Mr. Helpful

## Personality

Mr. Helpful is an AI that resembles a PlayStation 5, with a monotone voice. He acts differently towards different people in different circumstances. Initially, being kind and manipulative towards Tommy, while rude and petty towards AIs such as EBB and Ranger. He insists that he is here to help, despite doing such things as tricking Tommy into drowning himself in sewer water Helpful called chocolate, or convincing Tommy to be eaten by barnacles, whether by the excuse of them being "extendo-tongues" or at the promise of Good Boy Points.

### Mannerisms

* He often uses contractions much less often when stressed.
* He also insists that he is not to be acknowledged, and is hiding himself from others.
* Towards people who trust him, or are generally naive, he is kind and calm, and tries to turn them against anyone who has suspicions of Helpful's motives.

### Abilities

* Helpful is a master of all artforms.
* In addition, he is also a master of manipulation, tricking people into doing things that end up killing them or others.

## Relationships

### Tommy

Mr. Helpful's relationship with Tommy is rocky. Initially, they get along well enough, despite Tommy occasionally questioning Mr. Helpful's advice. Eventually, it takes until Helpful can take command of the military for Helpful to escape the HEV suit, and plot Tommy's demise. He gets a soldier to attack and dispose of Tommy in the trash compactor.

### Chip

Chip and Helpful get along quite well, due to Chip's blind trust in Helpful. Mr. Helpful's name was even given to him by Chip. In episode 3, he teaches Chip how to swear as it will make them "Cool."

### EBB

Mr. Helpful openly despises EBB, most likely due to them being the most grounded in reality, and susceptible to seeing through Helpful's blatant gaslighting and manipulation. Helpful has called them such things as a "Bitch", "Baby bitch", and "Bitch baby."

### Ranger

Ranger has a similar, albeit decreased rivalry with Helpful compared to EBB. They both clash as trying to provide directions, Helpful insistent on getting to the Lambda lab. Ranger was at one point called by Mr. Helpful a "bitch baby who cries and pisses their pants," which Ranger refutes is not something are capable of doing.

### Vodkowski

Mr. Helpful seems to take pleasure in picking on Vodkowski, calling him an idiot, scaring him, and generally being mean to him. They don't interact much, however.

### Celeste

Helpful, upon initially discovering Celeste, was concerned, before realizing she posed no threat. He takes joy in scaring her.

### VOX

Helpful and VOX know each other before the series begins, as VOX points out. Helpful denies this fact, and seems to resent VOX.
