Name: Dennis Charles Fenway, Nicknamed 'Baro.'
Age: 37.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Clad in a simple mechanic's jumper and often bearing his signature blue respirator, Dennis has long showed the accolades behind his role as an engineer. His rugged outfit bears rolled up sleeves and a flared out collar, leading to his face. His pale face is framed by a long mane of blond hair, showing a pockmarked, plain expression. His soft features, light colors, and gentle marring make him appear much unlike the type to actually be a mechanic, but due to the occasional spattering of grease in his hair reminds people of what he is there for. Figure wise, Dennis is a slightly shorter man, standing around 5'7." His frame is relatively small, with sloped shoulders and baggier clothes to hide it all. But life as a hands-on engineer like him has led to strong, tones arms and legs.
Equipment: Often carries around a modified lead pipe, bearing a drilled out hold for a lanyard and an extra cap screwed onto the end for a better, weightier swing. On his back is usually his old utility pack, acting as a veritable toolbox. All sorts of tools are within, from hammers, to wrench kits, to screwdrivers of all assortments.
Useful Skills: Technical knowledge of onboard systems for basic survival. This includes plumbing and electrical knowledge, but by far his strongsuit lies in repairing and jury-rigging items for the group that could be considered useful. Another extremely useful quality is his experience with emergency situations and with on-site issues.
Personality: A rather helpful personality, Dennis typically comes of as a somewhat loud-mouthed personality. This quirk rarely lasts longer than a day, as he does his best to show his goodwill. He can be hard on people, but rarely without jest. All this positivity and joking, however, often times falls out of place and is exposed as a facade. Having witnessed several catastrophic events has, for all intents and purposes, scarred him. Often times, the laughter becomes all to obvious at trying to protect him from the monsters at night.
Backstory: Born to a small family of poor mining operators, Dennis comes by his background honestly. He grew up doing his best to help the family, go to school, and to get the education he needed to follow his familys footsteps as an engineer for all sorts of utilities companies. While many laughed at his enthusiasm for a job deemed inglorious, he took pride in the fact that he would be a cog in the machine of the people's daily lives. Without the plumber, after all, how would one get their water?
His persitence paid off when he got his degree and found a job in the mining facility that his parents had worked at for years. It was an odd life, for with his degree, he managed to oversee his folks operations in the place. But after watching a massive fire ignite a mining vessel, killing everyone onboard, he decided to reassign to the Blackdown Sewage plant, an underwater outpost where he earned the name 'Baro' after showing his liking to being under the sea. While none of his family died, he witnessed a massive loss of life, including close friends. Blackdown proved dirtier work, but rather calming until a large outbreak of Dysentery sent much of the place into lockdown for the better part of half a year. The event wasn't nearly as personal, but upon finding the disgusting effects of the disease and viewing them firsthand, he developed all the more paranoia on the world around him. One more reassignment. Halcyon Water Purification Station, located in the Rings of Saturn. There, he was impressed with the relatively lavish conditions, and he hoped all would go well for his new career as an on-site mechanic for the station. But of course, that didn't go to well, did it?
Not long after the outbreak, when all official enforcement left, Baro found himself alone in the stations command station. There, he set up a communications relay to try and figure out just what was going on in the world outside the plant. They had been abandoned, it seemed- and after years of no return, he has pretty much lost hope. Luckily, he has found that among the above-water drowned, there are still a few people left. He just hopes that he and this group don't become the next to fall into the path of bad luck that has plagued the sites he's worked on.
Other/Things to Know: Baro loves old-world cultures. Whether it be the old Greasers of the ancient american civilization, or the Australian wildmen, he loves it. By far his favorite, however, is the old norse cultures that his bloodline apparently traces back to.
