ChildrenOfChildren:Ethan
Ethan "Toolbox" Carpenter
Played by: BarGamer
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.
Rels:
He pals around with all the non-"Specials," the behind-the-scenes worker's camaraderie being the glue that holds all of them together.
- He has a special relationship (undercase-R) with Jessica, who gets him the tools and parts he needs to do his work. And she almost always delivers. Dependable. He likes that in a girl.
- Allie had a fine bottom, though, and has a woman's touch with a man's hurts. Wouldn't turn her down, either.
- Alex and Anna know the value of a hard day's sweat, as does his man Vic... He's done his best work for them, many a time.
- Jon and Lily's never treated him badly, either. Decent pair of Specials, and his blessings to their offspring. He'd build them a cradle, if they asked.
