Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations:
Nate Lee was a young boy when learning the art of creation. By the age of Five his father had taught him to make a simple birdhouse out of wood. Then at age 9 his older brother (Age 28, Job as a theoretical Scientist) Had taught him how make a basic pair of binoculars out of things such as cans and even wood, Just to use to spy on girls. By the age of 14 he learned to build a basic computer, Learning from the internet. And at age 17 his father (A car mechanic at the time) had taught him many things about fixing and even building Cars. When Nate had turned 21, Still captivated in Mechanics, Had gotten a job as an on duty Mechanic on Camp Pendleton Military Base, CA. There he learned, aside from his regular duties, to repair and just the base of creating weaponry from the On base Mechanical operations soldiers. (Creating weaponry and repairing, not all functional and not asking for flags.) From being fired from his job on base for coming into work drunk, at age 23 Nate had taken over his Father's business in Vehicle repair. At age 26 Nate's father passed away from lung cancer, since then Nate had found the only way he could remember the feeling of being with his father was through building. Nate had then lived in the same town for a couple years until the unfortunate attack of the Combine. Since then he has been in the outer area's of City 45. He has made many contraptions, including an Air purifier during the Major heatwave in City 45, A simple Hearing device used to hear at longer ranges (which broke shortly after), An enhanced pair of two radio's that provided video as well as audio calls, and A personal Portable computer fit into a suitcase. He had also repaired a numerous amount of machines including A simple air conditioning unit, the repair of a damaged pistol belonging to one of his allies, and a broken engine of an alliance Jalopy. And through his travels Nate has met others who have helped him learn along the way. And currently Nate takes refuge in the bunker, inhabited by the alliance, helping out with what he knows.

Detailed Creation Stories

Air Purifier: On the day of the massive heat wave in C45, Nate Lee had stayed inside to avoid the heat, but the cool air inside the building was running short. So he had an idea of creating an A/C unit, which didn't work because it had over-heated. So instead of doing it himself he turned to a friend, whom was knowledgeable in many sciences, to help him create a contraption of that would purify the air and water, making the heatwave a bit more bearable. Nate himself didn't know the science within the project but was given details from his friend on how it would work and how it would need to be setup. So, during the time of the heatwave, Nate had gone outside in short trips, trying not to feint from the heat, to gather various materials from the small canal in D6. After hours of gathering, he constructed a numerous set of pipes, pumps, and all sorts of mechanisms, following what his friend had told him to do. And then after the construction was complete, they turned on the machine and had created a less air polluted area to be in, while bearing the heatwave.
Hearing Device: In the outer area of City 45, Nate had been watching an OTA squad with his friend Dave Modern. They had no knowledge of where the squad was headed and where they were going to look for refugees. So after many minutes of brainstorming Nate had thought of a contraption acting as an amplified Microphone in which would be attached to small speakers, that way wherever they had pointed the device, they could hear from a great distance. So Nate and Dave had scavenged for parts to make this device for around three hours. They had used various things such as broken radios, and other electronics. After 2 hours of building the device was done, but the OTA were gone. So instead Nate tested it on a group of refugees in the distance, and shortly after use the device had broken and had become useless.
Enhanced Radio: After the failure of his listening device, Nate had constructed another plan in order to get information. Instead of using just a radio to communicate, Nate had thought of a plan to make a radio that would also provide Video as well as audio, that way he could see as well as hear what the person was talking about. So after hours of tinkering with his handheld radio, Nate had figured out he still needed a stronger receiver for the radio, and a small enough screen to fit on it. It had taken days to search for this one part (technically two, for the other radio), and had made Nate furious, but on one day of searching Nate was lucky to find an intact Cellular Phone. He had taken the screen and receiver from the phone and had implemented them into the radio. After days searching for another phone, he had made the second radio. He then tested them finding of that they worked great, but had lost them on his journey into the mountains.

I live about 15 minutes from Pendleton lol.

On topic; you may want to specify some example of what he's worked on / made, and what he possesses the ability to make.

[BltElite]

Can you put some more in depth stuff into the backstory, and what brandon has said, please?

[shrimp]

Edited*

[Veran120]

Hmph, I feel like defects are not adequate in power to benefits. Social skills dropped and slightly chance that contraption may not work is not a big price for such knowledge.

Pending for now, from me.

[Tyler]

As long as he roleplays the finding of the items to create such contrations, and throughly roleplays the creation, along with defects and such- I support.

[shrimp]

*Edited, Added Two more defects that were not addressed.

[garry :D]

Some of the things in your backstory are lacking depth in how they were actually built and information is sparse in relation to the materials used.

For example, you mentioned that your character created a water and air purifier - a device which requires special filters and chemical substances to create cancellation reactions with H2O and O2 respectively. I personally think more backstory is required as to how you acquired the construction materials before I offer my support.

[raiden]

Bumping this.

[shrimp]

Bumping this.

Thank you.

[Tyler]

By all means, please do expand on the creation of the three contraptions listed in your backstory. Once that's done, As long as no one feels negative about this,  it will be judged.

[shrimp]

Edit* Added creation stories.

[wag1]

I'm in complete support of Ninja.

[kronik]

Judging by the support you've already received, I have no problem accepting this.  Your backstory was great, and I like how you included the making of each contraption.  You put effort into this, which also makes me feel better about it.  Good work, accepted.
