i sort of figured that he would have to jump through more than a few hoops to get this accomplished, but since he believes that this is something that's worth the effort, he's going to do what he can to turn it into a reality. what avenues can he take to start building up on his political ties? i'm assuming that his status as a cardinal in the aerie could probably give him an in into certain circles, so he can do some reconnecting there.
since the aerie has pretty much ruined any chances of him staying incognito, there isn't much reason for him to stay out of the public's eye anymore. as far as his new business is concerned, he'll keep everything aboveboard and legal, but i'm interested in having him develop relationships with engineers and suppliers from the night mod, particularly for his more personal projects. he's probably gonna be opening up shop to commission requests ranging from upgrading household appliances to creating a better model of a cybernetic body part as well as doing general repairs.
mostly, his business will be used to earn some money and help people out, so he might eventually design and sell cheap and affordable products that can achieve this goal. he'll make sure people are aware that he wants to give back to the community, whether it be giving a percentage of his profits to humanitarian efforts or lending a helping hand with local/government projects for free. depending on how successful his business gets, he might start to delve into new tech and innovations, opening up the door for government and maybe corporate contracts if they want to utilize his skills and expertise. (his tech and engineering skills are well-known in the aerie, so i'm sure that'll spark some interest.)
the only thing that he'll absolutely refuse to dabble in is weapons manufacturing. that's a hard no. but i think this earth is further behind than tony's in certain technological areas (like nanotech), so he might use his knowledge to his advantage in advancing his business, such as acquiring a loan, attracting investors, etc. he has actually helped out in both new tokyo and new amsterdam with maintenance and repair work, so i'm sure that might have earned him some brownie points with the locals. hopefully that'll help ease him along in starting and running a new business in the city.
let me know your thoughts! i'm flexible in terms of what he can and cannot achieve here.
