Russell Seager

Currently the youngest of the new recruits to the Cyber Sect, he nonetheless displays a surprising and concerning level of unchildlike behavior. One can only assume that he has seen and experienced more than a fair share of things no normal kid his age has.

Biography
Incredibly secretive, Russell has given away very little about his past publicly. So far what he has expressed indicates that his parental upbringing was absolutely abysmal, and that said parents are no longer among the living. When Russell first joined Rorrim, he was staying in a group home. The other kids there were not kind to him, bullying him for his inability to behave normally in social situations, symptoms of mental illness, and certain stories that follow him, they branded him a "deranged maniac" and other similarly scathing insults. That is, when he and the other kids didn't avoid each other outright. When Corith heard about this, he quickly took Russell under his wing and had him set up in a single person, ground floor apartment on the Rorrim complex. Since then, he has also received visits from the Archivist, who made dinner for him and regularly leaves food and recipes for him, and Anna. He has also established a rapport with Valentine, being one of the few to do so. Despite many contrasts in their external demeanor, the two seem to share an understanding on many things and mutually express concern over each other, as well as caution the other about their behaviors, even if for different reasons. Even more impressively, Russell seems to have become someone who's opinion Val evidently cares enough about that telling Russell about his callous behavior has been used as restraint with surprising effect.

Personality
An extremely quiet and withdrawn kid, Russell nonetheless shows a strong sense of curiosity. It's not uncommon for him to poke into the conversation with a question before lapsing into his usual silence. He is generally hesitant, thoughtful, and melancholy in demeanor, though at times he can become more excitable and talkative when one of his special interests pops up, such as rabbits, video games, and sea creatures. Once engaged on one of them, he will espouse about the given subject at length, eager to show off the information he has learned and engage with someone else who shares his interests. Still, between the usual hesitancy, occasional cryptically morose verbiage, grave warnings, frequent apologies, and genuine surprise when anyone expresses trust in him, it's clear a heavy sense of guilt weighs upon him at all times, though only a select few so far are privy to the cause. At times, he also shows a great mistrust for those around him, as well as a difficulty understanding the concept of people expressing genuine kindness and support to him without having a hidden motive or expecting a repayment of some sort. Between this, an alarming level on nonchalance in the face of distressing topics, and knowledge on many things a kid has no right knowing about, it's clear he's had a hard past, though even fewer know the full extent of it. He repeatedly expresses a genuine desire towards self-improvement, though at times flickers of the now usually repressed jealousy and anger can still be seen. He has a rather strange behavior of sometimes glancing off into empty space or reacting as if hearing something, despite there being no sound apparent. Perhaps most ironically within his current division, he initially expressed an intense paranoia regarding eyes and the feeling of being watched. He also displays an intense fixation with dreams, fantasy otherworlds, and, most mysteriously of all given his evident self-hatred, reflections and doubles. It is this last trait that has led him to joining Rorrim Saccellum in the first place.
