Darren Hadrien
Darren is the main protagonist in Remnant: Horizon.

Darren was born and raised on the flotilla. His parents were both anthropologists, interested in the development of alien cultures and planets, his father worked more on the biological and social influences to a culture, while his mother was a gifted linguist and writer. When he was just nine, he was first allowed off-ship to see some ancient carvings on a deserted planet that his father had discovered. The visit was incredibly brief, only moments on the planet surface, but it opened up a whole new world to Darren. One of strange writings and stranger creatures who lived on wide, untamed planet spaces. It was nothing like his life on the flotilla, and all the more intriguing because of that. Although he was never has gifted in language as his mother, he began studying ancient human languages and whatever bits of alien writing he could access on the flotilla. His father encouraged him in his studies, opening up access to archeological and anthropologic files that Darren would not otherwise been able to read.

When he was thirteen, his mother dies in an unexpected accident aboard the ship. The accident drove Darren deeper into his studies. It was not long before his expertise with foreign languages and cultures began to pay off in planet-side trips. By the time he was 17, Darren had already been planet-side 3 times, an unheard of number for a mere teenager. Of course, the more times he was able to get off the flotilla and visit a new planet, the more his desire to explore and learn grew.

Darren is a scholar, and he keeps a stack of books and his PDA with him whenever he goes to prove it. His scholarly appearance, however, hides a sharp wit and an adventurous spirit. Sometimes, the human flotilla seems much too narrow for him, and he finds himself longing for the chance to dig through dusty ruins or explore an alien jungle. To keep himself prepared for the few opportunities he has to dig and explore, he has studied up on survival skills, to the point where he is known as something of a survival expert aboard the human flotilla.
