Dimen Cartwright

Dimen Cartwright

**Dimen Cartwright** is a novel writer from Coperton, the son of Chronus and Agatha, and Rust's father.

Despite possessing a pocket watch with the ability to manipulate time, characteristic of the family name, Dimen rejected the family's legacy of time travelling, as he prefers not to tamper with the timelines, instead, dedicating his time to his biggest passion, writing novels.

## Appearance

Dimen is 185cm tall with a feeble appearance despite a strong build. He has pale skin and teal eyes, short caramel blond hair and two tall white horns.

He wears glasses since he has a really hard time seeing anything without them. He also wears a green and brown suit, wine-red tie, white gloves, dark teal pants and brown shoes.

## Personality

Dimen is quite serious and normally seems to no have no time to deal with any kind of nonsense. However, despite his serious demeanour, Dimen is actually quite kind-hearted and friendly to those surrounding him.

He is often very private, and hardly opens up to anyone about himself, but he can be talkative and seems to enjoy long discussions. He is quite charismatic and charming to most, however, he seems unaware of how his words might sound to others, as he sometimes finds himself sound subconsciously flirtatious, only to get confused when others react to this.

Due to the death of his past lover Emery, he finds it incredibly hard to approach love, mostly feeling uncomfortable with himself as he has a hard time letting go of the past.

Dimen can also come off as snobbish when dealing with someone he dislikes and can come out as nasty and rude if insulted in any way, however, he always tries to avoid confrontation whenever he can.

He's also a huge bookworm and enjoys spending long afternoons in libraries being somewhat reclusive at times.

## Abilities

Dimen has a silver pocket watch, which can be used for time manipulation much like Chronus' and Rust's, his watch focusing on freezing time.

Dimen dislikes the idea of tampering with time so he never actually uses it for that purpose, only preferring to use it as regular watch like any other.

He never learned how to use it, and prefers to keep it that way.

## Relationships

### **Emery**

Dimen and Emery met when they were very young, as Emery had been adopted into the family, the two were raised together almost like siblings.

They had a strong bond, that later developed into a crush and the two eventually began dating when they were older. Both having introverted personalities and similar interest kept them together whenever they could, when they would be more open and playful.

Dimen always seemed to be searching for excuses to spare Emery of her maid work, even though she insisted on doing everything regardless.

The two also kept their relationship a secret due to some still seeing them as actual siblings despite everything. Dimen always realized how Emery unconsciously put him on a pedestal and he always tried to make her feel less insecure with herself, even if most times, he was the main reason for it.

Despite having been years ever since her death, Dimen still misses her dearly and has a hard time letting go of the past with her.

### **Chronus**

Chronus and Dimen were never too close and their personalities often clashed. Dimen despised how his father was always light-hearted with everyone he was with, but always rough and critical of Dimen and his choices. Plus his near-constant absence from his life always bothered him.

Chronus seems to resent Dimen for choosing to become an author rather than a time traveller instead, and it only got worse when him and Rust met and Chronus immediately took a liking to the young time traveller, which only resulted in him and Dimen getting along even worse.

Dimen too holds a grudge to his father for having a preference, but deep down he still cares a lot for him and worries about Chronus due to his recklessness despite his old age.

### **Agatha**

In contrast to his father, Dimen always got along quite well with his mother, even if still distant at times, she was a lot more supportive, so he always found it easier to be with her and he trusts her a lot more.

As the years went by, they seemed to grow closer and closer and Dimen sees her as a "Voice of Reason" figure that he trusts to speak to, whenever he feels troubled.

### **Rust**

As eager as he was to first meet his son that had been lost for 17 years, Dimen couldn't help but to feel regretful that Rust existed, and in a way, blame him for Emery's death.

Upon meeting, as Rust simply held a grudge for his father, blaming him for his mother's death and abandoning him, Dimen, seeing his attempts to rationalize with the boy fail, began to grow a dislike towards him.

Despite deep down, caring for his well being, Dimen keeps a cold and occasionally bitter attitude towards Rust, and doesn't seem to want to get too close with him. He even actively avoids Rust when he finds him as Rust will attempt to strike a conversation and get trouble in order to embarrass him.

### **Steam**

Dimen knows Steam for being Ochre's daughter and only properly met her when she was helping Rust find his family. She never knew that Dimen had a son and he found it amusing how her and Rust knew each other and even shared the same workspace and home.

Dimen and Steam never had that much of a reason to interact and are only acquaintances.
