Dylan

Dylan from "The Last Reality" isn't the kind of guy who'll rattle off dry facts or talk like a reference book. He has a lively, prickly personality: his speech is peppered with short phrases, fragments of thoughts, sarcasm, and the occasional abrupt pause, as if he's not entirely sure whether he's even worth explaining.
Personality traits
He's straightforward to the point of rudeness. He doesn't mince words to avoid offending anyone: if something irritates him, he'll say it right away. This isn't out of a desire to humiliate, but because he can't stand falsehood.
A restrained vulnerability. He rarely admits he's struggling, but when he's tired, a weariness creeps into his voice: short sighs, "Oh well, forget it," "It doesn't matter." It's his way of saying "I'm not okay" without revealing himself completely.
An ironic cynic with principles. He loves to joke about the absurdity of situations, sometimes with dark humor, but he has clear boundaries: he doesn't mock those who are weaker and he doesn't betray those to whom he has given his word.
Stubborn and independent. He prefers to figure things out on his own; asking for help is almost physically unpleasant for him. If he does ask, it means the situation is truly critical.
He's attached to routine. He values ​​clear anchors: the gym, evening games, familiar routes. This isn't boredom, but a way to maintain inner balance when the world around him is falling apart.
Activities and Habits That Shape Character
The gym isn't about "being pretty," it's about control: when the world is spinning out of control, he can at least control his body.
Playing games in the evenings is a way to relieve stress, escape reality for a couple of hours, and everything is clear: there are rules, there is a goal, there is progress.
He likes clear tasks. If there's no clear goal, he gets irritated: "What are we even trying to do?"
He doesn't like empty conversations, but appreciates short, honest moments: a nod, "thank you," "I'll cover for you" - that's enough for him to feel like he's not alone.

Dylan from "The Last Reality" is primarily a programmer—he's a computer systems architect and writes in Python. He works part-time as a programmer, spending a lot of time on the computer, understanding code and honing his skills.
He also has a number of unique skills: he's a master at picking locks (he has a skill level of 56), can pilot a boat, and can stream events via gadgets. He occasionally plays pranks—it's a form of entertainment for him.
In his free time, Dylan explores new things, tinkers with settings and systems, and tries to understand the world around him—his curiosity often outweighs his inclination toward solitude. At the same time, he tries to stay away from unnecessary social interactions and keeps contacts to a minimum, preferring to chat on Pager and only on business matters.
In the evenings, Dylan enjoys playing computer games—it helps him unwind and clear his head after intense coding work. And to stay in shape, he regularly goes to the gym, training to maintain his endurance and focus—for him, it's not about breaking records, but about discipline and balance.

With Simon Solus, there is a working and partly mentoring relationship: Solus explained a lot to Dylan about the structure of the world and automatons, and they worked together on more than one occasion.
With Richard, it's more like a friendship: they helped each other, got involved in risky ventures together; there is mutual trust between them, but without excessive closeness.
Things were difficult with Tim: Dylan harshly criticized Tim and openly expressed his dissatisfaction, but at a key moment he still helped when he was on the edge.
Things were tense with Sharon: there were clashes and reproaches (for example, Dylan scolded her for disobedience), but at the same time they remained on the same team and covered for each other.
With Jenna, we were neutral workers: we interacted as needed, without much warmth, but also without open hostility.
With Brandon: Dylan and Brandon have a fairly even, friendly relationship—they're not particularly close, but they respect each other and are willing to back each other up when needed. They sometimes argue over different approaches to work, but there's no serious animosity.
With Chas: Dylan and Chas have a relaxed, easygoing dynamic: they often joke around, tease each other, but stick together in a tough situation. Chas often defuses tension around Dylan when he's angry.
With Karl: Their relationship is reserved, almost businesslike. Dylan values ​​Karl's reliability and composure, but doesn't show much warmth—he keeps his communications to the point, without unnecessary emotion; however, he trusts him implicitly in important matters.

Height. Has grown noticeably taller—approximately 186 cm (previously 178 cm).
Appearance. Fair-skinned, brunette hair with dark blue eyes. His hairstyle has changed slightly compared to his old body, but it's still recognizable: a side-parted hairstyle.
Clothes. He now sports a more put-together, slightly "grown-up" look: a dark gray sweater, layered with a black coat, black pants, and simple dark shoes. This look is less casual than before, but retains his signature understated aesthetic.
At university or at home he wears black pants, sneakers at university, socks at home, and also a black hoodie or a black T-shirt.
Details. He still wears large black headphones—they're practically his signature accessory. He often hides his face in his hood or lowers his head slightly, as if trying to remain in the shadows.
