Hal

Hal Hoover is a core ally present in the second Act of The Rift Maker. A gifted tech specialist, Hal offers aid to his best friend Fragaria as her reliable "guy in the chair." His proficiency over machines and technology comes to a head in the form of his custom-built RC attack drone, to which he controls and maneuvers with a complete mastery of.
== History ==
Hal is a technologically gifted young man and Fragaria's closest friend. From a young age, Hal would fall deep into his studies concerning robotics and coding. Though one might expect a tech whiz such as himself to pursue a higher education, Hal is comfortable in his current environment, where he's able to take his mind off the monotony of schooling with clever jokes and practical pranks. Hal is very confident in himself, and has a bit of a habit of making that fact known. Of course, he knows when to be humble and never expresses genuine elitism. He is very short.
== Abilities ==
Hal, unlike his peers, has not had the opportunity to gain a Potential ability. However, his unique skillset more than makes up for this shortcoming.
=== Intelligence ===
Hal is incredibly knowledgeable, especially concerning topics that are relevant to his field of study. Resourceful and pragmatic to a fault, Hal will utilize any shortcut or opening in any way he can in order to gain the advantage in a battle.
=== Dave ===
Hal's mastery over robotics is on full display in his custom remote control drone, affectionately referred to as Dave. Dave is more than a simple school project; it is equipped with a small cannon that fires BB rounds (though Hal can replace the BB rounds with live rounds if he ever wants to go ballistic) and is armed with small incendiary bombs that can be dropped at will (Hal is very familiar with the black market). It's also equipped with a 360° camera that allows Hal to view the general surroundings of the drone through a monitor. As for actually maneuvering the machine, Hal has spent a LOT of time in the lab in order to optimally control Dave to the fullest extent. While Dave is an incredibly sophistocated machine, it isn't invincible. Though Hal is able to stay out of harm's way by deploying the drone, dispatching it completely removes his ability to assist in a fight (it also burns a hole through his wallet with the cost for repairs).
