"That didn't happen
If it did happen it wasn't that bad
If it was that bad, it wasn't a big deal
And if it was a big deal, it wasn't my fault
And if it was my fault I didn't mean it
And if I did mean it, they deserved it."

|PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION|
A notably lanky individual of half Irish and Japanese descent, Brad stands at approximately 177 centimeters tall with chestnut brown eyes and unkempt ash brown hair. Though relatively low maintenance at first glance, this outward haggard appearance doesn't extend to any neglection of personal hygiene. Brad speaks with a subtle Boston accent, which only becomes more profound during times of physical and mental duress. His ectmorphic build denotes adequate physical conditioning, but offers more in terms of agility than raw physical strength.

|MENTAL PROFILE|
Coming from humble beginnings, Gideon views himself as a very mediocre at best mercenary. Though he believes that the reasons for the path he's chosen in life are different from those he surrounds himself with, this is merely a false sense of security - a façade. Though his paternal instincts do supercede his desire for wealth and fame, there is a cognitive dissonance between his views of his actions as being justifiable and his desire for being held accountable for the crimes he has committed previously. Despite this, his absolutism distinguishes those that he's killed before are merely obstacles in his way, displaying little remorse in the short term for the deaths he's directly responsible for. Conversely, his dry sense of humor and rapport with the fellow denizens of Sendai are a source of endearment that he prides himself with. Though extremely confident in is abilities, one of his biggest fears is being called out for his inexperience, indicating signs of impostor syndrome. Furthermore, since 2115, Gideon has developed an aversion to large crowds of people; these situations having proven to evoke a strong psychological response in the form of anxiety and panic attacks. Demonstrating signs of detachment from reality, Gideon is also prone to bouts of daydreaming and disassociation of what's going on around him in certain social situations. Perhaps Gideon's biggest flaw of all, however, is his inability to accept the past. Despite being missing for nearly three years, Gideon has never given up in his search for his missing wife Kasumi, despite the fact that she could very well be dead or moved on past him. Perhaps what Gideon seeks the most is closure, whether it be through the finality of death or otherwise. |

Kasumi Yoshihara:
Yukino Yoshihara: I love you more than life itself. Without you, I have nothing left to fight for. I hope that one day you'll understand what I've done and the sacrifices I've made to protect you. This has always been about you.
Charlotte Smith: Even though you're as much of a gremlin as they come? I can respect the story and the attitude. I don't think anything brings you down and you're one of the most down to earth people I've met in Sendai. I hope it all works out for you, Charlotte. You've always been good to me and I was sincerely glad that you survived our trip to the Free States. You've earned my respect and admiration.
Kumiko: I don't even know where to begin with you. You're a wildcard and I would've never expected to find the likes of you here in Sendai. But you know what? I'm glad you're here. You're a visual reminder of what's waiting for me back at home. Despite you're age, you're truly one of the most accomplished combatants I've encountered here in Metro-1. If there's anybody I would want my daughter to look up to besides me? I'm glad to say that person is you. Keep on shining, you fucking legend.
Arthur: We don't talk much. I can tell that we exist on two very opposite worlds. However, there are times when our paths cross and you somehow manage to pull me out of the fire everytime. I don't know what kind of trouble you've gotten yourself into in the past that gets everyone so riled up - and quite frankly I don't care. I'm glad that we're on good terms, even though we haven't had much time to speak since after our mission in FSA. I definitely owe you more than just a beer, friend.
Jinji Ryoshi: You're one of my co-workers. Like Arthur, we haven't had much time to speak to one another. However, I can't thank you enough for getting me out of the hole I was in with Rei. Everytime I draw my blade in the defense of myself and others? I'll always be thinking about you and what you did for me. I'll find some way to make it up to you, I promise.
Monika Schnee: One of the first people I spoke to after returning to Sendai after a month. I've been told I have you to thank for patching me up awhile ago after that botched mission I went on in the apartment building. Seeing as how I've still got all of my pieces and parts? I can confidently say that I'll definitely come back to you again if I'm in a jam. Seeing as how you're with HELIOS? That makes it all the more better.
John 'Slayer' Tarro: We've gone on a job together before and I can tell you're competent fighter. I know you have some sort of agreement with Noelle, so I can respect the hustle, too. I wish you nothing but good fortune - just try not to be so pushy and forward about it.
Rebecca Yoker: There are only a handful of people who I can say I'd be willing to work with time and again - Rebecca's one of them. We've pulled each other out of the fire in separate occasions, so we've developed a sort of rapport with one another. I confide to Rebecca more than other people because I know I can trust her - a rather invaluable commodity these days. Not to mention she's shacked up with my closest ally, Noelle. She's a formidable fighter and an even better friend; I honestly can't think of anything really negative to say about her. She is also kinda cute, not gonna lie.
Claudia Crespo: I give you a lot of shit, but I know you're more real than I can ever be. You're one of the first people I met when I first returned to Sendai. You've vouched for me and we've bled together countless times. I don't see you as often as I wish I could, but I admire how you're free in every way that I'm not. I hope you take care of yourself -- god knows you're one of the best gadget technicians out there.
Hala: Alright, I'll admit it: You're an anomaly to me. That doesn't mean that I don't recognize your combat acumen and ability to produce results. You lay down the hurt when there's hurting to be done. I also know that anybody who picks a fight with you is certainly good as dead. So long as we both see eye-to-eye? I don't care who you are or what you do. I just wonder how the view is from that pile of corpses you've left behind in your wake...
Jiro Aki: I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was in-charge of the fucking homeowners association here in Sendai. Everyone knows Jiro and they listen to him, which means that there's some history that I don't know about. He seems pretty chill. He's also a fellow member of the Council of the Duck. All around decent guy.
Mika Sekiuchi: Met this guy in passing, but he seems pretty cool. Had nothing but nice things to say about my 'performance' awhile ago. He seems like a guy who knows people in high places. I'll have to keep an eye on him.
Raul Kirk: There isn't much to say about Kirk besides the fact that he's somewhat of an unofficial leader to the members of the community -- he has absolutely no idea why. Though, his big friendly giant demeanor leaves little room for doubt in his ability to keep these people in line. From what I've come to understand, the guy's a fucking legend around these parts. I've met a lot of legends myself, but nobody like Raul Kirk. We have a functional business relationship and he's always willing to listen to my suggestions, so he's more than just alright in my book.
Noelle Cereova: You really haven't changed, have you? After all these years, you still remembered me when I returned to Sendai like a stray dog. You took me in and gave me my old job back. It's a shame that you're the only person left from that time that remembers me. I'll do my best to give back the same hospitality you've given me, boss. I'm just more than glad to see you again.
Reece: My other boss. I have nothing but respect for her because she actually understands my methodology. She doesn't expect anything else from me other than results. Thankfully, I'm more than happy to oblige. Because of her, I know that my daughter's future is secured in the right hands. Now all that's left is to see out the rest of my employment - however long that lasts...
Jess: A pretty chill street ninja who definitely has a better handle on things than I do. She's augged to high hell and I know I probably wouldn't last five minutes in a fight with her. However, she was prepared to leave our teammates behind on the only job I've been on with her. As a rule, I generally take that kind of thing personally -- knowing full well that she could very well do the same to me at any point.
Denis: My good friend Denis just gets it. He's an expert in things associated with the blade and he's the first person I go to for all of my pointy death stick needs. Not to mention he brews a fantastic tea; I'll have to invite him to the family bar sometime. It goes without saying that he's a pretty awesome dude.
Big thanks to Ronan and Naze for the sheet form.
