Mr. Fixit: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* Presea {{spoiler|and in the anime, her [[Backup Twin]] Sierra}} from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''.

* Wapourif from ''[[Simoun]]''.

* Yuusei Fudo from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' grew up in the slums of Satellite, but that didn't stop him from teaching himself mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to the point where he could build his own D-Wheel from the scrap and spare parts tossed away by the people of New Domino... Twice. ( {{spoiler|thrice if you've watched the Japanese version}}) He also made a Duel Board (a skateboard with D-wheel capabilities) just by ''hearing about it'' from Rua...''''in one night''''!

** Also Bruno, who on his first appearance managed to increase the power of the guys' D-Wheels where Yuusei couldn't.

* Franky from [[One Piece]]. Usopp as well, especially before Franky joined the crew.

* Winry, from [[Fullmetal Alchemist]], shows the ability to fix most mechanical gadgets and break open locks (sealed with alchemy!) in addition to being a master of fixing automail.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* Nockers from ''[[Changeling: The Dreaming]]''. They've go a knack for all things mechanical, and can fix broken machines by giving them a [[Percussive Maintenance|good hard thump]] or scowling and telling them off.

** Some of the character types from other [[Old World of Darkness|World of Darkness]] settings were also a dab hand at smash repairs, including Sons of Ether from ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]'' (who think they're doing Science rather than magic) and Glasswalkers from ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]] '' (who could talk to the spirits of machines).

** In ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', the Wizened often take on this role. They have access to [[Functional Magic|Contracts]] that allow them to make a hovercraft out of a lawnmower and an inner tube.

* In [[Traveller]] Sword Worlders have a great admiration for this. They make machines specifically to make them easy for a [[Determined Homesteader]] to tinker with.

Line 83:

* Lucca in ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', as she single-handedly fixes a robot made with distant future technology the first time she sees it.

* The [[Wing Commander (video game)|Wing Commander]] games have a long series of Mr Fixits, in the form of the various crew chiefs that keep your fighter flying sometimes via the combined magics of [[Duck Tape]] and strong language. Nicknames for these folks include "Sparks" and "Pliers".

* Jeff from [[~~Earthbound~~]], all you needed was a place to sleep for the night and he could turn your Broken Iron into a Slime Generater.

* Jeff from [[EarthBound]], all you needed was a place to sleep for the night and he could turn your Broken Iron into a Slime Generater.

* [[Homeworld]] is one of the worst offenders regarding this trope. Within minutes of encountering an enemy vessel you've never seen before, you are informed that your own research team is ready to build an identical ship. Even when the ship in question is a millions-year old [[Precursor]] machine that's been lost to time, your trusty Hiigaran scientists can quickly devise countermeasures to them and even reverse-engineer them to produce copies.

* "Mr. Fixit" from ''Constructor'' is an inversion: he's a cowboy builder who the player can send to sabotage the opposition's houses by "repairing" the [[Kill It with Water|plumbing]], [[Shock and Awe|electrics]] or [[Made of Explodium|gas]].

Line 106:

* Fixit from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]''. Not only can he fix anything, but he chose the name "Fixit" for himself.

* Mr. Fixit the Fox from ''[[The Busy World of Richard Scarry]]''.

* Tracy, the gorilla from ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters]]''.

* Wildcat from ''[[Tale Spin]]''.
