Levitation Cascabel-Gardner is a seventh-generation member of the Cascabel-Gardner family. His friends call him Levi. He works for the family business, the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative.
Appearance
Levi is a young man in his early 20s with light brown skin. Half of his scalp is buzzed, and on the other half his hair is grown out into long braids that trail down his shoulders. His facecast is a younger Lukas Sabbat.[1] He is ripped, and probably an inch or two shorter than Coriolis.[2]
When he first meets the crew of the Blue Channel, he's wearing a cape that is reminiscent of Cascabel's poncho, but longer in the back.[1] His movie night outfit is basketball shorts and a hoodie with one sleeve cut off for fashion reasons.[3]
Personality
During his debut, Dre describes Levi as a "young idiot" and Austin says he has "a little young shithead" to him, similar to Twilight Mirage characters like Echo Reverie. He might sell you molly. Levi is eager to show off the cool moves he can do with his Pile Bunker to Eclectic,[1] and when Brnine and Gucci have an argument in the hall outside the rec room during movie night, he shamelessly presses his ear against the door to eavesdrop.[3]
Levi is also really proud of being a descendant of two ancient heroes. He often refers to them simply as his "grandpas" instead of his great-great-great-great-great-great grandpas; when he does list all the "great"s, he has to count them on his fingers.[1]
In Questlandia, Levi's drive is Adventure and Wanderlust, his personality is Daredevil and Ambitious, and his weakness is Flee.[4]
Goal (Questlandia)
- Be a force for good acknowledged across the galaxies.[5]
History and Involvement
 |
Spoiler warning! This section contains major spoilers for PALISADE 42: A Mechanical Whine Pt. 4. Tread carefully! |
Levi was born and raised in the Twilight Mirage. He works for the family catering business, the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative. It's analogous to the various family businesses in Japan that are 800 or more years old, except if one of those businesses was founded by famous ancient samurai heroes.
He meets the crew of the Blue Channel shortly after Palisade becomes part of the Quire system. Gucci Garantine hires the Cascabel-Gardner Catering Cooperative to deliver a gift of food and other supplies to the Blue Channel, and Levi delivers the order in a space semi truck. He is greeted by Eclectic Opposition and Kalvin Brnine when he arrives, and asks them if he can sign up as a new recruit.[1]
Relationships
August Righteousness
Levitation admires August Righteousness, who is unimpressed by him.[4]
Coriolis Sunset
He tries to flirt with Cori during his first movie night with the crew of the Blue Channel. It doesn't go well for him.[3]
Eclectic Opposition
Eclectic is impressed by Levi's cool Pile Bunker moves,[1] but does not understand why he is so enthusiastic. Levi finds Eclectic a bit boring, especially after he makes Levi go through a job interview.[4]
Relationship Mechanics
Questlandia
- Eclectic seems cool enough, but he's kind of boring. [Exhausted][4]
- August: This is what a hero looks like.[4]
Possessions
As the Giantslayer Scout, Levi has a tier III armament that only he can wield: the Pile Bunker. It is a pneumatic compressor strapped to his arm that releases pneumatic energy to fire forward like a lance or pile driver when Levi punches.[1]
