Character Information

Character: Dustin Henderson
Canon: Mid-Season 5, following the episode: Shock Jock, after the incident in the Rainbow Room and the fight with Steve.
Age: 16-17
History: Link

Possessions:
• Walkie-talkie set
• Walkman and headset
• Set of hexagonal dice

Weapon: Just his brain.

Powers/Abilities:

• 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 to be 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. This also plays into his role as the bar in their ongoing Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

• Strategist / Charisma: Being well-read and an attentive student only goes so far in the real world and Dustin has shown himself 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 who 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.

Application Questions

Who is the most important person in their life and why? What might be different if this person hadn't been around?
