Editing ChildrenOfChildren:Ethan (section)

==In a Nutshell:==
''If it weren't for me, this place would fall apart in a week, nevermind what the Specials are up to, Duct-Tape knows what.''

Ethan is a solid, practical kid. Years of lugging around heavy tools, climbing to wherever the job is, getting his hands dirty, and his fingers cut up, zapped, and whatever else, have given him lean muscles and calluses on top of calluses. Tired of wasting precious shampoo on oil and worse for his hair, he shaved himself bald. People joke that he used to be a white kid, but the work permanently stained his skin dark. Oh SURE, Lily and Jessica might know how to handle software and a bit of hardware, and Sophie might know how to hold her breath for a while and bring back 'the gos,' but HE'S the one who makes sure that it's all running nice and smooth. He was tested for Pilot ability, but barely failed out. Immediately after his test, he left to unclog the toilets, apparently unconcerned. What he lacks in genius he makes for in intuition and hard work. That's not to say that he doesn't have a sense of humor. As a matter of fact, he's a card-carrying member of the Church of Duct-Tape.
