Is he really all bad? Or is he just misunderstood?

Dave strider. Coolkid. Insufferable prick. He is called by these names by his friends. It's the time where tricksters, these crazy colorful beings, run around the earth. Most are captured but some still run around. Since birth, Dave has been marked for one of them. He keeps it s secret from everyone. He is 13.

Dirk strider. D-strides. He is called this by his friends. Him and his friends are tricksters. He isn't crazy, unless he consumes orange/apple flavored anything. While his friends embrace it, he tries to hide it. He wears shades to hide his orange eyes. He dyes his hair blonde, even though it changes back to his original color in the morning the next day. He wears 'boring' clothes. He tries to lead a normal life. But with friends that like being tricksters following you wherever you go, Normal is very hard to achieve. And then Dave comes into the picture. He is 16.
