Personality: Darren is a gentle, polite man, rather soft-spoken in his day-to-day affairs. He is a perfectionist, often staying with a task for hours or even days until it’s completely without flaw. He prefers to stay in the background of discussions, quietly analyzing until he’s confident in his point, which he tends to be stubborn about.
In battle, his Sentries are slower than most, as they fire rockets instead of bullets, but they are also more powerful than the average turret. He takes great pride in this, but gets very defensive if someone points out their weaknesses. Darren tends to be a bit trigger-happy during a fight, and since he can’t hear cloaked Spies, he Spy-checks an excessive amount. “Better safe than sorry,” he says.
The Engineer is reluctant to start fights, but will retaliate when threatened, particularly if his bird or machines are in danger. If necessary, he can be violent edging on brutal, and has a cruel streak a mile wide, hidden under a patient smile and calloused handshake.
Likes: Tinkering with his machines, particularly his rocket-firing Sentries. Also enjoys playing the harmonica, sketching, taking apart appliances and rebuilding them to be more efficient, drinking with his team, watching his canary fly around the base, listening to blues records, barbecue, and reading the newspaper.
Dislikes: Computer programming, prefers trial-and-error when working with machines. Dislikes the scent of burned meat, flowery writing, and chipped paint.
Fears/phobias: Indoor fires, such as fireplaces, candles, and cigarettes. Also fears Spies, his canary dying, and swimming in murky water.
Favourite colour: Yellow
Pets: One yellow canary named Caroline.
