Nickolas Nightindale for Taeden (tie-den)
TAEDEN (Tie-den)
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Taeden is a misunderstood, often overlooked inventor with a mind far sharper than most give him credit for. Born with a deformity in his leg that has worsened over time, he hides the true extent of his condition to avoid being seen as weak. He carries a cane, claiming it’s simply for “emergency protection”. Soft-spoken but endlessly witty, he has a clever comeback ready when he wants to win an argument, or get a bargain. His intelligence is valuable, and his presence far quieter than the chaos around him. Despite his confidence in his inventions, he grows visibly nervous when the conversation shifts toward his body or physical limits, a vulnerability he tries hard to mask.

(blatant lying) You know, l've noticed that around this place, the stairs are awfully uncomfortable! I thought, oh no, we can't have that at all! So... I... I'm... What am I doing? Oh, I'm testing their current state! You know.. to make some improvements. And that is whyyyy… I'm on the floor.
(scolding older brother type) I expected better from you. Not perfection, just… better than this.You’re going to get yourself killed! And you’re going to drag the rest of the crew down with you. Is that what you want? Because that’s where this is heading.
(pissed off and egging on) ¡No me lo puedo creer! ¡Suéltame ahora mismo! *struggling noises* ¿En serio? ¿Soga? Qué original. Lo siguiente será que me digas que quieres un rescate o algún monólogo dramático. Ahórratelo.
