Fixers

Fixers

Fixers are contract mercenaries that operate throughout the City.

Overview

“ From meaningless errands, to exploration, to contract killing; they will do whatever you wish, so long as you pay them sufficiently. ”

—Lobotomy Corporation (Game)

Fixers act as workers that cover a wide variety of roles in society, working on commission. They often handle lines of work which are considered more dangerous or more specialized than those of average citizens, including direct combat, assassination, or protection, as well as less violent roles such as trading information or enforcing contracts. To some level, they are peacekeepers, being hired to take up jobs more specific to those that hire them. The specialization of Fixers in fields that a majority of citizens do not have allows for them to garner great bounds of attention and popularity.

Despite the belief of Fixers being noble, many of them simply view the job as a way out of the typical work, such as Ishmael boarding The Pequod to obtain a Fixer license as a way to escape what she viewed as a monotonous life in the safety of a Nest, while also finding a quick way to make good money. The job is not without difficulty, however, as many Fixers face immediate dangers and are sometimes made targets of Syndicates, or even other Fixer Offices.

Many Fixers must go through rigorous training or augmentations, meaning the use of peculiar and experimental technology or weapons.

Fixer Ranks

Fixers are ranked by the Hana Association on their ability to accomplish the jobs they are hired for, being a simple system of meritocracy. Fixers can be ranked from 9 to 1, with Grade 9 Fixers being cheap and low-ranked, while Grade 1 Fixers are ones most commonly sought after for dangerous and expensive work. A Fixer can rise through the ranks by taking progressively more difficult jobs.

Color Fixers

In rare cases, a Grade 1 Fixer that demonstrates great renown in any particular field of work may be given a title by the Hana Association which uses a unique color and role as a way to signify their exceptional skill. Vergilius is an example of this, being known as the Red Gaze. Though many people look up to these Color Fixers as aspirational and free, it is many times shown to be as restricting and dangerous as normal Fixer work, handling dangerous cases with the risk of possibly being eliminated due to a failure to do so.

Fixer Offices and Associations

A majority of Fixers congregate in Fixer Offices, small to mid-sized businesses led by and composed of Fixers. Offices process requests dedicated to whomever in their ranks may be best suited. Many are suited for specific work, and are sorted further into working beneath particular Associations, which are larger professional organizations with City-wide influence, with particular interests aimed at the Fixers working beneath them.

These are not the only destinations for Fixers, however. Other careers for Fixers include joining a Workshop, which are businesses which produce Fixer-grade equipment, working directly under a Wing (some examples being the Taboo Hunters of N Corp. or Siegfried of K Corp.), or even working directly under a family, estate, or a single person as a Butler (a personal Fixer who also doubles as a household servant).
