Primary Traits
Austin is rather cool and collected and is typically the most level-headed of the Royal Flush gang. He enjoys exploring nature and meeting new people.

However, Austin has an aggressive side that he typically shows off in fights. He lost his entire family and friends near the Mexican border and struggles to accept their gruesome deaths, as well as brutally killing the two men responsible for it.

Austin quickly bonds with Scottie, as the two are both homosexual and begin to form a bond right off the bat. The two help each other with their trust issues and accepting their pasts.

Abilities
Austin's ability allows him to manipulate sand, which is ever-present in the environment he is in. His use of sand manipulation to the degree that it's at is a result of avenging his family's deaths and killing a few Card Holders.
