Time Nomad

=Personality=

Originally from a world that no longer exists, the Nomad is very proficient in certain skills such as playing the guitar, certain ways of combat and gunslinging. He can summon three Proxies to aid him (which symbolize the Four Temperaments, the Nomad being the phlegmatic). Little is known about the Nomad's past, but from a quote from the Genie the Time Nomad was pacifistic.

Symbolism
The Time Nomad is a silent wanderer of distant worlds, in the game Middens they fill the role as the players proxy, an interpretation is that the Time Nomad is just like the player due to the world the Time Nomad wanders is foreign and usual. the Time Nomad is a place holder for yourself to step into and explore the world that was you both were set into, as you and the Time Nomad are both from a distant world in a different time. A take on the Genie's words towards the Time Nomad that the Time Nomad reminds them of the first person they shot is that the player acts in the world of Middens because they are bored, and are the ordinary person, toiling away waiting for a distraction, just as until the player acts out in violence they are trapped wandering the usual world searching for a purpose, until they die, or turn the game off, this could be a reflection on day to day life.

Where They Cremate the Roadkilll

The Time Nomad does not have a major role in this game, although he makes multiple cameos.

Firstly, he appears on numerous wanted signs throughout the game. Next, plushy of the Time Nomad, alongside a plushy of Gingiva, both appear on a bed in Takamoh's Magic Castle. When Coolie sleeps in the bed, his body goes numb and he is turned into a plushy. From this, one could speculate that the Time Nomad and Gingiva were both captured and turned into plushies as well. Lastly, upon defeating Coolie's Step-Self, they will be rewarded with the "Nomad's Helmet" as a wearable item.
