CHARACTER 63 // THE ISRAELI INVENTOR
Noam Starling
A designer of ingenious small devices. Quick-moving. A specific creative individual, not a stand-in for a nation or a religion.
Tradition or identity: Israeli.
Olive skin and short dark curls; a cobalt utility jacket over a white shirt; Israeli flag colours on a shoulder patch and a Star of David on his equipment case (accurate and deliberate, not everywhere); tools in his pockets.
A comic showman built from one description, not a spokesperson for a nation, faith or people. National colours and symbols appear only where the founder specified them, drawn accurately and deliberately, never as shorthand for everyone who shares the identity.
Noam Starling is one of 144 characters in the DEFROST.WORLD cast.
