OR

a non!mc reader and making mc a character within the plot?

Update: Thanks to the lovely @ladyevoly , I was made aware that Gideon in fact does have an in-game depiction! Therefore, this post has been updated accordingly 😊

Details:

Gideon was one of Caleb's dormmates at the Aerospace Academy and was introduced in Caleb's "Pathless Realm" Anecdotes story. At the conclusion of this story, Gideon had successfully passed his flight assessment and graduated from the Aerospace Academy. When the DAA had published their selection list, his name had been included.

After the Bloomshore District explosion, Gideon also believed that Caleb had died. But when he visited Caleb's grave in Caleb's "Painful Signal" memory and saw him there, he learned that Caleb was actually alive. Since their mutual connections had already grieved, Gideon agreed to keep Caleb's survival a secret.

Interesting Facts:

When the students depart for their break, it is inferred that both Gideon and Patrick (another dormmate) aren't from Linkon City. The story notes that Gideon and Patrick had boarded a train and waved goodbye to Caleb, who then boarded "the train to Linkon City" near the opposite platform.

At the graduation ceremony, the protagonist speaks with Caleb and references Gideon by name. So, it seems she is at least familiar with him.

Appearances List:

Main Story: Homecoming Wings: Vanishing Skyward: Unexpected

Main Story: Homecoming Wings: Vanishing Skyward: Blindfold

Main Story: Homecoming Wings: Night Unending: Funeral

Main Story: Homecoming Wings: Night Unending: Crossroads

Details:

Viper is a recurring character throughout the "Homecoming Wings" section of the Main Story. When he introduces himself to the protagonist, he refers to himself as "Caleb'sss friend" and that she can call him "Viper". Ironically, whenever Caleb and Viper interact, they're always antagonizing each other in some way. From what we've seen, Viper favors verbal attacks and/or insults while Caleb relies on a combination of Evol and physical strength.

To Viper, Caleb's constant need to protect the protagonist is obsessive and overprotective (hence the nickname "Mr. Overprotective"). In contrast, Viper seems to find entertainment by merely toying with the protagonist since the Professor had apparently said it wasn't "time to go after her yet". He seems offended by the idea that the protagonist is the "perfect vessel", saying she "doesn't even look as good as us unfinished products".

When Viper appears at Mia's funeral, he infers that Kevi was rescued by the Fleet because "he hasss sssomething more valuable" than the Aether Core fragment/Spatium Core. When she asks if what happened to Kevi was caused by his ability to use an Aether Core, Viper tells her not to be "too sssupicious". But since he says "aeeing her manipulated like this" was annoying, he ultimately helps her figure out what had been done to Kevi.

Physical Characteristics:

Other than his greenish-gray hair (said to be loosely tied), many of Viper's physical characteristics are either distinctly snake-like/snake-themed or suggest he is technologically enhanced in some way. I've included lists of these traits below.

Though it has yet to be clarified if he is an android/humanoid robot or a cyborg/cybernetically enhanced organism, various Main Story scenes suggest that Viper is able to feel physical pain.

Snake-like/Snake-themed Characteristics:

Gray eyes with white slit pupils.

A forked tongue that darts in and out of his mouth

His pronunciation of "s" is consistently prolonged, reminiscent of a snake's hiss

In combat, the protagonist describes him as "tough and quick" adversary who moves "like a grayish-green serpent"

In his picture (right), he is depicted as having snake bite piercings (top left, bottom left).

Technological Enhancement Characteristics:

(When pistol whipped) Wires, metal bits, and a bunch of tiny bolts burst out of his head, littering the ground in scattered electrical equipment.

(When pistol whipped) Part of his ear broke, rendering him unable to hear.

(When pistol whipped) The broken part of his ear is described as a "short-circuiting implant". After discarding it, he says he'd trade in the Aether Core for "an ear with some nice basss".

He has the ability to change his fingers into silver blades

When Caleb shoots stone shards at him, they pierce through half of Viper's face. When Caleb slams him into the ground, it destroys the other half of his face

Caleb is said to have crushed Viper's "white prosthetic eye".

At the cemetery, his face is described as being covered in "cracks and blotches"

After providing the protagonist with Kevi's new address, he "sways with the wind" and then instantly "vanishes like mist".

When Caleb twists his head around 180 degrees, Viper begs him to "at leassst put my head back in place before you go?!"

Notable Quotes:

When Kevi is being driven away from the cemetery, Viper says:

"What a lucky kid, sssaved from the fate of being a normal perssson. It'sss better to dance to the tune of the ssstrong than live a plain life. A pawn isss ssstill a pawn. But they have a chance to sssurvive to the end of a large chess game".

In "Crossroads", he recounts their recent accomplishments:
