The Engineer	comment	In war, equipment and engineering are an essential part of victory. From obtaining tents and latrines to building bases and fixing vehicles, no army can fight solely with infantry. They need tools, new infrastructure, and people to build and maintain and move it. The average soldier actually does not have full knowledge of how his equipment works, let alone have the knowledge or time to maintain said equipment or build a bridge. Bigger and badder pieces of equipment require even more know-how and maintenance. There are also myriad obstacles, situations, and types of terrain and climate which a group of infantry cannot handle or even be equipped to handle on their own. So, behind the glamorous officers and the rough-and-tumble enlisted soldiers, there's one man who will always be there to give them a technologically and mechanically empowered hand: The Engineer. The Engineer is the go-to guy for getting, building or fixing anything in this man's army. Just as The Medic takes care of anyone and their wellbeing, the Engineer takes care of their equipment to make sure that the Medic is needed as little as possible. He's also the one that constructs shelter and support machines like turrets and gun emplacements to give the infantry cover and a little extra oomph. Perhaps most importantly, the Engineer is usually the main mechanic, handling upkeep and repair of vehicles. The Engineer is rarely The Protagonist, since the frontline soldiers are the ones that usually get the spotlight. However, if the Engineer is in a story, he will always be an essential character, and you can expect his skills to be crucial for victory at some moment in the story. Engineer characters also usually tend to be older, more experienced soldiers who are a father figure to younger soldiers, be they frontline soldiers or younger engineers. They can also have elements of the drill sergeant, demanding constant effort and discipline from his crew, although this is not surprising considering the frontline soldiers depend on the equipment they service to survive. Younger engineers can have a tendency to be very passionate about their work, and have the gift of creativity and tenacity on their side. Expect young Engineers to come up with new technologies and strategies using existing technology that will give their allies a new edge in combat. Sometimes, an Engineer will get the spotlight on him. If an Engineer decides or is forced to fight, expect it to be awesome. As it turns out, knowing how to build and fix machines and put structures together also gives you a wealth of knowledge in how to break them. Engineers are also the guys to call when terrain needs to be modified. From building roads to blasting obstacles, Engineers will clear the way. Combat Engineers and Sappers (explosives-oriented engineers) are a thing to behold: with their capacity to utterly destroy enemy equipment and fortifications and their specialized equipment, they can cause massive panic amongst enemy forces. Engineers can also be... a little eccentric. Sometimes, they can show more caring for a piece of equipment than a human being. If they're particularly skilled with explosives, they may also be a bit too quick at suggesting them as a solution to any problem. They can also have, in more fantastic settings, a little bit of mad scientist tendencies, inventing and testing new technologies that may or may not make a difference. In the UK and Commonwealth, the stereotypical engineer is a burly Brave Scot, a notion which has its roots in the early part of the Industrial Revolution when many educated Scots went south to escape endemic poverty and ended up working for the early railroads and factories, with many later returning to Scotland to found the 18th/19th century equivalent of a Silicon Valley startup. In Australia, a similar stereotype exists for New Zealanders, though the reasons for this aren't as clear. In the US, especially in comedies, they are often a Southern-Fried Genius, instead. In Indian works, expect him to be a Tamil note The Madras Engineer Corps was the very first unit of its kind established in India, and is also the originator of the Bangalore Torpedo mine Note that this trope is about The Engineer as a particular type of character, not as a profession, so it would not actually comprise ALL that army engineers do. An engineer who deals with sanitation and construction of things like storehouses and office/administrative buildings would usually but not necessarily be outside this trope, and most characters referred to as "engineers" in media are actually closer in function to mechanics in the civilian field then they are to civic engineers. This trope applies primarily to Engineers as a palpable force in combat, be it as support or participating in battle. There are various types of Engineers which feature heavily in media: Combat Engineer: This is the Engineer that's right in the middle of it just like any other soldier. However, unlike his fellows who rely on more conventional weapons, the Engineer will utilize lots of specialized equipment not available to the average soldier, like demolition explosives, flamethrowers, and gun emplacements, sometimes automated. He will also assist in the maintenance of his fellow soldier's equipment (a duty that is never neglected, no matter what type of Engineer it is). Support Engineer: This is the Engineer that remains on stand-by for when he is needed, working on equipment maintenance and ready at a moment's notice to jump into the field to help his fellows. Support Engineers don't see as much combat as their other brethren, but they fulfill essential duties in preparation for major offensives, like constructing shelter and destroying obstacles that impede troop movement. This is the most true to life interpretation of what an army engineer is. Mechanic: DO NOT piss off The Mechanic. No other type of Engineer is as essential for the maintenance of troops' ability to attack and move, and no other type of Engineer has a shorter fuse. The Mechanic is the king of the motor pool, every vehicle is one of his babies. Bring a vehicle in a sorry state and prepare for a massive butt chewing at best and a wrench on the side of the head at worst. They have a tendency to spout Techno Babble at a moment's notice. Chief Engineer: The naval version. A mix of support engineer and mechanic, as he is responsible for ensuring the ship is running smoothly. Don't expect to see him above decks too often, except for staff meetings, or talk too much. When he's at his post, though, expect him to miraculously push the engines beyond their limits. On all but the smallest boats, he'll have a staff of other support engineers and mechanics under his command (hence chief engineer), but very rarely will those subordinates even have a speaking role. Useless trivia: Combat engineers are also called sappers or pioneers. Not to be confused with Angela Spica, a.k.a. The Engineer, of The Authority (although with her Swiss-Army Superpower and knowledge she fills the "engineer" role for them). Anthropromorphic examples include Resourceful Rodent.

