Thyme Eclor


Physical Appearance: Thyme has dark red hair by nature, not dyed to be a rebellious youth as so many others seem to believe, and grey eyes that may seem violet to some in the proper lighting. His hair has an untamable aspect to it, sticking up whichever way unless he wets it in the morning, which he finds rather pointless… so he wears a simple black baseball cap to cover it up instead. He generally has a passive expression, although it is far from unfriendly. If one manages to catch him when he smiles, it is a rather refreshing sight.

Personality: Thyme has a tendency to make things sound better than it was. It’s not that he is an optimist, but rather that he has difficulty varying extremes of emotions. This often leads to the under-expression of dire circumstances or reasons of celebration, which seems to irk people although that is not his intention. There is only a limited range of emotions that he shows, rarely going beyond irritation, sulking, and the faintest hint of a smile. Rarely does he ever express anger, grief, or laughter… when asked why, he’ll simply answer that it’s awkward, indicating that he does feel such sensations, but he merely has difficulty expressing them. At the same time, he tends to answer joking rhetorical questions rather seriously, indicating him to be unable to read most cases of sarcasm or humor – however, he often asks belatedly, “Ah, was that sarcasm?”. He has an unhealthy liking for sparkling apple juice, which may or may not be partially responsible for his insomnia. Surprisingly, despite his passive personality, he is somewhat impatient. When this occurs, he can be found staring at something with a constant motion, such as clock hands, a pendulum, a metronome, waves. Many of those who don’t know him very well do not think of this as impatience, but rather label him a daydreamer. He is an observant fellow who is good in matters of strength and speed. From his daily walks, he has also built up quite a bit of stamina, allowing him to travel long distances while conserving energy. However, when it comes to matters of stealth, he is very, very lacking. He also seems rather tired in the mornings, most likely due to his lack of proper sleep.

Equipment: Thyme at the moment is wearing a black windbreaker with a pack of gum in the pocket, with one stick gone, and wearing a dark blue messenger bag slung over his shoulder. In it is his laptop with a rapidly dying battery, two bottles of sparkling apple juice, a swiss army knife, a blank journal, and a fountain pen. He also has a wallet which holds about $150 and some spare change. In it is also his driver’s license.

History: Thyme was born on the mainland but once turned twelve, he was raised on the secluded island of Peakes in the Rosewoods settlement by his aunt and uncle. His parents died due to an unfortunate car accident in an incident from so long ago that he cannot remember. He grew up close to the forest, used to nature and the island, but also found a fascination with technology. As time went by, he often spent time simply fiddling about with simple programs of his own design on his laptop, but he always without fail, went for a walk every day. He enjoyed observing the natural world of the forest and often watched the botanists at work as they studied the trees native to the island. One day, while exploring, he wandered farther than usual and stumbled upon a strange temple in a cavern. Curious, he decided to investigate.

Whether he regrets the decision or not, he has yet to know.
