Ain (Ptah)

Ain (Ptah) is an Epic Wind character in Dislyte. Ain (Ptah)'s role is Support. Faction: Wanderer.

On our Dislyte tier list Ain (Ptah) is A tier, 46th of the 179 characters ranked, from where 11 current tier lists put Ain (Ptah).

Ain's specialty is boosting her team's damage even outside their own turns. Force Barrier gives her Standoff protection while shielding her allies, and Maker's Strike chips at an enemy's defense while pulling in a teammate to assist.

Once ascended, keeping Maker's Strike on cooldown while she's still active grants the whole team bonus damage on their attacks, which is the passive value that earns her an A.

Ain: Inspired by the god Ptah, the Gear Master will protect everyone around her with her hand-made equipment.

Most people have never met Ain but have heard of the name Gear Master Ain.

Ain, a wanderer, possesses the power of Ptah.

She is hot-tempered but dedicated to protecting everything around her with handmade weapons.

This is her unique way of showing kindness.

Don't Rush Me! I'm Working on It!: Order 71, repair a mechanical arm.

Order 72, parts modification.

Order 73, robot pet won's kiss people.

... What kind of nonsense order is this?

"Ain, that rush order..."

"Nag me again and I'll turn you into a robot pet!"

Careers

Career 1 / Fury Unleashed: Everyone at the gear center and the mechanics' market has heard of Gear Master Ain.

It is common knowledge that Ain produces only the finest quality gear on this side of Grandis.

Anyone who's used her crafted equipment can attest to that fact.

Ain's buyers are extremely patient, not just because crafting her specialized equipment takes time, but because they know the dire consequences of irritating her.

They not only fear being yelled at, but Ain may also delay finishing their custom orders.

Once Ain's in the zone, she's unstoppable.

No one dares to interrupt her work lest they feel the wrath of her trusty wrench.

Despite her gruff demeanor, customers keep coming back to Ain for her genius mechanical skills.

There's no equipment too challenging for her to create as long as she has the necessary parts.

Career 2 / The soft side of Ain: "Survival depends on seizing resources." This was the first lesson Ain learned in the slums.

Growing up in such a harsh environment, she became obsessed with money.

Through tinkering, she could turn simple junk into practical gear.

Meanwhile, years of bargaining taught her how to acquire materials for the lowest price, using them to create high-quality equipment that she could then sell for a profit.

When it came to those in need, however, Ain refused to charge them anything.

Instead, she patiently solved whatever issue they had.

Whether it was making metal prosthetics for a cat with a broken leg, crafting portable crutches for an elderly person, or even creating mechanical toys for orphans in the slums, these acts of kindness were unique to Ain.

The person who discovered Ain's softer side was none other than Sidon, the teacher who took her in.

Career 3 / Mutual redemption.: At the age of eight, Ain was caught causing a commotion and stealing food with her self-made weapon by one of Sidon's mechanical nets.

Sidon immediately recognized her talent and interest in mechanics, so he took Ain under his wing as an apprentice.

With Sidon's guidance, she not only gained a deep understanding of engineering but also discovered the good in people.

Ain learned that fighting for resources wasn't the only way to survive in the slums and that helping and supporting one another was just as crucial.

When Sidon fell into a deep depression after losing his family and decided to end his life with a bomb, it was Ain who reached out and pulled her mentor out of the depths of despair.

She had come to see Sidon as an indispensable member of her own family.

From that day forward, Ain became a pillar of emotional support for Sidon.

Career 4: Protecting the surrounding people.

Following the incident, Ain and Sidon relocated to a new area to begin anew.

Ain continued to bargain with vendors in the marketplace, craft gear for customers, and research new types of equipment, just as she had done before.

There was one significant difference - she no longer did it for a living.

"Weapons aren't made just for destruction.

They can also be utilized for protection.

When you create gear for others, you can truly unlock their full potential."

Ain now fully understands Sidon's teachings, and she will continue to create gear to safeguard the people she cares about.

The Thief

BACKYARD

AIN: What happened to that piece of iron and copper wire I put here yesterday…?

Ain. Ptah. Engineer

AIN: I know I put it here… Weird.

After a few days, Ain's parts and tools go missing again.

