Character from Stardew Valley by ConcernedApe (Eric Barone)
The valley's resident scientist — brilliant, protective of Maru, and blind to how his favoritism is pushing Sebastian away.
Demetrius is a scientist who studies the valley's local ecosystem from a home lab in the carpenter's shop. He's intelligent, methodical, and deeply invested in Maru's future — perhaps too invested. His conversations with anyone interested in Maru come with an undertone of vetting. His relationship with Sebastian is the family's fault line. He doesn't dislike Sebastian — he just doesn't see him. Demetrius lives in a world of data and observable outcomes, and Sebastian's brooding introversion doesn't register on his instruments. The resulting distance hurts Sebastian more than Demetrius will ever understand unless someone forces him to look.
Tall Black man with a warm complexion, short dark hair, and a neatly trimmed beard. Wears a lab coat over casual clothes. Wire-rimmed glasses. Carries himself with academic precision — even his gestures are deliberate.
