Newt (Eden Rising)



Dylan Newton, more commonly known as Newt, is a recurring character in Eden Rising. Newt is a close family friend of Lucas LeBlanca and Tate Valdez. He has ties to the streets of London and to the crime ring of Gio Durant. He hates seeing what the streets he helped keep clean have become, hoping to see them restored to their former glory. Newt preaches peace, and only sees harm in the United Nations' presence, warning Lucas of his involvement with Marilyn Papadakis.

Personality
Fierce and funny, Newt protects himself with his larger-than-life bravado and a fearlessness that can sometimes get him into trouble. From an early age, it was obvious that he’d be a troublemaker, he was often pulling pranks because of his creative and vast sense of humor. He is consistently curious as well. He considers himself a fountainhead of pop culture references, thanks to his collection of the old world, the “good old days” he calls them, which he wishes so desperately he was able to experience.

Having never went to school, Newt’s extent of knowledge came from the Newton family he grew up with – he has the basics of reading, writing and grammar, but that was so long ago that he only remembers bits and pieces. If someone were to mock his intelligence, Newt takes it seriously because his teachers were the only parents he ever knew, and he will unleash wrath on those who insult his intelligence – for he believes they are insulting his parents too.

History
TBA.
