IN CHARACTER
Name: Agent Washington (originally David)
Canon: Red vs Blue
Canon Point: The end of Season 8, just after fighting the Meta
Age: 29
History: http://rvb.wikia.com/wiki/Washington
Personality: During Project Freelancer, he was was a lot more trusting and upbeat, still believing that they were doing the right thing, dedicated to the cause. He came across as somewhat childish, naive and a little gullible. He made friends easily, often being treated as the younger brother of the group; often teased for his outlook on the world and his inexperience, but still supported and generally liked by the rest of the Freelancers. He repaid this by being hard working, protective and utterly dedicated to the project and his teammates. In these surroundings, it isn't surprising perhaps that he was loyal to a fault, willing to overlook the occasional oddity, the times that the Director pushed them too hard, the thoughts that there was something rotten hidden at the heart of the project. And if it he did pay attention, then it had to be for a good cause, surely? Alongside this was a feeling of gratitude and obligation; he says that the Director gave them everything, which makes him reluctant to believe Connecticut when she raises doubts.
This changed with Epsilon. The AI was already insane when it was implanted into Wash. When he was implanted into Wash, the memories and pain and hurt that went with it proved too much. Wash was left screaming and unstable himself. Even when the AI was removed, he was left unconscious for a significant amount of time, except for the brief periods when he woke up screaming. He spent a lot of time unable to tell what was real and what was Epsilon's memories, often unable to tell who he even was.
After this it is unsurprising that his personality began to change. With the people that he had trusted most either dead or having betrayed or abandoned him, and with dangerous knowledge of the Director's aims in his head, he had to change in order to survive. Paranoia kept him alive, where trust had half destroyed him. He became much colder, shoving his emotions down until he could deny that they existed, learnt how to survive through manipulation and deceit. Convincing people of his loyalty so that he could twist the knife in their back. While before Epsilon, he still had moments of sarcasm, that twisted into something much more bitter and angry. The focus of his life became revenge; revenge for Epsilon and Alpha, revenge for what had happened to him.
His sanity is questionable at times. He still retains many of Epsilon's memories and the emotions associated with them and especially with many of them being particularly intense, there are times when Wash is unable to distinguish which memories are him and which Epsilon, or even who he is supposed to be. He can at times become lost in these memories, especially after nightmares or when one crops up without warning; a dangerous effect when one needs to be in control just to stay alive. There are other effects too; Wash is prone to bouts of insomnia, periods when he avoids sleep because he will inevitably dream about Epsilon and what happened to them both. He also tends towards the self-destructive; while he isn't actively seeking to kill himself, he is willing to take more risks than are strictly necessary, putting himself into danger and not caring if he gets hurt, so long as he achieves his goals.
With everything that had happened, betrayal after betrayal, and being used as a pawn by the Director, he became obsessed with revenge and bringing down the man who had given him everything and then destroyed it. But this wasn't an irrational burst of anger; his desire for revenge made him cold, isolated, but most of all, patient. He bided his time, waiting for the right moment to destroy him, the point when it would hurt most and do the most damage.
Similarly, when he's offered a chance to clear his name, he is willing to do nearly anything to achieve that, including killing some of the people he'd worked with before, treating the Meta, the shell of one of his former friends with a certain amount of cruelty, and even stooping to abusing Doc to get information from him. He is extremely ruthless. He's lost everything, everyone has betrayed him, so why should he care about helping anyone else? However there is a certain amount of self-awareness in what he does. He knows that he is becoming a monster, and even displays genuine confusion when the Blues adopt him, not able to believe that anyone would want to help him after that.
The distance and aloofness that he used as a protective measure to hide what he knew, have become habit. When he does have to interact with people, he tends to be brusque, curt, and to the point, with a vein of cynicism. He doesn't trust you, he certainly doesn't like you and in fact, you are probably getting in his way.
Setting:
Wash is coming from a very bad place for him. He's depressed and angry and seeking only revenge for perceived betrayals. Wash is going to have a lot of adjusting to do. Space and space travel isn't new to him, although the method is, but he's going to have to spend a lot of time adjusting to being surrounded by people again and having to work with them. A lot of his immediate subsconscious goals are going to be learning how to trust again, and how to function as part of a society instead of a military operation, or a lone wolf operative. There'll be a lot of culture shock too, since everything works on a very different system to what he's used to; Wash is used to strict structures and hierarchies, and to using force when he can't get something that he needs. He's going to have to adjust to a more egalitarian society, although he will probably still gravitate towards the more dangerous aspects of the game.
Abilities/Skills:
Wash is an excellent combatant, able to hold his own against most enemies. He's particularly skilled with firearms, especially a battle rifle, and is shown as being able to take down a couple of hornets (small planes) by himself. He is also very good with knives, able to engage in close combat using them, and to throw them with exceptional force and accuracy. He's even shown to have very good reflexes and is able to catch several knives that have been thrown at him.
His hand to hand skills, while not up to the same level as Carolina, are still strong. He manages to hold his own in combat against Epsilon-Texas and the Meta. His style tends more towards brawling and fighting dirty than being particularly fluid.
He apparently has some skill with infiltration and lockpicking, as he is Carolina's pick to take York's place during the Sarcophagus mission, when York is out of commission. He also shows an understanding of strategy and tactics and, is capable of being an effective leader, although he isn't really at that point yet.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Combat/Physical fitness: Wash is an elite solider with a wealth of combat experience and training. He is excellent with knives and guns, and very good with hand to hand, although not to the same extent as his Freelancer comrades.
Durability: Wash seems to be capable of surviving and recovering from injuries that would kill most other people. He has been shot, stabbed, blown up, hit, had his mind torn apart by an unstable AI fragment, and run over multiple times. And he is, seemingly, fine.
Strategy/Tactics: Wash is generally good at planning and has strong leadership skills when he chooses to learn how to use them.
Determination: Both a skill and a weakness; once Wash sets his mind to something, he is doggedly determined to fulfill his goal, be it completing a mission, or getting revenge on people who have wronged him.
Loyalty: When Wash finds a team that he can trust, he is extremely loyal to them and will do pretty much anything to keep them safe, including putting himself in harm's way.
Temper: Wash definitely has anger issues (and has for his entire life). When he was a teenager her smashed another kid's face into a mirror as revenge for bully several years prior. These days there's less outbursts of rage, and instead he channels it more effectively into taking someone who has wronged him down no matter what. He can hold a grudge for a very long time.
Mental Stability: Wash will insist that he is not crazy, but it's true that he's not the most stable person after Epsilon was implanted. He states that sometimes he wakes up and doesn't know who he is. He has also displayed a reckless disregard for his own life that borders on suicidal. As he says when he went to confront the Director and destroy the Project, he never intended to survive.
Items: One suit of grey and yellow Mjolnir Armour+bodysuit. A battle rifle and sidearm, A combat knife. An AI capture unit.

Network Sample:
[Wash appears on the screen, grudgingly out of armour, his face drawn and pinched around the mouth.]
My name is Ag- [No, he's not Agent Washington anymore is he? He's not with the UNSC. He's not with project Freelancer. He's not anything.] My name is Washington.
They said that- [He can't believe he's saying this. His life is a fucking joke and his death will probably be the punchline. Until then, he is stuck dealing with this shit. Assuming he hasn't snapped altogether. That's also a possibility.]
They said that I have been sucked in through some kind of bullshit dimension hopping. [Yes, his teeth are gritted as he says it.] I'm looking for anyone who knows what the UNSC is.
[It's not that he wants to find anyone from home. There's no-one he cares for. But he just needs someone to remind him that that wasn't all fictional.]
