Growing up in a lower-income section of Absalom Station as the youngest of eight siblings, Dwinite learned to make the most of what’s available to him. It’s no surprise that he embraced the message of stardock rock, as he saw firsthand how life turns out when you’re left with the scraps of society. It was during the long hours spent listening to music and tinkering on what tech he could get his hands on that he realized he heard melodies other than what was streaming through his datapad. He could hear the songs within every processor and microchip. More than that, he learned how to make music of his own, pulling energy from
his tech, putting ideas back into it, and calling upon the magical notes and rhythms in each spark of electricity.

Dwinite spent several years perfecting his ear for the music in the tech, and stardock rock served as his soundtrack the entire time. He held a string of various jobs on the station—data entry, computer support, and cashier at an electronics shop, to name a few—all while taking night classes to study the science of acoustics.

One fateful day, Dwinite bumped into fellow classmate Nuya Pei at one of Absalom Station’s many scrapyards when they both were searching for spare parts to use in a class project. Dwinite was hunting for discarded data modules from which he could extract distorted sound files, while Nuya wanted broken speakers and amplifiers that she could strip down and rebuild. The two spent the afternoon helping each other look and quickly bonded over the subject of stardock rock. They went to a few concerts together and a few weeks later, Nuya introduced Dwinite to Zhane Amellu, as the lashunta was putting together a band. It didn’t take long for the ysoki to become Neon & Noqual’s keyboard player.

On stage, Dwinite calls upon his magic to create immense shows of sparks and fire in accordance with the music. He is generally upbeat, and he has fun modulating his backup vocals with new and interesting techniques.

Dwinite is just as peppy off stage, always looking on the bright side of things and walking with a spring in his step. He’s willing to help others when he can, as he’s used to pitching in whenever possible due to his upbringing in such a large family.

Dwinite looks up to Zhane almost like an older brother, though the ysoki sometimes wonders if the lead singer’s ambitions will eventually lead the band into a situation they can’t get out of. He would, of course, enjoy the comforts that fame would bring the group, but Dwinite wants to make sure they don’t forget about the roots of stardock rock. He has yet to express this view to anyone else, as he recognizes it as an unfounded fear for the time being.

Despite their seemingly disparate personalities, Dwinite and Sem Syletar Salumin get along surprisingly well. During quiet moments, the two share stories of their past, comparing Dwinite’s large family to Sem’s “found” kin from her mercenary company.