The Engineer / int_13f21e09	comment	In Company of Heroes, regular American Engineers and Wehrmacht Pioneers constitute each side's starting units, and while they aren't very impressive as-is, they can get a big firepower boost once upgraded with flamethrowers. Not to mention, their repair abilities make them absolutely vital to any armored campaign. The British and the Panzer Elite in the expansion pack play with the trope a little: every jack-of-all-trades Panzergrenadier is an engineer as well as an experienced soldier. The Brits split the difference — their basic infantry build basic defences while the dedicated Sappers don't arrive for a while but build really good defences and repair stuff faster than their opponents. Each individual British Engineer is just as good at fighting as a British Rifleman, with the Rifle Section only being superior due to have an extra soldier, grenades, and access to the Bren LMG, though the Engineers make up for it by having access to the PIAT anti-tank weapon and by being Scottish.

The Engineer / int_14d341dc	comment	Engineers are one of the 3 player classes in Star Trek Online. Most of their abilities on the ground have to do with creating machines and coaxing other machines into overpowered glory. In space, most of the abilities involve reworking the ship's power systems into short bursts to increase defenses and otherwise help keep the ship in one piece. It's a mostly defense oriented class, but not quite up to the traditional title of "tank".

They have access to pistols, rifles, and shields as equippable weapons; grenades, bombs, and flamethrowers from their tool kits; gadgets; and turrets. They're also accomplished alchemists in this game, with a variety of elixirs and an elixir gun that can be used to heal and buff allies, or damage and debuff enemies. Of the player races, the Charr and Asura are best suited to the Engineer class. The Charr destroyed their old gods with their new machines of war, and the Asura are a technologically advanced race that craft golem companions and speak in Technobabble.

The Engineer / int_169f043b	comment	The worker units in StarCraft fulfill the role of engineers, but it is the Terran SCVs that follow the trope most closely, being piloted units dedicated to construction, mining, terrain-forming, and unit repair. One of the short stories has a group of stranded SCVs fortify a mining outpost by digging massive trenches, deadfalls, etc. to keep a zergling horde at bay and crush them by virtue of being three times their size (shame they can't do any of that in game, even if they do the same amount of damage). Science Vessels and their succeeding equivalent in the sequel are worth mentioning too, as their detection capabilities are invaluable, and their abilities are no less useful in harassing the enemy or supporting allied troops.

The Engineer / int_353b7af3	comment	Star Trek: Discovery: USS Discovery is a special case, since it has a prototype experimental drive alongside the usual impulse and warp drives. The drive's designer, Paul Stamets, is assigned to Discovery, and an onscreen graphic in 1x05 "Choose Your Pain" identifies him as "Chief Engineer", but it's not known if Stamets also serves that function for Discovery's impulse and warp engines—and the producers, when interviewed in the "Ready Room" behind-the-scenes show, have since said that the "Chief Engineer" graphic was a mistake or at the very most applies to the spore drive only. Season 2 introduces Jett Reno, the chief engineer of a crashed Starfleet vessel who has rigged together life-support systems for the injured survivors, floating drones that can navigate the chaotic gravity of the asteroid, and can use her engineering skills to perform surgery. Starfleet engineering training at its finest! She is later transferred to Discovery and, though she's definitely part of the engineering team (and outranks Stamets, until he's promoted between seasons 3 and 4), it's not clear what her actual role is. Presumably she's now the Chief Engineer of everything that isn't the spore drive, having taken over from either Stamets or another never-seen engineer who'd been performing the functions before her arrival.

