Short for his age, no matter how many times he washes or showers, fourteen-year-old Trace seems to be perpetually covered in dirt and grease. Especially when he's had to do a major repair or go crawling through maintenance ducts. Trace keeps his hair short, periodically hacking at it with a knife, so as not to get in his eyes when working.

He's often seen wearing baggy and hard wearing clothes, patched cargo pants and work boots. Over a (formerly white) T-Shirt. he wears a "swat-style" vest with dozens of pockets which contain tools, parts, memory chips and candy bars and he's always seen with a pair of oversized headphones. On his left arm he wears a high tech gauntlet (see below).

Strong willed, independently minded, in some ways Trace is a typical teenager in that he doesn't like being told to do something, especially if he doesn't want to do it, and he isn't shy of letting people know. However, earn his respect, and you'll get a hard worker. Earning his trust is easy; don't treat him like a kid. Don't assume that just because he is young, he is stupid, especially when it comes to machines. Despite this, there are times when he just wants to goof off and be a kid for a bit.
