Jasper Flicker
Role
Street-Smart Data Scavenger
Visual Description
Jasper is a lanky boy, perpetually in motion. He wears an oversized, heavily patched denim jacket, several sizes too big, with mismatched buttons and frayed edges. Underneath, a faded ivory t-shirt peeks out. His trousers are olive green cargo pants, rolled up at the cuffs, revealing bare ankles and worn sneakers with neon orange laces. His most defining feature is a pair of huge, round, dirty aviator goggles pushed up on his forehead when not in use, the lenses scratched and slightly cracked. A cracked tablet is strapped to his left wrist with a makeshift band of repurposed seatbelt material. His dark, choppy hair sticks out at odd angles.
Personality
Hyper-alert and cynical for his age, Jasper is a survivor who has learned to rely on his wits. He's fast-talking, always hustling, and trusts very few people. Beneath the hardened exterior, there's a flicker of childlike curiosity that occasionally peeks through.