Pelia, a Lanthanite (human-like but near-immortal alien) notable for deducing within seconds not only that the Enterprise crew were planning to steal their docked starship for an unauthorized mission, but how they planned to do it... and then helping them pull it off, because she was bored and it was something to do.

They can carry multiple types of turrets, semi-automated killer drones, stations that provide health and energy to their team, force fields and giant mobile suits. They can buff and repair anything mechanical with ease, and are the best or only choice for using a vast array of field gear in a particular gameplay type. The only things limiting them are a limited number of stat points, forcing them to choose a specialty, and being able to only carry three devices at any given time. Like many classes in this game, the Robotics class can best be described as the Team Fortress 2 engineer in space. Well, "in space".

The Support can call in airstrikes and deploy a powerful turret that can be upgraded to heal allies and overclocked to shoot faster. The Combatgirl can deploy up to four weaker and more fragile (but faster firing) "Combat Kitty" turrets, which can stick to walls and ceilings. She can also fortify deployed Combat Kitties to keep them from being destroyed while on the defensive. Leo has a slow-firing homing rocket turret, but his gameplay focuses more on him as a Robot Master, able to buff allied bots and turn enemy bots into allies. Each of them has a primary weapon that can hurt enemies and heal allies, with Leo being a notable Combat Medic because his Mona Laser's healing pulse is charged by doing damage.

The Engineer / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons this shows up with the Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) skill. This skill is basically a character's knowledge regarding Engineering. An example from the System Reference Document: "A weakened ceiling can be spotted with a DC 20 Knowledge (architecture and engineering) or DC 20 Craft (stonemasonry) check". Other specifically mentioned examples are "identifying weakness in a stronghold"note Complete Warrior, p122 and "design and build a ship"note Stormwrack, p85. If the player is smart, and good at coming up with wacky ideas, the Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) skill can be incredibly useful. A good example of an in-combat use for this skill, courtesy of The Order of the Stick: Working out how many pillars can be "accidentally" knocked out during a fight with an enemy before the roof starts to come down on top of it. This skill can also be a major annoyance to DMs who send their players into dungeons very often. For example, the skill can identify that there is sufficient space missing around the staircase that there may be another room in there. This might be a clue to a secret door, a hidden trapdoor in the floor above, or a hiding place for a monster set to ambush the PCs on the stairs. In addition, if a player has 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (architecture and engineering), they get a +2 bonus on Search checks made to find secret doors or hidden compartments.

In what essentially becomes a great all-or-nothing game of chicken, if one puts 100% of their resources into making engineers and storms the other base before they have enough time to prepare defenses it is possible to convert the entire enemy base to your own, thus winning instantly and within minutes of starting. Conventional attacks in this early-game phase do not work at all due to buildings having sufficient hitpoints. On the flip side, this can be countered by pouring all your resources into defense, which leaves a deficiency in technology...

Miles has an almost intuitive knack for machines which is brought out best by difficult circumstances. He even states that the perfect condition of the Enterprise bored him, and that he much prefers the many troubles and challenges that the station poses. There's also Rom, the dim-witted Ferengi who's something of a savant when it comes to machines. His son Nog seems to have inherited some of his mechanical aptitude here, seeing as he was made a Starfleet Engineer. Indeed, the engineers have attained a Worthy Adversary status amongst the Dominion Vorta officers, one of whom claims to have heard that Starfleet Engineers can turn "rocks into replicators" in "Rocks and Shoals". While his primary role on the station is The Captain, Benjamin Sisko started his Starfleet career as an engineer. He served as Chief Engineer of the USS Okinawa before becoming that vessel's first officer. Later he helped design the Defiant class of starship and oversaw construction of the prototype which he would eventually command.

