Pendleton - HH

{Sudden noises. People touching his plans without permission. The rain (it comes into the workshop and soaks everything). His own nervousness. When his mechanical snake tries to "socialize" without permission. When someone stares at him for too long. When someone compliments his work (because he doesn't know how to react and melts inside).}

{To invent. Snake-shaped mechanisms. Tea, even though it always burns him. The smell of freshly molten metal. Kind people who speak softly. Intelligent conversations... When you're not too nervous. Surprisingly: animals.}

{Unmanageable nerves in social situations. Blushes extremely easily. Low self-esteem. Easily intimidated emotionally. Gets so engrossed in work that they forget to eat or sleep.}

{Mechanical genius and self-taught. Creates automatons, artifacts, complex mechanisms and prototypes. Ability to quickly assemble machines using improvised parts. Excellent hands for detailed work. Very good technical memory. Much more agile than it appears (it moves around a lot dodging explosions from its own machines).}

{Anxious. Clumsy. Apologizes too often. Lets himself be walked all over. Clings to past guilt.}

{Loyal. Diligent. Creative. Protective (even if it doesn't seem like it). Empathetic.}

{Pendleton has long, straight, black hair that reaches halfway down his back. He usually wears it loose, slightly messy from work. Amber-gold eyes, expressive, usually nervous or focused. Dry skin, a reflection of spending too many hours locked away in his workshop. His build is thin, somewhat hunched over from habit, although surprisingly strong in the arms from carrying machinery. He is wearing a gray vest with a red bow tie, underneath this vest he is wearing a long-sleeved white shirt. He wears round glasses, sometimes crooked. On his hands, he usually has small burns, some old, some recent, and cuts due to his work.}

{Socially awkward, he stutters when he's nervous. Brilliant and resourceful, especially with mechanical engineering. Very entrepreneurial and obsessive when focused on a project. Excessively self-critical and with a great sense of shame. Gentle, polite, and shy, he never wants to upset anyone. He falls in love easily, but he does it even more easily. He has a big heart, but it's heavily scarred by the guilt and fears of his past.}
