Item
Proof of Aqusition:

Description:
Have you ever had somewhere to go but no way to get there? Worry no more! A family of tinkerers originally from Bosco has created a frankenvehicle from the various parts of all vehicles they found in a junkyard on the rim of Desierto. The main part is of an old steam locomotive, but it does have pieces of cars and boats and even planes!
Want to use the train rails on your own time for free? Absolutely. Want to race across all the lands, on and off-road? Gotcha. Have a remote island in mind but no cash for a boat ride? Yup! Does it even fly?!
...Kinda. I wouldn’t push it.
Abilities:
Name: Locopunk
Description: SPATE is your go-to vehicle for land and sea travel of all sorts. It’s large enough to comfortably fit several people for multiple days in its housing part and has plenty of deck space for sight seeing. One perk is that it is powered by steam and not magic or lacrima, so it will function just fine even in the Neutral Zone. Despite being made of very sturdy metal, it won’t stand up to any battles, so it’s best to leave it out of combat. It might not be the speediest contraption, but it’ll get you there!
Caution! It’s important to note that the vehicle runs on combustible material to create steam in the boiler, so make sure to have enough on hand to get where you’re going and back. The boiler is a little finicky since it’s hodgepodged together, so keep tools on hand and allow for extra time for travel just in case. Sometimes a hardy knock with a wrench will put it in a better mood. Also, while it can technically fly, it is not very dexterous in the air and it also tends to lurch and shake, which could loosen some nuts and bolts midair...it’s not recommended, but it’s possible for short distances... [The user must have OOC permission to use this ability on a player character, a player-owned NPC or an Event NPC ]