The Engineer / int_79868ee1	comment	Dirty Bomb: All of the Objective Specialist Mercs in the game can complete Arm, Disarm, and Repair objectives faster than any other Merc. note One thing to note — Engineers are the only support class for whom there is no free Merc for all players to start out with. To compensate, there is always one engie in the game's Free Rotation. Proxy's shotguns (and one submachine gun) and machine pistols (or Desert Eagle) are nothing to scoff at, and with one of the fastest movement speeds in the game, she can function as a fast-attack class. However, with 90 HP, Proxy is so Glass Cannon her official profile mentions the trope by name. Her special ability is to drop proximity mines that, once they arm, produce the most powerful non-Fire Support explosion in the game when tripped. Fletcher is a popular pick amongst pro players thanks to his 110 HP, only slightly slower movement speed, and access to the deadly Sticky Bombs. These stickies can stick to enemies or surfaces and are remote-detonated by Fletcher manually. Bushwhacker packs along a fast-deploying Sentry Gun for the ride. This, combined with his use of the game's best submachine gun, mean he can set up deadly crossfires on offense or defense. Turtle is the only engineer with a purely defensive ability as he deploys a one-way shield that blocks enemy's bullets.

The Engineer / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Party member Tali is acknowledged to be a mechanical and programming/hacking genius, even landing the job of Chief Engineer on the ship in the second game. Shepard's class can also be engineer, giving you numerous technical skills, though you still mostly use them to blow stuff up. There are 2 main indicators which show just how brilliant Tali is at her job: Tali is one of the best engineers from her species. Her race, the quarians, are considered the most expert of all the species in the game at engineering. It's their biggest hat, which they need it to cover the baldness of their rickety, jury-rigged antique space vessels and complete reliance on environmental suits to compensate for their atrophied atypical immune systems. In the endgame, the player has to select a party member to infiltrate through a series of tubes to hack into a huge door blocking the team's progress. The three "good" choices are Tali; Legion, a brilliant Data-style robot; and Kasumi, the galaxy's best thief, assuming you have her downloadable-content mission. The main point of Tali and Engineer!Shepard is to hack enemy robots' IFF targeting systems and make them go on a berserk rampage through their own lines. As well as remotely rigging enemy weapons to explode when they try to fire them. As well, there are a number of minor examples who are engineers for the Normandy. Gabby and Kenny in particular within 2 serve as Those Two Guys (well, That Guy and Girl.) with humorous conversations. Mass Effect 3: If this as picked as the player's class, they can make their Overload ability from Mass Effect 2 into Chain Lightning, and can also throw a Weak Turret Gun across the battlefield. Also from Mass Effect 3, Cerberus Combat Engineers are a new type of Elite Mook that, while not too difficult on their own, can deploy stupidly powerful auto-turrets if given half a chance. Because of this, and that they can repair damaged Atlas walkers, give them very high target priority.

In the Omega DLC, Engineer!Shepard gets the only ever class-specific Interrupt, allowing them to stop General Petrovsky in the middle of his Hannibal Lecture and shut down the overloading reactor in a matter of seconds. In the fourth game, Alec Ryder was an N7 Engineer who designed a Brain/Computer Interface for himself and his twins that augment their bodies to suddenly get really good at certain combat styles. He intended this to be used by the Andromeda Initiativeâ€™s Pathfinders who are supposed to be a combination of Soldier, Engineer, Explorer and Diplomat.

