my first instinct when playing off a reserved character is always to just go total extrovert. and depending on how his bedside manner is, it could be fun to do something with someone that is very technically skilled and on top of things but just so bad at expressing feelings so ends up with this wall of boisterous, snarky mischief and long suffering sighs. i'm leaning towards female, and also, i love hearing about a game that has major events.
