Someone promised a golden prize in the invitation letter, but what truly attracted Tracy was the secret gadgets in the manor. A mechanic needs inspiration as well as money!

Tracy Reznik, also known as the Mechanic, is a Decode-Type and Difficulty 2 Survivor available for purchase after completion of the prologue. She is one of 43 playable Survivors added to Identity V.

Curiosity is what spurs progress.

—Tracy Reznik (Deduction Quest No. 7)

Appearance

Tracy is a small, petite doll with pale skin, short, golden hair with curled bangs framing her face, thin, arched golden eyebrows, and dark grey button eyes cross-stitched with grey thread. Three small black streaks are visible under both of her eyes.

She wears a dull orange jumpsuit with multiple pockets and rolled-up sleeves at the elbows and knees over a white turtleneck, a thick leather belt with a white rag tucked into the left side, and leather ankle boots. She also wears fingerless leather gloves, and a pair of brass goggles hang around her neck. A leather aviator cap and goggles cover her head. Tears are visible in her right forearm and left leg, showing cotton stuffing. She holds a silver controller with a red lever and antennae in her right hand.

Gameplay

The Mechanic is a decode-type Survivor who is relatively fast at decoding as long as none of her teammates are injured, in which case her decoding and gate-opening speed will be drastically reduced. She starts each game with a Controller which summons and controls a doll that can perform any Survivor action. She will see from the perspective of her doll, and is immobile while controlling it. The Controller's durability can deplete and run out, and the doll will be downed if hit once by the Hunter. It can be hit a maximum of two times by default. As a downside, her vaulting speed is significantly reduced.

External Traits

Below is a list of Mechanic's intrinsic traits. For more in-depth information, please check the individual pages.

External Traits
Trait Description
Operator
Operator
Carries around a life-size doll, which can be destroyed with a single strike.

Mechanic's Doll: Mechanic's Doll's Cipher Machine decoding speed is reduced by 10%. When the Mechanic's doll is being controlled, or when it's not being controlled but is decoding a cipher machine, its durability will deplete.

Exclusive: Her love for the doll reduces its depletion speed by 33%. The Mechanic can control the deployed doll when incapacitated or when placed on a Rocket Chair, but at a higher cost. Control will be interrupted if the Mechanic is rescued.

Fragile

Her proficiency in machinery and various mechanical traps increases her Cipher Machine decoding speed by 10%. When she is operating a Doll, the Doll's decoding speed is also increased by 10%.
Cowardly
Cowardly
Years of indoor work have exacerbated the Mechanic's timidity. The Mechanic becomes scared when a teammate is wounded or placed on a Rocket Chair; therefore, her decoding speed is decreased by 35% and her gate opening speed is decreased by 15%. This effect can be stacked up to 2 times.

Concept / Design Notes[6]

Design Notes

MechanicDesignNotesRBCN

A character who is proficient in mechanical manufacturing skills. At first, she was given two images in two directions. One is a little girl who likes to play with small machines, and the other is a capable repairer. When it is difficult to choose between the two options, the team votes the former is used as the skin design for the latter, and from this time on, I have a preliminary positioning for the future fashion planning. The basic character modeling is still mainly simple, and more fancy elements are used in the fashion design.

MechanicEarlyDesignsRBCN

Early designs of Mechanic from the Official Chinese Art Book, 4th would be used for her finalized design and 7th got modified into her beta design.