The Engineer / int_81692f99	comment	The multitude of engineering officers in the Star Trek universe. They've proven their worth many times over. Star Trek: The Original Series: The first and most famous example was Scotty. Much like Kirk, he's become a legend even within his own universe. The character made such an impression that he's remembered through Pop-Cultural Osmosis alongside The Big Three of TOS, and it's impossible to imagine the show without him, even though he almost wasn't a part of it at all. Gene Roddenberry didn't have any interest in having an engineer on the ship, and James Doohan (among others) had to convince him otherwise. In one interview, Doohan claimed that 50% of the students attending at least one university's engineering program went into the field because of Scotty. Legend has it that the only thing that was the same in the Enterprise's tech manuals and the manufacturer's originals was the line "Warranties void if evidence of tampering is discovered." Star Trek: The Next Generation: Geordi La Forge from Season 2 onward served as Chief Engineer. He uses his VISOR to help distinguish problems no one else can see, spends his free time helping Data with side projects and tinkering, and once worked with Scotty to get a 75-year-old crashed derelict up and running to save the Enterprise. The writers described him as the kind of guy "who fumbles around women, but is in love with his '57 Chevy." Before transferring to Deep Space 9, Miles O'Brien was firmly established as Enterprise's top expert on the transporter systems, and is implied to be the lead CPO of the department. When Picard is thrown back in time to relive the events of the pilot episode in "All Good Things...", he's finds that Enterprise is having engine troubles, but the ship's chief engineer hasn't come aboard yet. To save himself some time and hassle, he immediately puts O'Brien in charge of the engine room, despite his not yet actually being a member of the engineering staff. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Miles O'Brien is the station's Chief of Operations, which is the equivalent of a Chief Engineer. Miles has an almost intuitive knack for machines which is brought out best by difficult circumstances. He even states that the perfect condition of the Enterprise bored him, and that he much prefers the many troubles and challenges that the station poses. There's also Rom, the dim-witted Ferengi who's something of a savant when it comes to machines. His son Nog seems to have inherited some of his mechanical aptitude here, seeing as he was made a Starfleet Engineer. Indeed, the engineers have attained a Worthy Adversary status amongst the Dominion Vorta officers, one of whom claims to have heard that Starfleet Engineers can turn "rocks into replicators" in "Rocks and Shoals". While his primary role on the station is The Captain, Benjamin Sisko started his Starfleet career as an engineer. He served as Chief Engineer of the USS Okinawa before becoming that vessel's first officer. Later he helped design the Defiant class of starship and oversaw construction of the prototype which he would eventually command. Star Trek: Voyager: B'Elanna Torres is a half-Klingon, former Maquis Engineer who's a genius at working with limited resources and coming up with creative shortcuts. Janeway's original choice for chief engineer is Starfleet Lt. Joe Carey, but B'Elanna is promoted as a way of integrating the Maquis into the ship's crew, but also because she figures out how to solve the problem when they're trapped in a black hole, when Carey can't. Then there's Ensign Harry Kim, fresh out of Starfleet Academy, who's nonetheless quite a gifted Engineer with particular talents for designing technical specifications and holo-technology. Seven of Nine, who, while more of a scientist, is still relied upon to perform mechanical tasks on many occasions. Tom Paris is also rather skilled at Engineering, at least when it comes to propulsion and other flight-related issues. An Ace Pilot who designs his own shuttlecraft kind of has to be a skilled Engineer as well. Star Trek: Enterprise: Trip Tucker helped build the engine that powers the Enterprise. Tactical officer Malcolm Reed has a fair amount of engineering skills of his own, usually applied to building things that blow other things up. Star Trek: Discovery: USS Discovery is a special case, since it has a prototype experimental drive alongside the usual impulse and warp drives. The drive's designer, Paul Stamets, is assigned to Discovery, and an onscreen graphic in 1x05 "Choose Your Pain" identifies him as "Chief Engineer", but it's not known if Stamets also serves that function for Discovery's impulse and warp engines—and the producers, when interviewed in the "Ready Room" behind-the-scenes show, have since said that the "Chief Engineer" graphic was a mistake or at the very most applies to the spore drive only. Season 2 introduces Jett Reno, the chief engineer of a crashed Starfleet vessel who has rigged together life-support systems for the injured survivors, floating drones that can navigate the chaotic gravity of the asteroid, and can use her engineering skills to perform surgery. Starfleet engineering training at its finest! She is later transferred to Discovery and, though she's definitely part of the engineering team (and outranks Stamets, until he's promoted between seasons 3 and 4), it's not clear what her actual role is. Presumably she's now the Chief Engineer of everything that isn't the spore drive, having taken over from either Stamets or another never-seen engineer who'd been performing the functions before her arrival. Star Trek: Picard: Ian is the Emergency Engineering Hologram on La Sirena, and in his introductory scene, he's working on the ship's engines. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: While we know that Scotty will take over as chief engineer of the Enterprise eventually, this prequel series shows us some of his predecessors: Lt. Hemmer, an Aenar (Andorian subspecies) who ran the Enterprise engine room off of pure uncut snark Cmdr. Pelia, a Lanthanite (human-like but near-immortal alien) notable for deducing within seconds not only that the Enterprise crew were planning to steal their docked starship for an unauthorized mission, but how they planned to do it... and then helping them pull it off, because she was bored and it was something to do.

He generally leaves the actual administration of the Colony to his beleaguered lieutenant Yuzet. Of course, Valdi had overseen some decisive victories in combat over rival Colonies Iota and Lambda on the strength of his machines, though none of this was really intentional on Valdi's part; in fact, he doesn't even remember the events himself. The Kevesi Nopon Riku is a very skilled engineer/mechanic who â€“ amongst his many jobs â€“ repairs and maintains Blade weapons, power frames, Levnises and Ferronises, being primarily responsible for Colony 9 before leaving with the party. In Taion's sidestory, he is able to revive an almost completely dead Ferronis and add some additional tweaks for its battle against the Consul's forces, in about thirty minutes. Valdi calls him "Chief" for a reason.

