Dustin Henderson
Stranger Things
— BASICS —
— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —

APPEARANCE Standing at five foot five Dustin is more slight than the rest of his peers, thanks to his cleidocranial dysplasia causing a growth delay. Despite his size, he's got a large attitude, and gestures often when speaking making him seem even bigger than he is while he speaks. He's got a mass of unruly brown curls fashioned into something close to a mullet but styled well (thank you Steve), blue eyes, and braces.
CLOTHING Whatever's comfortable, and not so loose that it slides off his body when he's moving. In most cases, a hat.
DEMEANOR Sarcastic, but animated with wide gesticulations to accompany whatever he's talking about. He's emphatic and a little cocky and he carries that in his chest despite the absence of collar bones. Expressive and goofy, he's got a bad poker face and he wears his heart on his sleeve.
AURAL link
OLFACTORY Book pages, pen ink, sugary ...substances?, dirt, grass, and chemicals.
— SKILLS —
• Genius-Level Intelligence/Wisdom: As the bard, Henderson has the wisdom and knowledge to maintain a balance where things can be endured through the indifference of chaos. His knowledge tends to save himself and his friends whenever trouble comes their way, building equipment and finding resources to fight against evil foes.
• Engineering / Technical Skills: He is able to craft many impressive items that successfully worked and proved as the work of a great inventor at such a young age.
• Singing: Another skill of Dustin as the bard is having a good singing voice. As he excellently sang "Never Ending Story" to his girlfriend Suzie over Cerebro.
• Strategist / Charisma: Being well-read and an attentive student only goes so far in the real world and Dustin has shown to be able to put those skills into practical application, using deduction, reasoning, and consistent study work to formulate plans to combat what he and his friends have to go through. While he's not what many would consider "popular," he knows how to speak to people, level with them, and has shown an ability to reason with individuals that would likely not participate in his antics otherwise. Up to and including effortlessly lying to adults, teachers, and other people in roles of leadership and authority.
• Cleidocranial Dysplasia: Individuals with cleidocranial dysplasia usually have underdeveloped or absent collarbones, also called clavicles ("cleido-" in the condition name refers to these bones). As a result, their shoulders are narrow and sloping, can be brought unusually close together in front of the body, and in some cases can be made to meet in the middle of the body.
