OC drop!
Dareth is a longtime friend of Scott (of which before the latter would become friends with Chaofun later in life). While Scott is a brainiac who's interested in inventions and experiments (with video games being more for his free time), Dareth is a video game, action figure, and comic book collecting addict. One day, he moves into Scott's current town, but not before revisiting his long time pal, Scott, and becoming friends with Chaofun.