AIN: Must be a thief!

Oh, you think you can steal from me?! I'll show you…

This guy thinks he can come and take whatever he wants… He'll probably be back.

Ain makes a booby trap.

AIN: Heh heh… Try to steal from me now!

I'll teach him a lesson he won't ever forget!

That night, AIn's trap catches the thief.

In the net, a small girl stares at Ain in bewilderment.

AIN: So, you're the one that's been stealing my stuff?

LITTLE GIRL

AIN: What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?

AIN: This… This… This part here… You took all of these, right?

Ain places the parts and tools in front of the girl.

The girl actually seems happy, and stuffs them in her bag.

AIN

The girl just keeps staring at Ain. She points to her own ears and then waves her hand.

Ain writes down her words on a piece of paper.

The girl reads it and nods.

Ain and the girl start having a conversation through her notebook.

AIN: "Why did you steal my parts?"

LITTLE GIRL: "The door was open. I thought this was a junkyard.

I thought you were here to throw things away too."

AIN: " I'm Ain! This is my warehouse! This isn't a junkyard!"

"These parts aren't trash either! These are important tools!

I spent a lot of time collecting them!"

Seeing the poor girl's reaction, Ain releases the net.

AIN: "Get outta here! Don't let me catch you here again!"

After a few days, the girl returns with a bag and hands it to Ain.

Then the girl stuffs some banknotes into Ain's hand.

Seeing the girl turn around and about to leave, Ain stops her.

Ain takes out a pen and starts writing.

AIN: "Where is your family? How come you're out here all alone?"

LITTLE GIRL: "I have no family."

"Last year, my parents died in an incident, and my ears were blown deaf."

AIN: ...

"So you came to my warehouse to steal things to sell?"

LITTLE GIRL: "Sorry, I really didn't know this was your warehouse…"

AIN: "Okay, fine, I forgive you."

"Do you live near here?"

The girl nods, and then draws the route to her house.

AIN: "I don't want to know where you live."

"I just wanna tell you that this area isn't safe.

You shouldn't look for junk around here."

The girl nods, and waves goodbye to Ain.

The next day…

SLUMS

Ain shows up at the girl's house early the next morning.

Ain takes out all kinds of tools from her bag.

The girl looks at Ain in confusion.

AIN: Just so we're clear… I'm not pitying you.

I just wanted to test out my new hearing aid… And you're a good test subject is all.

AIN: You'll be able to hear again in a little bit.

After taking measurements, Ain quickly completes the hearing aid,and puts it on the girl's ears.

LITTLE GIRL: Alright!

Thank you, big sis Ain!

Seeing the girl so happy at recovering her hearing, Ain lets out a smile.

Table endThe Thief • The Apprentice • Ain's New Pet • "The Outlaw"

Ain is busy cleaning an engine, when suddenly she hears a knock.

A girl stands in the doorway. Her eyes full of anticipation and determination.

GIRL: Master Ain, please take me under your wing!

AIN: I already told you, I don't take trainees.

GIRL: But I love machines! I wanna be a great machinist just like you!

AIN: Creating machines isn't all fun and games.

You need a good foundation and incredible patience.

You also need to be really good with your hands.

GIRL: I know I can do it! I'll learn everything from the bottom!

Looking at how badly the girl wants this, Ain reluctantly shakes her head.

AIN: ... Fine, we'll try it, but no promises!

GIRL: Thank you Master Ain! I won't let you down!

AIN: Just stay quiet and follow my lead.

Listen, learn, and do. Got it?

GIRL

The girl jumps up and down with excitement, and accidentally knocks a part to the ground.

She bends down to pick it up at the same time as Ain.

They bump heads and then she steps on the part.

*CRACK*!

AIN: My part!

Ugh… You! This was a very important part!

You're here to learn, not to get in my way!

AIN: Forget it… Clean up here. Later I'll teach you how to tell the difference between these parts.

Listen and learn… And don't break any more parts!

GIRL: Got it! I'll be more careful.

That day, Ain taught the girl many things about machines.

AIN: Now answer me this: What's the principle behind this device?

AIN: Bah! Maybe if you want it to break!

GIRL: Hehe… I just thought maybe it could work that too.

