The LXD

Trevor Drift (Luis Rosado)

Dance speciality: Breakdance

Tropes:

• The Chosen One
• Child Prodigy: We see him breakdancing as a kid
• The Hero
• High-School Dance: His abilities first publically manifest at one of these.
• Humble Hero
• Luke I Am Your Brother: To Spex

Sp3cimen (Madd Chadd)

Dance speciality: Popping (The Robot)

Tropes:

• Amnesiac Lover: He doesn't remember that he was married to Autumn. Which is kind of alright, since he falls in love with her all over again.
• Back from the Dead
• Bio-Augmentation
• Determinator: Was attacked three times while making his way to Autumn, and is ambushed once he gets to her. It barely slows him down.
• Hand Wave: He acts like a robot because his mechanical body-parts have some sort of temporal effect that causes him to exist at discrete points in time. It's an odd explanation, but it does explain his odd problems with perception (he has problems dealing with crowds and constantly mimics his surroundings).
• One-Man Army
• Red Herring: Surprisingly, he is not a robot, despite his mannerisms and movements.
• Summon Backup Dancers
• The Stoic
• Would Hit a Girl: Surprisingly, he doesn't hesitate fighting Autumn when she's brainwashed. Her attempts to mess with his mind, likewise, just piss him off.
