Scott Mayden

Scott Mayden is a recurring character of the Darklight series, usually as a supporting character but more recently as an antagonist as well. He is the sole inhabitant of the ruined island Florisbelli, and the latest in a long line of guardians sworn to protect the legendary weapon at the island's center.
==Appearance==
Scott is a lanky man with matted brown hair and emerald eyes. He nearly always wears glasses due to his nearsightedness. He dresses primarily in dark clothes - slacks, a sweater vest, and pointed dress shoes. During autumn and winter, he hastily adds a tattered black cloak and a beanie to this ensemble to help protect from the cold. He is usually seen with a golden pocket watch, which he has a bad habit of opening and shutting when he's nervous, and carries a long metal flashlight to protect himself.
==Personality==
Scott is a bit weak-willed and cowardly, and is usually among the first to hide when trouble is at his door. When he has somebody else helping him, he's usually able to muster at least a little bit of willpower, but he isn't much of a fighter so he usually provides support in whatever small ways he can. He greatly values freedom, and his greatest dream is to leave Florisbelli and his responsibilities in order to explore the world beyond. His devotion to this cause was so absolute that he was willing to go as far as absorbing the soul of Florisbelli's legendary weapon into his own body. He is highly studious and well-learned on the subject of ancient ruins thanks to the teachings of his parents and a myriad of online classes, but his thought process is highly straightforward and blunt, and he often lacks the creativity and outside-the-box thinking necessary to solve the island ruins' many puzzles. While in the company of others, he tends to talk a lot and has trouble gauging when others want to speak, which can make for some awkward moments. Having lived his entire life eating pretty much nothing but canned foods, Scott generally thinks anything with actual flavor is the greatest food in the world, and isn't bothered in the slightest by especially mushy foods that others would see as gross.
==Abilities==
Scott lacks any sort of supernatural abilities of his own, and is usually stuck relying on his wits to navigate and survive Florisbelli. Fortunately, he has wits in spades. He has spent his entire life being taught everything that there is to know about the island and its ruins. He knows its geography, including secret passages and safe tunnels, like the back of his hand. He has armed himself with a flashlight, which he can use to ward off Cosmic Entities and solve Florisbelli's simpler light-based puzzles, but he himself admits that it is no substitute for a Crystal Sword like Rosa's.
During the final act of the reboot of the first Darklight, Scott attempts to absorb the soul of Florisbelli's legendary weapon so that he can guard it while fulfilling his dream of exploring the world beyond the island. He fails to do so, however, and becomes the Barycenter - a cosmic entity with the power to control others in close proximity. Though Rosa is able to transform him back using the newly-reformed Starmaggedon, he retains some influence over weaker cosmic entities even in his regular form, and can manipulate them to defend himself in battle.
