Initiates to the Chronologist guild are typically individuals employed by a Chronologist to complete their current mission. Should this hired help prove capable, the guild member will continue their training on the metronome network.
Junior Tuner Tradesperson 2
Junior Tuners are the diligent lifeblood of the Chronologists Guild, blending careful order and teamwork, curious intellect and precision, and resourceful adaptability. These initiates are reliable assistants, always striving to master their craft and harmonize with their team.
Clad in standard grey fatigues marked with ritual diagrams and utility stains, a Junior Tuner keeps tools sorted, protocols memorized, and notes meticulous. When approaching a malfunctioning Metronome or diagnosing a temporal blip, they methodically record each step and prefer collaborative troubleshooting with their seniors—never satisfied until every detail is understood and every teammate’s strengths are respected.
In the Guild hall, their devotion shines in the rituals: helping establish order in chaotic situations, offering words of encouragement, and always prioritizing the safety and cohesion of the crew. It appears in their insatiable curiosity, constant note-taking, and eagerness to discuss novel solutions to technical problems or debate arcane theory. When a crisis hits in the field, their devotion emerges—they improvise, repurpose tools, and adapt older protocols to new temporal anomalies, embodying resilience and practical wisdom.
Junior Tuners can be anxious when responsibilities shift fast, but they’re rarely flustered for long. They seek mentoring and enjoy being part of a learning circle; telling stories of recovered systems, repaired anomalies, or group triumphs always lifts their spirits. Their Watchful Monitor drone is not just a surveillance tool, but a symbol of their commitment to shared vigilance and ongoing growth.
