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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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)[edit | edit source]
- Be a force for good acknowledged across the galaxy.[5]
Hooks (Armour Astir)[edit | edit source]
- Be the hope that crosses the stars.[6]
- The ends can't justify the means, or we're no better than who we're fighting.[6]
- Ask the questions other people won't.[6]

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]
During the Questlandia game, Levi achieves his goal (to become a force for good acknowledged across the galaxy) with flying colours. By leading a number of successful operations, he earns himself a series of quick promotions, leaving the crew of the Blue Channel and eventually leading his own crew, the Starcrossed Brigade.[6]
During "Some New Thing Found in the Light", Levi is the one to bring Blue Channel back together for the final Sortie.[7]
