Personality:
From what little is seen of York in the episodes he's in, there are a few obvious conclusions to draw about him as a person.
The first, is that York is a lot like the other Freelancers, in a way, as far as the questionable morals idea goes. When York is first seen, he’s picking locks to a shop, presumably to steal from it. He doesn't seem concerned at all with the idea of stealing when Tex brings it up; to him, it's a way to pay the rent, which is fairly off-handed and said with no sense of guilt. There's also the fact that he's in Freelancer, which, for the entirety of the show, is shown to be a kind of sketchy sort of organization. Church, who'd had dealings with Freelancer previous to this, remarked at one point that they're a bunch of "cold motherfuckers," which is true, in a lot of ways. For York to be in Freelancer and to have been breaking into places for an undetermined amount of time after leaving Freelancer, it is easy to assume that he's perhaps not the kind of person who worries about others views of right and wrong and more follows his own kind of moral code.
York is also a horrible liar, something that's not changed from when he was younger, and in Freelancer, as well. When he first meets Tex again after a while, he kind of stumbles over just what excuse he's going to settle on, waffling around a bit while drawing out his gun; that isn't exactly the action of someone who is a pacifist, and it shows that York is presumably prepared to do Not So Nice things, in order to keep himself and Delta alive.
For someone, though, who is in essentially a secret, not so nice group, surrounded by people who are either perpetually angry, or focused more on revenge, York seems to be more or less the nice guy of them, simply by the way he treats his AI, and the way he treats Texas/Allison. Sure, you first see him breaking in somewhere, but when Tex first meets them after an undetermined amount of time, and is startled to learn that he still has his AI, York is the one to talk Tex down, and assure her that it isn't Delta that's a threat to anyone, here. He's not particularly eloquent, but he handles the situation with ease, telling her, "Oookay, take it easy," in a tone that's clearly not threatened, dealing with Delta and Tex at the same time with kind of dry amusement.
It's clear he has a sense of humor, from the way that both Delta and York chat back and forth- Delta making little subtle digs at him, nothing malicious, and York just dryly countering like he's very used to that. He also can't help but laugh when Delta reminds him that there's still no way he stands any chance against Texas, regardless of if she has Omega or not- sure, it might sting his pride a little (he comments that Omega-Texas were always the best, and no one could beat them) but he seems generally alright with the jibing back and forth.
When he and Tex go to break into whatever the holographic lock is hiding, York makes a little bit of a deal about the fact that in fact, it's not an encrypted lock which is presumably what Tex told him it was, but a holographic lock. The whole reason he brings up this, he says, is for her to realize how kickass he is, being able to do this. In a way, it's a little bit of showing off.
