## Character profile

### Appearance

Tally is a young man who is a head taller than the main duo. He is skinny and has light orange skin. He has auburn, messy hair put into a spiky style, and goldenrod colored eyes that are bigger compared to Spectral and Ace’s. He wears an orange zip-hoodie shirt with a black sweatshirt under it, black baggy pants, and orange boots. He keeps a pair of black goggles with orange lenses around his forehead and dons a black backpack that keeps a load of useful tools that he calls “The Tally Pack”.

### Personality and traits

Unlike the other characters who usually talk loudly, or stay almost completely silent, Tally is normally calm, direct, and outspoken, but enough provocation may cause him to start yelling in an angry, and much louder tone. He takes great pride in his position as an inventor, especially his own varied arsenal, to which he refers it as "The Tally Pack." Tally is strongly supportive and caring of his friends, but most importantly his cousin, who he is currently living with and training to be a great inventor like him. He also has a little crush on Lauren, which he keeps a secret.
