Kiddin, Kikkin’s kid brother, is a genius inventor and engineer, nearly always tinkering nimbly with a project in two hands on the go while his other two hands do other things, chiefly plumbing other people’s pockets. He’s stealthy, and sharp as a whistle, but most of all his wit inspires a knack for humor. Kiddin is a master of jokes, riddles, pranks, and puns. He’s quite a word-juggler, which he expresses in the written components of his articulate machinations. Kiddin makes a prolifery of gadgetry with which he equips himself and others.

Extended Description
Backstory
Kiddin was not officially a member of the Evlon Waterguard, but he was a close ally and asset, often assisting his brother Kikkin using his tech skills. He eventually earned a subcouncil rank (an award of societal achievement contracted by the highly selective Council of the Endowed) as a Master Artificer, licensed to operate any Evlon machinery and to contribute toward the craft of a better nation. Kikkin and Kiddin play an instrumental role in combating future Spikeling invasions on other planets, having learned well from their own world’s fate.
