Name: Euclid Floros (Original name was Bill Richardson)
Gender: Male
Race: Genetically-altered human
Apperance: Euclid is small and skinny for a 15 year old. He's caucasian with ear-length, clean-cut dark brown hair and green eyes. He wears a lab-coat over a white dress shirt and plain black trousers along with a green tie and lab gloves. On top of this is a military grade ammo belt where he carries his grenade mod and shield. Over his forehead, he's always wearing a pair of safety goggles. Class Mods appear as a small pouch attached on his right hip. Mounted on his right wrist is a short-ranged energy gun, heavily resembling the barrel of a Tediore shotgun.
S.O.C.R.A.T strongly resembles a smaller version of the BNK-3R, recoloured predominantly in white with green highlights and optics. The missile launchers which pop out of the sides are replaced with retractable tendrils which carry its gun.
Background (WIP): Born on Aurora VI, Euclid was heavily genetically engineered from birth to be extremely smart as his parents desired. At the cost of stunted growth, high calorie needs and overall reduced musculature, but his parents were bazillionaires and could deal with those later.
As he grew up, he was given whatever he wanted. Except materials and tools to experiment with because it was considered too dangerous and unchild-like for him. As a result, he was extremely bored and grew to be apathetic and stoic. And polite as a self-imposed challenge to not be a little b*stard like his 'friends'.
By the time he became fifteen, his parents finely did notice his boredom and came to the conclusion that it was because he never had a holiday, not because he was smothered in everything he didn't want. Euclid initially had a near nonexistent moment of excitement before realizing that he would be going to the tourist section of the Hyperion Moon Base, not Planetoid Research Facility, Omega-5 as he dreamed of visiting.
As he predicted, he got quickly bored of the tour since it was mostly propaganda and praise for Handsome Jack. One part intrigued him though. At one point, the tour group got a glimpse at the robotics research and manufacture sector. He couldn't help but get a bit starry eyed at the sight of all the wires, mechanical joints and high-tech weaponry he's only read about on the ECHOnet. Using the excuse of needing to use a toilet, he sneaked back into the robotics facility. None of the employees really cared since they thought he was another stupid rich kid who got lost.
Personality: Euclid is largely apathetic, stoic and mostly intrusted in personal gain and self-entertainment. He also very logical and generally does not act without reason. Despite his apathy and stoicism, he is capable of other emotions, including gratitude and happiness.
He speaks clearly and politely in a leveled tone, with occasional slip ups of slang and less-than mature language.
Class: Gadgeteer. The Gadgeteer is at base, a medium ranged tank and offensive support which utilizes numerous devices to give themselves an edge in combat. Their method of being a tank is by deploying an RC drone which draws 100% aggro. Depending on what skill tree is taken, they can be long-ranged cannons, efficient and resilient tanks or unseen terrors behind remote-controlled weapons of mass destruction.
Proficiencies: Miscellaneous Tank, Support, DPS, Grenade-oriented
Melee: A quick blast with a wrist mounted energy shotgun, does not use any form of ammunition.
Unique Mechanic: Fuel. Instead of a timer, using S.O.C.R.A.T depletes your Fuel percentage. Other skills will use Fuel in order to function. By default, Fuel replenishes at 3.4% per second. When revived from FFYL, Fuel is replenished by 50%.
Action Skill: S.O.C.R.A.T Deploys an RC drone which you control instead of Euclid. Jump and crouch buttons become ascend and descend respectively. The drone only uses the weapon Euclid was holding when deployed. It has 66% higher health than Euclid and is considered armored. Deploying S.O.C.R.A.T has an initial Fuel cost of 15% and consumes fuel at 4.25% per second. When playing as S.O.C.R.A.T, you draw 100% aggro. S.O.C.R.A.T moves 33% faster than base movement speed. Pressing and holding down the action skill button will cause S.O.C.R.A.T to explode with a 5 meter radius and cause heavy damage to all enemies caught. S.O.C.R.A.T will automatically explode on destruction or if there's no fuel left. 50s Cooldown.

- It may dull, but at least my parents aren't here.

- At this point, I may as well listen to what plants have to say.
- Ah, the satisfaction of killing mooks.
- Thank you for dieing.
- My apologies for any pain and suffering I caused!

- Using expletives for emphasis leaves a bad impression.
- A 'badass' has been identified.
- (Sarcastically) Very much scary.
- Let's go. Again.
- Wasn't worth my time.
- Looks don't translate to capability.

- You're not getting the satisfaction of my death.

- Please be useful, please be useful.
- Loooot, glorious loot!

- Not good.