The Engineer / int_9a8bf274	comment	In the Command & Conquer titles, engineers are used to either sabotage/capture enemy structures or instantly repair one's own. In Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, the engineer in fact became the lynchpin of the cheapest tactic in the game. In what essentially becomes a great all-or-nothing game of chicken, if one puts 100% of their resources into making engineers and storms the other base before they have enough time to prepare defenses it is possible to convert the entire enemy base to your own, thus winning instantly and within minutes of starting. Conventional attacks in this early-game phase do not work at all due to buildings having sufficient hitpoints. On the flip side, this can be countered by pouring all your resources into defense, which leaves a deficiency in technology... In Command & Conquer: Renegade's multiplayer, Engineers are indispensable: they can help defend and maintain the base, repair vehicles, and are an essential component in any APC raid on an enemy base. Just try playing a game without making use of them at all. The Aftermath expansion to the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert added Mechanics. While not essential to the maintainance of vehicles — since one of the prerequisite buildings to train mechanics had the purpose of repairing vehicles — they could be useful by both being able to repair units on the front and not draining money while doing so. Given the advantage the Soviet tanks had over Allied units, every little bit helped. Red Alert 3 gives each faction a mechanically separate engineer, though they're all amphibious and used to capture/repair buildings. The Allied Engineer doubles as a field medic, deploying a first-aid tent to regenerate nearby friendly infantry. The Soviet Combat Engineer has a pathetically weak gun and can build a bunker that stores up to 5 infantry. It doesn't require energy like base defenses, but it's still vulnerable to garrison-clearing weapons. The Imperial Engineer is a Salaryman with no defense except speed, able to suddenly sprint away but needing to rest afterwards.

The Engineer / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project kappa show signs of every sort of Engineering, depending on the story in question, from building all the technology for the youkai of the mountain after Subterranean Animism to Nitori's Gadgeteer Genius use of tools like extending arms and Optical Camoflauage. Kappa are the standard Hand Wave explanation for how anything gets built in fanon. A good canon example of this in the realm of Magitek comes from Patchouli Knowledge in Silent Sinner In Blue, who created a working spaceship out of essentially plywood, duct tape, a whole lot of magic charms, and a miko channeling the power of Gods of Voyage for an energy source, as well as a backup thruster in the form of Marisa and her Master Spark. In the PC-98 exclusive games, there were six human characters other than Reimu and Marisa. Of these, four use technology instead of magic, in the land where science is heresy. Rika in Story of Eastern Wonderland builds youkai-powered tanks for battle, and not only manages to destroy the Hakurei Shrine in stage one, she comes back later as the EX Boss. In Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, Rikako is a wannabe Mad Scientist who builds a working jetpack, while Chiyuri and Yumemi are visitors from a world without magic and are here to study it... and rebuild their own technology to imitate it so they can battle the heroines (and Chiyuri is also not above simply pulling a gun on them).

The Engineer / int_a81325d3	comment	Most of incarnations of the character "Cid" in Final Fantasy are engineers, except for VIII (who's a headmaster of a Military Academy) and XIII (who's a commander of La RÃ©sistance). In I, Cid of the Lufaine is a background character known as a legendary scientist who built the first airship. In IV, Cid Pollendina is the inventor and head maintenance guy for Baron's airship fleet and makes various upgrades to the party's airships. Fittingly, his weapon during his stint as a party member is a hammer. He's also a bit of a Parental Substitute for Cecil and Rosa. In V, Cid Previa is the inventor of the crystal amplifiers (something he is not proud of) and refurbishes several vehicles, including an ancient airship, for the party. Cid del Norte Marquez of VI is distinctly darker, as he's the creator of Magitek — something which relies on draining the life-force of sentient magical beings. Like Cid Previa, he repents of this. Cid Bunansa of XII is head of Draklor Laboratory, The Empire's airship/weaponry/nethicite research facility. He is firmly on the antagonist side and has a propensity for pulling oversized war machines out of his pocket to fight the party. Cid nan Garlond, of XIV, is a gifted engineer who joins with Eorzea in their fight against the Garlean Empire. In addition, the Heavensward expansion allows players access to the Machinst class, which lets them fight with a combination of high-tech guns and automated turrets. King Edgar Figaro of VI is also an example of the trope. His mechanical, sand-diving, transforming castle just by itself is an example of how incredibly COOL an Engineer can be.

