Field McKelvin

Field is a bit of a tech protege, which is a major asset to the success of The Convoy. The downside of this natural acuity for technology is that it often feeds into his lazy and materialistic tendencies. He’s able to hack, mod, jailbreak, wiretap, and jerry-rig pretty much anything out of whatever junk he can find on his journeys. This can be very helpful, but it can also lead to Field trying to cut corners. Joe would prefer Field use his genius to improve the world, but he usually just uses his breakthroughs to do his chores for him while he goofs off and tries to figure out how to get his hands on the latest fashion or tech release.

Field misses Big Pizza and the clothes, girls, tech, and junk food that went along with living there. Field feels the pull of the dark side of technology on him and often questions why his family would choose to live such a difficult life outside of the world of modern conveniences of Big Pizza. Despite his differences from Grass, Field is more than happy to get into trouble with her. He’s usually able to recruit her as his accomplice in his schemes by appealing to her recklessness. This is true even though, more often than not, these schemes only benefit Field. His journey involves his coming to terms with the responsibility of his incredible gift and realizing that sometimes it doesn’t pay to take the easy way out.