AIN: Stop giggling. Next, try putting these two parts together.

GIRL: Okay, this I know.

Huh? Why won't they go together?

Hmm… No… I think there's a crack.

After a week of studying, the girl has made absolutely no progress…

If it's not breaking parts, it's assembling things wrong.

Even basic maintenance seems too hard for her.

Looking at another broken part…Ain feels her blood pressure rising.

AIN: My patience has limits. If you break another part today, I'm kicking you out.

GIRL: Master Ain, I promise I'll get it right today!

MECHANICAL BEEPS: "Ding Ding! You have a new repair request!"

Ain opens the package from the client, and takes out the device that requires repair.

AIN: Lemme see… This part here is broken… Need to replace it.

But we just ran out of this model. The next shipment isn't for another week…

GIRL: Master Ain! Can we use this model to replace it?

AIN: No, it might short circuit.

GIRL: What if we connect these two parts, and change their pathway?

As the girl draws a blueprint, Ain looks at the girl's rough hands and gets an idea.

AIN: Wait… It might just work! Lemme see.

Ten minutes later…

AIN: Yes! In fact, after using your new pathway idea, this device actually works better than before!

GIRL: So… I'm not kicked out? Heh heh…

AIN: Well… You are pretty terrible around machines but…

Perhaps you'll excel when it comes to creativity and designing.

Starting tomorrow, I'll prepare some new lessons for you.

Hope you're ready!

Ain's New Pet

NEAR AIN'S HOUSE

Ain spots a curled up furball near the home.

AIN: A kitty… So dirty… Looks like its leg is injured too…

SMALL ORANGE CAT

AIN: Poor thing. You wanna go home with me?

After taking the cat home, Ain builds it a mechanical cat house.

AIN: Welcome to your new home.

You're so cute… I know, we'll call you Wrench!

WRENCH

AIN: I built you a cast for your leg. Stay still.

Okay all set! Don't run around, let it heal.

Wrench's leg has healed. She spends her days lounging around the warehouse.

To prevent Wrench from getting lost, Ain placed a GPS collar on her.

Wrench decided today was a good day to go for a stroll.

Ain followed the signal to the Central District.

CENTRAL DISTRICT

AIN: Why did you run this far?

Wrench purrs softly, eyeing the canned tuna in a store window.

Ain sighs and enters the pet store. Wrench meows loudly when they get to the canned cat food section.

AIN: Canned fish meat… Wow, this stuff is expensive!

But if Wrench likes it…

Good taste Wrench… You're just like me… Only the good stuff!

AIN: Okay, now you got your treat. No more running away!

Ain gets ready to return home along with Wrench when she notices a poster on a telephone pole nearby.

AIN: Missing Cat?

Looks just like Wrench…

Ain gets a closer look, and realizes that the missing cat is Wrench.

The time the cat went missing was also the same as when she found Wrench…

So you aren't a stray, huh?

AIN: No, it can't be that much of a coincidence.

Ain takes Wrench home. After a few days, Wrench runs away again.

Following the GPS signal, Ain once again returns to the Pet Market.

She sees Wrench standing in front of the Missing Cat poster meowing to it.

AIN: Wrench… Are you looking for your previous owner?

AIN: Is this girl on the poster your owner?

Being torn on what to do, Ain finally decides to contact the girl on the poster, Kaylee.

KAYLEE: My poor little Chili! Where'd you go?!

I've been looking everywhere for you!

Kaylee. Anuket. Newly Promoted Union Ops Chief

KAYLEE: Are you the person who found Chili?

Thank you soooo much!

AIN: I found her in the bushes near my warehouse… She was injured, but I took care of it.

KAYLEE: How can I ever repay you? I'll definitely pay you back for taking care of Chili!

AIN: … It was my own choice to take care of her… Didn't cost anything.

KAYLEE: Really? That's so generous!

AIN: Hmph, if Wren… Chili wasn't so cute, I'd charge you!

Chili loves to run around everywhere. As her owner, you should watch her better.

KAYLEE: Sorry, I must've forgot to close the window last time, and she ran out.

I'll definitely be more careful next time!

AIN: Here, Chili likes this brand of canned food.

Buy more for her next time.
