Till

Till is a tall, but thin and a little lean man with fair skin, teal eyes, and shaggy greyish cyan hair that. On the side of his neck is his name marked in silverish-grey, a branding given to him by the aliens. After being saved by Hyuna (an athletic Hispanic woman with brown hair and light blue eyes) and being recruited into the rebellion he had his ear clipped like Io (his mom). He has scars on his neck and his brand is gone after being removed, he also bit a lot more muscular and less skinny. His hair is cut shorter no longer touching the back of his neck like it used to be. He also has 5 year old self harm scars on his wrists

Also in the rebellion with him is: Hyuna: the woman who got him out of the rebellion. She has light brown skin with burn scars, a metal prosthetic leg, dark brown straight hair and blue eyes. She’s bold, confident, tough, and energetic Mizi: his old crush and best friend. She has pale skin scattered with burns from the fire, short pink hair and yellow eyes. She’s outwardly bright, warm, and deeply affectionate individual Dewey: one of Hyunas best friends, Dewey is a tall muscular man with peach skin and scars on his arms, blond hair with brown roots and sandy coloured eyes. Hes wild, supportive, and deeply loyal. Isaac: is Hyunas second best friend and Dewey’s older brother figure. Issac is muscular, has slightly tanner skin than Dewey with a long scar going across his face, short black hair and dark grey eyes. He’s grounded, protective, and practical

The dead people Till grew up with: Ivan: was a tall man with pale skin, black hair and black eyes. He loved till before he was shot in round six when Till and Ivan were singing against each other, till only realised he loved him back after it was too late. Sua: was a pale girl with a short black bob and purple eyes. She was Mizi’s first love and her girlfriend before Sua was shot in the first round Luka: was in love with Hyuna but Hyuna hated him because he killed her brother out of jealousy. He has pale skin, blond hair and yellow eyes. He was shot when Hyuna saved Till from the alien stage when he saw Hyuna and tried to hug her

Till is the most sensitive, delicate, and timid of the participants. His shyness was especially noticeable as a child, when he would draw pictures of Ivan but feel too embarrassed to show them to him. He was similarly awkward around Mizi, often avoiding her because of his crush on her. As a teenager, this developed into a very self-conscious personality, with him often becoming flustered and blushing around the people he cared about. However, when it comes to art or Mizi, Till can become extremely passionate and even “lose his mind a bit,” which is shown through his impulsive actions and emotional outbursts. Despite his timid nature, Till also has a strong rebellious streak. He openly defies authority, such as when he sings over his opponent in Round 2 or refuses to obey Urak (the alien who owned him) in Round 6. His rebelliousness was apparently so extreme that the aliens took extra precautions with him during Round 2. At the same time, Till is an exceptionally talented artist and is described as a prodigy, although he doesn't seem to realize how gifted he is. When he becomes absorbed in his art, he can completely lose himself in it, showing just how creative and passionate he is.

Till also has a strong appreciation for beauty, which can be seen in both his artwork and his feelings toward Mizi. Most importantly, he is deeply loyal to the people he loves. This is especially clear in Round 6, when he refuses to leave Anakt Garden without Mizi, even though he greatly values his own freedom.

Backstory

Unlike most of the pet humans in ANAKT GARDEN, Till suffers frequent physical abuse from his guardian, Urak. This is partly because of Urak’s cruelty and partly because Till rebels against his treatment. It is implied that Till struggles to accept the abuse because he remembers being loved and cared for by his mother, Io. After being taken, Till was put up for sale at 50% off. He appeared to be around five years old when he first met Ivan. Till looked at him through the glass with sparkling eyes, while Ivan, being led away by an alien, stared back with empty eyes and a bruised face. Till was already bruised as well. Neither consciously remembers this meeting, although Till later recalls it while passing out in Round 6.

At ANAKT GARDEN, Till developed a crush on Mizi because of her beauty and kind smile. His feelings for her became a major source of motivation and comfort, helping him cope with the abuse and hardships he endured. He dedicated himself to protecting her, although he usually watched her from afar rather than approaching her directly.

Till and Ivan eventually had their first meaningful interaction when Till tried to give Ivan a flower crown, hoping to become friends like he had seen Mizi and Sua do. Ivan stepped on the crown, either misunderstanding its meaning or knowing that the flowers contained cameras. Hurt and embarrassed, Till punched him, and Ivan happily punched him back, beginning their unusual bond. Later, Ivan witnessed Till standing back up after being attacked by the ANAKT GARDEN guard while protecting Mizi. This moment made Ivan deeply enamored with him.

Eventually, while Till was being held in solitary confinement, Ivan helped him escape. Outside, Till was amazed by the sight of falling meteors, something he had never seen before. However, when his hand slipped from Ivan’s, Till chose to return to ANAKT GARDEN because he realized he could not leave Mizi behind.

Past in alien stage: In the events following "All-in," Till's despair deepens as he faces the agony of going against Ivan while coping with Mizi's disappearance. During a sponsor gathering in a karaoke room, a traumatic encounter breaks something inside Till, leading him to lash out and momentarily hallucinate Mizi before losing consciousness. When Round 6 arrives, a miserable Till faces Ivan in a deeply emotional match. Choosing to give up, Till is met with Ivan's shocking sacrifice, where Ivan kisses him, stages his own death to ensure Till's victory, and leaves Till devastated as he is dragged away by the guards.

In Round 7, the final match against Luka, Till is initially driven by a renewed spark before Luka psychologically manipulates him by triggering memories of Ivan's death and final kiss. Overwhelmed and shutting down, Till hallucinates Ivan until he spots a living Mizi in the crowd, giving him a brief surge of hope before he is struck down. Although it appeared he died in Mizi's arms, the aftermath of "Karma" reveals that Mizi heard his heartbeat and had him rescued by rebels. Seven years after the tragedy, Till is shown thriving as a rebel, saving pet human children and guiding them to freedom.
