[character personality]:In terms of instant appearances, Harry comes across as a somewhat immature, slightly incompetent, super non-threatening individual. Every single one of these assumptions is also correct. For whatever reason, he's managed to stumble through life not so much through any kind of personal skill or with any amount of ambition, but more with sheer dumb luck and a sort of endearing quality that tends to make people help him out as they smack him upside the back of the head for his complete lack of common sense. He compulsively steals little things when he feels stressed out, speaks without thinking at all beforehand, has very little ability to use forethought, and has a deep seated fear of finishing anything, to the point where even things he actually wants can be dropped by the wayside.
Despite having a myriad of faults, Harry is actually a pretty good person though. It's difficult to find someone who tries any harder in the face of repeated failure, and for someone whose vocation is mainly theft, he possesses a rather strong moral compass, or at the very least a strong sense of compassion for other people. Also, again particularly for a thief, he's remarkably good at putting other people ahead of himself, leaving nearly everyone he meets on an even keel without putting too much thought into it. Well, technically he doesn't put a great deal of thought into most things, so that's not entirely uncommon, but even so.
Honestly, Harry tends to be one of those people that you either almost instantly find annoying, or tolerate in a sort of wayward-puppy kind of way. He doesn't really mess around with social etiquette - not on any conscious, buck-the-system level, but simply because they're something that requires at least a little bit of consideration for what you're about to say versus what you maybe perhaps shouldn't. Some people find such innocent honesty to be somewhat nice, others find it fairly offensive; it really depends on their own personalities. [point in timeline you're picking your character from]: Post film. Effectively from around the scene in the credits sequence.
[journal post]:[Video opens very prematurely. There's a full thirteen seconds of nothing but a slightly canted room, and then someone from the bridge of the nose up appears from the side of screen. The screen adjusts to be more fully on his face and then over-corrects to be slightly tilted in the other direction.]
So, like, where is this place? I get that it's a city, but... There's loads of those things all over the place - I can even name you a few - so... where is this one? Is Gay Perry here? If anybody knows where he is then you can just... Beam me to him and he'll know what to do, I guess. Unless any of you guys - or gals, I don't wanna get things thrown at me again like last time - knows where he is then I'd sort of be happy if you could, you know... Do that.
Oh! Is there anywhere to get a decent pizza round here? Or... The money for a pizza, and then the pizza. Maybe anybody who already wants a pizza and doesn't mind sharing with me for now. That would work.
