A lot of what I wrote about Gaeta last time still applies. The big changes/additions:
1) He's post-canon, and thus very dead.
2) As a result, he will always be dressed in civvies -- but he does still wear his Fleet dog tags underneath his shirt. You might catch a glimpse of the bronze ball chain if you're looking for it.
3) While he's not on morpha anymore, he's started drinking more frequently to make up for it; you can safely assume he's a little buzzed if he's down in the bar proper.
4) He frakking hates asking for help. Asking how he's doing will get a rote "fine," despite the PTSD/depression very much making it otherwise; he also won't complain if he has to get up and move around, no matter how difficult it might be. He's more likely to open up and be truthful to people he knows well, but even then...yeah, can we not and say we did?
5) Depending on how bad he's doing, inviting him to see Earth will either get a polite (if strained) rejection or outright bristling. It can feel like a taunt, considering the Earth in his world was completely destroyed.
I'll add more if I think of it, and come back to write up Bolin later!
