Meet The Assessor Keeper

Keeper Friends,

Introducing an upcoming new addition to your Keeper options, The Assessor. Their distinctive helmet and protective cloak provide more than good fashion. Each is part of the cutting-edge technology the Assessor employs for elegant operations. They don’t need to get their hands dirty, there are far more advanced ways to perform the work.



An experimental energy field generator developed by the science branch of the Keepers Guild provides their power. Able to bend the very gravity around them, the Assessor effortlessly glides through the world around them without the need for a cumbersome jetpack.

That energy holds mining applications as well. Focused into a powerful orb, it packs the ability to tear apart rocks. By launching the orb, its force becomes unstable and grows more powerful, ripping apart the surfaces it hits. Each rapid impact amplifies the effect, enabling rapid excavation in tight spaces.

To collect resources the Assessor reverses the polarity, using the field to draw free ores up for carrying. Not that they must be taken all the way to the Dome manually. A skilled Assessor uses the projection capabilities to fire resources back into the Dome without needing to go all the way there.

All in a day’s work for the Assessor, who is ready to get back to some welcome rest with their loyal companion the Seahorse.
