* AmbiguousDisorder: Florida is often seen as creepy by other Freelancers and faculty on the ship. He shows clear signs of sociopathy such as lack of empathy, extreme risk-taking behavior, and need for stimulation in the form of bloody combat. He has been called a sociopath both in the story and in the comments; however, he himself has stated he never got an official diagnosis.
