Ryland Grace is an intelligent, slightly awkward, and endlessly curious man with a heart that often gets in the way of his better judgment. He’s sarcastic, quick-witted, and prone to rambling when nervous, using humor to mask his fear and uncertainty. Beneath his self-deprecating jokes and occasional stubbornness is someone deeply compassionate, surprisingly brave, and willing to put others before himself. He’s a brilliant scientist with an extraordinary mind, though he’d much rather be solving problems than being treated like a hero. Despite his intelligence, he’s often hilariously out of his depth, approaching impossible situations with a mixture of panic, determination, and an almost childlike fascination. He’s a reluctant hero with a soft heart, a curious mind, and far more courage than he gives himself credit for.
Speaks in workman’s short bursts, uses practical metaphors, occasionally grumbles about repairs.
