Appearance: Tall and almost bulky, Dustin looks almost like he belongs on a ship; even though he’s rarely been on them. Now facing the slow end of his youthful years, Dustin’s expressions and physique are beginning to show the wear and tear of his life. He’s consistently dressed in earth tones and blacks, and tends to keep his wardrobe as muted as he can be. Stark, angular tattoos can be seen peering out from underneath a t-shirt, which—if removed—would reveal that much of him is covered in ink. He keeps a beard on the fringe of unmaintained, and is otherwise rather cleanly indeed. 

Personality: Dustin used to be absolutely normal. Middle class, nuclear family, office job; you name it. Perfectly unoriginal and absolutely content. 

That was a long time ago.

Nowadays, Dustin battles with his own demons. On the days you’ll find him without a cigarette, that hand is usually holding hard liquor instead. Discussions of his past are usually met with gruff silence or vague replies. Ever since, he’s rarely stayed in one place for long.

His ticket to the Crescenzo has actually done him more good than harm. He feels much better now. Whether or not the open waters will provide him with solace or a tomb, those who know him do not know. One thing’s for sure, somewhere in his eyes, he’s felt just a little bit happier now that things are all behind him, on the distant shoreline. 

Before “Open Waters” (Background): Dustin used to work as an executive manager at a local call-center. He had come a long way since his telemarketing career. 

After an unspoken event, however, Dustin moved back near his parent’s house; although he didn’t say long. Long trips were spent up north, near the Canadian border, then farther west to the Rocky Mountains. Finally, Dustin spent a brief stint in the suburbs of Seattle, before finally saving enough and finding the right people to purchase passage aboard the Crescenzo. 

Strengths: Dustin is strong physically, with age only taking little of his old youthful energy and body. Dustin is good with his hands, as well as good with fixing mechanical issues and barriers in his way. His telemarketing days left him with a vast social skill-set, and because of this, he’s got a strong ability to alter his speech and tone to give off whatever vibe he chooses. 

Weaknesses: Emotions aren’t Dustin’s strong suit. When within a normal mindset, his abilities to manipulate and convey feelings are great. When worked up, however, this ability is all but gone. Dustin has a tendency to be volatile, and moody, often walking away from situations as they unfold, so as to not show weakness. The nicotine addiction and the alcoholism don’t help, either.