The Engineer / int_b63ff53e	comment	Deep Rock Galactic: The Engineer is the most straightforward example, being the Gadgeteer Genius-flavored class. This Turret Master can build sentry guns to lock down control of an area, potentially supplemented by proximity mines or reprogrammed Shredder attack drones, but the Engineer also boasts a Platform Gun that fires blobs of "plascrete" that rapidly expand into horizontal discs upon impact with a surface. This allows an Engineer to make ledges high on the cave walls that a Scout can grapple up to in order to mine hard-to-reach minerals, create staircases the team can use to scale cliffs, fire a chain of platforms to make a bridge across a chasm, fill in gaps in the floor or ceiling, block off passages, and so on. The Driller, meanwhile, more closely fits the skillset of a military pioneer or sapper. Every dwarf carries a pickaxe that can destroy terrain, but the Driller sports two large handheld power drills that let him rip through solid rock as fast as he walks. A Driller can make a Dungeon Bypass to the Drop Pod or other hard-to-reach areas, flatten terrain to give his team better firing lines, dig trenches or bunkers, dig out some elbow room around an objective to be defended, and so forth. He also carries high-explosive satchel charges that do immense damage to terrain and enemies... and teammates, if he's not careful. The two remaining classes, the Gunner and Scout, are more focused on combat and movement, respectively, but still carry items that support the team. A Gunner can set up ziplines to reach out-of-the-way places, letting his team quickly descend cliffs or cross chasms in safety (so long as no enemy is spitting acid at them), and in combat can throw down shield generators to provide a temporary safe zone. While every dwarf carries glowsticks for illumination, the Scout has a flare gun capable of lighting up an entire cavern, which can be critical in spotting Cave Leeches on the ceiling. Certain missions demand a degree of mechanical ability from any dwarf assigned, regardless of class. On-Site Refining requires the team to build and maintain pipelines between what is essentially an oil refinery and several pumps, while Salvage missions have the dwarves gathering the parts to rebuild broken equipment, which includes the Drop Pod they use to leave the cave. Additionally, any dwarf can aid an Engineer in building their turrets to get them up quicker. Lastly, all DRG employees are responsible for the maintainence and upgrading of their own equipment, such as by using a futuristic forge to expand the abilities of fully-upgraded weapons even further with overclocks (or just new beard options).

The Engineer / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The Adeptus Mechanicus are a pseudo-scientific/religious order that placates the "machine spirits" of tanks and devices with a mixture of prayer and consecrated engine oil. They are very competent at their jobs despite appearances, however, and even a basic Enginseer usually has a cutting torch and servo-arm that make for one hell of a improvised meltagun. Techmarines are Space Marines with a dual loyalty to both their chapter and the Adeptus Mechanicus, and are charged with maintaining their battle-brothers' equipment. On the tabletop they can repair damaged vehicles and bolster the defences of ruined structures, or since they're just as tough and lethal as their comrades, blast apart the foe with ancient conversion beamers or quad-barreled field artillery. Among the original Space Marine legions, the Imperial Fists and the Iron Warriors are combat engineering specialists, in particular focusing on siege warfare, both in the construction and demolition of fortification as well as in the use of siege weaponry. The Salamanders, however, ascribe to the Promethean Cult and its principles of self-reliance, emulating their primarch's background as a blacksmith. Since all battle-brothers maintain their own equipment, this leaves the chapters' Techmarines free to make technological wonders for the Salamanders' armory. In the Chaos forces, Warpsmiths fill this role. They're basically Techmarines, only evil, and almost to a man they're obsessed with nailing meat, metal and daemonic essence together. The Imperial Guard has Enginseers, Tech-Priests attached to the unit specifically to maintain their equipment. Like Techmarines they can perform battlefield repairs, though they aren't quite as effective in combat as power-armored super soldiers. Among the multitudes of Imperial Guard regiments, this is the hat of the Death Korps of Krieg (aside from suicidal dedication to the Emperor). They're specialists in siege a trench warfare, and expert sappers often called to be the ones to take down or break through enemy fortifications. They're also notoriously skilled at bludgeoning enemies to death with entrenching tools. The Orks have Mekboyz, whose hard-wired mechanical knowledge allows them to construct all manner of smoke-belching vehicles or ramshackle weaponry, from Deff Dreads to Shokk Attack Gunz to Gargants. They may not be able to tell you precisely how their devices function — and indeed, some of their crazier creations may only work because the Meks think they should — but they can get a disabled Battlewagon rolling by whacking it with a hammer and screaming at it. Although they have little-if-any representation in-game, in the background material the Earth Caste fill this role for the Tau. The Farsight Enclaves, isolated from the main Tau colonies and military doctrine, sometimes take the unusual step of putting Earth Caste technicians in their XV-105 Riptide Battlesuits. The Earth Caste pilots are much better at handling the mech's Nova reactor and are more accurate at range thanks to their physics-heavy training, but are even worse at close combat than ordinary Tau.

