WIP Opinions needed - Dominic *Last name removed*

[MrDemonic]

Hey there,

Finally thought about my creative reward that I would like to submit to RimWorld, though I would like some opinions and clarification first. I know my paragraphs are about 70 plus word each but they are just WIPs right now. Will definitely be cutting them down to around 55-60 if that's allowed.

Just wanted to know one thing though. My character is very focused on technology. Being able to tweak, research and possibly invent. This is why I wanted to double check what crafting would be used for. Is Crafting used for creating general items? Or is it focused on technological items? Because that could alter some of my skill modifiers depending on the answer I get.

The short version of my character/backstory is that Dominic is a socially awkward person who is amazing in the fields of technology. He does wild experiments just to see if he will create something useful, fun or useless. He has a lot of anxiety which stops him socialising properly but he is a kind and caring person at heart. Does my childhood and adulthood back stories reflect that? Was finding it a tad hard with the word limit.

Of course my character will have all relevant work disabled applied as we'll. it's just hard to figure out what they do without them having propel descriptions. Also if what I'm doing with the skill modifiers are wrong then please point it out. I'm still trying to fully understand them from the Guidelines page.
So please let me know your opinions. These are WIP so please excuse any spelling or grammar errors. They will be fixed before submission.

Name: Dominic *Last name removed*
Nickname: *Last name removed* or Dom
Sex: Male

Title: Urb World Techy
As a child and teenager, Dominic never had the voice to stand up for him. He would favour keeping others happy at his expense if that made his life easier. Avoiding confrontations as if it was a deadly virus. His interest in technology is what kept him going. Favouring microchips over relationships. He eventually began his journey.  Travelling the stars, experiencing and learning about the different types of tech people used.

Stats
Construction -1
Research + 2
Mining -1
Shooting -2
Social -1
Medicine +1
Crafting +2

Adulthood:
Title: Jack of all Tech
Backstory:
After years of travelling on various starships and sampling the technologies of other cultures. Dominic grew into his own man. He has kept his naturally caring nature that he had as a child. Despite all the bulky others put him through. He has learnt a vast amount on his travels. Knowing what would seem like petabytes of information when it came to technology. He even replaced his right arm with a robotic replacement to better help him with his technological experimentations. Always researching and knowing how to tweak or fix something.

Growing +2
Research +6
Crafting +3 (clarify what crafting will be for)

Sound good.

Childhood - name change - "Urbworld Tech-head" or "Urbworld tinkerer" or "Urbworld Loner". With a heavier social penalty maybe.
Grammar fixes (you used a lot of fragments)

I've suggested two bits to remove. The "favouring microchips" is a good part, but I suggest you choose between it and the "avoiding confrontations ..."; it seems a little bit repetitive information - but really, up to you.
The last sentence is already described in your adulthood (and really is about his adulthood).

Adulthood - name change "Techncial genius" or "Travelled tech-head" or "Travelling tinkerer"
Also grammar fixes:

Not sure if "bulky" is plain English? Last sentence is not a sentence, it's a fragment. It also describes current behaviour, backstories are meant to be that - backstories. Perhaps something about constant researching, tweaking and/or tinkering could go after "Dominic grew into his own man" (describing the man he became).

Thanks a bunch for the feedback. Never thought I would get any haha. I'll have a think about the suggestions you have made and possibly give them more tweaking. Are my Stat modifiers all okay though?

Thanks.
