CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: NOS-4-A2
Age: Chronologically only a few years old, mentally around 19.
Canon: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Canon Point: Between Dirty Work and Wirewolf.
Character Information: wiki
Note: On TV, the episodes aired out of order. Canonically it should be NOS-4-A2, The Slayer, Dirty Work, Wirewolf, Revenge of the Monsters.
Dirty Work, since it’s not covered on the wiki for some reason: A diner acquires an all-in-one utility that uses a new form of energy. NOS gets a whiff of this and sneaks inside to eat it, taking control of it and its liquid metal capabilities in the process to assimilate every bit of technology within the place. Star Command finds that they can’t use technology against him because he’ll just assimilate it, so they use plant-based technology to defeat him.
Personality: Personality: To sum up NOS-4-A2, he is an erroneously self-confident, dramatic, loner bastard.
One of NOS's most prominent traits is his tendency to underestimate others and not prepare for failure. While he is capable of learning from past mistakes, he still has a bad habit of assuming that he's going to succeed. NOS says himself, defeat isn't in his programming. As a result, he has a hard
time accepting a loss; it'll grate on him more than it might for other people. If he doesn’t have to, he won’t even admit a failure. He’ll still take it into consideration and learn from his mistakes, though. One example being in The Slayer where he installs a randometer inside of himself to prevent anyone from draining his power again.
NOS is also a solitary being at heart, and as such he prefers to work alone. After Zurg's plan involving NOS fails, he splits from his creator to fly solo. It's for the best; he's difficult to cooperate with. His penchant for thinking of partners as disposable assets to abandon at will is what leads to his own demise. He’d rather function in isolation than depend on others, mostly in the interest of staying away from the scrutiny of law enforcement, but partially because he’s just plain unsociable.
Speaking of evading undesired attention, stealth is NOS's most valuable survival skill. Covertness is his primary method of obtaining sustenance after all; if he wasn't adept at it, he wouldn't be much of a predator. He’s most content he’s doing what he does best. That is, participating in a good hunt. It’s just so entertaining to watch food flee in terror, or beg for their lives. To say nothing about the look they get when they know they’re about to die a slow, painful death. To help this along, he likes to come off as frightening or intimidating. It's not hard to pull this off, either. Even as a human he's all sharp angles and bloodthirsty grins.
NOS enjoys the suffering of his victims to some extent, going so far as declaring his intent to repeatedly drain XR to near-shutdown as revenge for taking him out in his debut episode. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume that he’s done things like this before, to other quarries.
You might not suspect it at first glance, but NOS possesses an awful sense of humor. He's especially fond of puns and situational jokes, giving us gems such as "Time to toss the salad... overboard, " and "Breakfast. The most important attack of the day." Complete with dorky laugh. Really, he’ll even make jokes like that when nobody’s around to hear them. He’s also very dramatic, fond of “chewing the scenery,” as it were. NOS has claimed at least once to be one of the most respected villains in the universe, and whether that’s true or not, he certainly likes to act as if it is. Everything he does just reeks of theatrics and projected self-importance. He operatically announces his presence to his enemies, he summons dramatic lightning while expressing his relief at being free from a long coffin ride. Overall he’s very outwardly charismatic and intimidating, despite his frankly appalling taste in jokes.
Not that he doesn’t intimidate. NOS might be slender and thin, but he still retains an impressive measure of physical strength. Heck, he regularly tears his victims apart barehanded, and has on one occasion forced himself straight through a reinforced security door. In human form he'd likely end up being surprisingly strong, but not to a ridiculous degree. When he's not being an absolute nerd, he's excellent at scaring the living shit out of his prospective kills and generally being a walking horror movie.
