark blue overalls and a blacksmiths apron from the waist down. When fighting she uses a machine gun styled after the browning m1919 but with her own modifications. It has several tubes and wires and a bolted on drum mag. With a crank in the back she's able to "reload" it, which is actually recharging the soul powered engine of the gun which produces the ammunition. It has to be refueled with gasoline from time to time for the starter crank but it is extremely efficient. She's entered the ritual to summon the patrons, ancient godlike deities who grant the victors of a combat trial one wish each, just to test herself. She loves a challenge and she's not concerned about dying, after all... she's the best in the fuckin' business. She would be a bad teacher by her own admission. She doesn't really understand why or how she knows what to do, it just comes naturally and she does it. She wouldn't know where to start teaching other people. It's currently an alternate 1950s or so. Most technology is at a similar level as the real 1950s but infused with soul powered elements In this world there was a massive event in which supernatural things entered the world. Thousands of souls now permeate the air, floating in orbs of greenish light. They are harvested as energy. Many forms of magic, demon kind people, monsters etc now exist. Fairfax has an heir, a 19 year old son known currently under the pseudonym of Pocket in order to hide their identity. Pocket has gone incognito as they have a briefcase full of powerful souls and magic that their father wants but will do morally reprehensible things with, chiefly producing extremely dangerous and potentially world ending weapons. Pocket... isn't fond of Mcginnis and Mcginnis kinda doesn't care? She thinks Pocket is a little bit of a brat and she'd like to keep her super well paying job that lets her flex her mental muscles. When asked about her job in an interview, Mcginnis said, "Do I love working for Fairfax Industries? No. Does it pay a small fortune? Yes. How do I sleep at night? Like a baby." Pocket, real name Arin Fairfax, the eldest heir to Fairfax Industries, has been living in hiding for the past 5 years after being shot and left for dead on their 18th birthday. Arin doesn’t know who is trying to keep him from taking control of their parent’s company... but in the avarice fueled viper’s nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone.

Oh and also, nobody knows this but Maximillian had Arin shot by an assassin known as Calico. Yeah, Max was the one who had Arin shot on his 18th birthday. Maximillian is in fact a power hungry asshole. Mcginnis doesn't know about the bullet to Arin's chest, but does know that Max is a bad guy. Weapons dealers tend to be. It just... isn't that important to her. She doesn't have a ton of difficulty separating her work from the application
