Physical Appearance[]
Dylan is a lanky boy with horn-rimmed glasses, frizzy hair dyed fire-engine red, and braces. He tends to wear shiny silver earrings and a black leather jacket.[1] Dylan gives his short fingernails black polish.
Personality[]
Dylan is very friendly, sophisticated, and knowledgeable. He has a love for weird and dark stories, enjoying the dark and twisty works of Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft amongst other classic horror. Dylan also shows interest in role-playing games and Gothic jewelry, such as Victorian mourning jewelry.
History[]
Dylan grew up in Toledo[1], with cool parents who were supportive of his interests in classic horror and other twisted stories. For his birthday, he was given a hardcover copy of The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories. Dylan and his family moved to town just a week before winter break.
On his first day of high school, Dylan gets chicken nuggets and french fries for lunch and approaches Millie as she's reading "The Fall of the House of Usher." He asks to sit next to her and Millie jokingly asks her imaginary friend if he can sit, which Dylan finds amusing. Dylan then explains that he's new and doesn't know anyone yet. He notices Millie's story and comments that he's a fan of both Poe and H. P. Lovecraft, telling Millie she'd love his dark and twisty stories. Dylan then asks if the school is as lame as it seems and tells Millie she's the only person there that seems cool so far. Millie compliments his jacket and he compliments her jet Victorian mourning jewelry. Millie goes on to explain her favorite kind, but Dylan cuts her off and correctly guesses that it's the type where they weave the hair of the deceased into the jewelry. The bell rings and Dylan asks if it's okay with Millie and her imaginary friend if he sat with them again tomorrow.
The next day, Dylan gives Millie his old, worn paperback copy of The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories. Sometime later, he visits the local library downtown and comes across Millie, who has read the book and is looking for more. Dylan finds a thin book with a black cover titled The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson and invites Millie to sit with him so he can see her reaction. When Millie reaches the end of the titular story, he laughs over her shocked reaction, then invites her to visit You and Me Coffee and Tea after he checks out his books. There, Millie reveals that she's thinking of being a librarian one day. Dylan is supportive of that idea and even suggests dressing like a Goth librarian, with an old-fashioned pince-nez to go with.
Millie and Dylan continue to hang out together at lunch, although Dylan is oblivious to how Millie feels about him. He also begins to date a girl named Brooke Harrison, and for the school holiday bazaar they make a booth on the second floor where they sell reindeer Christmas ornaments made out of candy canes. The two hold hands and laugh over a private joke, unaware that Millie is nearby.
The next day, Dylan sits next to Millie like normal and is confused when she snaps at him over Brooke, who he explains has a different lunch period. Millie gets even more upset, asking if she's his backup or understudy, and he begins to piece together why Millie is upset as she describes what she saw the previous night. Dylan apologizes for having misled Millie, adding that while she is great and pretty he never wanted to be anything other than friends. Millie brings up the comment he made about her being the only cool person, but he reminds Millie that it was his first day and he's met more cool people since. Millie then comments on Brooke's appearance and calls her basic, which upsets Dylan as he tells her what Brooke is actually like. He tells Millie that he's disappointed in her for being a hypocrite and ends the conversation. For the remainder of the school year, Dylan sits with a group of guys who only ever talk about fantasy role-playing games.
