"Game over, man!" guy? I remember him. Aliens is one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time.

See, I don't like the idea having completely illogically motivated characters. People don't just do things because they can (...unless you're the idiots who wrote Resident Evil 5). Nobody's that one dimensional; everyone has a reason for their actions, even if it's a horrifying, selfish reason. Nobody is knowingly evil. Everyone tries to justify their actions; sometimes it even makes sense in a twisted sort of way.

As for Nolan, I'm trying to stay more or less true to character: Nolan is a hyper emotional, somewhat immature, idiot. That's not to say he's a bad guy, he's just exasperating at first; he gets to be genuinely heroic later on. He grows up a lot as things progress, but like most of the kids from the first arc, he's not a major character afterward, so he doesn't crop up as often.
