[A longtime employee of Daybreak Academy, Manfred Vaeris had more than once seen the lavish feasts that the chef would put out for students and staff alike. But this time, it felt like this was even greater, bigger than ever. And that suited him, and his team, just fine. Though not part of the teaching staff, Manfred watched the students, teachers and others mingled together. A sample of various foods on his plate and a glass of Ambrosia he was carefully sipping at over time.
He did wear his flight jacket, emblazoned with both his own squadron patch, a Daybreak Academy patch, and his own personal one, featuring a spooky, sword wielding phantom over the word "Specter."
If you're nearby, he's probably been talking to you, and if not, he certainly is now.]
Sure is a lot of new blood around here. That's good though. More of a fighting chance... and a lot more new food. Did you try that stuff from Celestia? Heavenly. ...No pun intended.
[It absolutely was intended.]
[C]
[Though he himself wasn't the most talented mage or artificer at the Academy by a long shot, what Manfred was, however, was their most talented pilot of aircraft, both mundane and rune-enhanced. As such, he found himself being a pretty seasoned expert on practical matters associated with those topics. This included aircraft and vehicle design, armament design, and even other physics and magical-physics related matters toward runic engineering. As such, he made for a decent person to talk to about practical matter and practical use cases in the field.
For now, he's willing to engage in discussion with anyone about whatever designs or ideas they might have, student or otherwise. Or heck, if you want to ask an ace pilot what it's like to fly, or whatever you'd like on a matter of profession.
Alternatively, he might approach you if you're up to something interesting.]
Hey, that sounds promising. Tell me more about that.
[Wildcard]
[A fixture of the Academy at this point, Manfred can be found virtually everywhere barring classrooms. Odds are, if you were ever on a mission that included Rune Wing support, there was a chance he was either one of your dropship pilots or your escort fighter pilot. You've probably seen him around more than once. He's also pretty well known as the adopted father of Celia, despite not even being thirty yet. Maybe you met him through her too. Either way, if you need him or chance across him on campus and have something in mind, this is the place for it.]
