Lonnis Tober III (Lonnie)

Lonnis Tober III (Known by anyone who's cool as "Lonnie") is a robotics and automotive expert who specializes, like most mechanics of his day and age, in harnessing the power of atomic fusion to create machines that may have once only been imagined for the drive-in theater. The grandson of well-known steam engineer Lonnis Tober I, Lonnie carries on his family heritage of furthering technology and its implications.

Lonnie was born in the skycity of Chicago in the year 1937, before moving with his parents to St. Louis at age 4. His father was a mechanic who aided American forces in the Second Diesel War, engineering armored suits for soldiers to wear into combat, but went missing during the European campaign. At the end of the War, American scientists discovered how to manipulate uranium atoms and created the first atom bombs, whose use ended the Second Diesel War. Afterwards, Lonnie was enrolled in the new government sanctioned Atomic Engineering classes that most American schools were adopting, in an effort to create bright new inventors for the limitless potential of atomic fusion. While many students found themselves enamored with home appliance or civil defense specializations, Lonnie found himself highly interested in robotics. Armed with his inherent handiness and his newfound knowledge, Lonnie took over his father's mechanic shop at age 16 and began his own hot-rodding and robotics business. The rest is history.

Lonnie's creations include the band's primary mode of transportation, the ChroniCaddy Mk IV, as well as his faithful robot Inkwell and the Forearm-Mounted Synthetic Instrumentation Device.
