Editing Tecton (section)

==Personality==
Everett is a natural leader, but he is just as willing to defer leadership to someone else as he is to take it upon himself. He is understanding and empathetic in nature, which lends to his tendency to mediate conflicts between team members. Above all else, he is fair. He stands for justice, even if it means bending the rules on occasion, although he ultimately trusts his superiors and their reasoning.<ref name="19.3 e1">“Worrying about him is fine,” I said, and the image of Grue sitting at the base of the wall flickered through my mind’s eye, “But the best thing you can do for Raymancer is get through this thing alive, and when you’re done, you can do your job as team leader and find someone who can help him.”<br/><br/>“Myrddin will do that.”<br/><br/>“Maybe,” I said.  “But are you really willing to trust the well-being of your teammate to a supervisor?  Wouldn’t it feel better to handle it yourself?”<br/><br/>“Unless I have reason not to, I’ll rely on Myrddin and I’ll feel better doing that,” Tecton replied.  “All of this, this whole scenario, the organization of it all, it doesn’t work unless there’s a measure of trust.”<br/><br/>“Okay,” I said.  His reply had caught me off guard.  I hadn’t expected Tecton to have that kind of faith in his superiors, and I couldn’t be sure if it was my own bias or naiveté on his part that were at fault for this gap in understanding.  Even if I were right, though, it wasn’t my place to ‘fix’ him.  “You lead the way you have to.  Sorry to make assumptions.”<br/><br/>“S’okay,” Tecton said.  “Doesn’t matter if you do or not.  I’ll just keep making sure you and your team don’t create trouble.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/scourge-19-3/ Excerpt] from [[Scourge 19.3]]</ref> <!--At least when he is first seen.{{Cite}}-->

Everett dislikes being referred to as a "tech geek" and resents the stereotype which accompanies his tinker classification.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> He still does not like to have his intelligence insulted, just like everyone else.<ref name="29.1">“Biting people is more satisfying,” Rachel responded.<br/><br/>“No, look… uh… Tecton.  You gotta give me something really smart and scientific sounding.  Like, say what Taylor said, but in smart-guy words.”<br/><br/>“Critical mistake here: you’re implying Tecton is smart,” Romp said.<br/><br/>Tecton sat up straighter.  “Hey.  Just because I’m not your team leader anymore-”<br/><br/>“-You’re totally not the one who gets to order me around,” Romp replied.  “Deal with it.”<br/><br/>[...]<br/><br/>“Maybe if I come with?” Tecton offered.  “I’ll distract whoever Dr. baby-talk is, and you can talk to Miss Militia about dosing your dogs.”<br/><br/>“Or you can tell me what you were going to write down and I memorize it,” Rachel said.<br/><br/>A few people in the group exchanged glances.<br/><br/>“Really simple solution,” Rachel said.  Except now she was talking to us like we were the idiots.<br/><br/>“I’m not sure I could memorize it,” Tecton confessed.<br/><br/>“The kid that’s running the lap said you weren’t that smart,” Rachel answered.  “Try me.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/venom-29-1/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.1]]</ref>

===Relationships===
==== [[Gully]] ====
Learned a lot from the Case 53, which helped him advance far and fast as a tinker.<ref name="19.3 e5"/>

==== [[Raymancer]] ====
A good friend of his; Tecton mourned his passing.
==== [[Weaver]] ====
First met Taylor when she was still Skitter. He became friends with the former villain and did a lot of work together, though whether they became real friends is an open question. She would replace his friend Raymancer as co-leader of the Wards, regardless of regulations given her probational status.
