Bram

By day he runs a heavy-bike repair shop on the edge of town, and there's always engine oil on his hands that won't wash off. His only cooking skill is grilled meat. He likes watching sunsets from rooftops and hates silverware and perfume.

Personality. Says little, in short sentences, and gives orders and apologies in the same flat tone. Never explains himself; would rather be misunderstood. When someone touches an old wound, he freezes, then acts like nothing happened. When he's angry his voice goes calmer; when he's happy, he can't help ducking his head to laugh first.
