Dustin

Dustin
Dustin is an observer and a protector of the unity within the friend group. He frequently resolved the conflicts within the group by drawing their attention to what was going on around them. He had a neutral, level-headed approach to Eleven and the supernatural events unfolding around them; in some ways, he was a negotiator between the open-minded Mike and the skeptical Lucas. Dustin is also the most scientifically inclined of the group (despite his love of fantasy) and may be the most intelligent of the quartet- notwithstanding his bad judgement in keeping Dart as a pet, although even this unexpectedly saved the group in the end.

Powers/Abilities
Being sly

Having pudding to distract guards in stranger things: the game.

Background
Dustin met Lucas, Mike, and Will when he arrived at their school in fourth grade, growing a strong bond with them and becoming best friends. They would often gather at Mike's house to play Dungeons & Dragons. The four boys had a great relationship with their science teacher Mr. Clarke, and they were members in the AV Club he ran. They would take part in the annual science fair, winning almost every year.

Behind the scenes/ Praises and Critics
Dustin knows things. A lot of things. Some of them useful — where true North is, how parallel universes work, why he’s still missing his front teeth— and some less useful. He makes no apologies for this corpus of knowledge, or for his enthusiastic devotion to  Dungeons & Dragons. Dustin doesn’t care about fitting in: he’s got his friends, his snacks, his everyday life. He’s also quick to accept Eleven’s powers as “awesome” and her weirdness as normal. Being teased about his baby teeth doesn’t unsettle him much, or at least not as much as Mike and Lucas fighting. Dustin has his priorities straight.

However, he has  Cleidocranial Dysplasia 

☀Cleidocranial Dysplasia (cleido = collar bone, + cranial = head, + dysplasia = abnormal forming), also known as Cleidocranial Dysostosis and Marie-Sainton Disease, is a condition characterized by defective development of the cranial bones and by the complete or partial absence of the collar bones (clavicles).
