HISTORY:Link to wiki
PERSONALITY:Despite being a character who is literally introduced to canon as a corpse, and has a limited amount of screen time in the two seasons that cover the period where he was alive, Agent North Dakota has managed to leave a lasting impression as the kind of character who is calm, patient, and just generally a good guy. The kind of guy that you might want as a big brother.

One of the key words used in canon to describe North is nurturing and that is a very good word for him. He's the caretaker of the freelancers, generally the one to check on people and make sure they're alright. Most of his attention is focused on his younger twin sister, Agent South Dakota, who he is very close to. The two of them are seen regularly working together as a team, often putting themselves in harms way to look after the other. South is very much a loose canon compared to North, and so he is the one that often reins her back in. The two of them have a very strong bond and work well together, though North is also seen as a team player regardless. This nurturing aspect makes him a prime candidate for the AI Theta, with whom he is partnered. As a more childlike AI, Theta was very shy and it was hoped that North would be able to bring the AI out of his shell and unlock his potential.

At the same time, North isn't afraid to have a little fun, and is seen to have a good relationship with Agent York and Agent Washington, though he and the former were known to tease the latter. (In the guidebook published by Roosterteeth, it was revealed that North and York would often provide Wash with conflicting directions to the mythical sauna on board the Mother of Invention). He also has a sarcastic streak to him, snarking during battle and wondering aloud as to why he is friends with Wash and York. He's also shown to be willing to take risks, even on the battlefield.

There are times, however, when his nurturing and caring nature become too much, and can shift into being condescending and overbearing. This is particularly evident in his relationship with South, as he tries to step in and control, for lack of a better term, her more abrasive actions, typically by talking to her and acting as if he knows best. He also takes his responsibilities very seriously and to the point of self-harm, as he is reluctant to pull Theta out of his head in order to get some sleep, the AI being too scared to be away from North, leaving him to wander the halls to calm the AI down.

He does also have doubts and worries, particularly in whether or not he's doing the right thing, and if Project Freelancer is doing the good they believe to be doing. Once presented with the truth however, he does act against the Project, and his sister, by supporting Agent Texas with her break-in to rescue the Alpha AI. It is presumed that he leaves the Project after this, going rogue with South and keeping Theta, determined to protect those closest to him. While South is later taken on again as a Recovery agent, it is not known if North knows this or what his status was at the time of his death.

As North will be coming into the game without Theta, this will have an effect on his well-being. While canon does not go into detail about what happens when an AI is removed from their host (the most we get is that they are different, though that is not expanded upon), I have headcanoned a few traits. Internally, the agent registers a noticeable silence/static and absence where the AI used to be, and it can lead to a desire to not wanting to be alone as a way of avoiding it. They may also appear melancholy, missing the presence of the friend who was once a constant companion. With North in particular, he may be inclined to further find ways to look after others, disregarding himself, as a way of dealing with the situation.

Ultimately, while he can be over-bearing, North is the kind of character who cares about his friends and doing the right thing. Befriend him, and you'll have someone who will watch your back.

CANON POWERS: While North does not possess any powers himself, his armour is equipped with a shielding unit run by his AI, Theta. He can create a domed energy shield that can also be modified to protect certain areas or entrap enemies. Without Theta, North will be unwilling to use this aspect of his armour, as it runs the risk of injuring himself.

CRAU INFO: n/a
MAGIC ABILITY: Harden - by touching any surface, North will be able to harden it, the idea being that he would be able to create a shield from anything. The item he touches would become 2 times harder than it currently is. Works on solids, not on liquids. (For example, he would be able to freeze a mud puddle but not stop a stream).
ANY WEAPONS/MAGICAL ITEMS?: North will be bringing in his sniper rifle and ammo.
ANY PETS?: n/a
