Personality Curly's personality can be described as dependable. He is a promising and ambitious man with a big future ahead of him. Over time, he grows discontent with his position, wondering if the captain is "all [he'll] ever be." He reflects on having chosen the wrong career path. Still, he cares about his friends and crewmates, not wishing to leave them behind. Respected and beloved on his ship, Curly is called a "great captain" by his co-workers. He has personal conflicts with his friend and co-pilot, Jimmy, who both admires Curly and envies him. He is responsible yet lenient, and his efforts to see the best in everyone lead to his overlooking conflicts on the ship. He tends to ignore inconvenient details to focus on the bigger picture, both symbolically when he cannot see the dead pixel on the monitor in the lounge and when he does not act against Jimmy after learning he assaulted Anya.

Relationships

Jimmy Jimmy and Curly are presented as having been friends for quite sometime before the game's events. It is implied that Curly assisted in getting Jimmy the position of co-pilot. Curly appears to be lenient to his friend, ignoring his violent outbursts and not taking any serious measures after learning Jimmy raped Anya, assuring her that "he knows him." Despite Jimmy showing himself to be deeply resentful of Curly and dangerous to his crewmates, Curly trusts him to navigate alone.

Relationships

Curly's relationship with Swansea is typical to that of a captain and his employee. There is mutual respect, and Curly trusts Swansea enough to let him keep the axe after Curly uses it to free Daisuke from the foam before the crash. Swansea complains that everything goes through Curly, being discontent that he holds so much importance over them.

Relationships

They have a trusting relationship, spending time together on the ship. Anya is trusting enough with Curly to joke with him after his psychological evaluation and is distracted by the fact that Curly won't open up to her. Anya confides her problems in Curly, telling him about the dead pixel on the monitor distracting her and about being sexually assaulted by Jimmy. However, Curly appears to hold her in lower regard than his co-pilot, reprimanding her for hiding the gun safe and not taking any serious measures against Jimmy.
