Be it during a fight or life in general, moral compass means little to DT-8118. If you don’t want a person harmed, you had better specify. General terms mean nothing to him as DT-8118 only deals in specifics. If the rules of a duel say you can’t shoot before the count of three? A grenade over the shoulder is fair game, then. Tell DT-8118 to stop someone at all costs, well, you better not be concerned if they’re brought back dead or alive.

DT-8118's skills as a medic are not just limited to holo-books and lectures. He has read up and practiced a handful of experimental treatments while inventing a few home remedies of his own. This allows DT-8118 to work outside the box in less than ideal situations, and can lead to him solving mysteries other trained medics might struggle with. This, of course, comes with its own string of failures, as nothing is ever perfect. That, and some of the more established professionals in the field often doubt or question DT-8118's alternative practices. He typically brushes them off in favor of doing everything he can to help a patient, but does quietly seek recognition for accomplishments as a healer.

DT-8118 is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows DT-8118 to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, DT-8118 can typically explain and lead others through his plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust him outside thinking.

DT-8118 has a military background, and draws upon his experience to tackle the obstacles in his life. This makes him decisive, efficient, and fearless; provides him with a strong sense of duty and strength; which tends to influence his ability to fight and lead. However, a rigid mind is less compassionate towards individuals and less imaginative, and DT-8118 sometimes risks appearing callous, relatable, or incapable of compromising.

DT-8118 vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that he has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.

Sometimes the only way to prepare for the worst is to always expect it. DT-8118 takes this philosophy one step further by never leaving home without accounting for every possible scenario he might expect to encounter. DT-8118 tends to always have the right tool or item for a situation and has a habit of quietly and almost smugly presenting solutions before anyone even recognizes there is a problem. This foresight is far from infallible, however, and he often finds himself at a loss in situations that go beyond what he could have imagined. While incredibly practical and often a life-saver in a pinch, his perpetually pessimistic outlook on daily life can be a bit draining on more optimistic-inclined companions.
