Biography[]
Background[]
Clinton does not get along smoothly with his sister, but he is quick to defend her.[2] Mrs. Augustus is his mother. He has talked with his father a few times since he left the family,[3] but is not fond of him.[4][5] Clinton lives in what looks like a dorm room with a roommate.[6]
Interview[]
Working as part of AI-companionship program, Clinton comes to interview Marten about his relationship with his AnthroPC, Pintsize.[7] Clinton is a big fan of Hannelore's father, which led to Clinton paying an uncomfortable amount of attention to Hannelore during their first meeting, after which Marten kicked him out with a sword.[8]
Stalking Hannelore[]
Following day, Faye tied him to a chair in Coffee of Doom after he tried to take a photo of Hannelore.[9]
Clinton later just "happened" to run into Hannelore, Marigold and Momo—to a less than favorable reception.[10] They end up having a somewhat rational—at least for him—discussion about AnthroPCs and technology.[11]
Date with Emily[]
Clinton attended Emily's party at her parents lake house.[12]
Clinton has little to no dating experience. After awkwardly asking Emily out,[13] he went out on a date with her.[14] While attempting to accommodate every Emily's passing remark, Clinton got a new haircut,[15], a tattoo,[16], new glasses,[17] and new boots.[18]
Meeting Brun[]
Clinton met Brun in The Nasty Whale on the day it burned down.[19]
Elliot[]
Elliot tells Clinton that he has feelings for him, and, after talking over things with Claire,[20] Clinton goes for drinks at The Horrible Revelation during one of Elliot's shifts.
Relationships[]
He appears to be taken aback by Pintsize's sexual proclivities.[7][21] Clinton has become involved in a complex, awkward web of relationships involving Brun, Elliott and Emily Azuma, in which none of the participants appears to have any idea how to progress.
Claire[]
Clinton is very protective of Claire.[22] He was very supportive during Claire's exams.[23] Claire helped Clinton towards figuring out his feelings towards Elliot.[24]
Elliot[]
Elliot confessed to Clinton that he has feelings for him.[25] Clinton went for drinks at The Horrible Revelation during one of Elliot's shifts.[26] Later, the two kiss [27] and Clinton acknowledges to his mother that he and Elliot are "a thing".[28]
Brun[]
Clinton is attracted to Brun, but she tells him that she is not attracted to him.[29]
Personality[]
Clinton's personality appears to revolve around his love and fascination with AI and Anthropology.[8] He is a big fan of the inventor of AI, John Ellicott-Chatham.[30]
Appearance[]
Clinton is a rather "bookish" person with a robotic prosthesis on his right arm, installed after his hand was destroyed in a fireworks accident.[1] He states that "...most people put a cover on theirs, but I think they look so much COOLER this way."[7] However, it means that it is unusable in water.[31] He is quite pleased to have it.[1] The hand's features include a semi-autonomous mode of operation in which it can carry out tasks while detached.[32] After his prosthetic hand was accidentally damaged by Elliot, Clinton agreed to start wearing a cover on the hand to prevent further issues.[33]
Trivia[]