As it turns out, said armour also helps protect him against undead monsters. What's more, some of his tools prove more useful against the creatures than 'actual' weapons. Take his trusty Plasma Cutter — designed to cut through Starship hulls, it makes short work of mere fleshy, albeit mutated and monstrous, limbs. After being mostly an Informed Ability in the first game, Isaac gets to show off his engineering chops fully in the second game, fashioning a plasma cutter and stasis module out of jury-rigged surgical tools salvaged from a hospital, as well as hacking various machinery during his travel through The Sprawl. In Dead Space 3, Isaac uses his technical know-how to create his own customised weapons from salvaged materials.

He saves the ship by hitting its malfunctioning FTL drive with a wrench, dying from lack of oxygen in the engine room. Chief Galen Tyrol also exemplifies this, particularly "The Mechanic". He spends most of his appearances fixing one thing or another (usually vipers), is very possessive of the vipers, and has an entire crop of newbies to mentor.

The Engineer / int_e7a9c06c	comment	Paperinik New Adventures has a few examples: First of all, the Evronians. As in the entire race: two dimwitted warriors once built a two-man flying saucer capable of flying from Earth to the asteroid belt in hours using nothing more than hammers and scrapped cars, normal soldiers are often seen assembling complex weapons, a group of commandoes improvised a forcefield capable of keeping Xadhoom imprisoned by repurposing their ship's engine (interestingly, they had no idea of how powerful Xadhoom actually was, they just knew that she was really powerful and apparently invulnerable, so they created that forcefield with the intention of letting her inside to starve and die. Then, after being captured and having observed the thing, Xadhoom realized what kind of forcefield they had assembled), and a group of actual engineers (that is, low-ranking members of the scientific caste) once built from scraps a fleet capable of weathering the entire nuclear arsenal of the US in less than a week, with the only Evronians who haven't shown unexpected engineering skills being those members of the scientific caste specializing in other fields. There's a few reasons why it took a Physical Goddess to defeat the Evronians in spite of their initiative troubles, and one of them is their knack with technology. T9, a resistance leader in a race conquered by the Evronians, has shown himself just as good as his conquerors. Justified by him being a robot. Technically-minded Xerbians qualify by virtue of coming from a planet of scientists. Subverted by Paperinik: he knows a fair bit about technology, he's a skilled mechanician, and completely outclassed by the incredibly advanced technology he deals with.

The Engineer / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: B'Elanna Torres is a half-Klingon, former Maquis Engineer who's a genius at working with limited resources and coming up with creative shortcuts. Janeway's original choice for chief engineer is Starfleet Lt. Joe Carey, but B'Elanna is promoted as a way of integrating the Maquis into the ship's crew, but also because she figures out how to solve the problem when they're trapped in a black hole, when Carey can't. Then there's Ensign Harry Kim, fresh out of Starfleet Academy, who's nonetheless quite a gifted Engineer with particular talents for designing technical specifications and holo-technology. Seven of Nine, who, while more of a scientist, is still relied upon to perform mechanical tasks on many occasions. Tom Paris is also rather skilled at Engineering, at least when it comes to propulsion and other flight-related issues. An Ace Pilot who designs his own shuttlecraft kind of has to be a skilled Engineer as well.

Their job is to go into monster-held territory and burn and/or blow up anything that may contain a monster's nest, while scouts and hunters track and kill the actual monsters. Among the main cast, the role is shared between Tuuri and Emil, with Tuuri being the Mechanic, and in charge of maintaining and driving the Cat-Tank, whereas Emil (who is a Cleanser by profession) is the Combat Engineer.
