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.

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.

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)

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.

Prey Tracker
Total Prey: Unknown

Detailed Record

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

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.
