basics

born october 20, 1994

south asian american

moved to dahlia after graduating high school to attend D.A.M.N

seer masquerading as a “boring ol’ freelancer”

works at Error Code, a vintage electronics/media & tech support store on D.A.M.N's campus ↳ coworkers: @avamental, @rnprice

really good with technology and electronics. fancies himself a robotics engineer

personality

the loss of his brother and subsequently being disowned led to him self-isolating since his teens, though you wouldn't know it from his general upbeat and playful demeanor around people

he does like people and being around them, he's just generally careful not to get too close to anyone because of his Sight. stems from not wanting anyone to experience the heartbreak he went through when his brother died in the event of his own death + not wanting to experience further loss himself

primarily uses his Sight for little things (weather forecasts, traffic incidents, etc) so he can a) avoid involuntary visions and b) keep visions quick. the less he’s in the time streams, the better - his own death vision scares him

coping with the burden of Life and Death. but he stays silly /ref

always joking, even if the mood isn't right for it. but he can be sincere under the right circumstances

really smart (especially in tech, obviously) and always looking to learn more. people get annoyed sometimes by his constant questions, but he's not trying to be intrusive or anything. he's just curious

backstory

born to uninformed and unempowered parents

had a really hard time with his Sight when it first manifested in his early teens because he had no one to talk to about it. probably thought he was going crazy

he kept his visions locked down because they scared him after he saw his own death, but when he started seeing his brother's death, he finally told his parents about them

obviously they didn't believe him and thought he was being weird and morbid, but his brother died almost exactly the way he foretold, and they eventually disowned because they thought he was like. cursed. and they couldn't handle his downward spiral

from there he luckily ended up on the empowered side of things and was able to get help understanding his Sight. after graduating high school, he moved out to dahlia to attend D.A.M.N., where he got full certification as a freelancer

other

has a siamese cat named oracle. she's a certified emotional support animal

has a fucked up sleep schedule because he has chronic insomnia. also plagued by headaches, partially because of this

goes for energy drinks over soda. caffeine sharpens his Sight

relates his Sight to, like... building a PC or something. bunch of different pieces that can be changed to alter the performance in some way, ykwim? i don't build PCs idk

unapologetic romcom enjoyer. don't ask unless you want him to whip out his letterboxd and talk your ear off

despite being able to see the future, he has very bad luck. always losing chance games, spilling drinks onto keyboards, tripping over untied shoelaces, etc
