Dixon

**BACK TO CHARACTERS INDEX**

**Dixon** was a minor character in ***Ascent: Trials of Vore***. He was a human mechanic from the Io of a future Solar System who's history before the 4th Floor of the Tower is unclear.

His first and only appearance was in *Floor 4 - Out Of Time*, of which he was the main antagonist. Being overcome by the floor's mental effect, he was defeated by Ashley Gray and Ogborth, and eaten by Esther Fuega.

## Profile

### Appearance

**In-Tower:** Physical looks unclear, being human aside. Normal clothes unknown due to 4th Floor.

### Personality

Friendly, amicable & helpful at first, & slightly snarky/dry. Viewed jazz music as "archaic shit" & sea as overrated, due to nature of home reality. Quickly afflicted by 4th Floor's gang persona effect, so details of true personality unclear after became sadistic, twitchy cunning & hostile.

## History

### Background

* Pre-Tower, was mechanic for satellites over Io in own futuristic universe. ***(Floor 4 - Out Of Time)***
* At some point, warped to Tower, reaching 4th Floor. ***(Floor 4 - Out Of Time)***

### ***Ascent: Trials of Vore***

#### 4th Floor

* Arrives on 4th Floor after Ashley Gray, but unclear due to time dilation on floor. Waits time at bar, working out mechanics of it.
* Meets Ashley & Syl, cluing them to time dilation. Ideal strategy of finding oldest climber to find Overseer, but dilation makes impossible.
* Likely present as Esther Fuega - floor Overseer - arrives.
* Fuega's trial: carry parcel in free-for-all from club to docks - avoiding hungry police on way - take boat to 2nd city across bay & go to Myriam's Bash & Brass Joint for delivery. First 9 pass to 5th Floor, Fuega warning she'll eat rest. Sees Fuega & club's wall vanish, accessing outside.
* Makes it to docks, taking at least 3 others' parcels on way over untrue rumor of bonus for having more. On boat to 2nd city, meets Ashley again - & Ogborth - now with sack of parcels. Sees Syl dodge knife-wielding climber trying to take parcel when regurgitated, Ogborth tossing to sea as prey for iguana woman.
* Enters 2nd city, at some point finding pistol. Makes way to Myriam's. Kills 4 climbers & eats 1.
* Jumps Nuon in alley behind Myriam's, putting gun to head. Ashley arrives & draws gun. Demands they hand over parcels, but Ashley stalls enough with debate about how all acting for Ogborth to tackle off Nuon - though gun safety on anyway. Injured enough to froth at mouth. Disappeared & eaten by Esther. ***(Floor 4 - Out Of Time)***

## Abilities

* **Mechanic Skills:** Stated self to be mechanic working on satellites over Io in own universe, so likely has relevant skills, though not seen.

### Detailed Record

* "Unknown Climber" - 4F [Type unknown.] ***(Floor 4 - Out Of Time)***

## Relationships

### Enemies

* **Nuon:** Seen by Nuon as 4th Floor trial's "enemy". Was "Friendly" at first, but became malevolent as overtaken by floor effect, showing dark colors by killing/eating so many for parcels. No good in Nuon's eyes after trying to kill her. Dealt with, so put behind by Nuon.
* **Ashley Gray, Syl, Ferra & Ogborth:** Seen by Ashley, Syl, Ferra & Ogborth as 4th Floor trial's "enemy", as acted malevolent, overtaken by floor effect, showing dark colors by killing/eating so many for parcels. No good in group's eyes after tried to kill Nuon. Dealt with by Ogborth personally, before Esther, so irrelevant now.
