Characterization wise, I think you're nearly golden. You are able to balance his caring side with that 'mission first, feelings later' state that he gets from being a top government agent. My one thing I'd say is he seems a little too serious sometimes, but honestly, that could be because he's got PG history that helps build his character more.
Past game history can add another layer to a character and I think that's what's happening here, at least from Claire's point of view. Of course, a way to explain that in canon sense, is that he did seem a lot more serious in Degeneration. In Resident Evil 6 he gets a little bit of his humor back, he's back with his witty puns like in Resident Evil 4. He's still goal oriented, but we see a little bit of that rookie cop that we all fell in love with.
TL;DR, I'm missing a bit more of his humor, but otherwise you're doing a fantastic job. I literally bounce when you reply. I wish we were on at better times together so we could get a lot of tagging done at once. I think it'd maybe help Claire get past that seriousness too.
You're quite right about the previous game history. In canon, he never sees anyone he's very close to die, but at his last game he watched friends get tortured and die over and over, and that's made him more somber. However, I don't him want to come off as a complete wet blanket, so I'll definitely work on integrating more of his light-hearted side.
I appreciate your comment a lot. Thank you for helping me improve!
