I don't want to discourage you from using Forge, Ace, but I do want to let you know that my third character is also an inventor and heavily into mechanical engineering.  However, that is very much a hobby for him, and has nothing to do with his actual powers.<br/><br/>I think it would be interesting to have Forge, who largely works on intuition, working alongside my character, who works off a very scientific understanding.  There would be<em>plenty</em>for both of them to do, so I really think it would be cool if you went with Forge, but I just wanted to let you know ahead of time.  Again, Rhys' powers have nothing to do with his mechanical engineering or inventions, so Forge would still be unique in the powers department.
