Ian became super protective of his fellow crew members following the trauma that befell him, but he also grew into a very stubbornly independent person. He wanted to make sure through himself, magic, and/or technology, he would never require outside help at least when it came to his typical daily routine(s). Ian has designed/built everything from removal aids, interchangeable armor/hands to a chair that can be used to get EVERYWHERE and even fight!

This spider chair is one of his best inventions with help from Eldoron and the steam island, skystone tech he is more familiar with.

Random fun facts about Ian’s mobility chair!!

1) It can be powered either manually with limited functionality or via a mental link through the crystal Ian had implanted in the back of his skull to create more natural/faster prosthetic movements. This link allows for total control of the claw legs!

2) The chair has 3 ways of getting around, via a set of wheels that extend down and out, magnetizing to the floor in order to brake/lock in place, via 4 mechanical legs with bladed ends that can get over rough terrain, walls, and even ceilings, or both.

3) There are 2 pairs of wheels, first bottommost pair push the chair forward while the other two drop down spinning in the opposite directions of each other to turn the chair changing direction.

Note: The diagram of the wheels show general idea of appearance vs. exact functionality or mechanical accuracy……I want to create a working 3D render and animate it to better showcase everthing

4) The machinery that allows for locomotion and chair swiveling are covered by copper/brass like alloy and a series of thick tubes that fill with steam/air pressure providing power and precision to the extension and use of the spider legs. They expand squeezing the legs up/out/down/hold them in their current position in space

5) Rajin is made from alien material that is attracted to itself when activated which makes it self healing with help. The ends to the chair’s legs are made from this same material meaning with the right enchantments and timing, they can temporarily melt and bond with the the ship’s interior. Allowing Ian to crawl into impossible spots for repairs or just because.

6) Outside the ship however, the claws have to be protected from and infused with the magic contained inside elemental gems (ie fire, ice, and earth). The claw legs can than react to any rock, vegetation, meltable object, and hard surface to make the claws immobile to the same effect as within Rajin for climbing.
