Question on the Research stat. And stats in general. Are there tiers for them to show your skill with them? Like, do you need a certain level of research to build something?

A Riot Quest is a bit like a normal Quest, in that you vote for what you want to have happen. Unlike a regular Quest, everything that gets voted for gets done. I just give each player a chance for a bit of individuality so I have some more interesting characters to write come the update.
@DarkKing98
Skill levels are a bit abstract; they don't really correspond much to real life. I can confirm, however, that any character can take part in and potentially succeed at (almost) any action. It's just that skill levels help determine how much you contribute.

Ah! So, if I were to help build a robot army I Would help with the design and construction, where as with operations I'd pretty much be left out completely?

Player: @Ylamona
Name: Xilla Nata Fernia Eon or XNFE.
Description:
XNFE is a pink haired pale young(-looking) girl that almost always seen wearing an oversized black hoodie. On her head are two metallic accessories shaped like bunny ears and her arms are two unusual metallic contraptions which have three-pronged claws on each end. Despite called a mad scientist, she preferred more on-the-field job or laze around than doing actual science. In the end, she simply a carefree girl with slightly flexible morals who want to have fun.
Backstory: A former assistant of many other mad scientists, XNFE was not particularly bright at sciency-stuff nor have any ambition that could be called mad. She simply enjoyed working under a mad scientist since she could just laze around and enjoying easy pay. Her employer too engrossed on their works after all, not to mention the antics they got into quite amusing for XNFE to watch. She already worked under many mad scientist and quit when it become too dangerous, or the situation no fun enough, or when she couldn't laze around as much. However, one incident later involving blackjack, a spoon, and toilet, causing her to lost her arms and her latest employer. Cobbling together her first invention from various bits left around, she manged to create her first invention, the Pandora Orb. Quickly using it to integrate a new pair of mechanical arms, she left to wander around the world finding another mad scientist that amusing enough to be with.
Skill Levels:
Research 2
Operations 1
Espionage 1
Combat 3
Starting Inventions: Pandora orb, symbiotic device that bond with someone and integrate technology (mainly machines) to it's host. The result of integration always adapted to host so to avoid complication and generally benefit it's host. Pandora's and integrated technology effectiveness increase the longer it bonded with it's host.
Something like this?

Yeah, I mean assets. Though then again we are mad scientist so a building should be enough to create our doom baze.
Also I just realized I lacked any dexterous finger..

Character Submission: Professor Wheatley Dunwich (rolling-the-dice)
- Location
- Somewhere
Player: @rolling-the-dice
Name: Professor Wheatley Dunwich
Description: Professor Dunwich is a tall, gaunt man with thinning dark hair and a short beard. He wears round glasses and has large, protruding, dark eyes. He is always seen wearing a brown suit and has a very formal manner. Many people find his gaze uncomfortable. He is in his late forties. He is somewhat twitchy.
Backstory: Professor Wheatley Dunwich, a New England native, is a biologist and archaeologist who claims to have found Lovecraftian beings in his hometown in New England. Although he has yet to find anything convincing anyone else of their existence, he fervently believes in the supernatural and the existence of magic. However, he has also always insisted on trying to find explanations for how the supernatural operates. Unfortunately, he has yet to make any breakthroughs, so he has yet to present any major inventions or discoveries to other mad scientists, although he has been careful to keep his fellow scientists updated. He is currently taking a break from his teaching work at university so he can focus more on his research. He has devoted his life to research; he has few friends, and is very distant from what little family he has. He often focuses on field research, but has a rather cautious approach to it.
Skill Levels:
Research: 4
Operations: 1
Espionage: 2
Combat: 0
Starting Inventions:
I'll go with these blueprints.

Huh, I almost forgot that we planned to save the world (before we conquer it of course).
Also my goal for now is to create City Eater or Black Trike. Because It's Cool.
Or upgrading Pandora Orbs into 300-class Valkyrie Core
