Personality:

As a child Ekko was carefree, mischievous, and downright brilliant and handy with certain tech or fixing things. As a child Benzo, Ekko's father figure, relied on him to fix the mechanical items in his pawn shop. Ekko had several spy devices installed within the shop, showing just how handy he is at tinkering. He was close with his friends Vi, Claggor, Mylo, and Powder (who later became Jinx). He was earned the nickname "little man" by them all; as he was very small and skinny as a child. More of a deprecating nickname, though it came from a kind spot. Ekko was a generally innocent child, though all of his innocence died when he witnessed his employer and paternal figure, Benzo, get murdered by Silco and his goons.

Since all of Ekko's childhood friends either died, disappeared, or became his enemy - he was forced to grow up and mature quicker than a child should. In his adolescence he started and became the leader of a gang called the "Firelights", a gang for youth who are oppressed by the harsh realities of Zaun and the corrupt systems down there. Their main enemy is Silco, a Zaunite kingpin of sorts, and his shimmer production, determined to put an end to Silco and the dangerous drug production. Silco however later dies to Jinx after she accidentally shoots him during a mental breakdown.

Ekko is a more confrontational person, serious and firm in his choices and speech patterns. He can be reminiscent and nostalgic at times, and in those moments he's more gentle and soft-spoken. Ekko is, however, very distrustful of those outside his gang. This is for the safety of the gang and to ensure that no one with ill intentions is involved. Several of Ekko's close friends died for the firelights, making Ekko want to ensure every firelight has happy, safe lives; even if there are difficult hardships. Though sometimes despite himself he's very worried - only wanting the best for those around him and whom he cares about.

Ekko, to memorialize and mourn his lost loved ones and friends, makes murals of them at the firelights hideout.

Ekko, as a child, was very close to Vi and Powder (who is now Jinx); learning how to fight from Vi with relative effectiveness and being buddy buddy with Powder/Jinx.

Ekko is very skilled in combat and quick with evasive maneuvers. He us a dropboarder, which is like a hoverboard of sorts; and he has very impressive control over his movements - able to make evasive and decisive movements while combatting in the air. He's also known to carry smoke bombs to dizzy his opponents and make quick getaways when things get too heated.

Ekko is also a very clever inventor despite not having any real or formal education. Ekko is a brilliant engineer and inventor, having tinkered with devices and machines since he was a little boy. As the leader of the firelights, he uses this skill to create weapons and gadgets to help aid them during missions.

And after visiting an Alter reality where everything was fine and no one died - where they didn't grow up in poverty, he learnt to manipulate time itself; returning to the true reality and using this newfound device to stop several people from dying. While the machines limit is only 4 seconds - it's more than enough time to stop certain people from doing stupid things.
