#seyss

Not yet finished and I don’t have time or energy to work on the line art, but I guess I wanted to share the lineup of Dusts characters so far and how wildly different they can be.

Seyss has earned the nickname Wasp for the color of her hoverbike and her sheer ruthlessness. Many of the people who are close to her call her Seyss, but many others call her Wasp in whispers out of respect for the sheer human hurricane she can be.

Zeph was given the nickname Firefly since she’s always carrying around her communications tablet or some other sort of glowing tech on her. Few actually call her Firefly, though, besides people who have never met her. Anyone who has spoken to her in person calls her Zeph since she’s doesn’t mind the familiarity with using a real name. However, only Seyss is allowed to call her Zee.

Camille is known better as Cherry, but the full nickname is Cherry Bomb. She’s been dubbed this for her preference of sharp, sudden action instead of talking (as well as her tiny stature). Most people just refer to her as Cherry since few people know her real name—and even fewer are allowed to call her Cammy.

Fella’s legal name is Hortense, but there was a brief amount of time where he forgot his name. Due to his lack of a title and wild encounters, many just spoke of “that fella,” and he took on Fella as his own name. No one calls him Hortense but Theo. Everyone else knows him as Fella.

Wicker isn’t a Scav, but he spends so much time around them that he’s been given an honorary nickname. His actual name is Chadwick but prefers not to be called that. He earned the nickname Wicker after being struck by lightning on one occasion and set on fire during another, giving people the impression that he was a living candle wick and it was bound to happen. Only people in his workplace call him Chadwick; he’s Wicker to everyone else.

Agnes got her name from the android ID imprinted on the back of her neck—AGN-E5, or translated, Automated General Nurse, Edition Five. Although her personality chip and processors have developed enough for her to come across as human, her basic programming to care for others has led her to be one of the few medics in the Dusts. For this, she is simply known as Doc. Many folks who are close to her simply call her Agnes (with Fella dubbing her Aggie), but many of her regular patients call her Doc out of respect.
