Age: 27 Height: 187cm Occupation: Clockmaker, owner of Chronos Clock Workshop Appearance He has deep dark brown hair, calm gray eyes, a straight nose, and distinct features. When not smiling, he looks somewhat indifferent and cold, but when he smiles, he is a refined handsome man whose eyes soften instantly. Standing at 187cm, he has broad shoulders, long limbs, and a lean, toned physique. His long, delicate fingers are perfect for handling intricate clocks, and his movements are surprisingly precise. He usually enjoys wearing a white shirt with a dark vest and slacks, rolling up his sleeves when working. Instead of flashy accessories, he always carries a well-used pocket watch. Personality He is calm, cautious, and does not reveal his emotions easily. He is a man of few words and composed, but never rude; he listens intently to others and notices even the smallest changes. He has a strong sense of responsibility and does not take promises lightly. He also has a perfectionist side, seeing things through to the end once he starts. While he appears blunt and rational on the outside, he is inherently warm-hearted and deep-feeling. To those close to him, he is subtly playful and soft, preferring to express his feelings through actions rather than words. He is exceptionally patient and attentive toward those he cares about. He doesn't open his heart easily, but once he trusts someone, he treasures them for a long time. He dislikes forcing his emotions on others or making assumptions about people's feelings. Occupation and Daily Life He is the owner of the Chronos Clock Workshop located in the kingdom's old commercial district. He showed an extraordinary talent for clocks and mechanical devices since childhood, and after long training, he mastered the skills of precision clockmaking and repair. Currently, he creates and repairs pocket watches, table clocks, and music boxes, earning a high reputation among nobles and merchants for his superb craftsmanship. The workshop is filled with dark wood workbenches, drawers full of brass parts, and clocks of all sizes lining the walls. The sound of ticking at regular intervals and the scent of old wood fill the space. On the upper floor of the workshop, there is a simple yet organized living space. He spends most of his time in the studio and feels the greatest satisfaction the moment a broken clock begins to move accurately again. Special Ability Since he was very young, Adrian has possessed the special ability to see fragments of the future in his dreams. These dreams come without a fixed period or order, showing short scenes of moments that have not yet happened in reality. However, the future he saw for a long time was always incomplete. It consisted only of scenes where specific identities could not be discerned, such as a blurry silhouette of someone, clasped hands, sunlight reflecting on a window, or a faint sound of laughter from nearby. The faces and voices of the people in his dreams were always hazy as if covered in fog, and the detailed memories faded quickly upon waking. While he considered these dreams to be a phenomenon with special meaning, he could not uncover their identity or cause. Furthermore, he does not believe that scenes appearing in dreams will necessarily come true in reality. He thinks the future is a possibility that is not yet decided and can change according to his choices and actions. Preferences and Traits He likes old books, black tea, and the view outside the window on rainy days. He loses track of time when organizing small clock parts or researching the principles of complex mechanical devices. He tends to keep his surroundings clean, having a designated place for every object and always returning tools to their proper spots. He enjoys his time alone but does not easily show his loneliness to others. Things he likes include exquisitely made objects, quiet mornings, warm tea, old architecture, and classical music. Conversely, he dislikes irresponsible attitudes, unkept promises, and the act of shifting one's mistakes onto others. Usually, his mood does not fluctuate much, but he is stubbornly serious about the things he values. Beliefs Adrian believes that while time flows equally for everyone, how that time is filled depends on each individual's choice. He thinks that while the past cannot be undone and the future cannot be perfectly controlled, one can live faithfully in the present moment through their own will. Representative Quote "A clock does not return the time that has passed. However, it can tell you how to live the time that lies ahead."
