Fav. Food: Most ethnic foods, but he loves just about anything.
Hated Food: Vegetarian cuisine, but is not opposed to a vegetables themselves.
Occupation: DJ at various nightclubs.
Hobbies: DJing. Dustin spends a lot of time listening to music, and often toys around with the sounds through various DJing or audo-mixing applications on his laptop. He has a very good ear for music and is quite talented at this. He has played for several house or apartment parties with his laptop plugged into speakers. Although he receives a lot of compliments and is told that he should pursue a career in this, he doesn’t believe that success is in his cards, so does not make a profession out of it.
Urban Exploring. Destiny City is a fascinating city with strange going-ons around the town, and abandoned districts from various mysterious activities that have taken place. Dustin is fascinated by all of the various abandoned and hidden treasures the city has to offer, and seeks to explore them. He often carries spray-paint with him, and would leave behind a small graffiti tag claiming that he “wuz” there.
The Internet. Dustin spends a lot of time on the internet. Whether he is trolling an Internet forum, laughing at GIFs, or playing online games, Dustin likes to do it all.
Going Out. Simply put, Dustin likes to do s**t. He rolls with whatever is going on with a group, but prefers to do more adventurous activities that make a good story or interesting experience. Whether its partying, trying a new restaurant or seeing a new movie, Dustin is glad to do it as long as he can afford it.
Virtues: Bold. Dustin has a strong presence in a room. He’s outspoken, speaks his mind, starts up conversation and does not shy away from confrontation. He is happy to be the one to speak up or do something when nobody else is going to, and is not afraid of what consequences may result. In fact, he’s eager to see what those consequences are so that he may retaliate against them. This behavior lends him some credibility as a leader from time to time, whether its a social gathering or an argument, although he is reluctant to view himself in such a manner.
Independent. Dustin doesn’t need you. His happiness is not dependent on others. He does not need your approval, your pity, or your help. He prefers to do things on his own, having more trust in his own capabilities than in the capabilities of others, whether the task ahead is simple or complicated. While his life frequently is in shambles, he'd rather make things happen for himself through his own might and effort than relying on the support of other people.
Quick-Witted. Dustin is quick on his feet. This is most apparent in his sense of humor, albeit typically lined with insults, but can also be seen in his actions and more civil conversations. He is quick to think of a way out of trouble or a solution to a problem, able to process information and come to a decent result at strong speeds.
Nonchalant. Dustin appears level-headed and cool in most situations. Even in his most aggressive or emotional instances, he still carries a calm-headed air around him. When emotional or going though difficult times, he is able to present calmness in his actions. That isn’t to say he doesn’t act based on his emotions – but his actions are most guided by what pleases him more than other emotions such as sadness or anger.
Flaws: Insensitive. Dustin tells it how it is – or how he thinks it is. It doesn’t matter how appropriate the comment is. This isn’t just being blunt in his responses to questions – he’d share his opinion even when uninvited. He’d introduce himself to others with an insult if he takes issue with your appearance, and won’t lay up on the rudeness if he knows that it is bothering the other person. In fact, that would just encourage him. He finds there are few people who he can actually tolerate, and these sorts of decisions are made in snap-judgments. He would be less likely to insult these people right off the bat, but would still dish out petty jabs without hesitation.
Hedonist. The top priority in Dustin’s life is whatever Dustin wants to do – whatever will make
him happy. While in a group this can lead to fun times and fun memories, it can also lead to dangerous experiences. Dustin is not just reckless, he is dangerous with the way he treats his own body and others. He is open to trying all sorts of experiences, no matter how dangerous, and can be very physical or violent with others if it pleases him. He isn’t great at fighting and isn’t very strong, so this usually results in getting his a**-kicked.
Cynical. Dustin is one to assume the worst about the future. This isn’t to say that he would analyze how events may unfold, examine the risks and then avoid doing the task. If it pleases him, he will absolutely still do whatever he wants. But his defense for putting himself and others at harm is that it doesn’t matter what happens to them – everyone will die eventually, and that is all there is to life. He assumes the worst in others, which makes him very untrusting of people regardless of how close they may be to him. He doesn’t necessarily think they are out to harm him, but believes that a person’s flaws are their true colors, and their positive attributes are simply disguises.
Lost. Dustin has no idea what his purpose in life is or what he wants out of life. Dustin is rude, hedonistic and cynical, but those type of characteristics don’t fly so well in the real world. He finds it difficult to hold any job – or get a job, for that matter – and he struggles to adjust to the real world. He appears to need guidance from others or aide in balancing his life, but is either too reluctant to accept help or his personality deters people from offering it. He wishes to find happiness just as much as the next person – and he would admit to desiring such – but he doesn’t believe that there is happiness for him to find in this world.
